Announcing: Ord Mantell: Junkyard

This a re-thread from the original, which was overlooked when map announcements were moved from SWBF1 Modding to here.

Anyway here's the story and layout:
The map has 6 CPs: 2 for the Rebels/CIS, 2 for the Empire/Republic, and 2 neutral. The map is in the shape of a bullseye. The 4 controlled CPs and 1 neutral CP make an outer ring (more of a square now). In the very center is the other neutral CP. The Empire/Republic's 2 CPs have a tunnel under the junk that runs between them.

GCW story: The Rebel Alliance, short on credits and resources, have launched an assault on Ord Mantell's extensive junkyards. They hope to find some good, usable hardware, but instead find an Imperial ambush.

CW story: The Trade Federation, always looking for a way to save credits and add more droids to their arsenal, have decided to launch an attack on Ord Mantell's vast stores of used hardware. Unknown to the Seperatists, the Republic has stationed a small garrison to foil their plans.

Because there wasn't enough "junk" in the assets, I made some of my own. I made a few prop vehicles, a lot of of the chunks (from when they're destroyed), and I put in/fixed the hulks (props of destroyed vehicles; hulks are: Gian Speeder, Republic Gunship, Nubian Speeder, and Spider Walker, all of which lacked ODFs except the Gian). Because I still lack the skills to add mobil CPs, the MTT and Hovernaut ae in as props. A future version will have them both in and working, thanks to Teancum's amazing work on the Hovernaut.

As most now know, I have been unable to directly upload this map due to my really bad dial-up. However, I will upload this map somehow.

Edit: Here's some screens:

How will you post screens I thought you said you couldn't because of your 49k connection?

He just can't finish loading a whole level, screens don't take nearly as long.

The spider walker hulk was my favorite discovery.

It really adds realism to CW battlefields or junkyards.

I've been playing this map some, and it's fairly balanced and dificult. CPs change hands many times during a battle, and flanking maneuvers are as common as blaster fire.

Off-topic : Unfortunately, it seems that Gynt_Ryles has ceased consulting GameToast Message-Board as often as in the past months, and in case you would not succeed in locating a working Download URL associated to the Star Wars Battlefront level dealt with this thread, then I would highly advise you to submit a Private Message toward this member, as this is surely one of the most effective way to obtain answers to most of the questions you would wish to ask him...
