SWTOR: Dromund Kaas Stronghold Map

[DarthValeria]

I'm still a rookie at mapping
But I always wanted to make a map of Dromund Kaas SH from swtor
It's still in Beta but at least brushes and miterings look fine I believve
Tell me what do you think dear friends!


(Images are gone, will be updated down below later!)

Looking good so far (for a chalk mockup XD) - just keep in mind dekas need to fit through those narrow doors you might need to widen those a bit.

Are you going to decorate it now? Or do the objectives first?

Now, I'm working on my own decorations at the moment but I'm having some shader and light problems

What kind of problems?

Check this tutorial for shaders to be used as local lights:

light emitting shader

I also advise you to use a "key" ambient and "value" 20 in your worldspawn. It will help to combat really dark shadow spots.
As for lightning coming from the windows you could make your own skybox that emits light aswell. You can find it here:

Now the hardest work has begun in Dromund Kaas Stronghold Map
Adding decorations ❤

Looks like a location I could just chill in with some places there, me like.

Dromund Kaas Map is 90% complete, now all i need is to add more details and decorations

Though map seems fully completed to me. I'm not sure what to do, any suggestions? ^_^

Is there no way to have a better view outside perhaps another wall that looks like the sky with rain effects?

looks really pretty. for the outside area, with the statue of ragnos, would a helipad or some sort of landing pad decor be good for the large pad?

and here comes the part where I try to convince you to add more places for mandos to hide; could it be cool to allow everyone to get up on top of the satellite dish and a small amount of the surrounding top of the building, but have boundaries for behind it so nobody can take full cover up there?

It's possible, i just couldnt find a perfect skybox for Kaas but i will

Sorry I've been away for too long and I'm afraid I have bad news
I was formatting my pc and I forgot to take backups for Dromund Kaas map
The files are gone unfortunately, I'll try to remake it again but it may take time

But good news is, Fury Interceptor map is almost complete
Interior 95% finished
Exterior 70% finished

Sorry for the data loss (and for the above video that was my inner IT unleashing for a second x_x), I highly urge a free Dropbox account to store the map files on going forward or something that auto cloud backs up (OneDrive would also work), I have everything going back to 2004 mapwise there for these occasions x_x
