Abyssissa *WIP*

[Alpha]

I'm taking a break from the Firefly maps that I was making to make a solely Star Wars Map. This takes place on the planet Abyssissa, a snowy planet much contrary to the other major planet in its system, Geonosis.

Clone Wars Story:
The Confederacy has holed up in a fortress on Abyssissa ready to take what the Republic can throw at them. Aided by Asajj Ventress and new CIS technology, they plan to stop the Republic's 9th Division lead by Quinlan Vos, recently back from his role as a spy for the Republic.

Galactic Civil War Story:
Kyle Katarn has accopanied the Rebel Forces into the planet Abyssissa to work with extracting CIS technology from a former stronghold of the Separatists. Unbeknowest to the Rebellion, the new prodegie of the Empire, Thrawn has arrived to spoil the Rebels' excavation of the fortress. The unprepared Rebels are forced to use the decades old CIS technology to combat Thrawn's forces.

Note:
The 1.7.5 Pack is required for this map to work along with the rep9th.lvl file that came with the pack.

Diet Dr. Pepper. That looks great man. Especially the Quinlan Vos skin. Lookin good.


Can't wait to see more of the GCW era though..

[Alpha]

Teancum made the Qunlan Vos skin. I think, it's just the one from the pack. I'm looking forward to the GCW era version myself. I plan to put some interesting stuff in there.

[Rekubot]

Wow, just wow. The problem with using units or vehicles from the BF1 Conversion Pack is that you can't change them whatsoever, so if you start editing the sides like crazy then the units from the pack will be really out of place. At any rate, I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. Good job!

[Pereza0]

Cool, but I'm interested in Firefly too... Hope it comes out soon.

[Alpha]

Firefly will come out soon, but it's secondary. And Rekubot, I agree, but the skins for the Republic just fit perfectly with what I wanted to do. I may want to redo Quinlan's robes at some point however.

[Dohnutt]

Wow, I love the skin in the 2nd screenie you got there! And Quinlan Vos looks amazing as well!

[Rekubot]

I may want to redo Quinlan's robes at some point however.

And that's exactly the problem; you can't. You would need the ODF, MSH, TGA and COMBO files for it to work, and Teancum doesn't want that. (I can totally understand why as well; too many um... inexperienced newcomers spoiling that which took so much hard work to create.)

[Alpha]

I know it won't work, but I can dream can't I? Technically, I wouldn't need the ODF, by the way. I could make a new one with the MSH, TGA, and combo. But, I'll just take what I can get, I might use Drallig because he might look better in the environment. Vehicles and water are in as well, by the way. You will get to use the CIS Cydon and Scarab. Stay tuned for more, and I'll probably upload some more of the screenshots I have later.

This one I almost got perfectly:

The clone was in a trench with the Scarab (me) coming down toward him and he looked straight at me.

Edit: It's looking like Corran Horn is going to lead the Rebels, because the three Kyle Katarns in the 1.7.6 pack have weapons problems.

[Dohnutt]

Wow, you really know how to take a good screenshot! This map looks beautiful

[Alpha]

I love taking screenshots. And I have reskinned all the buildings to look like they belong and am working on adding command walkers for the republic/imperials. I'm also testing everytime I add something so the balance is kept.

I love this shot, too, by the way:

[RevanSithLord]

That's looking awesome. Wow. lol.

I can't wait, Alpha!

Hey, question: What will the unit count look like when the map comes out? Cause I'm all out for huge battles.

[Thire]

You know, I haven't downloaded any maps in a while, but this, this has convinced me other wise!

It looks great so far!!!!

[Alpha]

@Revan

The unit count will be high for the big battle

@Thire

Glad to know!

[RevanSithLord]

Muhahahaha. I bet you all I'll make a huge Gametoast community video with all these awesome maps.

Hey Alpha...need a tester? lol :p

I'm really experienced. Just showing my quality. :p

Sorry, that was rude to ask that, but the question still stands lol

[Alpha]

Lol. I don't think I'll release this privately. I think a public beta.
