Star Wars Map ideas

Well, I've attempted many times to create a Star Wars-based map for BF, but to no avail. It isn't at all like making JKA maps. So instead, I have turned to all of you great mappers that have mastered it.

Here's some of my ideas that perhaps someone may take a liking to and make (all or most of these can be found in the Star Wars Databanks):

- Hypori: Wastelands - Geonosis-like battlefield of an unihabited planet where one Geonosian hive fled to to continue battle droid production. The battlefield is marked with large amounts of debris, mainly from Republic Cruisers and Gunships. This was the setting of Clone Wars Chapter 20 (The General Grievous Episode). I had pictured it as having a geonosian sky, but with only republic cruisers flying overhead, and the vehicles would include the gunship, at-te and speeders, as well as CIS vehicles I had yet to decide.

- Ilum - Another Hoth-like planet from the Yoda episodes of the Clone Wars Micro-Series. It's basically like hoth, exept more mountainous, harder snowfall, and caves with lightsaber crystals inside.

- My other harder ideas included other Clone Wars locations, such as the Dantooine Plains, Muunilinst, Mon Calimari, Rattatak, Raxus Prime and Jabiim, as well as other EU places such as Ord Mantell, Nar Shadda, Coruscant, and possibly even some locations from KOTOR.

What I've seen thus far map-wise is amazing. I really hope that someone will use my ideas and modify or change them in whatever way they want to add to the BF community. As is obvious from my descriptions, I had started Hypori, but I really didn't understand what to do, and am happy with just being a bystander in BF, since I'm already doing skins and maps for JKA and EF. Of course, I'll understand if no one wants to make any of these, but it would be great to have some of the lesser-known EU locations.

Thanks.

Yes, this is what I need. I am in process of finishing Tynna world as well as Dantooine (you can download them both here). So, in a week or so, I will be looking for new map idea/new planet. Thank you for info.

No problem. I love giving ideas, since I'm a big SW fan, and I like to imagine these games in various locations other than standard movie ones.

BTW, Eddie, I really enjoy your maps. Our new clan favorite is your Dantooine map.

Wow, Tynna is awesome! It's a great battlefield and I especially like that it isn't like any other map out there. Is that a made-up place, or is it from the EU?

No, it is not made up, it is turist planet, rich with natural resources...

hey alright i have a good map idea, its a trench warefare map with each sides getting trenches. one teams trenches are not big and are not very deep because this team must evade and capture the other teams command points [trenches]. so the team on defense has lets say 2 command points in the trenches and one command point at the frontline. the attacking team must take over the other teams trenches to win. the defending team has lots of guns and cannans to defend them selfs with and the attacking team doesnt have much because there the onces on the offence. i am currently studding world war one and find that this era would make a brilliant sw bf map if u want more details just ask

Yeah Dathomir would make great a map. If you need reference pictures I have some screenies from when I played SWG.

OK I posted 11 of em here http://photobucket.com/albums/v200/mr_mookey/SWG/.

Not the best but it should help. Also you can go to my website http://www.mookey.tk/ and I should have a few pics in the SWG section.

You first set of pictures are dark. Can this be a theme? Another ones are more coulorfull, brownish?

Some ideas with thoses trenches can be also implemented.

I need some time to concept the new map. Dathomir as name sounds realy good. How do you guys see it: as dark, brown, rain, sun, hills, flat, lakes, send....

As for fighting scene, lakes, hills, moutains, tranches....

The way SWG shows Dathomir, is as a dark hilly land. Some area's do have a brighter look, The Plains (brownish) and Grasslands (green), but the overall look would be dark and hilly. Also there are gnarled trees and scattered nightsisters camps throughout the landscape.

If you need more/better reference pictures, I'll be logging onto my friends account on the 8th and I can take some more, if you'd like.

That is fine for now. I will be looking for some textures for it and I will test them and post screens here so you guys can comment.
