Maps included in part
one of my three part map pack:
----------------------------------------------------

The invisible hand (Palpatines rescue)

Palpatines office complex (Palpatines arrest)

----------------------------------------------------

The invisible hand:

I am sure you will all have seen the last ever star wars movie, and if like me, you will agree
it was pretty bloody amazing, my fav of the new movies, and its easily as good as the OT.

So The invisible hand is the space ship that features at the start of the movie, and show Obi and Ani
mounting a rescue of Palpatine, I made the map using screenshots of the game and sets of the movie, since
I did the structural work on the map before I saw the movie, there are a few inaccuracies but nothing I can sort
for a version 2 sometime.

There are a few areas in this map and they are as follows:

1) The main observation room
2) Hallways leading to the observation room
3) A small passageway to the rear of the observation room, leading to an office
4) A set of lifts, that work fine when used by one person, but will create a lot of fun when used with many :)
one of these lifts is broken and you can climb up or down the shaft.
5) The lower deck hallway leads to the hanger but will also lead to network of fuel pipes underneath the hanger,
these pipes are a must, if you are to escape from the trap that can be found in the hanger ;)
6) A battle outside in the skybox, you cant get out there (or you are not supposed to) however I am sure
if you do go outside, you will find room to fly about, but the map is not intended for that (go get Hatruss map for that)

I hope you enjoy the Invisible hand as much as i enjoyed watching it in the movie :) (I was going to say as much as i enjoyed making it,
but it got on my nerves in the end!!)

--------------------------------------------------

Palpatines office complex

This map was an area i just had to make, I had thought about it after seeing it in the other movies, but when I found out there was a
going to be an important scene there, featuring Mace, Ani and Palpatine, I couldnt resist it. Again if you have seen the movie, you will notice
that I tried to be as accurate as possible, all of the windows are breakable with a saber, most of the funiture can be moved about with force powers,
there is a secret are in this map thats pretty easy to find, but was fun to add. (I made this map overscale so there was more room to fight)

The office complex is a small map and is best for dueling, although it does support ffa also. I did make an outside area to this map, but decided to save it
for the coruscant map that I have been working on which will include padmes apartment, the opera house and many other coruscant places maybe even including
the Jedi temple.

There are two versions of this map included, one has the animated skybox, but because it uses an area portals and many shaders, it will decrease the fps on some
lower spec systems, so I included a second version that has a non animated skybox, this version runs much smoother on lower spec pc's.

-------------------------------------------------

I have included some screenshots of the next part of my Star wars episode III map pack series, so I hope you enjoy those :)

Thanks to all of my beta testers of the Invisible hand.
