Jedi Academy Version 4 Input -=Derelict-Crusader= - May 01 08:57pm

Version 4 of The Jedi Academy map is nearing release and at the last minute I’ve made quite a few changes. I come asking an important question, it’s regarding the “glass room” AKA “Trail room.” I would like to know how often this room is used as it was meant for trials and such.

I feel that this room needs a change; in its place I could do a “matrix” like design or if some recall the “3 platform” design from Version 1 in order to open it up for more duel space.

Please post your comments/votes to keep the “glass room” as is or revamp it. Stay on topic here, it will make it easier for me and eventually mean a quicker release of V4.

Thanks

-DC

I personally never use the glass room. I think it's to small. A bigger more roomy matrix room would make me happy. I like dueling in big open rooms! :);):D

Quick update!

I've decided to go ahead and redesign the glass room as well. It's a matrix style design with a twist.

I've brought back a design from the BETA map of The Jedi Academy, that's before V1 :P It doesn't look like the original but the concept is there. Only DJ and Doobie will understand what I'm talking about :D

Although the glass room is not being used for its original purpose, it is still being used as much as the pillar/pit room as far as an alternate dueling room is concerned. I would either leave it or make a second matrix.

Anybody ever see that Eddie Murphy movie "The Golden Child"? There's one scene where Eddie has to jump from pillar to pillar and then to a rope bridge. All of this is over a bottomless pit. Just an idea....:D

I say, redo the old 3 platforms. It was very fun and strategic (running away as a chicken when you where dying :p). BTW the knight trials won't take place on that map, so no point on keeping it the trial room. My computer doesn't mind the glass but other computers do, so I think 3 platforms could be cool. Or some great connected room with the "pillar room" and "trial room" and make them both pillars and other things.

I would love to have a room to practice balance and landings. I think it would benifit everyone to practice jumping around on small platforms....even moving ones. :)

Perilous, because I'm bound to get into fights I can't win. Drunken, because ALE! Angel, because a valkyrie is basically an angel of Odin.

Definelty drop the glass, I usually bump into it because I don't know where it begins. And I get kinda claustrofobic, but that's just me :D

As alternative, I think a second matrix would be fine. The more the merrier :)

Why not make like a solid platform thing.. Glass is too laggy, sort of an uneven ground thing... It'd cool (Anyone remember Battle Ground Jedi?)

I think a room with lots of things to jump around on and do crazy aerobatic tricks on would be kind of cool. Or how about a little tiny LT? =D
