Rising Son wants you!

Post by Maveritchell »

So that it is not lost in the clutter of other posts, please keep in mind that I would love to collaborate with anyone who feels that they can make a solid, well-polished map.

My only stipulations would be:
-Canonical location (This just means that you need to find a planet on Wookieepedia that "fits" your map.)
-Degree of polish (It doesn't have to look professionally done, but I would want to see a fairly bug-free map with good work on the details.)
-Strong theme (Needs to feel unique. Can't just be an assorted mishmash of props; has to feel like a single place.)

I might jump on board. I'm making a smaller, more close knit Raxus Prime for the Xbox. I'll send post screens later on if you're interested. I won't be offended if you end up not needing it, but it'll be there for you if you like it.

I'd love to contribute -- I've recently had some ideas for a couple of maps swimming around in my head. I can find some canon locations that fit them.

If you guys have some maps you'd like to share, just PM me some pictures and I'll let you know. Thanks!

I would also love to help you, Mav.

Just tell me which map you want and let me do my work. :P

That's not the way it works - I don't want assembly drones who make what I ask, I want creative mappers whose maps I can use. If you have a map and if it falls into the above criteria, then shoot me a PM. Thanks!

That would mean it has to have good gameplay, too, I assume?

I've never released a good map, but I have made a couple of attempts. I know the ins and outs of most of ZE and ODF's. I might give this a whole-hearted attempt. *Goes to Wookiepedia for phase 1 of project.*

I might jump on board as well. I already have an idea but I can't map at the current point, because my computer still needs to be redone.

I'm still a novice, Nova, don't expect any super-awesome-spectacular map from me. :wink:

Is there any paticular date you need maps to be submitted by?

ASAP. I don't have any sort of chronological plans, but the sooner you get one done means two things:
1) The better likelihood it has of being included
2) The more I get to work on it (which means the more material it will have for it)

Yeah, I got to take my name off the list. My grades are suffering, so I have to put more effort into school, and that means taking time away from this.

When we send our maps to you, do you want all the source files, just the world folder + scripts, just the .lvls from the addon folder...? My map is basically finished, I was just going to add in a CTF mode and change the loadscreen before I hand it off to you. :)

It would probably be easiest for me if you sent over the data_MODID folder just zipped up. You don't need to add either CTF or worry too much about the loadscreen before you send it over but you are welcome to.

Cool, in that case I'll probably have it ready for you this afternoon.

You are also welcome to make a topic for it as it is your map (which is what I'd like protocol to be for anyone submitting a map so that their name is associated with it). I'll make updates to it in the same topic but it's only fair that you should get to show it off first.

Should we make map threads in this forum or the WIP?

If the map's for Dark Times, then it should be in here. It should only go in here, though, if I've already confirmed it will be in (I mentioned it now because I've already played Eggman's version of his map and I know it'll be in).
