Okay, so I finally got around to posting a WIP topic about my current map. It's been in the works for a little over a year now, and I think it's finally time to reveal my baby to you guys.

Map Features (in no particular order):
* Custom Skins for many units
* A slight revamp of the CIS side
* Several new units
* Conquest, Hero Assault, and Campaign modes (Possibly Hunt, too)
* Randomly selected sides for the GCW era (picks between Rebels, Empire, and Zann Consortium)
* Heroes for Hero Assault are randomly picked, drawing from shipped and Conversion Pack assets

Map Screenies: Campaign Mode: And for those of you who like units: I've still got work to do on this map (mostly sound-related) before I'm ready to beta it, but it's starting to get close. This is really a community project more than anyone realizes--there are so many models and things in this map that were created by others, and I'm just bringing them together and adding my own twist. I don't have a credits list compiled yet (I will when the map is released) but I want to thank everyone who contributed by releasing their hard work to the modding community.

So... What do you think?

That...




Looks...



And about the rancor... maybe you can reskin the wampa and scale it to the size of a rancor?

Looks nice, but yikes - that minimap. I know some people are very talented at setting up SWBF2-esque minimaps - and I'm not one of them. So it might be a good idea to do what I do for my minimaps for yours - take an orthographic screenshot, scale it correctly (easy if you're viewing your mapbounds region), and touch up that screenshot a bit.

I did try that early on, but the wampa model just looks too different to make a convincing rancor.

Well, the main issue with that is that most of those brown wavy lines are underground tunnels. As you can see, they make up a relatively large portion of my map, so I can't really leave them out, but they wouldn't show up if I just took a screenshot of the map itself.

Hmm... perhaps I could take a screenshot and then add the tunnels in over top? I could try that.

You can make terrain invisible in ZE, too.

Well, yes, but then you get a big grid across the map. I'll play with the minimap a little--it's still a work in progress.

wow man. this looks really good. Kudos (and cookies ) to you for including a campaign mode. Can't wait to play this

all i can say is

this is so incredible. ive always wanted a dathomir map, and one with a campaign is just!!!! really awesome job on this. i will definetley follow, and d/l and help where needed. but sorry, i cant do the rancor thing. anyways, this is a really great wip, keep up the superb work!

:O all hail the zann consortium!!!!!!!!! (love that game btw )

Looks fun!

Looks excellent. Keep up the great work!

whooohoo!!! love this map, and it seems its almost ready

some suggestions:
-give the pII dark trooper a rotary blaster with green blaster bolts (arc caster s**ks, and have you ever seen a DT in any other game with an arc caster?)
-give the pIII DT a powerful wrist blaster (RED) and wrist rocket launcher

Amazing work.

idk if u can do this but it would be more realistic to have the ewok slave be a animal trainer and the ewok be a recon droid with a sefdestruct.

yep its possible, really not that hard actually

Thank you so much for all of the support, guys. I'm happy to see everyone excited!

I would love to do that, but I don't have an animal trainer model. If I did, though, I would totally do it that way.

I'm still trying to work out the specifics with the Imperial units--there may be a few changes to the sides there yet. I may end up cutting out the PIII altogether (because it's too powerful) and put in a souped-up PII that is more like the ones we see in Forces of Corruption. That means that I need to come up with another unit for the Empire, though. I'm still playing with it, and I'll figure it out eventually.

Well if u need another empire unit u can try the PI. Just make in droid like and be really fast and carry some kind of small vibro blade or pike or somthing.

a reskinned magnaguard with vibrosword and block makes a pI dt
