NABOO HILLS version 2.0
by Darth Zappa
May 6, 2004
This is a vehicle warfare map on a large open hilly area. It is good for general FFA, team FFA and CTF games, and also supports duel and powerduel games.
There is a base with vehicles, weapons and ammo in each far corner of the map. In a CTF or TFFA game, the teams will each start at one of these bases. In FFA mode players will start at the gazebo building next to the lake. use the eopie spawning station nearby to get transportation to the far bases. scattered throughout the map are stations with health, shields, ammo and other vehicles.
Although the map is somewhat symetrical, the layouts of the two bases are quite different. Some people like this sort of thing for CTF games, some hate it. CTF support was shoe-horned in at the last minute and may have some problems; your mileage may vary. Bot-routing support is also included and is of questionable quality; the bots wont drive the vehicles anyhow, so their route will stay around the gazebo area.
Naboo base - weapons, powerups, N-1 Starfighter, combat swoops
Trade fed base - weapons, powerups, hailfire, droideka, speeders
Additional vehicle types are available at the powerup stations throughout the map. Each of the orange console switches in the map spawns a vehicle of some sort. Not all vehicles perform well in water; mind the lake.
Due to the large number of vehicles in this map, you will find that you can't spawn any new ones on here unless you are running a mod that allows for more vehicles on both the client AND server sides. Don't try it, you'll just crash.
If you are missing textures on the ground, then remove the pre-release jedicouncilgc and forest sanctuary maps from your base folder, as well as any
other maps that have been converted from JK2 to JKA. There is a problem with
the way some folks are converting their older maps that causes a texture conflict. The only solution is to remove the offending maps from the your base folder.

Installation
------------
Before installing any of the naboohills2 files, first remove *ALL* other vehicle pk3s and vehicle-related map pk3s from your base folder. This includes vehicles from previous versions of this map. the stap_mst_10.pk3 in particular is now redundant. Also, remove any older versions of this map.
Once you've done that, put everything in the 'put_all_this_in_base' folder into your base folder.If you dont have any other vehicles or maps with built-in custom vehicles (like KOTOR flight) in there, then everything should be fine. After that, you can take out individual vehicle pk3 files if you want to remove certain custom vehicles (they wont spawn from the buttons then.)
All the vehicles must be on the server for all the switches to function properly.
The 'read me' files for all the original vehicles are included in a separate folder.

Misc. Notes
-----------
- Changes From 1.2 version
- skybox from dotf (thanks shadriss)
- added droideka, gunship, more swoops, eopie; removed atst, rancor, tauntauns
- map area now twice as big (perhaps too big now), new trade fed. base position
- CTF support and bot-routing (sort of)
- larger area of view (fps suffers a bit)
- replaced tauntauns with faster eopies
- re-arranged powerup stations
- other minor tweaks and such
- Stuff That Needs Fixin'
- better looking trade federation drop ship(s)
- guns and turrets on the trade federation drop ship; possibly an additional drop ship.
- better lookin terrain and detailing in general
(use some textures from the dotf pack, different plants etc)
- siege? perhaps.
- the lake water is 'clear' when you are inside it, not blue. this is an unfortunate side-effect
of extending the visible distance. I am trying to fix this, but its rather complicated.
- Wish List (stuff i would like to add to this map, but doesn't exist yet)
- Trade federation AAT battle tank (currently under construction)
- Trade federation fighter plane thingies (ones that walk too. hey, why not.)
- Lasers on the gunship (currently under construction, or so they say)
- I can't add nearly as many trees as i would like to. I had to take quite a few out; i hit some sort of limit.
- I would like to replace the eopies with the galactic-buttock-ass-cows of naboo.
I realize this will never happen. instead perhaps...
- gungan ridable beasts, possibly with special blue bouncing ball attacks
- In a perfect world, i would like this map to have episode 1 and/or naboo-specific vehicles only.
- For lots of great movie character skins and other vehicle models go to www.jedimoves.com
- darth maul, obi-wan, qui-gon, battledroid, gungan, mace windu skins and much more
