wh00t, just realised the map of the map is done *silly aeth*
it's pretty cool, but one thing: why not watch the relations a bit more? I mean, the 4 duel rooms a bit bigger and the tiny hall in front of the council room a bit smaller. And maybe put that courtyard without those "bites" in it? :D You know, that parts where the pillars are ;)

Ah, much better.

Demo: great. Just had those thoughts when I was viewing it. Sounds like you're on top of things. Thanks a lot.

well, thanks for the praise :)

about the second level thing, i could mention that each room has an observatory but i won't do it in the demo or include it in the map (it would be rather complicated and not much use). but i will get it across.

how to make the demo work, sure i'll do that.

the two ways to get in (one from the top, and one from the back), i could mention on the glass room page.


remember that this is not the finish product yet. everything you mentioned i was already planning to do at some point ;)

aeth has a machine in his office, why can't I?

Bubu- I love it. That demo rocks! And the map is great. Good job underhill. Now that the praising is done, I have a few comments. :)

1. Make sure you explain in there *how* to get to the demo (where to save it, etc.), which jake explained below...cause I didn't know how to do it until he wrote it down step by step. Thanks Jake!

2. Do you think it's necessary to mention the lifts up to the second level? If not, then forget it.

3. There are two ways to get into the glassed-in area in the trial room. That could either get explained in the demo or somewhere else in the Holocron.

Other than those teeny weeny things, good job!

If someone could do an interactive thing where you hover over a room and get a description that would be great.

Do we have that kind of talent? I don't :)

since underhill's makin a JA map i could make the Advent map.

i was thinkin thta we could have a map of the floor, then you could click on a room in the map, which would be a hyperlink to another page with a picture and description.

tell me if anyone's started on a map.

you can pretty much ask me everything that happened from june on. emperor lightning's server, and even the Creations server are still in my time... just ask.
For the very very first info you gotta ask doobie only. even Dj came later to it (called NerfYoda :D)

That sounds good, Biz. You might want to consult with Bubu and mesh your map with his work.

We're hoping for constructive comments and help, not nit picking at stuff :). Whilst it may seem basic to you, its not the saemas everyone. As for the history, some people will be interested. Thanks anyway Flamori, you're ideas will always be welcome

The academy isn't that complicated. I familiarized myself with the layout pretty soon after I got it.

here's what i managed to do in about 30 minutes:

http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/ja

it is nothing yet, far from finished. underhill said he would draw me a map of the place too. that's pretty much what i plan to do about the "academy tour" section. for the academy history i plan to recruit someone a bit more experienced than me, with a lower profile ID, hopefully one of the JACs can help me with that.

and then... i'll see about the rest.

that's what i've got so far. tell me what you think if you think at all :)

and... underhill, i hear ya ;)

I've suggested this before, but I thought I'd put it here so Bubu will read it.

It would be cool if the intro was a short (well, as short or as long as they want to make it) piece by either DJ or massa welcoming new sutdents to the academy. The sort of "note from the Chancellor" type of thing you find in university hand book, complete with a cheesey head shot:) (I can provide a screenshot of DJ or massa's skin if u like) Even if it's a paragraph or two, or even tounge in cheek i think it would be cool.

Oh, and thanks for the forums massa! Yay!
