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. |

The maps look excellent... two BTWs from me this time... 1) I've mentioned this before, but I'd like to clarify it....I've spent a bit of time playing with the ships on the KotoR school map and others (when spawned), and the thing that has jumped out to me is simply that they ruin the game unless the mpa can handle them....even the KotoR map is WAAAAYY too small. I honestly don't think there's any point in putting them in at all unless there is a massive(well...big anyway) sky/space area. Otherwise, you just crash them into FFAs....funny once up to thrice, but after that it gets REAL annoying. It's nice that you've only added the non-lame ships in as well TIE and X-Wing are enough for me, but as long as there are no homings....2) Mirrors. I'm not sure how resource-hugging these are, but even one mirror would be useful to see what a skin looks like to others, or what you are doing with that move....etc. Most people don't mess with the view settings, so it's nice to be able to see..well...me  EDIT:// SaberwieldinKow....I don't write essays like that I write (for a 1500 worder) 3000 words of BS and notes in essay form, then craft it into something beautiful _______________ Brother to HW and Kyp Durron, padawan of the almiiiighty NFF.

Unfortunately, I've been told by two of the mappers that the starship courtyard may be pushing too far. The main questionable areas are the NPC "Dungeon" and the starship courtyard. The facility areas are definitely doable, as are the 4 outer courtyards themselves. The temple area is still in planning stages, but I think all 3 mappers are taking it in a different direction. Just to alleviate any worries, the vehicle courtyard itself, along with the ground vehicles, ARE still planned for the map. In light of all this, we may need a new map dedicated to flight training. (One without unbalanced custom fighters, as in Kotor Flight School.) So, here's the deal. After the Jedi Academy map is complete, I want to begin up to 4 NEW map projects. (Flight Training, NPC Training, Siege Training and CTF Training.) HOWEVER, as I know little about Siege or CTF, I don't think I would be fit to design a map for either mode. Flight and NPC training will be enough of a stretch, in all truth. Anyway, we shall see how everything pans out. Wish our mappers luck! |

Well, really, we will have to either put names on them, or color code them as Kalheka did. Dom's map wasnt so "user-friendly" to new students, who had to wander till they got a feel for the place. The thing that made that a small issue was that Dom's map wasn't particularly massive anyway. We'll see what the teams can do about marking everything. |

Are you guys gonna put the room names(guns/movement/ect ect..) over the doors?

I went ahead and updated the site design. It was getting a BIT too crowded on the index page. I've seperated all the main updates into their own pages, so everything should be a lot less cluttered. From now on, each new update will simply add another page to the site. Hope you all enjoy the new layout! |

Just so you know, if a JK2 version IS created, rooms for purposes only possible in JK3 will simply be converted to Matrix rooms, while courtyards with uses only possible in JK3 will be removed. (Possibly replaced with doubles of the other courtyards.) |

I was actually going to ask all the teams to adapt a Jedi Outcast version as well. Seems to me that we may as well have the same basic map on all servers, if possible. Anywho... This map was built of my own design, though I did consider many of the suggestions laid down in all the different map threads here at the Academy. Finally, I would like to announce that I have once again updated the map design! Yay! Now you'll find a diagram and description for the vehicle courtyard at the bottom of the page. Enjoy! |

When I do something I try to do a good job on it. Meaning I have to get the job done RIGHT, which means that it will take time. Most likely I will be working on it up until the last minute for the next two weeks. For now though, I have all but the four outer courtyards made. Everything is essentially untextured, but that will be corrected in the next few hours. _______________ I'm crazy, not stupid. |

I think you guys have done this (definitely NFF), but make sure you know where you're going with each room...I mean when I'm writing an essay/story for school, before I do any writing whatsoever, I decide on my assertion/theme. I make sure this assertion/theme can be proved/developed. Then comes my Introduction, and Conclusion/Resolution. It's much easier to do something if you know where you're gonna end up. Next comes the creation of the topic sentence for each paragraph/event. I know have the skeleton, what holds the project up. You all can draw the parallels. This is gonna be the most sw33t, 1337 map yet! (hopefully) |
