[Darth-Derkie]

Here's someone who released the Geonosis: Spire too:

Well, that's not his map, it's mine. I'm darthderkie on those forums.

[squipple]

Hah, Real nice. Someone trying to take credit for your work? Imposters!

Keep up the good work Derkie, I'll try out your new version tonight.

[TAWArtemis]

Yeah...

1-flag is always set up so that the flag is in a location an equal distance from both goals, and your team spawns near the other team's goal. That way it makes it difficult to try to score because you have to get through the other team's troops (or try to sneak around them) to score.

2-flag is set up so that your team's spawn and goal are in the same area, but the flag you need to get is located in the other team's goal. That way, not only do you need to fight the other team to collect your flag, but you have to get out alive to bring it back to your goal.

Explaining it can be confusing, yes. You're right, it's best to just go play them and see how they work. Not all maps have both (I think it's one or the other), but since we can it'll be cool to make our maps have all modes.

FYI - someone (a TAW member) released yavin 4's temple on the lucas forums. I've yet to check it out, but maybe they've figured out some of the issues you're having. Might be a good resource.

Keep up the awesome work Tean!

Hello everyone,

I want to explain that I did not know there was another person working on this MAP. I wanted to play it in SWBF2, and I wanted Hero mode so I made it. It took a little while to get the vehicles fixed and the layers reconfigured from the original, but it came out nice.

I made it for the TAW guys I play with, they apparently posted it on LucasArts, I added the link to Gametoast this morning becuase of the positive feedback not knowing that this thread was here.

If anyone wants to colaborate on this stuff feel free to contact me. I was not trying to take anything over with the release.

FYI - lower detail emliminates the black ground on most of the MOD maps I have seen. Including mine.

Hey ya, Tean, sorry for off-topic, but tell Psyh0fred I said HI!

Anyway, keep up the great work! I hope to work at Pandemic someday, set them straight with some stuff lol.

Asajj is in..sweet! Is the link on your first post updated with these changes?

[Teancum]

Nope. The next release will be 1.0, so it's gonna be a few weeks at least.

[Leviathan]

Teancum, you've precised that a "dummy" Kit Fisto mesh might be used in upcoming releases of your "Yavin IV : Arena" level... Might I know on which existing Star Wars Battlefront II or Star Wars : Jedi Knight model it will be based on ?...

[Teancum]

Actually, the dummy Kit Fisto is just a regular Jedi from the JED side, set up so that when/if I ever get the Kit Fisto mesh, I can literally just drop the model in and be good to go. Sorry for the confusion.

[Leviathan]

You do not have to be sorry, Tean'...
However, might I suggest porting this Star Wars Jedi Knight II : Jedi Outcast model into Star Wars Battlefront II, as for NeoMarz "Asajj Ventress" playable character?...

[Teancum]

Good suggestion! She's already in, and it's Neomarz's model. I'm not as fond of the Jedi Outcast Kit Fisto model, and would like the BF2 version, but if we never get it from XBox, we'll do Toonces' JO Kit Fisto.

Just FYI for all -- even if Pandemic releases Asajj Ventress, I'm keeping this one in Yavin because the model doesn't suck, and neither does the weapon. (What were they thinking? Lightsaber nunchucks???)

[Assasin_Clone]

The version for download has no ventress? why?

[Teancum]

Because it was released before I put Asajj Ventress into the map.

[Gunjak]

hey teancum, how do u get rid of the black terrain at the border of the map

[Teancum]

I added a light in the center of the map, and called it sun... then I just adjusted teh light as needed, then clicked 'image' -> 'burn terrain' to fix the terrain problems

[Gunjak]

bah no thats not what i mean.
if u create a new map u will see the border of the lvl is black, how do i change it?

[Teancum]

New version released. Visit first post for info and a link.

[SWShellhound]

more save files, why do they have to screw up on my comp, why?

[Ipodzanyman]

It says download header is broken? Help, do not know what to do. Do I have to use winzip?I'm using Winace....
