Star Wars Maps - Developers

May I ask where you acquired the textures for the first map?

Well actually, I believe all of the buildings are normal textures, while the stripes ETC are custom star wars textures from this thread [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=508659&page=3[/url] [editline]05:55PM[/editline] Got a new video up, if anyone cares to see the new map i'm working on

I honestly wasn't expecting all these positive thoughts, because I consider myself to be an amateur at mapping, really...

It's great to see Star Wars maps, I love them. Naboo looks a bit blocky though.

I just added that to the video so I could make the song last and not get cut off. Gunna completely remake Naboo so don't worry!

Awesome. Not all quite capture that star wars "feeling" that well though.

hmm, just a suggestion: is it possible to like rip maps from swbf and swbf2, then port them to source? it would save you some time, and if not, you should definitely use those games as sources for maps n what not.

Yeah, I have SWB2 so I could very easily go into that and just take screenshots and build from that... Good idea, i'm surprised I didn't think of it lol ._. And I have no idea how to rip anything from ANYTHING so that idea is out, for me at least..

I'll go take a look to see what the map format is over the weekend. I'll also port those models for you.

By taking the effort to make and release these maps you are showing initative. If you don't give up and keep on mapping you'll just get better and better and learn new skills along the way. It's very rewarding.

anyone think about Star wars DM ?

In the first couple pictures the sun seems to lack intensity. In the games, if I remember right, the sun felt really harsh and it reflected in a way to make everything seem lit even where there might otherwise have been shadows. I could be wrong though, I'm not the biggest star wars fan ever.

[QUOTE=RG4ORDR;19616810] PICTURE NOT SHOWING up will anyway can someone make the Star Forge from Kotor shit would be great[/QUOTE] Uhh, i can see it. And Shotgunguy, when you are getting those models, can you get a LAAT gunship model into some type of model format, like .3ds or .obj? I could use it for my maps for UT.

I can't see it :/ well someone who can make that it will be Kick ass

Also, ive been looking around for a bit. Looking for a SWBF2 model extractor. I have heaps of programs that can view the games .msh files, but where the hell do i get the .msh files from? Ive looked all over the place for them. Are they in the .lvls? I have an extractor for those too, and all they contain are tons of .dds files.

I don't have anything that can import .msh files. and yes, the model files are in the .lvl files. Oh, and here's a preview of that snowspeeder model I ported for you.

I have the Gunship model from Republic Commando, but the textures are screwed up on it. And is there a way to open .psk files on 3ds max? maybe that will help.

Lol I only just found this, but ehm, I just released a Star Destroyer map, that also features the main bridge... XD

[QUOTE=LordTrilobite;19896979]Lol I only just found this, but ehm, I just released a Star Destroyer map, that also features the main bridge... XD[/QUOTE] Is that supposed to make me not want to finish my map :o? I'm confused

Oh by all means, continue. Don't let me stop you. Though I plan to make more Star Wars themed maps, so perhaps you could pm me a list of the maps you're doing, so I don't make maps that have the exact same theme as yours, to avoid double maps. :P Here's the thread to my map btw, in case you're interested to see it. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?p=19896811[/url] Btw, that tatooine map looks really good, Naboo seems nice too, but shows a little too much tiling.

hmm to the OP: look at LordTrilobite's Star Destroyer map, and see what you can A) improve B) add C) add more to beat out his map lol

Updated the OP with a brand new project.

I saw that movie today on Spike. Was awesome. Keep up the good work.
