This is something Marth and I have observed as well.

I know, right?! And I didn't even try, I'm boggled.

Thank you very much!

Ehhhh....I dunno, that would seem a bit silly, and I can't really adjust the south exit because it doesn't really fit anywhere else.

Hmm, I can kind of visualize what you are saying. You mean kind of similar to what the Imperial Pilot has with the oxygen tubes and such?
Yes, I meant that. A helmet with breathing tubes and a visor, very similar to the already existing clone pilot helmet.

When I chose this map's vehicles I figured it would feel a little too much like Geonosis if I had the exact same vehicles but I could actually change up the Hailfire droid a bit, give it a new, more Luna-like skin, probably change out the rotary gun for something else, etc.
This sounds good.

The problem with that is the one in the picture is kind of small and more difficult to edit in and it just probably wouldn't look very good, but I'll still try it.
Well, it's not a big issue, and again, just personal preference. The earth you have on the currents sky is already good.

But TIE Maulers are used by the Imperials.
Well, I guess that I'm just used to play with the Tie Crawler in the convopack Tatooine Dune Sea. However, I have to say that the Hovernaut that you've used in the 0.8b version is very nice and a good substitute to the AT-TE.

Also, I noticed a bug when you play with CIS. When you start the battle, you find that all your snail tanks are destroyed. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/abc89 ... snails.bmp

One more thing:

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but when you can't spawn as the rebels unless you have 5 points.

Yeah, we know. For the time being we are using Jaspo's space sides for now. After I make new ones, Luna will be released.

This is not a bug; the vehicles that explode at the beginning of the match are for XL mode - they have a higher spawn count - and are 'killed', and vice versa.

Clone armor already has an internal oxygen source, and phase 2 armor is fully pressurized. .

Why not just not load them in any LUA but XL? Then you won't have people playing other modes wondering where all the explosions are coming from.

They still explode; I'd imagine it's a bit confusing for someone playing the map their first time. In mode LUAs besides XL, you could just not include the vehicles in the initial ReadDataFile lists - that should stop them from spawning in those modes.

Alternatively you could put the vehicle spawns in an XL-specific ZE layer.

Yes, but I want the vehicles to be loaded, that is how it has always been...

That was the first thing I tried but it didn't work so I decided I didn't want to deal with that, but I will try it again.

Why do you want them loaded if they're not going to be used in that mode? :?

The same vehicles are used in both modes; however, the vehicle spawns' spawn counts in XL mode are higher than the ones in Conquest.


EDIT:

I tried the layer thing again and it works.

Ah, I hadn't quite understood your intentions.

IMO, it's almost too vibrant, TOO blue. I think it should be duller and more faded, personally. It just doesn't go well with the other stock textures...

And the ATTE and the ATAT and any other vehicles (note: same theme does not necessarily mean same color scheme). But as it stands, the hailfire's skin just doesn't fit. It stands out compared to Pandemic's work.
