Re: Idea for the Endor ground and space maps

Drag, I remember you!  Hello big_smile

Anyway I thought I'd throw my two cents into this topic as I laboured on a Battle of Endor space map for the GC mod for a long time, and released it to mostly rave reviews.

I'd say separate the ground and space maps.  It just allows everything to be fully featured in each map.  In the space map, you have a massive space battle with many static capital ships and fighters spawning on both sides of the map.  The Imperial commander would have control of the anti-capital ship Superlaser and it would work like the artillary except with a long recharge rate.

You can create such a great atmosphere for the Battle of Endor by placing area SFX all around the map, as well as spawning random explosions around the map as vehicles.  Worked for me anyway.

I'm going to be working on this as a third party map once the base release of First Strike is done.

Re: Idea for the Endor ground and space maps

Ahhh, canadiens, I knew I recognized your sn.  I followed your progress on the endor map for a long time, never downloaded it though.  Could you post or pm me a link, I always wanted to try playing it.  Glad to see you found First Strike, this mod is gonna be great.

BTW xERO, any ideas on how to get more exposure for First Strike?  I'm love FS, but it seems that it could use some more advertising.

Well I was doing a bit of concept work for the Warp mod, but that seems to be on hold for a bit while (indefinetly?) they recruit a few select team members.

I'd be happy to contribute anything to FS, though.  That Battle of Endor map is a continuing labour of love for me, and I also had some plans drawn up for an underwater map taking place near/on Otha Gunga rollcool.  I'm just learning my way around the BF2 editor, specifically mapping and effects creation, currently.
