No, that's the Toxin Droid. Dark Force Droids are still red.

Xavious, I think you should check all your maps and look for the blaster carbine problem. I think that should be a first priority. I think everyone here hates a floating icon on the screen.

That's funny, because it works fine for me, and nobody else has said anything about it. I don't know what to tell you. :?

Beta testers, I'm sending out Murkhana in a couple minutes.

And you non-beta testers, here's a couple of screenshots of the new Murkhana. I haven't changed anything layout-wise, but I did add rain/lightning (since I removed it from Yavin), made the lighting a bit brighter so it's easier to see, and added a little bit of fog (not really noticable from the screenshots).

I could actually see in the old Murkhana map, but if you want to change the lighting, then go ahead, since it's your map. The only map I really couldn't see in was Sullust.

I'm going to be doing a video for the map pack soon, and I'd like to know what you guys would like to see. Vote in the poll, guys; I'll probably do the video on Saturday so you have plenty of time.

I personally think it's be kinda cool to just do the simplest thing: a gameplay video in FPV. MAybe with invincibility on to prevent the red flashes and death, and you couyld possibly do things like a war movie, with the camera constantly shaking, just basically a war movie sorta, a clone narrating how things are going.

Why not a combination of all of those options? At first, show the maps and cool game stuff off in freecam, then go into gameplay, and while you are in gameplay, you could tell us about important features!

Oh, and nice work on the CIS capital ship in Kamino. I was looking at the screens, and I saw the red markings on it.

I agree with Grev. You could start out with the style of a trailer, then go into gameplay/features, sort of like a lot of video game trailers do. Maybe search around Youtube to get some ideas for a good format.
