EDIT: This old thread was bumped so I assume someone at least is interested in the idea. In short (see below) the idea is to give everyone in the Hall of Fame a permanent comment on their profile, so everyone will know who they were and what they did to get in the Hall of Fame, and a statue in the map. I'd like to add something to this. With the new map released, the academy got itself a lovely garden with Vladarion's Memorial shrine in it. I say we use the extra space in that garden for more plaques or statues for the people in the Hall of Fame, I think it would create a very nice and solemn atmosphere in that particular part of the map. I have mailed the original idea to the council, but the council hasn't done anything with it yet. Let's see what the students think of this new concept. ORIGINAL: ___________ Dear JACs, JAKs, JATs, and fellow students In the light of the recent departures of many of our friends, the hall of fame has grown and is even larger than the list of JAKs and JATs. A lot of people will not remember all of them, and since it's a hall of fame, this is wrong. I suggest everyone in the hall of fame get's a permanent comment his profile providing us with the history of that person, ergo: his story. People in the hall of fame deserve to be remembered. Furthermore, I'd like to see a real hall of fame in the next Academy Map. A line of statues, in a long corridor, or spread throughout the map with their names on a sign. That way, we'll always remember them and they will always be with us. What do you think? PS I will not bore you with a poll  _______________ Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam This post was edited by Ulic |retired| on Mar 12 2004 03:07pm. |

Sounds like a great idea althought I think we should take the profile pic's frame them then write there name under them this would be less stranging on the mapers and would be much easyer to update...just my thoughts about it tho BTW! i got JK:JA so im going to start re training so if anyone finds cloak thunder or bandit laying around tell them im back  _______________ Back from the dead Student and unoffical teacher from 2002-2006 |

Yup Yup great Idea and we should never forget our friends that have left. But we also need to remeber that we need to think of each of our brothers and sisters who are with us now. We need to enjoy all the time we have here at the Academy because we never know just how much time each of us may have here.Lets pay tribute to those that have moved on but let us not forget to remeber all whom are with us now  _______________ Padawan of Mace Windu, Brother to All.

Odan's idea is much more doable I think. Sounds really nice.

MMMM, what about covering a wall with the names of the people in the Hall of Fame and having 2 or 3 statues for the most famous ones? I imagine a marble texture with all those names carved... could look good and solve the problem oh having too many statues. Besides, updating a texture is less hard than the whole thing, if it's possible.

I like the idea of having statues, but like NFF said, that could take up more space where there isnt much room. Also for those with lower connection speeds, when it takes a crap load of time to d/l something 1 time, having to do it mutltiple time might just become a hassle (I dont have a slow connect, all hail cable!) But, my idea: Having maybe 1 or 2 statues. If any statue should be made, it should be made of JediSith999, the d00d who made this place. Whether he is here or not, he deserves to be numero uno on the map Doobie should have a statue, about the size of the characters shoe, so, we can easily jump on his head, and all that . then do the same for all the other JAC's _______________ |

hmm nice idea. but i think to put some solid statures at the wall of the Academy mapp wouldnt be so nice for the ppl in the academy. The map needs a nice aditionl place for thous. Maybe a big room made of glass above the aerea outside, you can walk into it over stairs. The room should be very nice and lighty but no normal duelling place. no weapons are allowed there. Would be nice in that way. And the point with the updating: its the first time that it has been updated since im here. (6 month now). i think its ok to dwl a new map if someone enters the HoF. Maybe there sould be an aditional symbol at his profile too.

Keep in mind, any updates made to the HoF would just have to wait for the next updated version of the map. We don't want to keep people downloading the same map over just because a couple statues were shifted. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea, but I don't know how feasible it is to keep up on it. Also, The current map project seems to be pushing some limits AS IS. I don't know how much more could be added, really. Besides that, there are two more issues. One being somewhat irrelevant to us would be the maps use outside of the Academy. I doubt those people would much care who is in our HoF. (Again, not a big deal as it is our map.) The other problem lies in who gets a spot and the like... I mean, we could just keep it based on the HoF list as it stands, but if you've already had someone approach you looking for some glory, maybe its not the best of ideas. Good idea, though! We need some creativity in the map! |

What about creating the Hall of Shame, for the people who have been banned ? j/k Odan-Wei _______________ Padawan and brother to SmilyKrazy - Adopted in the Belouve Family by Fizz and Bubu, BELOUVE ON! - Vladarion, you'll always be in my heart and memories - Spam-Padawan of Jacen Aratan - [DJ is my beloved wife! - JA Family: Brothers:

Hmm, good point. Yeah, the statues WOULD die if an /npc kill all command was executed. But here's the solution: 1) On the JA Servers, it is VERY, VERY unlikely that anyone would have access to this command except for the JAC who have Rcon, and maybe the JATs after c1 brings out JAR. 2) In the script that I mentioned before, all I would have to do is add a respawn tag that would make a dead statue (LoL) respawn a second or so after it has been killed (......LoL). Problem solved (With a few LoLs, but it'd be worth it. HAHA). - Virtue. _______________ Academy Architect |

Also an option. I don't know wether we should really create a hall of fame, or place statues troughout the map. Maybe we could put them in all corridors leading to the duelling areas, or in the garden area, around the pond While we're at it, a JAT (classified) told me that if the halloffamers get a statue, he wants one too. Now I don't think that would be a good idea, the current jaks and jats don't need to be remembered since they're often in the servers right? _______________ Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam |

erm, wouldn't it be better to take a model with a skin, make it stoney looking, make it into a md3 prefab and place it in the map?

StrikerX, that sounds exactly like the good old jedi academy map v2! a hidden room under sum stairs, and a hole in the ground leading to what was called the lost temple (lost temple was really lost after the mapper'sputer had sum probs) well, virt, would it b able to kill those hall of fame ppl with "npc kill all"? I think its a nice idea to leave a history comment on the HoF ppl's profile, and it could be sweet with a hall of fame in the JA map i think tho it may b a little hard to add new ppl there (and mabye increase the size of the HoF?) all the time, it would be cool... |

and how about some hidden area's , i don't know why , but i just have a felling that would be cooll , and the place sould be , a jedi-crpt , lilke the level,, or a palace, or like a ruin -like place. i vote for jedi-crypt , it sounds most hororable for sort of thing , well... in my opinion. |

Yeah, sounds like a good idea to me, from what Virty says, it will take a few seconds do to so, and how often is someone added to the HoF? Couldnt hurt to red/l once in awhile. Good Idea. _______________ |

Well, its not very often someone is added to the HoF so wont need to be updated a lot I guess. Sounds sweet btw |

Had I known that was possible, I would have worried even less! I was just thinking about the same statues with other names but of course we must try to realize your idea. Thanks Virtue, for your never exhausted energy _______________ Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam |
