Hello everyone, here's a map I spent some time working on, it's based on Vjun level from Battlefront: Elite Squadron (though changed a little bit). I really liked the design of it so i decided to bring it to JKA, it contains several ported assets though.
Map names:
vjun_bastcastle - regular
night_vjun_bastcastle - night skybox + alternative lightning
ffa_vjun_bastcastle - Free for all without obj
duel_vjun_bastcastle - duel
Some screenshots:

Objective:
Rebel team: Obtain the security keycard -> deliver it to the control room -> hack the control room panel -> place a bomb at main data storage and wait until detonation (every point is marked with help icons)
Imperial Team: Defend the security keycard and the control room, if Rebels placed a bomb Imperial must defuse it.
Also the map has somewhat of traps against the Rebel team: upon the pickup of keycard the doors of the room will instantly close for 30 seconds and security droids will be activated to kill the Rebels. Same thing happens when Rebels walk through the Security Room.
FA:
Wouldn't say there's many classes but tried to add some variety. Apart from regular rebels there is Col Serra and Renegade Squadron classes for rebels as well as very buffed X2 Jedi, both known from Battlefront games. For Imperials there are Dark Troopers which i tried to make more or less how they are in Legends Lore, X1 Sith from Battlefront as well, some other classes.

Really happy to see a new mapper stepping into form. A lot of people don't realize how much work goes into this, but those who know, know. So, congratulations on making it this far and releasing something beautiful.

Without looking at it yet, my first suggestion would be to remove vehicles and weapon drops, keeping it only for one variant and try to focus on something maybe in the format of: _duel, _veh (vehicles and weapons) and then a standard one. Nothing wrong with more variants but it usually becomes a lot more work long term if you ever need to revise it.

By the looks of it I think we could make it an mb2_cmp map if everyone agreed.
There isn't really much gatekeeping going on with additions of maps as long as the mapper wants it and the assets are organized and optimized and no ported models or copyright issues are within. We mainly want any new contributions to be smart about space and look over the text assets to make sure they don't accidentally break other things. If that all looks fine, it can be greenlit pretty quickly and merged in.

But I'm not sure how much we can add this if it is mainly ported content. If he acquires permission from Rebellion Developments I imagine it could work out?

I understand the no port policy and to be honest I wasn't expecting this work to be officially included in the first place, but let's be realistic here there's no way me or anyone else would get permission from Rebellion Developments or any other mass Software developer to use their assets. Thats okay though, again I'm fine with this just being here for those who want to include it in their custom servers.

Yeah, a bit unfortunate. However, in the future we will have a way for you to distribute it. Mod.IO support is coming, baked into the MBII Launcher. So, keep an eye out for that and try to package your work up for when that time comes!

Please please please let servers set some kind of serverinfo cvar that tells players what mod.io mods are required to join (for maps especially) 🙏

I can't tell exactly just by looking at the pictures, but the map looks a bit large for 5 minutes, perhaps allowing maps or servers to do time modification could be a big help to remove this from consideration when implementing new maps.

The goal (possibly not on initial release) is to have the game communicate with the launcher and auto download server-specific mods from mod.io. Something like what you're thinking will probably be in initially, or at least should be as a response message in the server disconnected reason, but the end goal is that: to be as seamless as possible.
