| Acadamy Map Pack Project | |
|
Sten Yuseph - Student  |
Well, I'll be getting Jedi Acadamy by the end of the month...again. (I lost my cd before I shipped out for the Marines so I have to buy a new one). Anyway, I figure I'd put my Radiant skills to the test and create a multiplayer map pack for everyone.
Although I'm used to doing things solo, by no means will I reject anyone who is interested in partnering up with me in this project. In fact I could use someone who is great at scripting things such as doors, elevators and bot support features. Anyway, to the good stuff...I'm hoping this project will be pretty good. It'll have anywhere from 10 to 20 different multiplayer maps. Spanning from a beachhead assault on a downed star destroyer on Kothlis to a massive starship junkyard on Ord Mantall. As well as an urban environment on Abridon and a strikingly familiar map to halo fans deep within the Maw installation. Anyone interested in helping me out just contact me through e-mail and/or AIM. E-Mail: scattell7-3@hotmail.com AIM: CrazySpartan73 Each map will have it's advantages and disadvantages, as well as every one being unique and well planned out. In fact, for the sake of this I'd like to span the project amongst several map makers, each mapper creating around 2-4 of the maps. I have about 2 years experience with Radiant would like to give myself a workout on this one. Thanks. _______________ - Sten Yuseph |

Where should the war torn urban map be located on?

Liking the coruscant with Vong idea, however Onderon would be coolio too.

I'm pretty excited too. And this is my first 'official' map ever. I've made pet projects through the years to practice architecture and I'm really confident on this one.
As far as a Co-operative or single player level, I'm going to finish this project first then see what happens. Here are some more maps planned to keep the juices flowing... + Grinder + My second map planned, as mentioned before, is in a large facility inside the Maw installation. Basically a large test chamber for power armor and advanced infantry weapons. It will be an area with several pieces of high ground over a large environment full of cover to sneak up on others with. It can get a little hectic with snipers ruling the skies while anyone with a saber below will be a tough obstacle to encounter. + Asphyxia + My third map planned is an underwater research structure on Mon Calamari. Unlike other maps out there, you will be able to notice you're underwater as just about every room and passageway has large view ports to observe the ocean depths. Who knows what might be down there? Others are also still on the drawing board and I'm just waiting for my copy of Academy to come in so I can start mapping. _______________ - Sten Yuseph |

Like the ideas for the Coruscant map. May want to include some remnants of the Jedi Temple which were seen during the NJO series.
If it is possible, this map could become a rather cool co-op mission  _______________ "Do or do not, there is no try" Jedi Master Yoda Dual Saberist |

I have many plans, and am just waiting for my copy of Acadamy to come in within the next week.
I have decided to base the map in a slightly Vong formed area of a Coruscant middle class urban environment. Here are some map points for any curiosity. The map will feature many different paths to take that all lead traverse through one area or another. Snipers will enjoy the room I'm giving them as I hope it will keep players cautious about what's around the next corner. Although I want this to be a somewhat tight envorinment, I am giving room for lightsaber duels in the streets and rooftops. Due to the compact size of most areas, however, firefights will most likely dominate the area. Both spawn zones are different. One is situated on a maintenance way above a kilometers deep chasm of metal. The other is in a former Imperial garrison. Separating these zones is a sector that has seen too much war and it'll show. Be on the lookout because your enemy can attack from any direction. From the buildings above to the hallowed ground below. More I cannot promise because...well, things change based on flow and balance. Oh yeah, the maps name? Metamorphosis seemed to fit well, given the planets change of seats every so often. As well as more literal meanings. _______________ - Sten Yuseph |

Quote: Well, I hate to spoil one of the maps but one of them I have planned is a large bridge on Mygeeto, the place where Ki Adi Mundi was killed during order 66.
It'll be designed for a team death match type scenario. Good to hear, It'd be good in FFA Format also though,Maybe for recreation of the battles etc. Well good luck making it . _______________ - Minoda Student |

I think you should make a battle damaged version of the place where jedi master ki adi mundi was killed. _______________ - Minoda Student |

Quote: I'm confused. It sounds good, but could you be a bit more specific? 10-20 maps on spontaneously random locations? Okay. 50-250 MB, right? I'm not sure dial-up users would like this (good thing I'm not a dial-up user).
Don't worry about that. I had this in mind from the beginning and want to actually have the maps individually downloadable for a couple of reasons. One, for the reason you mentioned. People with slow connections wouldn't bother with it at all. I want people to enjoy this pack. Secondly, what if you don't like one of the maps? It would be a waste of time to download something you don't want to begin with. And also to make maps available sooner. This is more like a project than a map pack actually. As maps are completed, they will be available. As for more info on maps, Im making a basic layout for that urban map everyone seems to want (I want it too!!!). I also see a lot of mixed opinions on where people want it to be located at...so I guess I'll throw up a poll. Originally it is intended to be located on Abridon, the site of an imperial assault to capture Luke Skywalker (Force Commander). But I'm willing to give everyone a say in it because...well, it's only a cosmetic decision. For other maps such as the Star Destroyer assault, it has its inspiration from the Rogue Squadron level. The Maw installation is inspired from Halo and several other surprises I think everyone will enjoy. Needless to say, this will take a while to complete and is only in the 'drawing board' phase. And any help would be greatly appreciated. _______________ - Sten Yuseph |

Unlike most people in this world, I always finish when I commit myself to a project. I'm a pencil artist myself, and know that things take a lot of time and effort to complete.
...and a war torn urban map is actually one of the maps I want to do. Plus plenty of other stuff. Anyone who wants to help can in anyway way they can. I don't demand anything from you, since this isn't a job or anything like that. _______________ - Sten Yuseph |

I have a lot of experience with mapping and I know a good amount of scripting, but I'm not sure I could spare enough time for a project like this; however, if you need any help, I'm usually on IRC and I check my e-mail account regularly. |
