Echo Base (Hoth Map) - Some thoughts *request*

[dark_apprentice]

Hi everyone,

First of all, before I start with anything I'm really sorry, that I am not into modding, making maps or etc I am just composer, but I was thinking... since all you great people make so awesome artwork for the JKA mod and specially here in the Unleashed 1.5 I was searching around the last few days on JKA's mods over the internet and ModDb.

 

Sadly I didn't see any good map of the Echo Base on Hoth, beside only 2 that I have found over the JK3 FileFront. The first one, that really has almost all of the original content is from "Lightsaber" the so called "Hoth-Hangar" map and the other one, which I personally like much more and has better details is the "MMG-Hoth" map, made by "mynok's mother and Greedo".

 

Today I was looking for something way more different in ModDb, when I just found out, about one unique mod for "Battlefield 2142" with the name  "First Strike". It is a total SW conversion modification for "Battlefield 2142" and I saw one video of their new "Echo Base 2" map, and I admit I am really amazed by the work of the team, who managed to build this map. It looks really realistic and as far as I am familiar with the Echo Base on Hoth from "Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition" (where Lord Stalker is fighting with Luke), it is the best map I've seen for the moment, almost 1:1

 

So I am requesting to some of the best mappers here in this community and perhaps, even provoke him/her/them to make one new map for Jedi Academy of the Echo Base on Hoth, as much good and detailed as possible for JKA (and I have seen some of the maps under process here with brand new and much better look, than the traditional maps of JKA, so I know you are really great artists). If I was able to make it myself I would already work on it, but I'm not.. well actually I could help you guys for this map, if you need some sounds and stuff like that or just music on the background, during the game play on this map and I will try to do my best for it, beside my other projects, that I am working on.

 

Below I will attach 3 links (2 of them are the maps on JK3 FileFront, that I mentioned about and 1 with the video from the "First Strike Mod"):

1. Hoth-Hangar (by "Lightsaber"): http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/Hoth_Hangar;81380

2. MMG-Hoth (by "Mynok's Mother and Greedo"): http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/MMGHoth;94110

3. Echo Base 2 "First Strike /Battlefield 2142 Mod/" (video from ModDb): http://www.moddb.com/mods/first-strike/videos/hoth-preview-echo-base-2#imagebox

holy wall of text

That was quite a large wall of text you had there. I split it up for you, to make it easier to read.

Topic moved to the requests form.

@@Barricade24 Topic moved to the requests form.

Why did you moved the topic to here in the basic JK stuff, when it's for the maps of "Unleashed 1.5" section, like the "Felucia" if here is where the requests must be posted, than ok I will know for future (thanks in that case).

[Barricade24]

I figured that since that the mod was run specifically by Chalk and not technically and that the request will not likely be part of his mod that it should be moved here to be in its proper place where other authors might have interest.

I'll take a crack at this then. Still trying to fix up Mugs Cosmos map though. That is a royal pain.

I really appreciate all you guys! If I can be somehow helpful in the process of making the map I'll try my best (even that I am only composer)

[+FRivan]

Yeah, I sort of am getting the main hangar done-ish. Its a lot less horrible than...Mugs and Sefs...Oh Gawd, the horrors...Oh Gawd, oh my gawd....God....Please exist.

 

 

Anywhose, yeah. Expect a proper Hoth map...eventually .
