First look, custom XGEN Star Wars map

Ok, here are a few preliminary shots of the map, still being debugged, but nearly complete. There a several secret sniping places, enough to drive the best snipers crazy, ie Jakhamr, Garlic, and Honcho


Changed the textures around some

more new textures and environmental lighting

new bridge sniping area, tough to get to the best place

re-vamped bump outs with super secret sniping areas to be posted later

elevator replacing classic ramp to get to first level off the floor, power up room to the left

lift on the other end also replacing traditional ramp

view from hidden snipers nest above the new bridge room

only exit from snipers nest



view below exit from hidden snipers nest

same spot, slightly lower

View out of sniping area, not hidden

Much more to follow!

hells to the yea dude!

holy shit

HOLY SHIT
wheres my graphics lol jk let me know if you want to add any or make custom ones:)

guys me and beast been tlking but need input ima use my vamp graphics logo sheild but need more advice on what it should look like for new map of starwars.

heres my site to see the sheild
www.vamp-graphics.com

btw beast see if you can sumhow inbed xgen in the map so that kat or any other clan steal it and say its theres.
like when it switches to our map a text shows up saying Map {Owned By XGeN Clan}
not our url tho cause if we get a site or change it it would be pointless lol

I like it a lot. Elevators are practical, good against spawn campers. More sniping areas, good. New texture makes sniping a lot harder now, which is also good.

This is going to be great. See if you can make it like ctf_star_wars, as you can see slightly white text saying who made the map at random intervals in ctf_star_wars.

Their are 3 ways to make the map undecompilable. If there is such a word. but only 1 is just about unhackable. (Requires extensive BSP knowledge to remove)

Beast, if you want i already have the MOTD Xgen logo custom texture. I can send the vmt and vtf file to you. I made both a 512x512 and 256x256 version.

I put the VG shield in the KB map last night.

Fyi, custom textures only work with pixels in multiples of 2. 16x16 64x64 256x256 128x128 etc etc etc.

nice

i forgot to mention you should save your logos as a TGA file.

true lol but i never think of it im so used to people want jpg lol

well, TGA is the only format you can use to VTEX new custom textures.

That will be one of the hottest map of starwars.If you start it , then plz without

to chance to others.

The first weeks only this map. All come in to see this new one.

It will be a fantastic time. Maybe it makes a lot of sense to chance from 16

to 20 players ? Only for the beginning, and later back to 16 ?

Hothothot

We are working on that now. That lock is what caused a major issue and it couldn't be loaded from the server. We are also checking out some buggy textures that are causing a serious drop in framerates. It could also be the environmental lighting too. We are sorting those issues out now. We want as playable a map as possible. My buddy is good, he'll get it figured out.

Gamerservers charges you per player slot. We'd have to pay for 4 more slots to run 20.... although, it is an idea... after all, SW is a big map. What you guys think? Is it still 50 cents per player slot?

Unfortunately, gameservers.com does not allow servers over 16 slots in HL2DM, so unfortunately, that is out of the question.

Wow, this looks insanely awesome . If you can pull this off without the lag it will definitely be my new favorite map...

ok 1st ill say wow best remake ever! im going to smoke some phat bowls and think of some ideas to through in the mix. my bro and i cant wait to play it

Cant' wait to to play it!!!

insanely amazing

awesome possum

lolz

Well, we had our first baptism of the new Star Wars map tonight. All in all I think it wen't well. My buddy got some good feed back. We adressed a few issues and I passed them along to my buddy. Hope fully he'll have them finished in the next day or two and we'll be up 100%.

awesome map man did u tell him bout logo idea?
cause not many will look up there lol
