Welcome to The Jedi Academy Map Project! Recently, a thread was created on the JAK forums asking for our suggestions for a new map. Monty came up with the idea to give the map a University feel, and I ran with it! I've laid out a full site to reflect my ideas in the hopes they would be produced, and now theres a team working to do just that! Mapping Team: FaDed, Virtue Contact a member of the team if you think you can be of some assistance.  Please, give any suggestions you have on this thread! Don't forget to vote in the poll! http://www.angelfire.com/oh4/nofrikinfun/ This post was edited by NofrikinfuN on Dec 16 2003 07:45pm. |

Is it going to be overly large like the Ragnos map? and if so, will there be shortcuts to the different rooms that will be used a lot? --SeanJA ( wow... i never realised it but my middle initials are the same as Jedi Academy...  ) _______________ The final strife, Over a dead wife, End of a life, With the end of a knife, This comment was edited by Darth Eyeball on Nov 12 2003 03:01pm. |

Which reminds me - I have just completed the Lobby for the training rooms and I figured I'd post 2 screens up here for you all to gawk at while I work on the rest of the area. FaDed, NFF and JP will probably be most interedted by these as it will show what I have ended up with. Expect the Observation Decks and the Sparring Rooms to be of the same detail, if not, better. http://www.academymods.net/jamap/lobby1.jpg http://www.academymods.net/jamap/lobby2.jpg Expect the whole area to be completed within the next few hours. - Virty. _______________ Academy Architect |

Area Portals eh? sound handy. are they an iproved version of hint brushes in the half-life/quake2 engine? so does the JK3 engine not break up vis on its own? sounds like it could be good and bad. i need to get me some mapping tools for this game and see what it's all about. _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it! |

See thats the reason we keep Virty around, u god damn mapping genius _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" |

3th, you are half right. Doors don't block the Vis, walls do. But... In order to save on ram and FPS, a map needs doors. Why? Because of Area Portals. Although a wall blocks the vis to anything behind it, if a door is placed into a certain wall, it nullifies the walls vis block. But if you place an area portal over the door, it tells the game engine to make the door area act like a wall untill a player walks up to it and it opens. Take the Ragnos map for example. ALOT of people have framerate issues on that map because it is a huge map that is all linked together via corridores. Now, if the mapper had placed doors in the map with area portals on them, the whole map would run perfectly and not even cause framerate issues for those with low-end machines. So yeah, doors don't block the Vis, but they do if an Area Portal is placed over it. - Virtue. _______________ Academy Architect |

It's for personal reasons Kow. I'm gonna be very busy the next few weeks and I don't think I will be able to even get the beta up in time  But, FaDed's version is probably 3x better than what I had  so look forward to that _______________ Padawan to the great Katan JA Brother to D@RTHM@ULR.I.P.
