| Idea for next version of jedi academy map | |

Ok, im not sure if there is a room with such a thing already, but if there isn't I would really like to see it in the newer version. On a map we use to play alot on the xbox for training.. there was this double ring near the cieling they you culd get on my jumping off the doorway arch ( total of two jumps) we woould duel up there and if you fell off, you simply took the damage and came back up without picking healing up on your way (besides no force powers allowed in the whole thing) also traveling ina perfect circle while jumping back and forth between teh two circles was good movement training. Also the gaps were jsu the right size that with proper technique you could roll across it without falling down, which was another form of training. It was really cool since its was not a place were you normally fight, but when you found it, it was awesome... especially when someoen is dueling beneath you and they don't even notice you two duking it out above them... except when you fall off. (which is never a problem when someone is dueling below, or never has been) The map that had the same tile set as the jedi burrial lvl in single player is the map im refering to and if you cuold add the double ring thing to any of the rooms, It would be cool. *edit* Also a well designed obstacel course would be cool. Not only would it be great for training acrobatics, but it would be interesting to duel in that kind of room. _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"

i think the jedi academy is a great map from a players point of view and an amzing map from a mappers point of view. but u can always make a map better even if its just by a bit. maybe there could be a trap room where u had to use the right force powers at certain times to get to the end _______________ Is back and badder then ever |

For a good obstacle course check out the movement map (an old knight trail map). The thing about general maps like the academy maps is that you want whatever you put in to be used and enjoyed as much as possible. Everything you put in increases server processes, fps, lag and the size of the file. Virtue has basically worked out what he wants in his maps and gone for quality over quantity. But that doesn't mean there can't be smaller occasional use maps, like the movement one. So I and other mappers appreciate your ideas, they're good for getting started when you don't know what to make. But I dunno what chance it may have of getting in the next academy map.   Edit: oh and check out THIS map to see what happens when you try to put a whole bunch of good and crazy ideas all into one map. I think virtue must have had a good laugh when he compiled this. That is, once the 10 hours passed.  _______________ A wizard did it. This comment was edited by ozzcoz on May 11 2005 01:41pm. |

I think there should be a vehcile training section, b'cos it would be fun and I find it really irritating driving those speeder things on the desert siege map (the one where you destroy the wall and go into the rancor pit :S) |

im pretty sure virtue would never put anything like that in one of his map's but if you simply make your own map i bet it would be great practice. _______________ Mapper a la strange. Proud owner of SilkMonkey Award for Wishing He Had Menaxia's Best IRC Smile Award. A Penguin Jedi is Me! |

I think there should be like a room were you can run through and if you beat the test you get to go to a room that makes you see watever the tele pass is so you can log in and tele to a wanna be a knight room so you can see what the trials are like through a movie trailer! |

I was thinking of a single large room in the next academy map purely as an obstacle course ( I wish I could just make it my self, but I never was a map maker, otherwise i would make the best maps ever for warcraft 3 ) _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"

We have a map just like that, 2 actually, but we don't use them except for fun. It's the academy maps beta2 and beta3. Download them and check them out when you get your game, see if it's what you're looking for. But as I said, we don't use them anymore. We keep them uploaded just for fun basically, but if you're good at using your environment, you can use the current map just the same. _______________ - Proud padawan of Kueller. - We really are at the beginning of it all.

Yeah.. also an obstacle course add on would be cool ( may be redundant, I havn't really seen the matrix room, but I think a really good obstacel course could be designed.) Where you can rapidlly catapult jump from platfrom to platform, to location you can only reach by running up a wall and jumping off of it (pressing 'jump' at the right time when your running up the wall) Also a area with several small gaps you can bunny hop across or roll across, because they are just the right size of gap. also to get from teh botom to the ver top of the obstacel cours eroom ( short cut in case you wanna duel in a certain area ) you can have two wall columns parellel to each other that are just the right space that even with no force power left you can continue you wall jump your way up to the top ( I mean you can't have an elevator in an obstacle course, thats to easy, besides having to wait your turn to use the elevator ) _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"

Quote: Sure. I think one of the bonus maps used that texture set too, though. bono_bob, did you download any extra content on your Xbox one? No we how no extra contect for that game, so it wasnt a bonus map, just the basic map you started with. THe room that has the double rings im talking about has a 3 entrances/exits has a healt power up, and 25 shield power up adn the health power up is on a higher platform beside one of it's exits which lead into a room with a 100 shield power up. _______________ "Darkness is simply the absence of Light" "Is it not easier to snuff out the light completely than to make no shadow or darknes at all and create pure light?"

Do you remember the name of the map? All the multiplayer maps from Xbox are present in the PC version too, so look around. It sounds like the single player map you're referring to is t3_rift, which corresponds to one of the original five FFA maps, but don't ask me which one. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time.
