The Ultimate Jakku Experience...
For Star Wars Battlefront 2005.
The Battle of Jakku was the final large-scale military engagement in the Galactic Civil War that took place in the year 5 ABY, only a year and four days after the Battle of Endor. During the waning months of the conflict, Counselor Gallius Rax assumed control of the Galactic Empire and concentrated much of its remaining forces on Jakku, an Inner Rim desert world where the Empire would make its last stand against the New Republic.
Install by putting the “JKU” file into your Gamedata/Addon folder.
Have any suggestions or found bugs… let me know
Firstly, this is a really great update! My biggest issue with the original Jakku was it always felt like you were travelling over a lot of empty space, and there weren't enough command posts. The improved layout feels much better. The textures also look like they've been improved, and the new sky dome is beautiful.
A few bugs/issues I noticed:
- first, and the biggest one for me, your file size is still way too big! From what I can see, only the stock IMP darktrooper, and REP jet trooper (and maybe officer?) have been replaced. So you don't really need a full copy of all the stock sides. If you want to make sure you're not missing any files, just only include the units your changing in your overall REQ files. I normally end up just deleting your side folders because I don't have the space for them and that's a shame.
- speaking of sides, your readme mentions Iden Versio and Ackbar, but they're not in the map, is this a mistake?
- there's no background or victory/defeat music for either era
And a couple suggestions:
- the hangar doors that still open and close dotted around the map without a frame is a bit odd feeling
- for such a big map, a slightly larger unit count wouldn't hurt
I still love your maps though, easily some of my favourites to come out in recent times, and this is a great step up from the original version!
I’ll look into the music and side reduction, new sky texture takes quite a bit of space up as well…
As for the readme, forgot to update it to this version
Unit count was higher originally but it causes way too many model issues to warrant having it
It’s the same custom sound file that sullust in remaster uses so I’ll see if that bug is there too
Fair enough, makes sense with the unit count and the readme. For the sound, it could be either that the stock sound file and the custom sound file need to be loaded the other way around in the lua, or it could simply be the stock sound file loaded doesn’t match the sounds referenced later in the lua (ie you’re readdatafile is coruscant but sounds at the end are looking for tatooine)
Most of your issues are now fixed, just need to see what I can do for you about the doors
First of all, the music does not play at all, only on vehicles or with heroes. Also, I think the Imperial Jettrooper should have, well, a jetpack function xd. Also I miss old Ackbar hero, but not sure if something can be done about it. Overall, the map has a very good layout but needs tweaking on those issues xc.
Same happens on the Illum map.
Fixed all of those issues, just waiting too see if there’s any more before releasing an update
I agree that the isolated doors opening randomly and the file size and such is annoying, but ultimately, this is very fun, and I very much enjoy it. thank you for your work
Cheers, doors are now fixed and size is always being worked on, wish it was easier though
They way i do it is i just go into the side folder and delete all the msh and tga files i dont need, as those are by far the biggest file size compared to odfs and stuff. Then i munge, and if i deleted something i needed and it crashes i just restore that file. Even if i need to do
that 5 or 6 times, it's still faster than going through and checking each file individually to see if i need it
V1.1 OUT NOW, MANY BUG FIXES, SIZE REDUCTION AND TURRETS
"Why does everyone want to go back to Jakku?"
I guess we will never know, wish we saw it in live action… the battle of course
True! It would've been so epic! What we got in BF2017 was epic, but it wasn't enough.
New version out, walker goes the right way now and added some special secret stuff
Very nice map
Love the improvements! Who made the imperial jet trooper you used?
That would be Gogie, talented modeller that taught me basically everything I needed to know
Where scarif :(
Been away for a while but it’s basically finished so when I get back it will be out soon after
YESssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!
Small nitpick suggestion but i wish the downed spaceships didn't have light coming from them as if they were still working, like the engines on some crashed spaceships.
what version is all three?
What do you mean what version are they? They don’t have version numbers, not anymore at least
By far the best Jakku map mod of all time. Just a little suggestion, add fighters to the map, because Jakku is well know for its aerial engagements
Sorry not got access to my files anymore so no more updates to jakku
