Ideas for a map

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 1:51 pm

Ok, first of all, I know you are all thinking- this is the wrong thread to post ideas for a map but before you say that, I'm going to tell you. I want ideas for a map im making. I found no threads in that similar topic, so I asked EraOfDesann. He said I could post my topic HERE because there was no other thread related to what i want to post. So please (Admins/moderators) don't lock or delete the topic because I've gotten permission from Desann

Now.. I wanted to get your guys's opinions on a Kashyyyk Mountain map. I've barely started. actually, I did, but I lost my progress, so I have to start over. ( I can't post in WIP thread cause it's not 50% done of course

) Anyways, I have some pretty cool ideas for the map, but like I said i want to get your opinions of it

1: Should I add capital ships hovering above the map?

2: Should I add ground vehicles? ( I was thinking about this one cause it might be hard to manuever the vehicles

)

3: Should I add starfighters? (to fly up to the capital ships)

4: Should I add a few Juggernaut props? nvm I'm gonna do it. LOL

5: Should the sky be dark or light ( night or day )

6: Should I add rain? (ooohh rain

)

7: Should I add mist at the top of the mountains? ( If i can figure out how to do it)

8: what kind of water masses should I put in? lakes, ponds, lagoons etc.

Ok, so there are the objects/features i need help deciding whether to put into the map. Please share your opinion! And like I said before: Please do not lock topic, delete topic, or give me a warning because I got an OK from Desann

. Thx in advance!

Rain with starfigters is always fun, and it looks cool while you're flying. A lake would be neat, I like to get stuck underwater and drown lol. Maybe have a deep lake with tanks spawning on either side.

Ok...

Sounds good. But should it be dark or light? And maybe if someone tells me how, i might add lightning if you guys want it dark

Umm.. light

. Doesn't matter to me, but I can't think of many light maps with rain.

1: Should I add capital ships hovering above the map?

Depends on the amount of stuff you have on the ground. it might be laggy if you have a whole lot of stuff below the capital ships.

2: Should I add ground vehicles? ( I was thinking about this one cause it might be hard to manuever the vehicles )

In the mountains...depends on how wide the paths are. AT-RTs are the only vehicles I could see on mountain passes.

3: Should I add starfighters? (to fly up to the capital ships)

If the area is big enough.

4: Should I add a few Juggernaut props? nvm I'm gonna do it. LOL

5: Should the sky be dark or light ( night or day )

If you can get the effects right, night would be awesome.

6: Should I add rain? (ooohh rain )

I don't think it would look as good during the daytime, but if it was at night...

7: Should I add mist at the top of the mountains? ( If i can figure out how to do it)

Test the lag from the fog and if there isn't very much, keep it. I think there are mist props in the Mygeeto ODfs.

8: what kind of water masses should I put in? lakes, ponds, lagoons etc.

I believe Rends has a waterfall prop at his site somewhere.

This should most definitely be locked

Anyways,
1. Naw
2. Depends on how big the map is/how rough the terrain is
3. Meh. Naw.
4. w00t! Yup.
5. Night
6. Most definitely
7. More like fog at the bottom. Or throughout the whole map...
8. A swamp-ish place. Like Dagobah. Then you could add fog.

There.

Ok.. night it is! But why should this be locked? where else would I post something like this.

And in case you didnt notice, I got Desann's permission

Lol. ok

And yes I'll try to make it night. I'm not the most experienced modder so I might need help with a few things

Edit: cool troopers?

Make it Day id im not too late in my saying, make it day so its like a sun shower and reflection in the lake and mabye a dark tunnel system for dark lovers, there are lighting effects, i think ive seen a model of a flashing lightbulb on some modding website. Make it day like a daylight shower. Less work. =)

Wanna speak English please? Thank you.

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 8:54 pm

Ya... what do you want?

Sry. But I think the map is going to take place at night/evening

Pi314 · Post by **Pi314** » Sat Nov 25, 2006 5:14 am

ohh, yeah. at sundown would be sweet. cause it's in the mountains half the map would already be dark and the other half would be trenched in a red light.

fog is not only in swampy areas. if it is high up in the mountains it is not unlikely that there is some fog.

valiant · Post by **valiant** » Sat Nov 25, 2006 11:00 am

And fog is in areas when the temperature change meets ground. Plains DO get fog a lot.
