Certainly in some aspects they are aesthetically improved, but heavily disturbed in others. While there is a greater variety of textures, objects, etc. on the map they don't all fit together in the same theme.

Almost all the textures and objects are from basejka or basejko imperial texture sets. The added textures were color matched almost exactly to the region they were added to corresponding to the textures present in the old lunarbase. They definitely all fit the same theme. But if something is a little off, its pretty much all on ravensofts side texture wise. There are some things I still want to tweak a little though.

The greater amount of complex objects, like ships, isn't always so good, as they aren't properly optimised in MB2, have strange collision boxes and their textures are distorted and blurry. Certain objects also look way too bright for their environment and really stand out in a bad way, like that ship in main, while other objects and parts of the map look out of place, as they are just dropped in there into the old map and don't really fit, or are parts of the old map in the new environment.

The ship isn't really a problem outside of lighting / texture quality but again its a basejka ship. I wanted to improve it before release but I think that would have required some additional effort than just modifying the shader so I decided to avoid it for now.

Also, those mountains outside of the main hangar look really ugly and blurry, you should place that old blue force wall on that hangar entrance to mask them.

Or I could just redo the outside and not put that forcefield back that makes no sense when you see other imperial hangars.

And that new screen or window at Imp spawn looks ugly when you are far away from it, as it is just black then, like there is a void of nothing behind it, and it suddenly appears when you move closer.

Performance optimization and bug fix. Its physically drawing the other area, but waiting till you're closer to draw it helps out a bit. It also prevents this bug:
CameraPortals - Create, Discover and Share Awesome GIFs on Gfycat

theres too many boxes everywhere.

But I thought people liked boxes

I like Dxun a lot. I think Gumba is a wrong person who is wrong.

I concur, I think dxun is really fun, outside of the sniping spam but that is a problem with mb2 and not the map.

mace i do like boxes but theres too many of them!!! *VC off*

 

[RC-Delta]

Sniping spam is v e r y fun

 

[Lessen]

Sniping spam is v e r y fun

I'm really curious whether this is sarcasm. I can imagine a certain kind of person really enjoying All Snipers On Dxun.

I feel like there is too much variety now, if there was too little before. For example, the generator area now looks out of place from the rest of the room.

 

[Tempest]

Be on the watch for dev diary post(s).

 

[MaceMadunusus]

For example, the generator area now looks out of place from the rest of the room.

Intentional design choice to highlight the generator itself.

 

[President Bossk]

Replace with this instead:

Edit: Thought you were talking about dotf, nvm.

Windows XP for life.

 

[Shape]

The new Death Trooper model is fantastic, the voice lines for it are amazing as well. Loving the update so far great work.

 

[MuscBodypillow]

mace i do like boxes but theres too many of them!!! *VC off*

I mean it's probably the most closed quarter map that we have( ignoring smuggler). This is good for ambushed and sneaky playstyle. The box could be simply reogranized and it would be fine, but this is an issue on the use of props/items. Do you go for realism or gameplay.

But in general I like the modifications done to lunarbase.

 

[Ostra]

Will we have Crait map?
With Crait Luke model?

i do agree with you but maybe more organized and less boxes though other than that map is cool.

 

[ANALKIN]

too bad no one will play these because all the populated servers are 24/7 dotf or deathstar
(which are cancer and should be banned from mb2)

 

[Gumba]

too bad no one will play these because all the populated servers are 24/7 dotf or deathstar
(which are cancer and should be banned from mb2)

you must have cancer in the eyes then because every server had one of the changed/new maps on since the update came out

 

[foggy]

Lunar is not getting enough love. the map is absolutely stunning
sometimes i cant even understand whether i am playing MB2 or roblox

\Rant

Oh dear, I'm a tad late to the party, aren't I? Anyway, time for an opinion ('cause EVERYONE loves those)
First of all: Removing pit access from star forge isn't something i'll be thanking ya for anytime soon, It was the perfect place to go when the topside of the map was too crowded for dueling in reliably. This honestly kills star forge as a duel map in my opinion unless it's a low population server.

Second:
"Fix: Death Star
Blocked off hanging pillars to remove timewasting places"
Hearing Mandalorians be like:

Third: "
Change: Starkiller Base (mb2_starkiller_base)

• Added a warning on the bridge to return to the objective, if the player ignores this warning and continues further down the bridge they will take damage."

This was actually a very useful defensive spot for snipers for defending the final obj, it's going to be a lot harder to defend final objective with a sniper rifle now :c

Also, are the star fighters necessary to have in the duel variant of DOTF? I'm getting some FPS issues now that I didn't have in the past.

/Rant

 

[2cwldys]

I believe on Dxun (whichever was the TOR / Kotor Map) , you can use sense in the large center area and see everyone on the map as it is the largest portion of the map.

 

[Gumba]

This was actually a very useful defensive spot for snipers for defending the final obj, it's going to be a lot harder to defend final objective with a sniper rifle now :c

No it wasn't. There is no cover there and no space to move around. Meaning that anybody with half a braincell can easily spray you down with an e11 while you sit there trying to do anything

 

[{Δ} Achilles]

No it wasn't. There is no cover there and no space to move around. Meaning that anybody with half a braincell can easily spray you down with an e11 while you sit there trying to do anything

So what was the purpose then to making that section of the map entirely unplayable?
