[Roman Legion]

Hello? Anyone here? Well, in case you guys didn't know, NavyDawg has been especially nice lately, with his X-wing, TIE, Jedi and smuggler. Hopefully I can convince him to do the Rebel Trooper or something, .

In other news, I found another little models site, Nixon's Models. It has a few good models, namely the Assault Gunboat and Ig-88, .

Just viewing the site, and it came to my mind there can be a capture the princess version of the MOD with the carbonite han solo as the princess...

 

[odintheking]

That would be cool for the Galactic Civil war mod, especially with NavyDawg's new Han Solo unit, .
Speaking of NavyDawg, he linked me to another great site, with alot of Star Wars Poser stuff: Vanishing Point. Alot of good stuff there, I'll be making some of it.

 

[polyphemus]

Oh, WOW, that site is pretty cool! Ill be checking it out...

 

[polyphemus]

You might want to recheck some of the links on the first page, many of them don't work anymore...

 

[odintheking]

Will do .

I am beginning to work on a clone Wars Mod and was wondering. What is the Ideal map size for this Mod? (I want to include the entire Star Wars Galaxy and have room for about five or so squares of land for each planet to facilitate land battles)

 

[odintheking]

Hey there. We were planning to do GCW and CW mods after the main mod, but seeing as how I'm pretty much the only one still active in this mod, that doesn't seem like it's gonna happen. But I'm glad you're making one, .

For the main mod, I'm making most planets 3x3, although there are a few big planets that are 5x5, and moons and stuff that are 1x1. I think a big map would be nice, although not too big since there are only 2 civs (I assume) if you hold off a couple of weeks for release, I'm going to be making a clone trooper, and Dooku, too.

 

[sum_aar_jam]

How about the whole map size? Should it be 250*250, 365*365, etc. I plan on making the Hutts have their own territory (they weren't part of the Republic during the Clone Wars) and I think it would be cool to have a civilization of gangsters, bounty hunters, pirates, and downright "scum and villainy"

 

[odintheking]

Sounds badass, . That would be really cool, like a space pirate civ. Could use the smuggler, Boba Fett and maybe even the generic alien dude NavyDawg made. If you're going to have like 6 civs, I'd go with... 250x250 or bigger. I'm not sure. Just try what you think works and see. You don't want a map so big you'll never find another civ, but you don't want to be so small you're on the same square as them when you start. I would like that map however, when you're finished, .

I just spent the last three hours organizing the units for the Galatic Republic. I only need the Venator class star destoryer and the Eta-2 Actis Interceptors for he Republic. Tomorrow I'll spend time on the Confederacy and the Hutts.

I'll go with the 250*250 size map. Here's an awesome website containing an Atlas of the SW Galaxy http://starwarsatlas.uw.hu/

Odin,
If you don't mind my asking, what terrain set are you using? Thanks.

 

[Flamand]

I'm not sure what you have in mind, but I made a solar system terrain a while ago. Maybe you can use it for ideas?

[odintheking]

Thanks Flamand, but your terrain is more individual planets, while we want giant 3x3 or 5x5 planets for huge land battles. As of now, I'm using Lukree's terrain (preview here, downloadable file here). For all intents and purposes, it works relatively well for what I'm attempting. It's not perfect, but it works. I plan to make my own, more realistic version eventually, but for now it works, . It looks relatively realistic when you keep squares, like 1x1 or 3x3. Otherwise it looks a bit funky.

BTW, here you can find a replacement for marshes as open water, for planet seas or water planets.

I was searching for sounds for some units and I came across this site: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Station/3615/sounds.htm

It might be useful to some unit creators...

 

[Logitech]

Is anyone doing the AT-AT, or has done it? I can work on that if no one else will.

PS:New to unit making, so don't ask me to do huminoid units right now.

 

[odintheking]

Logitech, I could do an AT-AT in the future (waaaay in the future) but if you could do it, that would be great. What program do you use?

 

[polyphemus]

Hey Odin: I've tried that lighting thing but for some reason I can't find a way for the light not to interfere with the shadow of the speeder....

 

[Stormrage]

Let the AT-AT`s roam free!

EDIT: Oh, crap. It doesn`t work. Quote this to get the image link, its quite funny
