Love your collaborative philosophy on this and happy to be a part of it.

I did a bit of searching, and found a site where a guy has some seamless sand textures that look like they'll fit the bill, or could easily be tweaked:

I just want to get better at this.
I can tweak your base texture (which looks nice as it is) to match the color of the images and make the variations from that base texture. And yes, size 2048X2048. I'll send you a PM, if you think I can give it a try I'll be glad to help you.
here is the texture itself have fun lemme know how it goes

Upon my quick play, I've discovered a few issues.


-The Health and Ammo droids disappear if you look at them in a certain way


-The antenna you mentioned in your update post is no where to be seen


-The vehicles seem to still not have sound, I thought that was supposed to be fixed?
1.) Health droids shouldnt dissapear but as a high poly animated prop their low rez is more noticible (this model will be replaced soon anyways) ammo droids im not sure if it doesnt have a lowrez or whats going on with that but thats getting replaced too before the beta.

The antenna is definately there I just loaded the .rar I uploaded. if your not seeing this delete BRS from addon and re-copy and paste

3.) vehicle sounds I still am having difficulty with, sound munge doesnt like this project very much; I can however add custom sounds with ease so be patient because this very likely wont be fixed until im finished making Uwing/tie reaper sounds.

@harrisonfog absolutely id love whatever texture you can muster, a few things, make sure its seamless/tileable for ZE. make sure it looks clean and pretty and make sure the texture is 2048X2048 so it matches my other textures. If you take the base from a free texture site include the site/author for credits please. Id love textures from people as this project is meant to draw attention to get people back into modding. Community contributions are always welcome (provided they are of a certain standard of quality, not too pick on the newer modders, but this is meant to draw attention to the community so I want it to be as good and polished as it can be; also this is not meant to try to sound like an "elitist")
Thanks for responding, Gogie.

About the antenna, I found it, and it's there. I thought by antenna, you meant that huge one seen in the reveal trailer for Rogue One, not something small.

it looks like that might be just the early concept art from the citadel, which although makes me hesitant to add it makes me kind of want to add it into the cargo zone map (Book reference is The Art of Rogue One A Star Wars Story by Josh Kushins, anyone who owns the book picture is on page 204)

Yeah, I know about the concept art thing. Still, I'd love to see it added in a map, be it Landing Zone or any of your future Scarif maps. Would add a bit of flavor; that is my opinion, at least!

It's been revealed that early on in the movie they took the Com Tower and had it separated from the citadel and was going to have the Rogue One crew run across to it from the citadel but decided they needed to shorten the 3rd act of the movie so they put the Com Tower on top of the citadel.

Some bugs:

You should double check that all the units have their award weapons, cause a lot of them don't.

Also, the very top center point of the sky is really weird looking. It stretches really awkwardly, you can get a good look at it from a vehicle.

I've said this before but you should really look into adding some diversity to the units when you get the chance. I understand if it may not be a priority, but they're just really bland right now. Almost all of them have a pistol and/or rifle and adding in some new weapons would make things way more interesting.

Oh and you should also greatly reduce the health on those cargo ships, they take way too long to destroy and a lot of the ai just end up shooting at them, but never dealing any real damage. Even the rockets do like nothing.

Anyways I'm really liking this new patch, thanks for all the hard work!

I've been focusing on skinning the sides and finishing the map; sides will have new weapons (high Rez meshes are taking some time to develope)

The new finished sides will be show cased in the 1.2 patch (which I've mentioned before)

New game modes will be introduced during the beta

I like the think I work quickly so expect the 1.2 patch to be released in the next week or two ill keep up to date and let you guys know more as it develops;

The full beta will be released and is planned to release shortly before rogue one hits stores.

These alphas are meant to get my problems hammered out so I can release in time for the movie; as I see the movies release as the best time for us to get the popularity ball rolling on this project.

Ah sorry, didn't see you had mentioned you weren't completely done with the sides. I'm glad to help finding things in the alpha here, and sorry if you already knew about this stuff.

I'm sending you a link with the new base texture (I rushed it so I could show you how it looks today, but it can be further improved!). If you like it I can create the variations.
This is how it looks in game (the map is clearly hoth):
Image
Maybe it needs a little more saturation but I did it pale so you get the idea...

This is totally off topic, but a sandy Hoth map would be cool as hell.

Is it possible to release it as a map?

This is what I will be looking forward to the most. People who know me via my YouTube channel know I LOVE custom sides! New game modes are also one of my favorites too since I do get sick of the "Conquest" mode and want to try something new. This is something I need to keep an eye out for!

Tried out the map just now, and here are my notes, ranked from highest gameplay priority to lowest:

Troopers (both Imp & Rebel) entering and immediatelly leaving dropships (Reapers & U-wing). It's like an endless cycle of people falling out the back of the vehicle. They get caught in this loop and don't notice the enemy.

Dropship blasters aren't effective enough against the destroyable cargo shuttle CPs. If 3 X-Wings can take out an AT-ACT in a single strafe, a dropship blaster ought to pack at least the same punch as an infantry rocket. Right now it seems to have the damage of a grenade, or less.

Hitbox for cargo shuttle CPs needs work. It only seems to take damage on the ship itself (and inconsistently at that), and not on the cargo it carries underneath. The ship is too tall to slap detpacks onto the cargo from the sides. It's pretty awesome when it blows though.

Firing underneath platforms is often ineffective from a higher vantage point, and AI often gets stuck under the stairs. I clearly have a bead on them, but the reticule isn't red, and when I fire, the bolts hit the invisible bounding box.

A few disappearing object issues:
CP5 disappears when standing at 7oclock (if entrance is 12)
Ammo droid outside CP5 disappears when looking 7 oclock
Disappearing platforms near CP5

Landing platforms often turn white when approaching them to land. LOD issue?


All in all though, this has a ton of work put into it so far and has decent gameplay as is. I'm excited to see what it's like when it's more polished!

That footage is from the original ending of Rogue One before reshoots dramatically changed the ending. After I saw the film, I noticed serious discrepancies with much of the earlier footage released, so I looked into it. As time went on, I did a lot of extensive research into this, and it looks like EA's Rogue One mission is more or less what the original final sequence was -- a mad dash out of the Imperial Base with the plans, then a dash across the water amidst firing AT-ACT's, and then to the antenna to transmit, then to where the ship was waiting to leave. That was the original ending, and a great deal of the ending concerned itself with the chase from Base to beach through water to the antenna.

thank you, I am working to fix these issues for the next patch

as for sides: storm trooper is nearly complete sorry next patch may take a while as I am remodelling and adjusting every weapon on every unit to more match with the movies and still maintain some balance:

Storm trooper as Planned:
Primary Weapon: E11 Blaster Rifle
Secondary Weapon: SE14r Blaster Pistol (Single Shot)
Special: Thermal Detonator

Trooper has recieved a energy boost and will recover energy faster after sprinting, our infantry class will be meant to cover ground quickly and get between objective to objective, however it is planned to have average health / defense / damage capability.

Award Weapons have recieved a small change for the map: award weapons will not longer lock out and give an over powered weapon, instead both the original and award form of each weapon will be available. Award weapons will now function as a new weapon mode for each weapon they will share ammo as well to give the impression you are using the same weapon.

Award weapons:
E11 Blaster Rifle (Stock Extended): takes the stock mount from the E11 and uses it as a shoulder mount, this will decrease the spread of the E11 and increase the weapons stability / range. Damage values (as with all reward weapons) have increase very very slightly to give the impression its still an award.

SE14r Blaster Pistol (Tri-Shot) : will give players the three shot burst mode on the SE14r Pistol, although this will increase the amount of damage you can do, it will also increase weapon heat generation (single shot mode will overheat less quickly).

