Imperial Walkers On The North Ridge

[{xg}darthVADER]

greeting

here i am once again

sadly without an update

i havent worked on this map since the last update i posted
ive been playing starwars galaxies

also school has started again so i'll have less time to work on it

how ever expect an update within the week

darthALEX out

I have a question. You said you modified Duncan's AT-AT to have an appropriately powerful attack. I downloaded it from Duncan's site and spawned it in a game to give it a little test drive, and it also seemed to me that it was smaller than it should be. Do you think that's the case or am I going crazy? And if so, have you made it bigger?

[Zappa_0]

You cant have them the real size, because it would really slow the game down. So be happy with what you got.

[{xg}darthVADER]

JA has a limit for the size of the bones of a vehicle
if i made the model bigger the entire model wil go wrong restulting in gamecrash or a realy realy REALY ugly at-at and we dont want that now do we

thank you for your patianece

still the suggestion rule in this topic is still active

if you have anyhting that i havent told about yet or you would like to see in a battle of hoth map
feel free to post your suggestion here
my objective is to make a map that everyone wil enjoy because you get what you wanted in this map

[PR-0927]

Man, I wanna start beta testing, dude!! I'll be able to beta test very nicely a few days after Star Wars: Battlefront and the Star Wars Trilogy DVD's come out. I'll be getting a new, hyped-up computer!! AMD 64 3200, nVidia GeForce 6800 GT 256 MB RAM, 1024 MB RAM, 160 GB of free space...yeah, it's gonna PWN!!

All I want also is that the flying space isn't low, so you don't hit the "ceiling." It should be quite high, so you can do nose dives, and fire from above!! Once you reach the limit, it should send you back like in the Asteroids TFFA Mod.

Watch The Empire Strikes Back again, and notice that snowspeeders are vehicles that hug the ground pretty nicely.

[{xg}darthVADER]

correct
my map wil wil have on all sides of the map has a ship boundary that wil direct the snow speeder back in to the battle field
so dont worry

I know, yet maybe I want to fly high?

[{xg}darthVADER]

suprise suprise ive resumed my work on this map

what ive done so far ive added a way to get to the secondary control room
ive added a way to block that path
i'm in the process of completly redoing the trenches
and i'm adding details to the south hanger

expect some new screens within the next week

[{xg}darthVADER]

ok here i go talking to my self again
ive decided to make the northern hanger (one with falcon) correct size as it is in the movie
the one youve been seeing on screens is actualy twice as wide as the one from the movie
expect to see some screens up tomorow

[MadCow1989]

great idea but for now just a question wil this project be released within this month or next?

[{xg}darthVADER]

probably the end of this month

[{xg}darthVADER]

I like the look. The hangar cieling still looks a little bare (I just watched ESB, too, and I can't remember whether there was stuff on the cieling or it just faded into blackness). Also, the corridors could use a tiny bit more detail on the walls and cieling--little control panels and stuff, more pipes, wires, whatever. Add that and I'll think this map is on its way to greatness.

[{xg}darthVADER]

wel í wasent finished with the hanger jstu yet but if i add too much to the celing were gonna have the problem of flying into that when flying the snow speeder

[Zappa_0]

Looking good

[LightNinja]

Alex i beg you, please post the screenshots at www.imageshack.us

[{xg}darthVADER]

woops sorry but why if i may ask?

[MadCow1989]

the one you are you using gives that anoyying Or VIew This anyway and options its anoyying

[PR-0927]

{xg}darthVADER and I did a beta test yesterday, and it went well. The only problems were that the turrets shot everyone, and the ground disappeared when flying a Snow Speeder. Those errors will be fixed. Along, with some very minor ones. The map is freakin' large. The AT-AT's need to be fixed...the sounds are too quiet, the view is freakin' far away, and the lasers are barely visible. I can fix this, yet {xg}darthVADER shall be using KBell's new AT-AT, which will rock as much as Duncan_10158's. I could make the effects, sounds, etc., better for this map, too, if wanted.

