I'm sure some of you may have noticed the Extra server is running a map you have never heard of before.
Starwars_trench_a1 is the alpha test version of a new starwars map I'm making. This is NOT a new version of an old map, I am making this from scratch. I'm not going to give away too much at this time.
Here are few things to whet your appetites:
- It's a Star Wars theme. Based in the 4th episode, Star Wars, A New Hope". The name of the map should give you another clue...
- There is going to be at least one new vehicle (the rumor going around is that it is an X-wing) I will post a screenshot as soon as I can to dispel any rumors….
- It will be a pretty big map (start upgrading your computers now! Just kidding, I am trying to make it playable by all)
- Room for 32 players.
- Designed for low gravity. But also playable in regular gravity. Look for those places that you can only get to with low gravity (or jetpack, hook mod will never be on my servers!)
- A mission objective. Someone gets to blow Sh*t UP!
- Arsenal/Ammo rooms of course! Money is no object.
- Towers. Am I giving away too much?
- Secret rooms? Muahahaaaa
- Nades. In convenient places. Convenient for who?
- Sniper heaven. Oh no! Still no AWP on my servers, but elsewhere.....
- Cool sounds. (Well I like them!!)
Ok that is more than enough for now. I hope it lives up to all of your expectations.
The release plan is as follows:
Versions will be named with a designation at the end.
_a = alpha version
_b = beta version open to public.
1 - 9 after the _a or _b = the subversions i.e starwars_trench_a1 is the first version of the Alpha test.
First the alpha testing for scale, playability, features, major glitches etc..
This will most likely be Admins only or by invite.
The beta will be opened to the public sort of. I will post a password in the forums. If you play on the beta server please participate in the forum for it. I will need all the feedback I can get, good, bad and the ugly! You can all help to make this the most interesting and fun starwars map to come out in a while. Also if anyone knows (or how to reach) the author of the original maps [-THK-]G-Man, I would love to talk to him.
Finally, the final version, hopefully will be bug free and loads of fun.
There is no release date, I will work on it as much as I can… And release it when ready.
That's it for now. Keep checking back for more info.
