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. |

SWK, doors don't do jack for blocking vis. i.e. the game engine "sees" through them to the next room because they are not world brushes (which are static, non moving, and have no properties) so they don't block the game engine from rendering the room on the other side because at any moment they may open. so it has to be ready to draw that room instantly. so doors are for looks only, if you want to keep the framerates good you have to block the openings with walls like NFF mentioned. now that i think about it i don't know why i wrote this reponse. i must be reverting to my days at the D.o.E. (halflife department of engineering, a good ole mapping community)  _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it! |

lol The original designs even had walls blocking the doors from view entirely. That dinna pan out, but there will still be doors! |

Kow, the doors haven't been implemented yet. fear not, this map will be made to run perfectly on even the oldest of computers. |

NICE WORK FELLAS! _______________ 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?

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#??"

Large open areas don't have to be a problem if you're kind to the "vis". You can make an outdoors area but give some blockage like large hills, mountains, walls, and distance fog and so on. If you guys need help with anything let me know I'm getting along well enough with terrain in radiant. _______________ "Look not back in anger, nor forward in fear But around you in awareness."

If you ask me, size alone shouldn't be a problem. While having one massive room is hard on computers, having many seperate rooms really isn't. (Have you even seen some of the new JK3 maps? SHEESH!) The places we may see problems are in larger outer courtyards, the central courtyard, and, if added, the starfighter and npc courtyards may be problematic. Buuuuuut, I say we push it to the absolute maximum. We can just save a version of the map before a large area is added, then test the new additions and revert if they don't pan out. (Pray they will!) *Goes back to drawing* EDIT: BTW, feel free to stop by #JAMP on QuakeNet if you want to talk to some of the mappers! This comment was edited by NofrikinfuN on Nov 05 2003 05:13pm. |

lol Try drawing a 3D image with LINES. *Yea, I know mapping is harder, but I'm the IDEA MAN, DAMMIT!* |

you think paint is hard. try using gtk-radiant!! |

I've drawn up a design for the lake/garden/pit area! Now all I have to do is translate the silly thing to paint, just like the preliminary gun range idea! Maybe I'll even get around to drawing the Gun FFA/Fortress courtyard! As I mentioned earlier, the Starfighter and NPC Courtyards may or may not be feasible, but I figure I'll design them anyway. Then we can at least TRY them, and if nothing works out with them, scrap `em. HOPEFULLY, the mapping teams are all still with me on this. I know I'm moving fairly slow and all... But some of this stuff is hard to put on paper. ANYWHO! Good luck once more to all our mappers! |

I think there should be alot of force interaction...perhaps some secrets activated by force powers, like remember in the final level and cinematic in JK2 u see desann force push the stairs to reveal a passage way to the valley of the jedi? some thing like that would be SO COOOL. _______________ SMILY RULES ALL AND SHE CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT Quote: Don't part with your illusions.
