Dune Sea: Sunset Version 3.0 Released

[Jendo7]

This is a conversion of the classic BF1 map Tatooine: Dune Sea. I know there's already a very good version in the conversion pack, and that's why I've made it slightly different by changing the lighting, and sky to try and convey an evening setting. I've added all the usual vehicles and flyers that are in the stock set up, and also brought back the republic speederbikes that were in the first game as well as Lord Bandu's Sith Speeder. I was also bored with the stock Clone side and used DYFX Phase II white skin for the infantry and Jet Trooper. Updated version 3.0 includes support for Maveritchell's "Dark Times II: Rising Son" mod. This is most probably the final version. My next map will be of my own design

Outdated final version with the darker ground texture, that was here has been deleted.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Nice map! Good editions were made.

[Anakin]

you've catch the floor texture from Geonosis, don't you??

it looks a bit dark but not bad i like :maulsaber:

[Jendo7]

Thanks! The ground textures are the same as the stock Dune Sea, but I've only used 3 layers instead of 5. I think the problem is that BF1 uses a different lighting system to BF2, and the only way I could replicate the same shade of color was to copy over the tat1.wld file from BF1 to my world1 folder without saving it in BF2 zeroeditor first. The only problem was that doing it this way would take out the shadows that I initally put in.

[Anakin]

maybe you can get an realistical texture if you catch the one from Mos Eisley (BFII)

[Jendo7]

I tried that, but had no effect. I think the problem lies with the terrain file tat1.tga, which you can't change outside of the editor.

[Anakin]

maybe someone else know an answer post in the SWBF2 Modding thread.

[Jendo7]

OK, I feel a complete idiot, I've just figured out how to the lighten the terrain. I had to burn the terrain after putting the light colors all to 255. Found here: http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... =27&t=3915

[Anakin]

ok that doesn't say anything to me because i tried for one tiome to make my own map and ...... FAILED XD so the map is great as it is. it looks like evening on Tatooin

[Jendo7]

Thanks Anakin, you're too kind.

I may have improved it though... what do you think:

[Anakin]

much better

[Jendo7]

Result! I'll re-release it soon then. I've just got to do a bit more tweaking, and bug fixing.

[Anakin]

it will be realistical if you add Qui-Gon or the jung Obi-Wan as hero because Anakin was 7 when Darth Maul lifed

[Jendo7]

Good point, but the only problem is I'm using Phase II Clones, so I would have to change them to Phase I.


Edit: Thu Jul 22, 2010 7:34 am. Actually, now I think about it Darth maul wasn't at the time of Phase II Clones either. Now I'm in a pickle

Bah, who cares, Maul is a fun hero. I don't see why canonocity should matter for a simple round of conquest.

I haven't downloaded the map yet, but judging by your updated screenshots the finished product will be beautiful.

Or you only change Maul (what will be bad because there is his speeder) and say it's the time when Anakin comes back to tatooin to kill all Tusken

Thanks Eggman. I think I'll keep it as it is. Being canon is just too complicated.

As his speeder's there I'll be keeping him in, and Anakin in episode II is what I was thinking of, sort of.
Great minds think alike

[Anakin]

if you was thinking of Anakin in ep2 why doid you have added Maul? I think we stopp this now before we get a warning because of spaming XD

have you upload the new texture??

by the way Aayla and Quinlon Vos were on tatooin too in EP2 in an secreat Mission so they don't appear in the movie but hey were there

Hidden/Spoiler:

So you could add them, too and after this we all have to much mission because of all this tatooin maps

[Jendo7]

Anakin you kill me

Anyway, thing's are coming on really well. I've put the reinforcment count to 250 but I will reduce it if people would prefer less.

[Anakin]
