(6)Xagobah: 607th Siege

Post by Xavious »

Storyline: 607th Commandos have intercepted a message with encrypted commands sent toArmonus from a secret Seperatist outpost on Xagobah.

Capturing the outpost's communications center would enable the 607th to trackdown all the major Seperatist leaders, including the mysterious Darth Sidious.

Little does the 607th know what awaits them on the surface of this barren,
fungus-covered planet; Count Dooku himself, with a full army of battle droidsunder his personal command...

Is this an updated version, or just the same?

I played through it a few times as both the Republic and CIS, and I have to say that it was incredibly fun. Pretty much everything is set up perfectly - unit count, planning, foliage density, etc. The only real bug I found was that the blasters on the AAT were missing their firing sound. Other than that, all you need to do is move a few objects a matter of inches to get rid of some gaps.

Screens of gaps between objects:

I don't really have any way of indicating where in the tunnels the first two shots were taken, so you might need to go hunting them down yourself. I can tell you that one of them was pretty close to the rear entrance to the CIS base, maybe around the third and fourth tunnel pieces in.

The main entrance to the base has a gap between it and the terrain:

A small sliver of ground made it past the terrain cutter:

Another small visual adjustment I would make is with the halos around the sun. The bloom effect doesn't entirely cover them, so the sun looks kind of strange.

Some glamour shots:

I wish I just had a video recording of the whole time I was playing; there were some really cool moments that just couldn't be captured by screenshots. For example, as I was taking cover behind an AAT as a battledroid, a clone trooper was blasted into the air by an explosion, landed on the bottom platform of the tank, and rolled off. Normally events like that don't look so great in Battlefront because of the lack of any ragdoll effects or anything of that nature, but somehow the animations worked out in this sequence to look incredibly realistic. Situations like this were made even more intense by the fact that I was playing in first-person mode for most of the time.

Anyway, good work. This is already a very polished map, so there's really not much you need to do with it.

The map looks great. I like how you touched up the plants in this version with their own colors so that they are a little more unique than stock Felucia plants.

Aside from Eggman's bugs I found two other issues.

1) In the caves, near the command post opposite the hangar, the jumping is kind of glitchy. You do a half jump and it plops you back down really fast. Almost like the height ceiling is really low.

2) Some of those blue tree plants have little glowing white boxes on the corners of the leaves:

All in all they are pretty minor bugs so don't kill yourself trying to fix them.

Like H-Bomb wrote,the Plants in this Version are very beautiful.
I prefered much to fight the Way in Direction to the CP on the little Island behind the hill.
I didnt found any big Errors besides of :
To Jump at the rear Cave CP of the CIS is very glitchy.(H-Bomb found it also.)

Not much to say to this Xagobah Version.You revised it well and its optical more enjoyable than the old One.
Good Work in all your Maps. :thumbs:

First of all, this is a very good map. I like the placement of the objects etc.
There are very few bugs in this one. Besides what the others found, there are some objets a bit underground in the main REP base. I think you should just double check the objects in that area.
I also think that the REP main base is kind of empty. You might want to put some more objects there to make it look better.
