New Jedi Order Mod

Post by Trans »

Well, uh this is really old and before the mod really developed so if I sound like an idiot at the beginning of this forum you can just go right along and ignore me. :wink:
original post wrote:I have started reading the "New Jedi Order" series and it has inspired me to make some maps from the Yuuzhan Vong war. I've already began thinking of maps including a map of the Dubrillion conflict, it would include a Yuuzhan Vong matalok, an asteroid field and Dubrillion with coralskippers etc. sorta like Bandu's Cato Neimoda map.

I'm open to suggestions and comments :)

now I'm going to read more

oops the "no" option didn't appear so just vote I don't care for no

There would be a Yuuzan Vong matalok, an asteroid field, and a part of Dubrillion. The only problem is figuring out how to make the transition from the asteriod field to Dubrillion not look extremely bad.

Gah, weirdos. The idea PWNs. George Lucas actually thought of the whole story and had a rough story line for it. He told the authors what to include and then read over their stories and approved them.

He chose that Chewbacca could die.

:(

Anyways, as Guru said, mod tools are needed first.

i would love this mod/map! if you need help with idea's i'm here, i have the entire series except one of the ebooks (recovery, i believe its called). i unfortunately dont know how to mod battlefront, but hopefully i'll figure that out at some point.

the most often seen name for a vong capital ship is "matalok", they have others but they're usually referred to as cruiser-analog, frigate-analog, etc.
as for flyable ships, you could have:
fighter:coralskipper
interceptor:slayers' skip (they're in the last book)
bomber:hm, i'll have to think about that one
transport:yorik-trema landing craft
or alternately you could have ers be the slayer's skip and interceptors be grutchins, but that might be kind of weird & difficult to mod. slayers' skips could really work as interceptors or ers, but interceptors seemed more appropriate to me off the top of my head.

and of course for the player classes on a space map you'd have a vong pilot and a vong warrior.

I didn't know George Lucas thought of this story, it was really sad when Chewie died though :cry:
and for mikey here is some info on them: http://www.starwars.com/databank/specie ... index.html

lol I saw your post dreadlordnyax right after posting this one. This is great info thanks I'll fix my first post accordingly, anyway maybe when the mod tools arrive you could help me with this because I am only now finishing the second book :D

Okay Three things about this topic
1 This whole thing i don't really care about but it would be fun to play.
2 I love the looks of the yuuzhan vong. I think they look way cool.
3 This would be cool even if you didn't like the yuuzhan vong.

Wow that list would be good to have I'm glad you made that, maybe I should too while I am reading the books so I or we can add more correct detail into the maps. As far as the modding goes the mod tools have not even been realesed for SWBF 2 so everyone will be new if it is different than the mod tools for SWBF :)
