Beta 2 - Beta 3 Changes...

Okay guys, Beta 3 should be ready for release within the next week or so.
So what I'm looking for from you guys is to state what changes you think should be made to the existing map.
Anything that you think should be changed will do here, both Major and Minor changes.

Just don't reply saying "I think you should add a room for this" or "You should put that in the Lake area" because we already know how many more rooms there will be and what we are going to put in them.

What I am looking for here is your opinions to changes to parts of the Map that already exist. IE - The Courtyard, The Fortress, The Training Rooms and the Temple.

Oh yes, please bare in mind that the Server crashing is not a result of the Map. Spawning alot of NPCs does not crash the Server. The Home and Classes Servers currently use an older version of cHoSeN oNe's JA Reloaded Mod, which can cause Server Crashes via Saberlocks. C1 has since fixed this problem, and we are just waiting for the update to be added to the Servers. :)

So.....GO!! :D

Part of the fun is letting the JA members name rooms themselves,

but can be confusing
"I'm in the pillar room"
"No not that pillar room !"

Orion, I never noticed all those red circles when i was playing :P

Everything i have to point out has been said but I would like it easier to get to where u wanna be, not all of us have teleport you know,

Maybe spawn us in a tele room with labled archways that take you to different places.

I dunno summut like that,

An X-wing that when u walk up to and press use takes you somewhere else ?

whatever but walking for about 30 - 60 seconds while not sounding much can quickly become alot of wasted time if you just want to have a few duels in a certain room

Great job on the map guys! It really looks awesome!

I didn't read all the other posts, but maybe every here and there you could have a "You are Here" directory or something. Kinda like at the mall.
Also, maybe give each of the rooms a name so if someone is in the room, they can say "Come to the 'Matrix Room' or whatever.

That's about all I can think of right now. Keep up the good work fellas!!!

Just a couple of Aethetic requests realy, (now there's a surprise!). It needs a tree or two - something other than just those ruins to make it a place where we can truely relax. The bar is nice, but some of us like our natural beauty too...:)

T.Siduro, the admins will be able to open the private rooms in the bar, so that's not a problem seeing there are quite a lot of admins around :)

First of all my compliments ;)

Personally i think you did a wonderfull job on the main hall, the bar and the classes area. Since these are the area's that are most used, i suggest taking away the other wings with matrix like rooms and center the whole map to the part i just mentioned and the fort to create more symmetry.

First get the Fps up in the courtyard.
Then fix some of the bevel textures. Then fix the "looking up through glass pyramid in corridor" errors. +The windows in the training halls.

Then add some trees to the courtyard and some sky to the main cermony hall. It's pretty dull in there. Light up the academy a little.

Eh... do something so the doors in the bar aren't permanently locked when someone dies in there? Like make a room a good ways away that opens them, right? That way someone can't just stand right by 'em, open it, then run back in - like they have to go all the way across the map. That way it doesn't fully defeat the purpose of having private rooms, and they won't end up locked and stuff. Yeah, there's my idea.

Making it more 'true' to StarWars will not make it better other than a better visual experience, which we all know dies down e.g Mune's Bar (Everyone loved it; I barely see anyone step in there now). We should avoid fancy stuff and add more fun and gameplay, take 3th's ideas for example.

i don't know if this is manageable or not, but it might be nice to offset the doors from the courtyard to the training rooms, as it is now when someone walks into the middle room from the courtyard, both of those doors open and you have direct line of sight out to the courtyard and framerates drop.

in the fortress area i would make it more like it's own mini-map. what i mean by that is adding more corridors and level to level changes so when you're fighting with guns its more like one of the maps you might play a full FFA match on. maybe even add some pits (as in pits of death) so if you're playing a FFA with force in that area, grip and push become somewhat useful and we can practice with them.

Make it at least 50% true to the SP map. That's what the JK2 maps were meant to be like.

Hey, a swmap area that makes it feel more Yavin-like would be cool too. :D

The map is quite open, so windows aren't really needed, besides there aren't any windows in the Yavin Temple either, just some holes on the walls :)

They know about that bug and will fix it.

Cossyc: as for removing rooms the rooms that no one use are still underconstruction and will be finished soon.

as for my input. there are some bugs/visual issues that i can see and will post links to screen shots when i return from class in a few hours. I also think that the hall way on the 2nd floor is a bit bear and could use some decoration maybe a sort of hall o' fame hallway could be set up?
