HK-47's Maps

[HK-47]

Hi guys!

Since the FoC Map Editor is out (I waited 28 minutes in a line in FilePlanet to download it  ) I'm going to make some maps and finish some that I was making for EaW.

Here's my first release:

Endor: Death Star II Construction

It's a small and very simple map, that allows you to play a three way space battle above the Death Star II construction over Endor... It doesn't have so much details, but I'll make a more "beautiful" version soon.

Here's some screens:

Link to download: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=08700C4352540D7F

 

The DSII and the SSD CANNOT be used by any factions, they're only DECORATIONS.

If you find any bug, please post here or PM me, but I tested it and the only that I found is that you don't have starting units... I  think I put the Marks as in the game's skirmish maps, but...

 

I hope you enjoy!

;D

IT'S OUT!?!?!?!?!?

Thanks for telling me! WAHOOO!!!!!!!!

 

EDIT:

What the heck?

 

Where did you download that map editor? I can't find it on EaWfiles, I even tried google...You're lying, aren't you?

[HK-47]

No, I'm not lying! IT'S FINALLY OUT! 

I got it here: http://www.fileplanet.com/171964/170000/fileinfo/Star-Wars:-Empire-at-War---Forces-of-Corruption-Editor.

Good luck waiting in the line to download the editor...

[Droid803]

Why use fileplanet?

 

Check PF, there's an alternate download link.

 

Only problem I have is that the tutorial still has german in it lol. Not that I needed the tutorial...things awesome, better than the EaW one...it takes a screen-capture of your map

[HK-47]

I'm working on my first map pack, I think it will be released soon, just need to fix some bugs in a few maps and finish others.

Here's a preview of some of the space maps:

 

Bespin: Tibanna Wars (space skirmish - 8 players support)

 

Needing more resource of the precious Tibanna Gas, you planned an attack on one of the largest Bespin's Tibanna Gas refineries, the BesGas H-47-K. Watch out to the refinery defence ships, they appear to have some Interceptor Frigates and some Venators modified into light cargo ships (but still well-armored) and most important: we intercepted a transmission that another faction was wanting to take control of the refinery, so hurry...

I only need to hide the mining facilities in somewhere or find another way of obtain credits.

 

 

Mustafar Siege (space skirmish - 8 players support)

 

The mysterious planet of Mustafar could be a good resource of credits, and perhaps, we could scavenge some CIS forgotten techonology, be alert, the sistem probably has it's own defense force.

This map is ready and free of bugs (well, I didn't find any)

 

 

Chaos over Tatooine (space skirmish - 8 players support)

 

The planet Tatooine was always an interesting place to hidden a base, large deserts as Dune Sea, or wastelands as Jundland. And if there's a bright center to the universe, it is the planet that it's farthest from... There are so many villainy and scum here that is difficult to our enemies to find a hidden base... Or to us to build it...

This map is ready and free of bugs too.

 

Endor: Death Star II Construction - UPDATED

 

I've changed a few things, fixed the missing starting units bug and added a few more build pads (thanks to MajorPayne for the suggestion!).

Any *possible* suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!

[Guest]

looks great man. and if you need any help you can ask me. I'm good at mapping myself.  ;D

[HK-47]

Thanks!

So, here's my first question: I was wondering to make an Utapau map (having at least two sink holes - it would be a large map), but I get stuck in how to make slopes. Do I do slopes with the Additive Brush, rising and lowering the land until it's good (spendind a lot of time), or there's a special tool that makes this and I don't know?! Because, come on, make the slopes is boooring, I'd prefer to see a SSD death clone exploding lol  ...

[Guest]

Under desert props ther are already custom sinkholes.

[HK-47]

Yeah I know about the sinkholes... My question is if there's an specific tool to make slopes...

[Droid803]

Levelling code brush.

 

Set the level to um...-200 or something

[HK-47]

Uh?

Jeteye and D803, I appreciate your help but... I want to know how to make slopes, not sinkholes... 

Or I didn't understand?

???

[Droid803]

Oh then use the Additive code brush and click your scroll wheel.

It'll equalize the terrain, making a smooth slope (eventually)

[HK-47]

Thanks a lot! You made my life much more easy now! lol

Urgh, I'm working in my Utapau now and just finished the first sinkhole... Make large sinkholes is very  ...

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

I love the screens but hate to download from fileplanet.

[Droid803]

The FilePlanet link is just for FoC Map Editor...and its out of FileFront now.

[1upD]

Urgh, I'm working in my Utapau now and just finished the first sinkhole... Make large sinkholes is very  ...

You do know you can set a hole in the terrain, and place a sinkhole object underneath the ground, then set the passability so nothing can walk over the hole in the terrain?

[HK-47]

Yes I do know.

Thanks Lord of the Sith, I think I'll release the Space Map Pack until Friday, and the Land Map Pack next week...  ;D

[Droid803]

I'm intrigued to see how you have placed pirate units and have them show up.

 

Unless of course, you didn't use the multiplayerstructuremarkers. I've never bee nable to get them to show anything other than Neutral Starbases...

[HK-47]

D803, I didn't use multiplayer structure markers, I only put the Pirate Asteroid Base (not the one under secondary structures, I think) and set it to Hostile (not Black Sun Pirates)  - same thing with the other hostile units that are pretended to be the planet's defense fleet, or some local faction fleet.

(Bump on my own topic)

How long time does EaW Files Staff generally take to upload something (including the review, etc)?  ???

Because I sent my Map Pack many days ago and until now nothing...I am afraid I sent the e-mail with something wrong...

[Kelathin]

Fosh has been busy though, if everything is set up right. I should be able too upload file and review files now mwahahaa.

Usually a long time.

Your a EaWfiles admin?

Oh. My mod is taking a while to show up on Filefront, but when it does, could you make sure to put The Underworld's Might up on EaWfiles?

Obs: sorry about Map Editor screens, but I forgot to take the screens while I was playing 

[Lord_of_the_Sith]

Cool map!

[Mr.Caine]

Holy crap! That looks amazing!
