Wait till someone asks for beta testers before asking for a beta spot.

Hey there! Since this map has basically taken a bakburner to many other projects till recently, I think it's time for an update (especially since I'm so slow working on this map that it couldn't possibly be worth the wait now ). I have the nighttime world set up. Observe:
Saved the best for last:
Now, witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational weapon...Commander Gree's Sniper Barrage command:

I've still got a few things to do. I have to set up Hunt mode and sides for that, do a lot of balancing, debugging, and localizing. I'm going to stop giving rough estimates now, because that's just a recipe for dissapointment.

That is all.

wow.......this is looking really great!!!
Do you reckon you would release those assets when you're done???

Dude, you have been working on this map longer than I've been here and I've been around for a long time. But nevertheless, glad to see your back in action. Keep it up.

EDIT:
Just saw the Gree video, that weapon is gonna pwn! Oh and I think you should change Gree's rifle to the smaller one since that's what he had in the film.

Glad to see this map is still chugging along. Gree's sniper barrage is cool too. My only suggestion would be to make tha impact effect lest smoky. It looks too much like an ol' orbital strike with all that smoke and explosions.

WOW.
very good work, man!

Wow, very good, the best Kashyyyk map I've ever seen . Can't wait to get it.

Glad to see this project is still alive. I do have one suggestion for the night world, though: make it a bit brighter, as I have a hard time seeing what's in those pictures.

That... Is... Amazing...

Cannot wait for this to come out, I have been following it just about since I saw it a month or so before I joined...

ditto, looks awesome

The sniper barrage is definately one of the best "perks"(call it what you want) I've ever seen, to me at least among the most canon. But maybe cut down on the sandy, smokey effects there I can hardly see the droids being massacred.(What am I saying?!?!?) I'm glad this one is still coming, the posts died down around when I first came. But never-the-less I read about and waited for this to come, and finally I get to say that this is a awesome map. Keep it up.

Thanks for the update even though I already PM'ed you about it . Still looking forward to this map. Did you ever get the Juggernauts to work?

Sadly, no. I ended up just making them self-piloted armed buildings. Again, they still add a healthy amount of chaos to the atmosphere and help to balance the gameplay. Besides, there will be plenty of modified vehicles and player classes to play with. Also, I really want to start on my other Battlefront idea (which I will definately not announce till I'm convinced it is a month or two away from completion - I've learned my lesson), so I'm having to cut down on misc cool features that would be nice to have.

Ah well. Still looking forward to them.

I'm very excited, and looking forward towards the release.

Looks awesome. Consider me hyped.

Pretty sick dude, and you said this is your first??? You've got skillz

Research papers ftl!

For an update, I've done a LOT of bug fixing, balancing, and bug fixing. And bug fixing. I've also been cutting back on the object count a little, as well as cutting the AI as much as I can in the name of map stability (don't worry, XL and Uber will still have plenty of AI). I think I've got all of the "crash over time" issues worked out, but the Beta will determine that. And honestly, I doubt very much that this map will provide a stable MP experience. I've learned my lesson: don't make gargantuan maps. But it's too late to change that now. At least it's full of action.

Right now, I'm trying to get the Catamaran to work properly. After that, only small touch-ups are needed, and the beta release will be very soon after. This research paper is the only thing that is slowing me down right now, and it will be due in a couple of weeks. Finally, an end in sight! xD

Good job on this map man! It's amazing! I honestly love maps based of stock planets, but just, BETTER! This is amazing work. Also, less smoke on Gree's sniper barrage. It just doesn't look quite right.

Can't wait for this map, it looks amazing!