Changes to the Thermal Detonator: the red crown effect will be removed from the thermal detonator, I dunno to me this effect always felt out of place, 1 because you can easily detect when an enemy throws one, and b) because the effect itself doesn't exist itself in the cinematic movies. Further more the Thermal Detonator will no longer stick, its not a stick grenade its always been a little weird to be that this has been the case in battlefront. There will be future grenades that can stick to vehicles on other classes (demolitions)

A few screen caps to keep interest:
Hidden/Spoiler:
The Original E11 Blaster (Stock)

The Remodeled E11 Blaster to match more of the movie effect:

The Remodeled E11 Blaster with Extended Stock
Image
Image
Ill post more as I modify more sides:

a few ideas planned out so far: heavy rifle will be more balanced (details on this to come), auto turret from engineer will recieve a boost, as well will be remodeled (boost is due to the fact the engineer should feel like a builder class and otherwise engineers weapons will be under powered) Pilot will recieve a deployable astromech droid for quick vehicle repair (remember pilots are meant to feel like a pilot not like a soldier)

stay tuned ill give more updates as they come

Yeah! Everything is great... and wow, I wanted to see how my textures looked in the map, it's cool, I'm working on a texture that's even better plus other 2, that I'll send it to you tonight. Good job Gogie!

Re: Scarif: Imperial Landing Zone (Alpha v1.1 new release)

Post by Gogie »

So a few updates to the plans of the sides as is:

Infantry Class:
Hidden/Spoiler:
This class is being built around focusing on fighting on the battlefield, it has the most balance out of the classes and is the least specialized of the classes, this unit is meant to be particularly decent at taking out other infantry units and can provide some explosive support for destroying objectives using thermal detonators.

Traits: Moderate Moving Speed, Moderate Health, Moderate Damage, Increased Energy

Weapons
Primary Weapon: (Empire will be E11 Blaster / Rebellion Will be A280C Blaster)
This blaster will have a moderate rate of fire and damage ratio, will be more effective against infantry than any other targets (this recieves decreased damage against Vehicles and Buildings)

Secondary: (Empire will be SE-14r Pistol / Rebellion Will be DH17 Pistol)
This pistol has a single tap trigger, has ammo added (will no longer be infinite) and may also overheat (this recieves moderate damage against infantry and a reduced damage against vehicles and buildings it is only a pistol afterall)

Special: Thermal Detonator
Will cause damage to all units caught in the explosion, as with the stock thermal detonator, however it will now have a small blinking light attached instead of a red glow. The Thermal detonator is no longer a sticky grenade and will bounce off targets so be careful where you are throwing

AWARD weapons
Primary Weapon: (Empire will be E11 With Stock extended / Rebellion Will be A280C Blaster with stock extended)
You can sacrifice your rate of fire to an increase in damage and accuracy with this enabled, this will share weapon ammo with the regular blaster now to give the impression that it is a different mode rather than a award weapon.

Secondary Weapon: (Empire will be SE14r w/ 3 shot burst / Rebellion Will be DH17 w/ 3 shot burst)
You can now fire more rapidly with the pistol in 3 shot bursts. However be careful with this increased rate of fire your heat generation increases as well and your pistol will overheat faster.
Demolitions Class
Hidden/Spoiler:
This class is being built around destroying both vehicles and target buildings (objectives), this unit will fight with Ion based ammunition and will do increased damage, however will recieve a decrease to movement speed.

Traits: Decreased Movement Speed, Moderate Health, Increased Damage (vs buildings / Vehicles), Moderate Energy
Weapons
Primary Weapon: (Empire will be DLT-19 Heavy Blaster / Rebellion Will be A-300 Blaster)
This weapon although having a high rate of fire uses Ion shots, it deals increased damage against vehicles, shields and buildings, however it deals less damage against infantry units, be careful as you may find yourself out gunned easily.

Secondary Weapon: (Empire / Rebellion will be Rocket Launcher with Ion Torpedo)
This weapon will launch an ion torpedo capable of locking onto enemy vehicles, although this weapon can deal massive damage to enemy vehicles as it is ion based it deals decreased damage against infantry.

Special: Explosive Charge (reskinned to be more closer resemble the charges used on Endor)
These are an all around damage charge, they are remote activated charges that will deal massive damage to infantry, vehicles and buildings.

AWARD Weapons:
Primary Weapon: (Empire will be DLT-19 Overload Shot / Rebellion Will be A-300 Overload shot)
This weapon can be charged over a period of 5 seconds to deal its entire clip in damage, this is extremely useful for walking into hard to handle situations and not having to stand and fire at an object instead going in prepared.

Rocket launcher has no award weapon as of yet, im thinking of something creative to add here :roll:
Scout
Hidden/Spoiler:
The scout class is meant to serve as a long range anti infantry unit, having sniping capabilities this unit will recieve an increase to damage against other units, however will have decreased damage against buildings and vehicles.

