Upcoming Outcast Map

Yep, you heard right...

Am I insane?
Am I mentally ill?
Or am I just plain stupid?

Most likely all three!

But I'm making a Jedi Outcast multiplayer map. Sort of like how our acadamy map is laid out...that being a bunch of different dueling rooms set in a temple/acadamy environment.

This is going to be my first official map, but I've been dabbling around in pet projects for at least 2 years now. I hope to convert it to a Jedi Acadamy map once I rebuy the game. (I lost my CD. Blarg!!!)

Anywho...i'll post updates on this topic in the coming days. I'm already finished a large portion of the map...but not even half of it.

I plan on having a fairly large multiplayer map, and so far I've surpassed myself architecturally. Whether thats good or bad is up for you to decide, unfortunately, but constructive criticism is something I'm able to take.

More than anything, I suppose this will be a test map for any future projects. Since I know nobody really plays Outcast anymore because of Jedi Acadamy, but like I said. I want to convert this to an Acadamy map if possible once I'm finished.

And...that's all. For now!

EDIT: Map Basics...

The map is in an underground Jedi (?) temple on a frozen planet...later to be named. It's architecture notes that it was built centuries ago, but is still in use by the force users who constructed it.

Featured areas so far...

Secret Hanger (Spawn Zone)

Entry Hall (Branches off to the other areas, includes huge crystal looking monument.)

Council Chamber (Good duel area or for meetings if that floats your boat.)

To Come:

Dueling Maze - Designed to test your mind as well as your lightsaber combat abilities. Good for those cat and mouse fights.

Pillars - A large chamber with tall stone pillars reaching from the depths below. There is little room for either yourself or error as you duel your foe.

Duel Room - For those who prefer fighting old school on a simple rectangular mat.

And more once I figure them out. Suggestions welcome.

Still, if you put this one off for months until you release each map individually, it could be quite a while.

Well for the map pack I'm releasing the maps as I progress. Not all at once months from now.

Well, for now it is put on hold because of the map pack I'm coordinating. I figured the map pack would have more widescale use than this. So...yeah.

So for now it is 'paused' construction wise.


Personally, I would finish this before working on the map pack, as this would take a lot less time to complete. Do what you want though :).

Jedi Outcast maps will work in Jedi Academy except with a few missing textures.

Maybe we can use your map for the upcoming JK2 Tourney. :D

How far along is it?
