I, in the ReadMe, wrote:Alderaan Final 1.0 - By Schizo (X-Fire: Nzdjh, Email: [email protected])


My long-awaited first map for BFII has gone final. The entire project was able to go very smoothly, and the map took shape in just the way I wanted. I've been able to fix most of the bugs and problems with the map and make it a very enjoyable map to play. At least, I had fun playing it. Hopefully you will to.


Backstory:

The Confederacy of Independant Systems (CIS), getting desperate for resources after the hard first year of the Clone Wars, draws up plans for a mass invasion of several vital Republican planets. Devised by the ruthless General Grievous himself, the plan is precise and thorough. Soon the plan is finalized, and the CIS forces attack. General Grievous leads several bloody campaigns against the Republican planets. But one planet in particular, the peaceful merchant world of Alderaan, is a very promising reward for the CIS war effort. If the droid forces were able to overtake the clone forces on Alderaan, the Republic's economy would take a shattering blow, demoralizing and crippling the clone forces in that sector. Putting the droid commander OOM-9 in charge of the campaign, Grievous orders the attack, and the CIS raids the planet with everything they have.

Now, in the heat of battle, the Clone forces must hold back the droids long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Will the clones hold out? Or will the CIS crush them under their military might? That's up to you to decide.


Features:

- New Special units for the Republic, including a modified Jet Trooper, and ARC Captain.

- New stuff for the CIS as well! Droid Sniper has been given a new camo skin (you'll notice he blends in extremely well with his surroundings... just like a sniper should ). Droid Engineer has been given the blue droid skin like in the movies, and the magna guard has been replaced with the CIS Maruader, which helps balance out against the Jet Trooper.

- New weapons, inlcuding:

• DC-15S blaster rifle (Jet Trooper)
• "Scatter" Gun (ARC Captain)
• Wrist-Mounted Flame Thrower (ARC Captain)
• Modified shotgun (ARC Engineer)

- My own, made up custom Jedi for the Republic; Vashik Sadar.

- OOM-9 as the hero for the CIS! Have fun... he pwns.

- New pwnage mini-map thanks to SQUIPPLE; Master of Everything.


Known Bugs:

- Not necessarilly a bug, but bot pathing isn't perfect, but then again, it never really is anyway. The main problem is the tanks getting caught up on objects. I've tried fixing it, but this is the best I can get it. The bots are too stupid to follow the planning anyway... -_-


Fixed Bugs and Changes (from previous .75, .95, and .99 beta releases)

- DC-15S and Scatter Rifle no longer have the award rifle bug.

- Mini-map is now in-game (and pwning).

- Ground has been lightened a bit, though, I notice that when you play the map with terrain quality on the high setting, it's really dark. I recommend playing on the low terrain quality setting; it looks better (oh the irony ).

- All units, weapons, etc. are localized and fixed.

- Neutral CP on CIS side is no longer floating off the ground.

- 1-Flag CTF has been fixed up and tweaked.

- Mini-map has been tweaked so as it's a little more accurate.

- 2-Flag CTF, XL, and Hero Assault mode have been removed due to way too many bugs (I never play them anyway...)

- Added barriers around the center of the map, so bots won't get stuck on the walls and fountains.

- Vashik Sadar's animations have been changed from Obi-Wan's to Luke's. I like it better that way anyway.

- Added some stuff to the CIS to balance it out more. Playing as the droids is a lot more enjoyable now.

- Toned down the ARC Captain a bit so as he's not so god-like and a little less... unbeatable. Increased the number of points to Unlock to 20, and weakened his gun just a tad, but nothing all that noticable. He now no longer makes much of a difference in the map since it takes so long to unlock him.

- Cleaned up the Clones just a bit. They now all wear blue matching armor. The Sniper still has the camo armor though.

Credits and Thanks:

- Teancum, for basically setting up all the gamemodes and helping to get the original version of the map working. He also was vital to the map for helping me fix the animation bug with Vashik Sadar (after adding the custom CIS side to the map, his animations got all f-ed up, so spawning as him would crash the game). It works perfectly fine now, though. You deserve the most thanks, man.

- And also, Squipple for the PWNAGE mini-map. Looks exactly like the official ones. Just what I wanted. Thanks man.

- Everyone else at GT who helped to find bugs, problems, etc., and for all their support. Thanks a lot guys. You really helped in making this map.

Hopefully the next one will be better. It'll mainly involve alleyway fighting and such. Like this map, it'll focus on infantry fighting for the most part, though I may add some speeders and whatnot. There'll probably be some skyway action too. Depends if I can incorperate it into the map well enough. I'm sure I'll figure something out.
