Description:
Firstly, I'd like to apologize to he creator and community for the delay with these files being uloaded. I had a problem with my connection to the filefront server that last oh about...2 weeks.
This is a map I played a while before it was submitted and it is one of if not THE most professional maps submitted here for SWBF2 yet. It takes place is a sort of underground tomb that was facilitated for research. Things I liked? Let's start with...The cave wampas. In one area of the map there is a network of underground tunnels. To be expected from such a map. However these tunnels hold more thanjust dirt. Glowing crystals light the way and beasts are soliciting around every corner. Running through the confined spaces to the sound of monsters ravaging your team mates in the distance. Inspiring.
There is also a rom with the bones of a colo claw fish(long nosed thing from episode 1 when they were in the gungan sub) including a big skull. There is a hallway with the wals and floors spiraling into each other, a pyramid, and an atrarium full o' Acklays.
Best part of it all, this was a first map.
Unfortunately, the email which likely had the authors name in it was deleted and it isn't anywhere in the readme. If anyone can find out orif even the author is present leave a message and I will fix it.
-K.

Here's my first map, Ancient Research Facility
There's no specific story behind this. I'll leave it up to you to use your imagination.
Final Version includes:
- Conquest
- 1-Flag CTF
- 2-Flag CTF
- Hero Assault
- Hunt - The Rebel's side has tamed the Acklay and it will help in the battle against the Wampa.
- Acklay and Cave Wampa locals
- All indoor but with a wide variety of rooms allowing for close combat as well as long distance.
- fx including steam, fireflies, glow, and godrays.
- Minimap
Known issues:
- In multiplayer, Acklay will show up on one of the teams on the stats page, but only on client side, not on host. I'm unsure if this is even fixable.
- Once in a while the team spawning on the pyramid at the beginning of the round in conquest will show them as having the Arboretum CP as well, but if you try to spawn there, it will spawn you at the pyramid anyway. This is also in multiplayer, and only on the client side.
-In hunt, Acklay freaks out if you tell him to follow you, and will spaz out and push you around..possibly through walls so you will fall to your death. This is a combo file issue that AFIK noone has a solution to. Best advised not to try to have him follow. But he is a great body guard if you just stand under him and let him take care of Wampa :wink:
- I tried adding deathregions in places where wallhackers might get, but droidekas are just too sensitive to them. Their proximity for deathregions to destroy them is much greater than every other character, making it nearly useless to have deathregions in small areas. I only have blanket deathregions below the map (which will take care of about 90% of allhacks, since you just fall to your death), and one above the entire map, in case there are jettroopers that somehow try to fly above the map.
This is the final version, feel free to distribute.
Thanks for the help:

Boba fett: Same way you'd install any map. Move ARF to the addon folder. |

Posts: 16 | Yep, this one's mine. I'm glad you all like it! It is a first map, but I'm far from inexperienced in the world of 3D, so that helps. Took right around 3 months to complete. It actually started out as a different map, but I found out that AI don't like crossing palnning paths, so I had to redesign it. Evidently I was reading stealth1991's mind  |

Posts: 9 | its so weird that we had the same idea....
one of my favorite things in this game is tunnel battles and i loved the tunnel area but make the "cave wampas" was a great idea
try and make a map with all tunnel and only a few little rooms
oh! and having lots of rooms with different speices in it... |

The BEST MAP EVER!
I love Mustafar and Bespin: Cloud City and a bunch of others, but this is better than all of them together! I will be hosting a dedicated server of this as much as possible. I will have one running by the time that this comment is created. The game will be called: Research Facility
NOTE: I will be hosting on the dedicated server for SWBF2 v1.1, NOT v1.0 |

I noticed that there was only one Acklay spawned at a time, and that there were also Acklay eggs in that cave in the corner... If there's only one Acklay, does it mean that it was breading with the Wampa?.... |

I would download this map right now! But I wont because...THOSE ACKLAYS ARE REALLY SCARY!!! I hate Acklays! They scare me...Im even having nightmares with them!I once played Star Wars Galaxies.And I was in a party in some kind of facility on a meteorin space.And I agreed with my mates to help a guy make a mission with killing don't know who's pet,so I followed the leader,killed some monsters there then in one chamber when I was killing monsters with some mates the leader and the guy with the mission went in the nearby room where the pet was.And when they saw it they realized they wont stand a chance alone so they ran back but the creature followed them! And OMG when I saw it I almost had a heart attack It was huge! Tall to the top of the room(and belive me that was really a big room).I realized that the "pet" was really an Acklay! But I didnt had too much time for thinking...because it was coming after me! So I ran back to the space terminal and flew away from that cursed asteroid.
I really wish I wouldnt be scared of anything so that I can play this map.
Anyway nice work 10/10 |

I have noticed that there are red ammo and blue health packs but there are also yellow green and brown what do they do? I noticed sometimes you can pick up yellow ones but not very often. They also don't do anything to your score. I wonder if anyone knows? |

Really big compliment .. and as first map it's even more awesome |

Posts: 40 | First map? You've gotta be &^*%$&* kidding me....
This is easily among my top 5 maps, and I've tried about 100 of them by now. The varied terrain is outstanding- tunnels, wide open rooms, good sniper spots, elevated roosts, all kinds of ways to play. And it all looks really nice too, you'll see reminders of levels like the Death Star and Kamino interiors and not think it looks out of place. In addition, the file size is totally manageable.
It's a wee bit large- you won't have trouble finding opponents but when numbers dwindle the action will definitely start slowing down, unlike some maps. But when the map looks as good as this does, and is this fun to play, I wouldn't change a thing.
I can't imagine anyone disliking this wonderfully creative map. 10/10 |
