The Mandalorian Games is the "Hunger Games" themed map I've been working on. This is the Multiplayer version of the map. As you can imagine, it took tons of work and workarounds to get this to work in a way that I find decent.
Difference between Multi and Singleplayer versions:
In Multiplayer all the players will spawn on the pedestals but in Singleplayer every player will spawn in a different place (to keep the AI from slaughtering eachother in one place.) The Singleplayer version may be better for Multi and Single but oh well.
Story:
The Mandalorians have gone to a remote jungle to determine the next Mand'Alore. Many Mandos were nominated for this fight but only ONE can win! If you have not watched the Hunger Games then it will be kind of hard to explain this map. Basically, everyone spawns in one place and has to run into the jungle and kill the rest of the contestants. The cornucopia ( http://www.tiltfactor.org/wp-content/uploads2/hunger-games-cornucopia-e1349903184561.jpg (http://www.tiltfactor.org/wp-content/uploads2/hunger-games-cornucopia-e1349903184561.jpg) made by Sereja) is there with health and ammo bots, but that area is in the open and you will be easily killed!
Unit Analysis:
Contestant 1
Black Lightsaber
Bow&Arrow (1 quiver-full)
Jet Pack
Contestant 2
Weequay Axe
Bow&Arrow (1 quiver-full)

No Jet Pack
Contestant 4
Bow&Arrow (2 quiver-fulls)
Knife

P.S. Watch out for Jungle Talz!
The pictures look awesome! Great job Snake! I can't wait to play it!
Ill be the victor from Teth! Haha!
This is why I love the SWBFGamers Community. The Multiplayer may be dead for some (cause they don't/can't install Tunngle or GameRanger), but the mods always keep you entertained if you play SinglePlayer! :D
Thanks guys! The link has been added. I have been having trouble with SWBFGamers again so it's uploaded to Mediafire. Singleplayer mode will be released soon!

A .rar file. WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE A .RAR FILE!!! :rant:
No offense, I prefer .zip files. I don't have winrar or 7zip (I use Vista) :P
Get the free StuffIt app.

Eh, I guess I will just use GoodReader on my ipad to unrar it and seend it to myself as a .zip file instead. :P

My free trial on Winzip ran out so I can't do any other kind of file.. :P
Well that works too. But for the future you should get StuffIt expander. It opens everything! :)
Use Windows built in compression programs or do what us smart people do and use http://www.7-zip.org/ (http://www.7-zip.org/).
Wait, this is for multiplayer, I just remembered! :slap:
I will wait for the singleplayer. :P

This works for singleplayer too. The problem is the ai slaughter eachother around the starting point. But it's still fun to do 1 vs. a lot of jungle Talz. :P
thats so cool :o

Will there be a version optimized for single player? The topic title implies there will be.

Yes, I am working on it now. However, there seems to be an unfixable problem that makes the player invincible. :(

ohh my thats odd
Well it's because it's free for all mode but in single player your team can't hurt you.
Fantastic map by the way. And isn't the games free-for-all anyway?
Really nice map. I like the placement of flora and foliage.

Your own teams AI can never hurt you by shooting you.

That's why I spawn at the only green cp ;)
This map is great :) Can't wait for the single player mode to come out. Have you tried making all the Mandos locals to fix it?
I have a question (or more of a problem):
Maybe it's just my computer being funny, but whenever I go to try this in Multiplayer (I tried in SP first and it did work) just to work my way around with no AI, my game crashes. Every time. I have no clue what could be causing this because my other levels work, I reextracted the folder and placed it in 2 different BF folders (modding and original). I can see the Mandalorian image and then I crash. I have all my visual settings on low (but SP still works, like I said), and no AI, no heroes, etc. Any clues, anyone?

Yeah, that is probably what I'll have to do, which could take a while. Hmm.. I have no idea. It should work fine in multiplayer, I've played it in MP before. Do you have any mods on?

It's an easter egg that Sleepkiller requested for some pointless fun.

I felt sure that I turned them all off (its in my "everything stock or should be" BF folder) but I'll go through and try everything. I can't possibly think of what is wrong... maybe I'll have to try a redownload
My multiplayer crashed as well, but instant action works (https://www.swbfgamers.com/Smileys/macx/tu.gif)
Brill map Snake!

mabye if you re-install the game
That's very strange.. I'll try to figure it out.
I'm running Vista 64 bit (yes, Vista is awful, but it suffices. Nice specs too). I can also try on my Windows 7 laptop and old XP sitting around.
I wonder why this is happening? I'm redownloading it.
crashes for me too, pretty sure it's because of the ewok because when I added units with their real odf and stuff the maps were crashing aswell.

Bingo. I will upload the fixed version as soon as I can.
Crashing because of odf files??? That's weird must be bugged.
I think that the Multiplayer mode is confused when it comes to objects that are units at the same time. You set the number of units, say to 0 (for no AI). The level reads a file that contradicts that (because that Ewok thing is classified as a unit technically), so what happens? Crash.
And 1 AI won't fix the problem, because even though it is a unit, what team does it fall under?
Edit:
Fix for this (until a new version comes out without the Ewok):
Go to the hunger2.lvl file in a hex editor
Hit "Find" or "Search" and type in "end_inf" (no quotes). Scroll up slightly and you will see
BASE....soldier.TYPE....ewk_inf.
Go over to the hex side and put zeroes (00) in for 65776B5F696E66 which is "ewk_inf" on the text side.
The game will then load in multiplayer. But don't expect to be able to use it online unless everyone uses it.
Once again, thank you for this awesome level Snake.
