If there's anyone here who's not seen Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, I'd be really rather surprised. As such, Koolaid7g's Naboo: Theed Hangar should be intimately familiar to you. From the hangar itself where Amidala and co. made a run for her personal transport, to the hallway where they had a standoff with battledroids, to the large generator room and surrounding area where Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Darth Maul had their Duel of the Fates, it's all here.
I don't usually gush over maps, but this one deserves it. Very few maps ever achieve this level of quality, and when one does, it's definitely worth noting. Koolaid has done a large amount of modeling and some superb texture work (see the windowed corridor, especially), and the result is a highly detailed, movie-accurate Theed hangar. He's even thrown in a couple of Easter eggs for those with the patience to find them.
Gameplay is not lost, either. Conquest mode is well-done, and provides for an enjoyable battle that doesn't have to drag on for too long. The sides are nicely done and fit just right into the map. Assault mode is also fun. Since it's set up for a single player vs. a single player (i.e. Darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan), don't expect this one to be a very quick play. However, it's definitely fun online, since it's only ever one-on-one - and the generator room makes for a great (didn't the movie show us this anyway ;) ) dueling area.
This map is definitely worth downloading. I rarely keep user-created maps for long (I only have one that's not my own), but this one is definitely staying in my addon folder. Worth a shot whatever your tastes may be.
(A quick tip: I've tried this online a couple of times, and I found that while it's not completely stable, it does seem to work semi-consistently at the default online settings. Assault is more stable than conquest, but both can work.)

Well folks, this is it! After two years of work, my map is finally done! I'd like to thank eveyone at Gametoast who helped and commented, especially: OOM-9 xwingguy Vyse minilogoguy18 psych0fred Lord-Bandu Gogie Xavious Murdocr trainmaster611 JabbaLovesLava t551t551 Rends Protector_Pulch lemonfrenzy123 FragMe! I'd also like to thank my BETA testers, who helped fine-tune the more subtle details!: Darth_Z13, Clonedude55, bantha55, trainmaster611, Caleb1117, HobGoblin_264, Hebes24, AlexSecura, Blasphemy , Challenger33 EGG_GUTS And, of course, Pandemic, George Lucas, Gametoast and Softimage! ----------------------------------------------------- As an aside: I have never played the Jedi Academy Naboo map! I've never even seen it, nor the test map that Bandu had out a long while back. *** THIS IS MY OWN MAP AND OF MY OWN DESIGN! *** The only reason the maps look similar is because they are all modeled off of the Naboo Hangar from the movies. Saying I copied someone else because our maps look geographically similar is like saying you copied someone else's sketch of Charlie Brown. Both sketches are based off of Schultz's work. ---------------------IMPORTANT!--------------------- If you wish to host my mod, email me! DO NOT HOST/ POST ON OTHER SITES WITHOUT MY CONSENT! DO NOT HACK MY MAP EITHER, as the models used are not available for individual distribution! ---------------------IMPORTANT!--------------------- -Koolaid7g
