Just to let you know I didn't get back on because my Computer has a virus that just keeps opening internet windows and tabs that don't end. So i might have to system restore.

It's OK, I understand. Just try not to lose TOO much work, k?

I'm not going to. I'm just going to back up my music and 3ds files.
(Unless I get my virus crap to work. It actually caused me to go into a blue screen, but it's scanning right now.)

lol, how did you die?

A rocket launcher used at close range isn't good for my health.

Speaking of rocket launcher...

Not quite done yet. There was still a lot of work to be done on it, but I don't have the model on me right now to finish it. More pictures as soon as I can get its file off of my other computer.

Here is a link to a map I've been working on called Tie Hanger. It's low quality because I didn't want to open fraps so I just used Xfire.

Needs more random tie fighters, ships, crates, repair docks and stuff for gameplay.

Made me lol.

As for the bsp, looks pretty good. Good work, keep it up :D.

I know, that was a just a test to see if it can successfully go through tool. Jay has a tie model (need to make it into a scenery) in which will be in the big slots in the wall. There will be a crashed rebel ship in the middle and of course boxes that I haven't modeled yet. Also those aren't the textures that are going to be used we will have custom ones and a shiny floor.

Good, because those textures don't look very good. Also, in some parts it looks like the lightmaps screwed up, you should fix that.

Also, that TIE Hangar now has a name:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Arc_Hammer

As the Arc Hammer is a factory ship for the Empire's Dark Trooper project, you can expect to see quite a few Dark Trooper Phase IIs and their weapon, the Assault Cannon, on the ship.

And no, they aren't AI.

For up-to-date details on weapon power and statistics, check the first post.

Also:
FC-1 Flechette Launcher:


The round thing is NOT a scope, rather a flashlight/laser targeting system.

PLX-2M missile launcher:

That features a holographic readout for the ammo count as well, similar to the flamer's.

Okay, so people have been telling me that the Tie Hangar isn't a good map because of it's textures. Hello people, I never said it was finished. the video is more of an Alpha than a beta. I mainly slapped a random texture and lights to see if it had any errors and if it can get past tool. That's it. I never said I was finished with it. I'm going to retexture the map with better ones.

Wow very nice.

Texturized. I decided to try a new style to get realistic scratches on the bitmap, implementing what I guess you can call a "grunge" style effect. It was meant for something completely different, but I think it turned out nicely.

Latest render of the map I showed awhile ago called "SWMT_Ark_Hammer AKA Tie Hangar". Like I said when I modeled the map, those textures weren't final.




Credit goes to Jay for doing a great job at making the textures and texturing the map itself. He not finished obviously but also plans to add some sweet things to the map so stay tuned.

May the force be with you G!

Extremely Nice, I love Star Wars, that's classic.

Add TIEs hanging on the top.

Thanks, both Jay and I agreed that we both want to have at least 5 maps done before we start releasing them. He is working on Tantive IV and I'm going to begin modeling Hoth.



We plan to. If you read a couple posts up I said we were going to have the hanging on the roof and we might have a fallen Tie in the middle of the map to take up some space.

There are TIEs, but they're scenery.

Ah. My bad. Then, keep it up :)

:( why? it would be cool to drive them

Because it's not a map where you fly them. It's inside a hangar. We will put the Tie Fighters Flyable in a different map.

Do I animate the tie fighter :D?

Hell, send me the Stormie when you're done and I'll pass over the TIE fighter.

Oh, and an X-Wing, too, if you're up to it.
I already animated the X-Wing, but it doesn't work, sadly. =[

ok it's like SWBF2 death star

I haven't played Battle Front 2 in a while so if it's a map where you don't fly any vehicles then yes.

Kyle here.
I've managed to get to the source of those... things that destroyed our base on Talay. They're called "Dark Troopers", robotic Stormtroopers commissioned as a secret Imperial project. I have managed to infiltrate their secret construction facility, a Star Destroyer called the Arc Hammer. I'm going to do what I can to shut this place down for good.
I've provided some pictures for intel. They're of a hangar bay which can be used as an infiltration point in case my plan fails.
Which it won't.

I can has beta?

Great job man! What's with the color of the floor though? Shouldn't it be black?

if you're a star wars fan you should play this game! It's 1 of the best star wars games ever!

the textures of the map are awesome!

That would look forerunner if you change the textures :P

Also, I finished the stormtrooper rig.

whats with the grey lines on the wings of the tie fighters? they should look like this:
they are there, but they're no way as thick as you've done them

The textures look nice, especially the metal wall. And yeah, the tie fighter wings do look strange.

Thats tight, the textures are sweet

i do like the textures, I'm just saying it would be a lot more realistic and better if he were to make those lines a lot less thick
