its a lot easier than downloading the avi file to put in because for the ingame demo you need the JA map, all the models used in the demo, and any mods used on top of that.

well, i got it, thanks undead ;)

it looks good except that the beginning credits are too fast to even read and because of the reduced quality, sometimes it's hard to read what i say :D

and it's rather large. too large. it's nice but it won't replace the game demo. i don't even know if i can host it on my angelifre site :P

not everyone will be able to download it so i'll keep the current game demo there and i might add the avi at a later stage. besides it won't hurt anyone to practice playing demos in-game...

if you find a way to make it smaller without losing quality then eventually it might replace the game demo completely.

"Thanks for the Heiney, but please sit elsewhere ;) and don't put your feet on my desk!!"

*sits down, leans back, relaxes, opens Heiney, puts feet on desk, takes a sip of Heiney, looks at Undead*

"So... what have you got for me?"

Yeah i used the Divx Codec to compress. It is now down from a whopping 1.65gb to 30mb. Woot!

Yeah, I put that thing out on purpose. It's a kinda silly part of the map, it has no reason to be there! but if anyone thinks it is neccessary or even needed to understand the map i will change it :)

Bubu-

Undead has some interesting talents. Would be able to soup up your intro demo with zoom in/out, pans, and even music (!) I'd like him to talk to you. E-mail me back... gisjedi@hotmail.com.

hmm that's very nice! but it's somewhat inaccurate. there needs to be a hallway between the council room and the corridors leading to the other rooms...

other than that, good work ;) underhill, i think you have just been beaten! hehe...

um, wait a second. you don't do the website, just the map, right? :confused: and please have a look at my version of the map. should look more modern... but i guess just pic what you prefer :)

Edit: Oh yeah, I've added some numbers next to the rooms to make description easier. I can remove them, and if you want i can send you a transparent version without that blue background aswell.

Ubub - Far as I personally am concerned, I'd figure you can do whatever you want. As long as whatever it becomes doesn't gonna hog up DJ's space and bandwidth, why not go for it? Make it really rockin. (btw, I love the creativity bouncing around here...) :D

Good point about the file format Bubu.

I didn't mean flash was the only way to get that effect. I meant that was the only way I knew how to do it:)

you don't need flash to do that.. i might be able to do it.

the problem is i don't want to make it too fancy because i don't know what the format will be at the end. i can spend hours making this website pretty and then finally i'll be told that a word doc is enough...

i made this website just for evaluation purposes ;)

I made a small edited version of underhill's map. just some fancy stuff which i think look cool. I will upload it as soon my host is online again (few days).
about that interactive part: wouldnt it be cool if you would hover with your mouse over a room you would see an in-game screenshot and a small description of the room at the side? think that would be possible with flash... not sure though. :)

I love the map Underhill. If you guys are serious about making it a little more interactive then I could help. It would have to be in Flash though. I don't know what form the final Holocron is supposed to have (html, php, pdf, fla) so you guys might not want to use flash at all. For an example of some simple flash work I’ve done look at the website on my profile.

But the map looks good the way it is too.

I think the commands for demo recording are lsited in the console thread (see the holocron comes into use already :D)If you're really desperate I'll send you my demo recording program (not actually mine, but I got it off some backwater site and I have no idea where or when it was)
