That's right my friends... a TDM, or Team Death Match map.

Look I have screens.

Check them out in my download section in the ARC: Republic Vanguard forum right here on gametoast.com.

P.S. These screens were taken using my Weapon Expo Mod "CW" and that mod is recomanded for all the TDM maps.

Alright, just played it out and all I can say is; excellent.

It really felt like a Team Death match. It really looked like the bots were focusing on kills instead of capturing. And I really liked your use of random spawn points. Nice placement of objects too, And the Ai made good use of them. Ran into no errors, well, one clone refused to move during his whole life span but I got nothing other then that if that even qualifies as a glitch. Great work! It's nice to see some effort being made to add new game modes other then conquest.

Cool. Are you going to make a TDM for all the planets that were included in the game?

i.e. Cloud City, Hoth Tunnels, Kashyyyk Village.

Ya I will make TDMs for all the planets, they are easy to build and setup.

What I can't decide it weather to include vecs or not... I like infantry fighting but I know lots of people don't.

TDM: Arena is a geno map, this one is Rhen Var, next I am thinking Kassyyk.

deathmaster, the EXE file is currently pointed to a default folder in your C: drive, Lucas Arts.... if you have SWBF installed somewhere other than the typical install puts it you need to alter the path the executable uses for the install

Hmmmm....... Vehicles don't seem like they fit in a battlefront TDM. I'm fine with just infantry fighting,
but if you do put vehicles in, make it so that there is only one or two moderate power vehicles
(AT-ST, Combat Speeder, etc.) depending on the size of the map. or just leave them out all together.
Speeder bikes would be alright though.

ya I was thinking altered vecs with lower health and such...

But I think I'll leave them out simply because I don't know what kind of effect it will have on my AI setup.

I used the spawn point system combined with the CPs to trick the AI into the TDM mentality... vecs might ruin the illusion as the clones/droids will all run for them *shrug*

Only other thing I was thinking is to bring the maps in tighter... cause atm they are a bit spread out... though I did it so that I could have larger amounts of AI, smaller maps with less AI would still be fun.

Maybe I will very the map sizes from map to map *shrug*

Look forward to more TDMs coming soon, as well as ARC: Hypori.

Oh and there are easter eggs in TDM: Rhen Var... first to find all 5 of them wins... *shifty eyes* ... not telling you what untill you do.

The easter eggs are gargoyles. Throughout TDM: Rhen Var there are five little gargoyles perched on places looking creepy. Find all 5 little buggers and PM me screen shots as well as a small caption under each one to describe where you found it. We will see who has the better eye... (or the most crazy amount of game time

)

Here is my entry for the Gargoyle contest! Please tell me if anything is wrong with it.

Gargoyle 1

Found: Left of the Clones' CP. In the middle of a three story building.

Gargoyle 2

Found: Next to a small passageway (that you cannot walk through) that can only be reached with a jetpack.

Gargoyle 3

Found: On a pedestal within a room with no celing. Close to the ground.

Gargoyle 4

Found: On the top of the highest of three pillars.

Gargoyle 5

Found: On top of a high gate.

It was really fun to search for those Gargoyles, you should make another one like this! Good map as well, but I still like the ARC map better.

SUPER_SHADOWMAN completed the contest first according to the time stamps on the PMs I recieved. A full 3 hours before his closest competitor.

He had the appropriete screen shots attached, but I don't want to completely ruin it for those still wanting to find them... so I just left in his captions as like... hints.

Congratz Shadowman, and better luck on the next TDM contest runners up.

Next contest will be on TDM: Arena and will begin sometime tonight.

I have no clue what that contest was about but this is an awsome map. Its just plain Battle no specific team areas just BATTLE, its just insane. Haven't played a map like this one since I tested Lord Bandu's Jedi Temple Map. Another Nice job OOM-9.

sry about the delay on TDM: Arena.... it is mainly complete and all I just got distracted this last weekend.

Parents were out of town and my girl friend and I basically lived at my house alone all weekend. Funny even though I was home all weekend I found little time for SWBF

Sounds suspicious...

I hope you two behaved while they were gone...

OOM-9 · Post by **OOM-9** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 6:45 pm

Yes, all TDMs will have a contest built into them

They make good advertisements.