The architecture is awesome as well. I am an awesome pilot in JA, yet I crashed so much, as I am not used to flying in JA, as I have been playing too much SWBF.

{xg}darthVADER made a sweet enormous hangar for the Rebel Gallofree Transports (being made by Hatrus).

Overall, this map roxxors!!

Heh, back to school now...(I'm in lunch).

[{xg}darthVADER]

ladies and not ladies
i present to you
the trenches



i know there's some lighting issues but i've olmost fixed them

[{xg}darthVADER]

ok here's a small update me and darthzappa are working together to create the outside terrain since i am a noob with easygen ect.

also expect to see a trailer soon made by zappa_0

[Thrawn42689]

Nice lighting.

The trenches should probably show up gradually, instead of cutting in like that. Also, I don't think they had little rims like that in the movie. Fun stuff, all the same.

[wedge2211]

They'd probably look better if you just built THEM into the EasyGen terrain...but what you've got looks like a pretty good jumping-off point.

[{xg}darthVADER]

trust me the new outside terain wil asount you with the trenches
it wil look good i promis

[Pahricida]

hell this is huge!
I just ask myself how long will it take you to get from the spawn right into the battle?

And how will you prevent everyone from using aircraft instead of infantry cause they are simply lazy and don't want to walk.

Other than that:

awesome

The hangar reminds me of Shadows of the Empire... except this one here has got way more detail, you can leave the hangar through the gate and there's not just snowspeeders all around.

Will resume playing siege for this one

[{xg}darthVADER]

Ladies and Gentlemen
boy's and girls of all ages
i present to you
The battle of hoth!











my compliments to darthZappa for the terain.

enjoy

[DarkLordTrooper]

I don't remember Master Chief being in the battle of Hoth...

Looks nice, except for a few small texture problems.

[Zappa_0]

I was fixing to say the same thing! Looking good, cant wait to do the trailer!

[MadCow1989]

i see Masterchief ended somewhere else up then Earth wit that Longhorn

anyways nice map is it a FPS killer?

[LightNinja]

i hope it will be easy to go out of the hangar with the ships

[wedge2211]

You still need to do something with the patches over the trenches. Snow doesn't do that. A smooth curve from the trench up to ground level, without the wierd bulbous thing, would look much better and more natural.

Also keep in mind that the snowfield in front of the Rebel base was far from deserted during the battle--they had all sorts of field equipment and weaponry out there.

[{xg}darthVADER]

the front of the base is not done
and i klinda like the pathes this way but well see what happans over the next few weeks
also ive gotten a cool idea and i'm redoing the interior hallway's
to be more true to the movie

[Zappa_0]

The older version I have plays great. You can get out of the hangers great and theres no FPS killers. Overall its gonna be great, cant wait to see the improvements.

[{xg}darthVADER]

the version you have still ahd the larger hanger i belive.
i kinda made it a little bit harder to get out of the hanger with the new size of the hanger.
but its still pretty easy for people who are good at flying
ive been considering adding a ship boundry so that you lift off and fly forward and automaticly turn the right way and fly out of the hanger but i want people who have some skill to play this map aswel and they might enjoy the latter more.

Official Trailer for Hoth Siege: http://www.pcgamemods.com/8420

[wedge2211]

Well, as to the trailer...Jerk-O-Vision "spectator" cinemtography and you love shots of walkers sitting in one spot shooting way too much. On the other hand, I liked seeing how the Raven-made AT-ST's footsteps don't sync with its motion while the modded AT-AT's do.

For the map--I still think the snowfield is empty, but that doesn't look so bad with the giant vehicles running around in it. The puffy things on the trench lips are still really really strange looking, and there were some wierd patch sparklies in that arched tunnel in the snow--little things that could really be improved easily. After watching ESB, there's also a lot of extra "stuff" on the hangar floor--and I hope there's more to this map than just the snowfield and the hangar!

Definitely some kudos for the falling walkway and landing shuttle--interactivity is a BIG plus.

This just needs a little more polishing.
