Mimban: Imperial Defense

Post by kiprobin »

The swamp planet Mimban has decided to resist Imperial conquest and now faces the might of the Imperial Army and the 224th Imperial Armored Division. Unbeknownst to the Empire, however, the Mimbanese Liberation Army has recruited the assistance of the Rebel Alliance. Faced with an embarrassing defeat, theEmpire must hold its ground until reinforcements arrive to push back the insurrectionists.

Welcome to this, my fifth map in my Trench War map series. This time we travel to Mimban, the trench ridden battlefield seen in Solo: a Star Wars Story. As far as I know, it is the first time someone has attempted it in SWBF2. Gameplay vid: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noF38ubi83s[/youtube]

After this I'm going to update Lothal using my new found side editing skills, as well as some other stuff. After that, you get to decide what's next. Below is a link to a google poll where you can vote on what map you want to see. The choices are Lah'mu, Thule, and Jedha.

Google poll: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1SF1ozy ... 1nBvo/edit

Key features:

-Custom Sides (yes yes yes I know the swamptroopers don't look movie accurate but it's my first time side editing ok?), including custom units, weapons, and some sounds

-Custom Vehicles

-Play as swamptrooper Han fighting on behalf of the Empire, or as the Mimbanese Liberation Army and the liberated Chewbacca opposing them

Known bugs:

-some flickering objects, including athaulers. most likely due to high object count, so no much i can do

-there are still floating weapon icons for the rebels side. I fixed them for the empire, but it didnt work for rebels. maybe I'll go back and fix later, maybe not, idk)

-ywing turret sounds as always

-if you spawn in at the kwing, you sometimes get trapped under the wing. you can easily escape by entering then exiting the kwing, and while the ai will get stuck there for a while, they'll eventually escape unharmed when the kwing takes off

-some ai, especially imperials, sometimes just stand there and do nothing. i tried optimizing planning, to no avail, but rest assured that there are still plenty of active ai for an intense battle

-based on the feedback i received from Lothal, i suspect this doesnt work with Harrisonfog's side mod. I havent tested it, but i would be very surprised if it didnt cause a crash

As always, I will release all the custom assets that I personally made later on today. Also, the credits are quite long this time, so if by chance I missed someone, please let me know so I can immediately fix it
