Syloda (GTC vs SWBFC 0.8) by Icemember & RevanSithLord is based off of the Designated Days series but this is one of the only maps that never got released by the original author on ModDB after 11 years of it being released as a beta. The map itself takes place on the planet of Syloda in the city where two Republic teams face off against one another for control of the city and you must be able to complete the objective. The only issue this map has is AI pathing issues at command post 7 and there is a CUSTOM SOUNDTRACK called E Nomine: Black Sun which really ups the intensity of the gameplay. I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR MAKING THIS MAP. ALL CREDIT GOES TO REVANSITHLORD ALONG WITH ANYONE CREDITED IN THE ORIGINAL GAMETOAST POST.
DESCRIPTION IS FROM THE ORIGINAL GAMETOAST POST:
So for a few months, Icemember and I have been tossing around other ideas regarding a different project to work on and for the most part, he has come up with this idea. First it started out being SWBF Custom vs other 'enemies' such as spambot battledroids and the like and random 'Internet' entities, then finally we had both decided that a war between GT and SWBF Custom would be rather epic.
This starting map takes place on Syloda. A once peaceful 'middle' planet now torn by the new war that has been enraging on its surface. What was once a planet reminiscent of Corellia is now essentially burned out building husks and bits of rubble. The city has been split between two sections :the GT section and the SWBF Custom section.
This map/mod series doesn't really mean that our forums are against one another (I've always been a member of both, this mod allows me to fight on both sides, though my 'commander' is on the SWBFC side) - we're more or less envisioning a new kind of 'forum war story'. It's not completely serious - it's more for fun than anything and for community ideas and participation, but does have some 'serious' undertones.
This map I would say is about 98% complete based on what I've played - there's some AI pathing issues and there needs to be some localization, but the balancing is pretty much on par.
This is the trailer I had just rendered today to make up for the lack of screenshot links in the meantime, I'll try and copy over the screenshot urls from Icemember in a few since most are on the other forum.
GT vs SWBF Custom
The Battle of Syloda ignites the devastating war between GT and SWBF Custom. Lephenix and Guru lead the charge.
More information: Both sides have their 'basic' armies employing Phase II Clone Trooper armour and certain ranks/positions have certain colours (GT for now, but SWBFC will have 'rank' lines and patches later) and weapons (both, role-specific).
Soon, certain colours will be used in later maps to show who's legions belong to who.
So far, SWBF Custom has the following legions/divisions/etc prepared for future maps:
RevanSithLord - REV Division
Icemember - ICE Division
TwinkeyRunaway needs to pick out his 3 letter division acronym.
Glitch needs to also pick his (his army will consist of Battledroids, not clones)
That's another thing I need to bring up: NEITHER SIDE ARE LIMITED TO CLONES.
That's right: Your legion, your preferences of models and weapons! This is a mod/map series for the community and hopefully by the community (for both forums). And hopefully an over-arcing story made from both sides will bring it to an even more epic scale!
Originally we thought commanders would be 'limited' to admins and moderators, but I feel as though you should be able to have your own legion then and there, seeing as though from a rank perspective, most people are well past 'sergeant' on both forums by this rate. Besides I feel we shouldn't 'limit' people or say 'no' when it comes to personal legions. Go wild with requests!
Though I would love to ask to keep 'ridiculous' requests down to a minimum. No clowns or out-of-place things (like Spongebob or silly things like that).
Laser colours are also able to be requested. Have a green schemed legion but want you and your legion to fire orange? Sure thing! We aim to bring as much customization to this series as possible! Keep in mind, this will likely take a long time!
Anyways, I'm out for now peeps, hope you enjoy the trailer! Sorry if it's a bit dark in places, I was testing out some new 'cinematic' plugins/effects in my editor. Cheers!
