v2 Map Released! -DJ Sith - Nov 21 12:47am

That's right ladies and germs. The new map is out! You can all get it here. It's already up on my servers and should be on the other servers soon. We think you'll like the changes and additions. Big big thanks to =Derelict-Crusader= for crafting this masterpiece for us!

Oh, it's a totally cool map. GREAT. But idd, my framerate sucks real bad now, so i am in for the suggestion of having one server on the old map. :->

The re-spawning gun problem is fixed, that was left over from the tourament, my bad :)

Great map Derelict! Even though I have to modify my class now to relflect the missing 3 platform room, Its a great map. And anyone who DOESN'T like it can dere-lick my balls! (Zoolander reference anyone? -- I know u get it Massa and DJ!)

Actually, the uber-pillar room has dual uses. The reason I thought it was there was what most are assuming... to duel on top of it (and let me tell you, that's a pretty freakin intense duel). However, Derelict Crusader's point in putting the pillar in was to have it be used as an obstacle and tool for dueling on the ground. Just think about doing a wall run around the pillar, away from a DFA... pretty fun stuff :)... so yea, that's what the room's goal is. and to be honest, we never really planned on having multiple duels going on in rooms (like the matrix room) at once, so take what you can get :)

The new map looks great... Aeth said everything I could have said... the only thing I would add is while the map is being updated could a sky be put in for the outside and window portions of the map?

(Not sure about the one monolith pillar room yet Concept seems to be basically the same as the bridge room - fight here and dont fall off. Also it doesn't allow for multiple students to do exercises at once like in classes)

Just my 2 cents.

Howdy folks.

DJ, I heard about some really low frame rates. I think we should consider keeping one server with the old map.

I know how thes folks feel, because thats how I felt before changing my PC and tryed to run big maps like Duel of Fates. And belive me it sucks.

Not everyone can aford a new PC. :)

There's a drop in framerate on everybody's system. I think it just has to do with the bigger map. But your ping shouldn't be affected by map size.

well, my first reaction when i found the "hidden" room through the whole was just like "wooow". but i think someone has to do some constructive criticsm here, so i'll have to say something negative too ;-)

things I like:
- the spectator platforms at matrix and glass
- the glass cage around the galss room. more like the council map trialing arena *thumbs up*
- the temple-look of the new rooms
- the new 3 paltform room! simple and clear lines, the same thing that made matrix cool. and nice spot to duel short distance!
- the balcony at the new respawn spot. very leaderish ;)

things i dont like:
-the map size, it takes long till you get for example from the "hidden" room up to outside or matrix. acidic had a very good idea: why not use teleporters? you could jump for example between the two respawn points
- my framerate ;-)
- my ping (has this something to do with the map?)
- my ability to find always something negative ;-)

good job derelict! handle the wepons bug, add a teleporter and i'm happy :D

VERY NICE MAP, but....(always a "but";) when i was outside, the guns where not respawning :( (det packs, mines and thermals respawned, so i'm not THAT sad...i suck with guns..)
ps.: it was the [ks] server

Thanks guys :)

About those broken doors; I actually didn't put a big broken door in one spot because I ran out of time, but YES you're correct. Expect to see an even BIGGER version in the future.

I really wanted to get this one out because it was so overdue.

Enjoy it and I don't want to hear any complaints about lack of space anymore :) hehehehe

Extremely well done, I didnt even catch a glimpse of any sparkleys. Good mapping job. Course I was to busy trying to get my butt out of the dang hole into the lost temple :P Anyway, I saw another door in the part with the floating saber, is there to be another future addition, or will it just stay a sealed door?

Since I am the first to post, because all the JATs and higher ups are still wondering around lost in the new map.... ;) I can only say WOW! Zero gave me a tour of the new place and without his guidance i think i would have gotten lost! lol the map is fabulous! Great job to Derelict. This is a proud addition to JA and i think everyone will happily agree!
