toue Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 oh man that's sweet! you should make another version with only jedi tho, can you get up in the stands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Oooo....sweet. Through in a little creativity. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Andrew Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 That's awesome, but since when have football fields have huge bumps on them? But like toue mentioned, you should try to add stands, even if it is impossible to add the actual seats. Oooooo, maybe you could even add an announcer's box, and a concessions stand, and maybe even filthy bathrooms! But don't forget all the weird contraptions for all the other alien species; they have to expel waste too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordZilla Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 -I would like to add more, but it seems I'm at the max for objects. Adding more makes others disappear. -The “bumps” on the field were put in to provide some kind of cover (bunkers), otherwise it was just suicidal. -Yes you can go into the stands, but only with jet-troopers and also only so high . - There are ‘steps’ in the stands. -A few things didn’t work out as good as I had hoped but until I learn to model I have to use the objects that are shipped. - I do want to upload this map, but all my maps are huge, I have to find a site specifically for BF2 maps. Not a file-share site, because they are usually limited to how much you can upload. As soon as a DEDICATED SB2 site is created for map uploads/downloads I will start uploading.. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toue Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 well then i eagarly await the upload and till then am i right in assumeing you used the yavin 4 arena stands for the stands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordZilla Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 Nope, yav2_bldg_bigwall .. Arena stands wouldn't have been a bad idea but they are hard to line up properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLocke Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I think one of the best things is the Pepsi logo in the back. You could have a whole sports theme going: football field, baseball diamond, hockey rink, NASCAR track, etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toue Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 that would be a good idea except maybe the nascar, somehow it doesn't seem right to me but it would be nice for one of those racing maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidgamer838 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 nascar w/ spedder bikes! or pod racers if someone makes a modle for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordZilla Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 It's hard to do, well not hard to alter the tga's , that part is easy, but once you change one, you can't use different versions of the same (at least I couldn't figure it out ;-) . What I mean is in the example above with the 'pepsi' logo, that is done on the 'yav long wall.odf/tga' (forget the odf's file name right now) . I tried to create a seperate odf and msh (copy and pasting with different names) and then doing the same for the tga that the msh points to. But there is other code in msh that seems to prevent this. Being far from a coder, I cut my loses and map on. There used to be "legos" (blank blocks) with the old version of Zeroedit, so far I haven't seen any for this version. These Legos would certainly help in doing a Nascar theme map. Watch this space , I'm going to post some screens from my latest experiment in altering tga's :-) "Straight Halls" (yeah the name sucks but I don't know if I'll ever share this one, just trying out some techniques. One thing I haven't figured out yet is how to alter the skins of the "sides" turrets ...i.e. \side\tur\weap_built_minigunturret.tga" ...etc etc . I can get the new skins to appear in the editor but not the Game. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordZilla Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Straight Halls; You’ll see the Turrets, they’re supposed to be skinned too. In the editor they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordZilla Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Oh yeah, tried that ... nope not the answer. I can't get that to work...I read the jedi creation.doc...which helps but I can't figure that skin out. There's got to be an easier way ("copy this.. create this folder...edit these 4oo files...don't copy this but copy that..." damn confusing :-) It soo easy to edit the regular odf's/msh/tga's but the stuff in the sides folder I can't get to munge , editor reads from it no problem, every change I make appears there. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toue Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 that looks good alot like some giant kids playroom but i bet it'd be hard to see sometimes as the roof and walls are the same "wallpaper" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordZilla Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yes it's actually just a 'toy' map, I was playing with textures and seeing what could be done (by an amateur like me :-) ... yeah it is hard to see the enemy, but that's almost a bonus.

biny Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 When/where are we going to be able to download these!? They look awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordZilla Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I want to upload them as soon as there is a well establish, non-paying or signing up for, fully dedicated BF2 map upload/download site. There has been sites like that for almost every game -with an editor- out there, one always rises above the rest…and that’s the site I’m waiting for. I like going to one site to do all my shopping :-)….it’ll come…..Well I hope it does, cause this next map I actually want to share; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
