Old Republic map pack Wip [Makeb released]

Post by ZoomV »

I'm reworking this thread to become the ongoing WIP thread for my TOR maps.

MAKEB - PROGRESS
Needs a lot of retexturing, but I'm still working on the layout.

The original post.
Hidden/Spoiler:
Treefall


Treefall will be the second old republic map with the first being Belsavis: Icebound. When I started working on the design I wanted to try to stay away from the stalematedness that plagued Icebound. I also wanted to experiment with large changes in terrain height. With Treefall I believe I have achieved both, although I am still working on the visual aspects of the map.

Update 2/16
Gameplay Trailer is now available.


Old Republic Map pack part 1 has now been released


Note as mentioned in the Icebound thread this map will be released in a pack with Icebound 2.0.

This looks great! I am glad to see more of the Old Republic maps. :thumbs: . Will the other side have a sith warrior unlockable by points? As seen in the trailer?

Are you planning to add snowy mountains in the background? About time someone made a map based on the "Hope" trailer (I'm assuming)! :)

TBH I don't expect "random junk" (such as the rusty tunnel) lying around Alderaanian forests. Anyway, looks good otherwise! Care to share more on the layout?

That "rusty tunnel" is the hollowed tree from Endor.

My bad, then. I thought it's an asset from TCW (an old rusty tunnel).

Haha. It's fine. I could see how you thought that. :D

It based on both the trailer and the appearance of Alderaan in SWTOR itself.

I would like to, but I don't have modeling capabilities and my own GIMP skills are not up to my own standards so its been problematic. I vaguely remember someone else doing some mountain backgrounds that looked great, but I cannot remember where I saw that.

My biggest aesthetic concern right now is the cliffs in the actual playing zone. The current ones are cobbled together from endor and tatooine rocks, and look awful. Unfortunately I can't find any boulder assets that seem close to the reference pics.

Lighting is a big pain too, right now its excessively green, and finding the right balance is proving a total pain. I'm also having foliage difficulties. I'm using the naboo: plains foliage from BF1 since that grass was the closest I could find to what you see in the pics. However the naboo grass has some issues

Circles denote command posts. Red is Empire start, Blue is Republic start.

As standard unit? No, definitely not. Force user classes are nearly impossible to balance as a unit as they tend to be either way overpowered or seriously underpowered. Besides I already have 7 different units. (the 4 standard units plus 3 asymmetric specials) I am considering putting Jedi and Sith in as the hero class, however I will need to find suitable models for that.

Regarding the Naboo grass, use this code in the PRP file:

Code: Select all

Layer(0)
{
    SpreadFactor(0.5);
	Mesh()
	{
		GrassPatch("nab1_grass_close.odf", 30);
		File("editor_grasspatch_small.msh", 30);
		Frequency(100);
		Scale(1);
		Stiffness(0.0);
	        ColorVariation(0.1);
	        AIVisibilityFactor(0.75,0.9);
		CollisionSound("foliage_collision");
	}
}
This code in nab1_grass_close.odf:

Code: Select all

[GameObjectClass]		

ClassLabel		=	"grasspatch"
GeometryName	=	"editor_grasspatch_small.msh"


[Properties]		

MinSize = "1.3"
MaxSize = "1.5"
Alpha = "0.8"
NumParticles = "30"
MaxDistance = "40"
Texture = "nab1_grass"
NumParts = "6"
RadiusFadeMin = "3.4"
RadiusFadeMax = "3.5"
YOffset = "0.0"

DarknessMin = "0.5"
DarknessMax = "1.0"

FlatHeight = "0.2 0.3"
FlatSizeMultiplier = "1.7"
FlatFaceFactor = "0.22"

FlatCount = "2"
MaxSkew = "0.5"
SkinnyFactor = "0.6"
And these meshes and textures: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/384 ... 1_grass.7z

Is it possible to change the era names on the map select screen? I.E change Galactic Civil War to Great Galactic War

Also I finally got the faction balanced out. Or at least I think so since I lose every match regardless of faction. :?

have a look at the tree structure of the localize tool. There you can rename the era sides. There is an tutorial about how to rename an local side. It's simular to that.

I tried that awhile ago with Icebound and despite renaming every single reference to Galactic Civil War, it still comes up as GCW on map select

But what have you changed?? and what do you want to change.
go to common.sides.all.longname/name/name_m to change the sides name
go to common.era.gcw/gcw_indent to change the era name

He's not trying to change the faction names. He's trying to change the era name on the Instant Action screen. To do that, the 1.3 patch documentation called Change an Era's and Game Mode's Name or Icon or Description will show you how. I don't advise changing the stock GCW era name, though, since it might cause all other maps with that era to use the new name.

Ah, I don't even have 1.3 installed. Is there any major reason to get it other than era naming?

Many. :P

* Compatable with the SWBF1 Conversion pack
* Supports unlimited new eras (only 5 can be displayed per map)

* Supports up to 11 custom Galactic Conquest campaigns
* Supports over 158 FakeConsole commands and displays their descriptions
* Includes player tracking, player teleporting, and causing the AI to follow certain players
* Replaces the (now outdated) mods: v1.2 patch, FC Mod, Era Shell, FreeCam, FakeConsole
* Allows disabling the award effects (just the graphical and sound parts, you still get their bonuses)
* Supports map preview videos
* Compatable with mod maps
* Extends and expands the cheat menu to MP
* Supports no-namer booting (non-server admins can boot them too)
* Allows you to become a no-namer without changing your profile
* Supports custom FakeConsole command by map modders
* Displays warning if over the game's 500 mission limit
* Allows Free Camera
* Allows directly setting the displayed side selection names (for modders)
* Supports custom map colors (can be removed from the menu)
* Has v1.2's new player models (can be removed from the menu)
* Has v1.2's new weapon models (can be removed from the menu)
* Has v1.2's BF1 cockpits (can be removed from the menu)
* Has v1.2's new HUD (can be removed from the menu)

FakeConsole:
* A correctly executed command turns light blue
* An errored command turns pink

Added Shortcut Keys:
* Close the FakeConsole list: 'Esc'
* Cancel (no) the prompt pop-up: 'Esc'
* Accept (yes) the prompt pop-up: 'Enter'
* Close team stats screen: 'l' (lowercase L)
* Select the team selection's auto-assign button: 'a'
* Select the team selection's auto-assign button: 'A'
* Select the team selection's team 1 button: '1'
* Select the team selection's team 2 button: '2'

Keys To Control FreeCam:
[Home] - Move camera up
[End] - Move camera down
[M] - Pause/Unpause the game
[Backspace] - Pause/Unpause the game
[+] - Speed up
[-] - Slow down

Keys To Control the FakeConsole list:
[Up] - Move the selection up one element
[Down] - Move the selection down one element
[Page Up] - Move the selection up 19 elements (one page)
[Page Down] - Move the selection down 19 elements (one page)
[Escape] - Close the FakeConsole list

Crashing Issues:
* Misuse of the FakeConsole commands may result in crashes
* Filling the cheatbox with spaces makes the game crash. I don't have a clue why...
* Galactic Conquest's Versus is completely untested (but should work...)
* Displays a warning if you have over 500 missions (The original game can only handle 500 modded missions. It crashes with FATAL when attempting to play a mission after about the first 500)

This project looks really good. I've always wanted to see a map based on any of the SWTOR trailers too, and this certainly looks like it will exceed expectations. Keep it up!
