NEW! Battle of Coruscant Map

[trainmaster611]

Yeah, you guys should consider that.

Now lets see, I created new exhaust effects for the fighters, except the jedi fighter. I used a red skin of the anakin fighter and made an obiwan fighter. That leaves one effect and two model tweaks until the sides are finally (and like seriously) finished. woohoo

First post: June 18, 2007. Nowhere near two years. Good maps take time.

...I think you get the idea. This is a great example of why we don't let WIP threads like this exist at GT, and why we don't let WIPs exist at all unless they're 50% done or more. I'm sure trainmaster's pleased to no end for the publicity (and he should be pleased), but you all are basically just asking the same questions and repeating them every other page.

If a post is actually made about progress, that's great, feel free to make a comment or two on it. However, it seems to me to be just a huge waste of time and bandwidth to post the same junk over and over and over and not get anywhere, which is all this thread is doing.

Well, there's nothing wrong with wanting to keep up to date with a work in progress, and giving some compliments when there's a cool update. I do agree that the "When is this coming out" posts get a little annoying, since these people don't see the effort that's going into something like this.

That's all I'm going to say.

I agree with Mav. If there was something spectacular to show you guys in the way of updates, Train would show you. But any decent modder will tell you that the bulk of the work goes into things that a screenshot can't show. Things like scripting, adjusting lighting, adjusting weapon values, speed, whatever. That's the hard part, and it takes forever to get it right. Train's one of those guys who does things right rather than just throw a bunch of junk together and call it an epic map.

I wouldn't worry, he's just doing it justice - which takes a long time.

Maybe you should post a screenshot of some script. That would be cool to see.

[The_Geek_With_The_Gun]

You mean of the actual script? or the script in action? but still, id rather have him finish it sooner than post stuff all the time...

[Big Business]

The actual script, if he gets around to it. Give us an appreciation for the behind-the-scenes.
