I finished the rendering of my short, very short, movie.
It'll take you through the biggest section of my canyon.
Note that there still some mistakes in the model and I know they're there
Aswell those blue boxes, those represent NPCs, they're there for getting sizes right.
This is ofcourse a lower quality for the intrawebz, saddly that means grains in the image
Where are you planning on making the entry for the new modules? I was going to recommend the back of the Shyyrak (sp?) caves but then I thought of the fact that once you get the Star Map on Korriban you can't get to those caves anymore.
Are you one of those poor Macintosh gamers that are in the possession of Empire at War, yet because of the scarcity of Mac players out there you have nobody to play against? If you are, PM me if you want to set up a game.
Thank you, all you nice people! Its makes it worth doing these things
@Daos300: The connection to the canyon will happen via a Landspeeder=> a cheap trick to warp Since I had so much fun creating this little movie, I should be able to to a short interlude with a landspeeder blasting across the Korriban wastes.
Well, another minor update, the first little section of the canyon is in the game!
Took all day to finish up the last bits and then to prepare a mesh as the Walkmesh.
Now the walkmesh is a really annoying bugger of a mesh, I've been toying with a second part of the canyon, but alas it seemed to have shifted to the right a bit and I couldn't reach it... dang!
Well thats life for an area modeller, redo, redo, redo, did I say I need to redo stuff.
But here's something to feast your eyes on, the lighting sucks cause it looks more like midnight now and I forgot to put in some custome made textures... yada yada, its WIP!
That looks awesome Quanon! I would be okay with a "midnight canyon"
I, for one, approve of the Ewoks. They're a fine representation of the primitive natives doing better in their own environment than the invading white man.
Take that, Avatar.

Got more ingame shots for you folks, each bit of my area is getting in game.
As said before I had to do some wrestling with the walkmeshes, yes, there's more then one of those blasted buggers!
Anyway, as often in modding, keep trying and in the end you get what you want. Thus so far, I got 4 parts in the game.
Here some shots to feast upon:
Show spoiler
The sky is black cause I haven't added a skybox yet, there still some odd mistakes here and there. But the main goal at the moment are my walkmeshes, once those are okay, I'll hunt down the other bugs
Wow Quanon, great progress on that canyon. It's gonna be amazing ingame. What is that thing in the first 2 screenies? Also, is that mission in the first 2 pics? if so, is that a modded appearance?
Very nice! About a thousand times better than I thought it would be.

"I've barely eaten anything for many decades now. It feels like my stomach shriveled into my back........though i don't have a stomach or back because i'm a skeleton! Yohohohoho! SKULL JOKE!"
"My eyes have never seen such a pretty woman! But i'm a skeleton so my eyes don't see much."
Well, I've been fighting with the emitters.
The emitters create all kind of neat effects: sparks, mist, fire... etc.
Though now I wanted them to create a nice haze/mist for my waterfall.
Been checking the Dantooine models, to get my info and settings, but "GRRRRRRRRRR"!
Kotor1 wasn't really into doing it good, had to do endless tweaking and now I still need to be content with what I get out of it... it's not really how I like it, but'll have to do. Lost to much time on this rubbish >_>
Anyway, I've added the last important bit, a skybox and some extra lights.
Here some shots to show the results. There's still some work to do, like getting the waterfall texture more smooth in its animation. And kill off some texture strectching. And fix the lights, at the moment the light purple one is to strong
This is amazing. I have to admit, Quanon, I wasn't too interested at first, but that waterfall really sold it. I'll definitely download it, and I don't download many mods.
I sort of finished the canyon, well 99%, just that blasted waterfall I'm not fully content of. But I can't be bothered at the moment and before I loose steam I need to push forward.
Though I'm not alone on this mod, Marius has kindly offered to edit the .mod file and bring some extra life to the canyon. Well Marius, wasn't the only one offering help, Canderis, might become my slave aswe... wait, my partner to
Anyway, work on the city part has begun, I've got a sort of mini map droodle to guide me, some other sketches and ideas to actually contruct buildings easly and then to add damage to them. A work I believe that'll take quite some time to do nicely.
So, I've done a tower model, a gate model and a section of for the outer walls I can now copy/paste endlessly
Some shots of these:

I hope everyone gets a Sith feeling with these.
And thanks for all the kind replies!

Quanon your work is.....I don't know I can't find words for it. UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME
