To Virty,

I give thee my 1000th comment, for when milestones are hit its those from the beginning who are remembered for making it worth the journey :), I saw ya go from a n00by student, to helping myslef and Moby run the JASE from there you gained Knight in record time due to ur nuckin futs skills and <3able personality (/wookiehug). You then broke all the molds and skipped the rank of Trainer right to the spot destined for you, Council. You are the man the myth, the legend that makes this Academy what it is today. You single handedly gave theja.net to the masses in the JK3 era due to ur insane mapping skills and showed me on many a time why I love Star Wars and why i love this place so damn much. I still to this day will never forget the time and effort you spent helping me get to knight and how I truely felt like I was that Jedi Knight, keeper of the peace, waxor of the smacktards. It was my honor to meet and hang out with you in Vegas and may our future endevours coutinue to cross as these past years have been nothing but hella fun. oh and you still owe me 4 hour duel on the Matrix map :P

*pushes virty off the top to his death* \m/(^_^)\m/

LONG LIVE CHANCELOR VIRTUE!!

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Behold, our mighty mapper!

For all of you who didn't know yet: Virtue is the creator of our fine Academy map.

Virty looks like the unwanted-JAC without any perm comment, so here is one :D

May I add that this is the first-ever nice permanent comment i posted on someone's profile!

Give him a hand, because Virtue is the man. Treat him with respect, because he has earned it.

Hey Virtue, Just seeing if you got my messages about adding siege spawn points to the academy so it would play for mbII that would rock.

Just saying I'm excited about being part of the family tradition of yours. I'll be able to resume playing later this week after doctor's appointments and stuff are done.

Take care m8

The part of the tutorial that I couldn't get past was this part

Tap the Up arrow next to the Extrude button to extrude the selected side out by 0.1. Then using the Up arrow next to the Bevel button, increase the bevel of the selected area until it reaches it's rightful destination to match your viewport background, as shown below:

I just couldn't figure out like either how many times I needed to hit them both and I really couldn't understand this part of that

Then using the Up arrow next to the Bevel button, increase the bevel of the selected area until it reaches it's rightful destination to match your viewport background

Well what does that mean like just how many times do I tap the up arrow? thats all I really need help with.

Heya Virtue, Hey I have a question, I can't really make sense of your saber tutorial (but then again I don't really do anything like that) and I was wondering how hard it would be if you could maybe make me one? The part of the tutorial that I couldn't get past was this part

Tap the Up arrow next to the Extrude button to extrude the selected side out by 0.1. Then using the Up arrow next to the Bevel button, increase the bevel of the selected area until it reaches it's rightful destination to match your viewport background, as shown below:

I just couldn't figure out like either how many times I needed to hit them both and I really couldn't understand this part of that

Then using the Up arrow next to the Bevel button, increase the bevel of the selected area until it reaches it's rightful destination to match your viewport background

If you could either tell me like how many times I should hit both or if maybe you could make me one I would really appreciate it.

Hey Virtue, Props on making such a wonderful map! I'm a huge fan of the Jedi Academy map and my RPG clan would love to play on the Academy in the Mod we use Movie Battles. I was wondering if it would be possible to add siege spawn points to make it playable in Movie Battles. I wouldn't want to mess up the gameplay for any of the fine folks that play the original map, but it would be nice to play your map in the Movie Battles mod.

Two things: First off, I've seen that every so often you'll find a good skin/model/or map (custom-made or otherwise) that you find worthy of implementing into your server system - whether it's just one server or all of them. Well I've found a saberpack that you might be familiar with, it's called "RevanDark's Star Wars Hilts". I've been through many, many sabers before and I've gotta say these take the cake for quality and consistency. I recommend you take a look at them in-game, or simply by visiting the site, and upload them to the Academy's servers. You can click the link in my signature for quick access.
Secondly, after exploring both Academy_v2 and Academy_v3 in-depth I think we're missing something. I'm not sure if you're familiar with "The Real Jedi Acamdemy". It's a remake of the actual Jedi academy form JKA, except in MP form. I think that Academy_v3 would be improved even greater if elements of "The Real Jedi Academy" were mapped into version 4 of your map. I know this is a lot of work, but if you've got a team of mappers (or are available enough to incorporate it yourself) it honestly think it would give a more realistic and authentic feel to our community's home map. Examples include some elements of Academy_v2 such as glass encased balconies above dueling areas. For a more accurate idea of my suggestions download the following map: http://jediknight2.filefront.com/file/The_Real_Jedi_Academy;25229

Let me know what you think.

Thanks Virtue,

Virtue,

I'm very impressed with your work on the academy maps - they're beautiful. This entire endeavor really earns my respect, you've helped found an organization that I've only ever dreamed of. I love it here at the Academy. I'm a multi-server admin from a ForceModIII (JKA-mod) community so I understand what it's like to be a part of a somewhat large project such as this. So listen, I've got a few thoughts that I'd like to share with the admins here. I wanted to know who I should talk with. I've got some saber hilts that I think this community would benefit from (nothing but the best out of years of experience) and also some mapping suggestions. If you could direct me properly considering both of these areas I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

-Alan

Hey as you know i'm new to the academy and all.. But I just wanted to say that after seeing every area of the map in detail, you created one hell of a map. I really really like it, I also like the custom song on the map as well.

I do have a idea for V4 whenever you decide to start on it, if you decide to make a v4 that is. We've got a bar, we've got dueling chambers, we've got a council chamber with security switches. We've even got a Darth Maul poster of him wearing goggles, what else do we need?

Well, I think it would be interesting to maybe implement a swoop track in the underground area, aka the bunker, I think it would be a cool addition to all the other toys we've got laying around, maybe even stir up some new little events. Oh and I was talking to Hardwired and he thinks that the fortress should be renamed to the bunker since its not really a fortress.

My last question is, am I missting something or did you remove npcs from the map that were in v2? I remember there being a npc training area, not that its a big deal and all. I am sure there are reasons why you took them out such as people spamming them, etc.

So anyways, awesome job on the map, I love it, its pretty much perfection.
