Works for me... that's odd.

Hey Teancum, I just DL'ed and checked it out. It's lookin good so far. A couple things:
- Ground is still really dark (everyone seems to be having this problem with the BF1 conversions)
- One CP on conquest inside the temple is way up in the air. Easy fix.
- 1 flag CTF doesn't work yet. I had this happen with my preliminary test map too, and don't know how to fix it. You can grab the flag and score the first time, but it doesn't reset. After the first score everyone just kinda stands around.
- Birds need fixing
- Suggestion on CTF - have the teams spawn from the opposite "rooms" (those upper enclosed areas that have CP's on conquest) inside the temple. That way there's an initial clash to try to get the flag. Otherwise it seems pretty simple to just run in there and defend that area. It utilizes more of the map then, too.

When you spawn the it might look off compared to the objects in the map, but once in-game and playing it will be fine. I didn't light this map. It's the exact same lighting they left in it from the BF2 Modtools (this was the only map they left in the tools but have not released).
As far as bugs go:
-I know about the CTF ones --I'm still trying to perfect the process of creating the CTF modes so I can write a tutorial
-I checked every CP on my conquest layer. They all sit right where they should. I'm not sure what's causing the problem on your end.
-Birds -- yeah, I knew about them, but forgot to mention them.
-@Squipple -- I left the CTF CP's where Pandemic left them. It really works well this way, as vehicles can be used for offense/defense while your teammate is grabbing the flag. It uses up the whole map.

I'm looking fwd to those CTF tutes! Would've been nice if the zeroedit example world CTF worked.
That CP in the air, maybe it was just the version you munged when you released. Other people are seeing it too.
As far as where Pandemic left the CPs on this one, you should at least swap sides for the goals. Right now you spawn, go grab the flag, and go back the way you came (from what I remember..it stopped after the first goal). Doesn't make it too difficult of a trip on the way back sice you're just passing your own guys. Think about 1-flag on any of the shipped maps. You have to bring the flag to a goal the other team is defending. Makes it much more challenging and fun.

Oh, I didn't know that about 1-Flag... so you start at your own CP, go for the flag, then capture it at the enemy's CP? Cool.
Oh, and I'll check in-game on that Conquest CP. You guys are talking about the big temple at one end, correct?
Guess what! I've got XL (Team Deathmatch) working for CW. Fred and I are trying to figure out how to add brand new game modes. I have one all set up, but we have to figure how to get the game to recognize it. I'm hoping for a new Order 66 mode. I described it in the Custom Gameytpe Discussion thread if you want to check it out.
I'm crossing my fingers that for the final version someone will have extracted the XBox content (If they don't release Asajj and Kit for PC). This is one of the few exceptions of 'grey area' regarding copyright we'll allow, because PC users got shafted.
I'm going back and forth between Yavin 4: Arena, Bespin: Platforms, and Tatooine: Dune Sea (I usually switch when I'm stuck on something).

Well, you don't capture it at the enemies CP, but in the 'goal' (the pulsating ring area) which is located near the enemies CP so that they can defend it.
..or maybe your comment was sarcastic..? :p
Yeah, the CP in the air is one of em in the inside of the temple up in the enclosed areas. If you play GCW, I think it's the rebels side.

Yeah...
1-flag is always set up so that the flag is in a location an equal distance from both goals, and your team spawns near the other team's goal. That way it makes it difficult to try to score because you have to get through the other team's troops (or try to sneak around them) to score.
2-flag is set up so that your team's spawn and goal are in the same area, but the flag you need to get is located in the other team's goal. That way, not only do you need to fight the other team to collect your flag, but you have to get out alive to bring it back to your goal.
Explaining it can be confusing, yes. You're right, it's best to just go play them and see how they work. Not all maps have both (I think it's one or the other), but since we can it'll be cool to make our maps have all modes.
FYI - someone (a TAW member) released yavin 4's temple on the lucas forums. I've yet to check it out, but maybe they've figured out some of the issues you're having. Might be a good resource.
Keep up the awesome work Tean!

Tean,
It's unfortunate that 2 people were working on this at the same time. I would like to take this moment to say, USE THE ANNOUNCEMENT thread people!
It would be a shame for this to happen on a constant basis since one map can take anywhere from 3 solid days to a month to create. I, for one, have a full time job, so it's hard to find the time.
I think Artemis has released a 1.0 version, so maybe you can discuss the issues you faced and how he overcame them.

Maybe these are released by the same people, just with different names on the Lucas forums, I'm not sure.