Traits: Increased Speed, Increased Damage vs Infantry, Decreased Damage vs Vehicles/Buildings, Decreased Health, Increased Energy

Weapons
Primary Weapon: (Empire will be DLT-19X / Rebellion will be Sniper configured A-300)
This allows both the A-300 and DLT-19 to expend their entire charge to deal damage, the weapons have been refitted with sniper scopes and are perfect for picking off infantry.

Secondary: (Empire will be SE-14r Pistol / Rebellion Will be DH17 Pistol)
This pistol has a single tap trigger, has ammo added (will no longer be infinite) and may also overheat (this recieves moderate damage against infantry and a reduced damage against vehicles and buildings it is only a pistol afterall)

Special: Trip Mines
This will be a anti personnel mine, that can be placed and left with only a faint green glow as an indicator it is easy to attack other infantry with these, these deal huge amounts of damage vs other units, however deal decreased damage against vehicles and other buildings.

AWARD Weapons
Primary Weapon: (Empire will be DLT-19X w/ Carbine configuration / Rebellion will be Carbine configured A-300)
This will allow the sniper rifle to enter a semi-automatic mode of fire, allowing for four focused shots from the rifle, these shots as they expend less of the total charge will deal less damage however allow for a higher rate of fire for the right situation using rifle from its standard configuration

Secondary Weapon: (Empire will be SE14r w/ 3 shot burst / Rebellion Will be DH17 w/ 3 shot burst)
You can now fire more rapidly with the pistol in 3 shot bursts. However be careful with this increased rate of fire your heat generation increases as well and your pistol will overheat faster.
Engineer
Hidden/Spoiler:
The engineer is now built to be less of a damage class and more of a builder class, this class although perhaps in the alpha may not seem like much, will play a vital role in game modes as they are finished. The engineer class in itself still remains immune to mines and is the only class capable of disarming them.

Traits: Moderate Speed, Decreased Damage, Increased Health, Moderate Energy

Weapons
Primary Weapon: (Empire will be SE-14r Pistol / Rebellion Will be DH17 Pistol)
This pistol has a single tap trigger, has ammo added (will no longer be infinite) and may also overheat (this recieves moderate damage against infantry and a reduced damage against vehicles and buildings it is only a pistol afterall)

Secondary Weapon: Repair Kit
The repair kit will be used by the engineer to repair buildings / turrets this will be a vital role in the Base Assault game mode, This kit can also be used to disarm mines.

Special: Anti-Infantry Turret
The engineer will be able to place a mobile anti infantry auto turret to help make up for its lack of combat ability, this will be the same anti infantry turret used by the bases in base assault to give the impression to people that the engineer can build and place the additional turret to aid where they want

Keep up to date all these sides and weapons are being added coming this week to the ALPHA patch (version 1.2)
all files for the weapons have been done I just need to finish modelling a few of them (which for me modelling takes less time than the odf work, I secretly suck at that)

Further more prepare for the Open Beta release to come shortly after featuring an all new game mode: Base Assault
the premise of Base Assault:
This will be a conquest variant with a large number of twists

Every command post will feature several buildables (this is where the engineer comes in)
A combination of AA turrets, Anti infantry turrets (on some maps vehicle turrets)
Shield Generators / Fortified Walls
Kolto Tanks (to replace medical droids) and weapon Caches (to replace those out of place Gonk Droids)

You win by scoring points, destroying turrets and objectives built around the base will increase your score, however killing enemy units will also increase your score. This gives it also a death match sort of feels.

You can also alternatively win by capturing all the bases just like in regular conquest!

The demolitions class and engineer class are intended to take a huge role here however they are intended to be underpowered compared to the rest of the infantry classes to slow down their progres.. Again this is intended to be release in the Open Beta comine early April so stayed tuned in!

[EDIT]: slightly after a week of the first version of the Alpha's release the map has reached 1100 downloads; Thanks to everyone (especially all you youtubers, and SWgameoutpost.com) for making this map a success in such a short time frame.

I really like these setups, every class sounds unique!
The only thing that IMO could be improved is to not give to 3 classes (eng,pilot and medic) the same pistol as a primary weapon.
