!!!!!!! OMG. Awesome. Can you send that to me? I would like to film a small demo video on Xfire with that.

PS - Still working slowly on my portion of the mod, by the way. I probably won't get to the sides for awhile, though, since I'm concerned more about layout and overall flow of the map at the moment.

Woah that is epic. Reminds me of D-Day Airborne landings.

Indeed. Though I think that was the aim. However, it's awesome nonetheless!

Yes indeed I'll past this achievement to the team.

Another quick update. Added Militia 88mm fire. So MS 88's can be seen firing into the sky. We can use Noobs nice explosions for that.

Awesome! Slowly working on my map. We should have a airborne landing in the next version of the mod. You can play as a paratrooper (you don't take any fall damage).

I'm loving the Flak.

That flak looks awesome.
Ok ive got a question about Noobs custom effects. I cant see them from far away. I put smoke effects coming out of some speeders but I cant see them until im about five feet from the vehicle. My view range in game is at the max (99). Would I have to increase the view range in the .sky file?

Excellent job guys, so far.
I really like the look of your map Spartan.

I can't remember what line thought, but if you edit the effect file in note pad, you can increase the view range of the effect to be seen from far.

You can? How very interesting. I'll have to try that.

Indeed you can it's rather easy just edit the nearscenerange and farscenerange parameters to be larger in the sky file (except don't be rediculous with them it can cause stability issues and theres a certain point where if you zoom in with a sniper rifle the sky will turn black).

@Lephenix Thank you!
Im having trouble deciding what else to add for props so I added trees how do they look?
The hospital has wounded and is now a healing station. All you have to do is walk in and your healed at the same rate as the stock health droid

Wow, the tree's give a good touch. Liking what I'm seeing.

I believe in a world where, even with many skyscrapers, that there should be some touch of nature. I agree, Commander. The trees look great. Spartan, you are really outdoing yourself! Give yourself a pat on the back, good sir!

Nice job so far on the map Spartan.

Great job so far Spartan, this is looking even better then Blood Gulch, your halo map! 8)

Spartan you could play with lighting, at the moment it is too blue/green.

No shadows either.

He probably has shadows on off.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I might play with the lighting a little more and yes shadows are off. I lag with them on.

Well hello there everyone, It's been a while since I posted an update but I've been working hard on the map and I have some nice results to show you:



Unfortunately there was some error while uploading the atleast 9 other pictures. I don't quite have the patience to reupload them so I will leave you with this, this is by far the biggest difference from before.

The city has really gained some depth now along with various additions I've made the map is far closer to completion, but I still have a while to go on the city I haven't even begun barriers or even worse city props.

I am starting to imagine a massive assault now and Militia holding off the Republic from entrenched positions. Great work, Bob. Hopefully soon I will get an update out. RL preparations for Christmas have been hectic (despite us not really having a Christmas this year, really...). And tomorrow my mother is taking me to the car wash to apply for a part-time job there.

So yeah, hope to get some stuff out soon.

Well done bob lol. I know the feeling of uploading screenshots lol. I always resize me shots from 1024 to 700 for good fit.

But yea the holidays are here. Busy for alot of us. Got my christmas shopping done. Not much. Now the wrapping lol.

Anyways keep up the great work team. I thinking of doing the other town map to speed things up.

If you mean my map, don't worry, I'll be working on it over the next few weeks and it should be near completion by the end of my Christmas break. I have 11 days straight to work on it.
