-=Reborn JEDI=- Forums _ The Jedi Scene Shop _ New Maps/rotation

Posted by: JayBaen Apr 13 2004, 07:19 AM

Anyone else feeling the need for some fresh maps? I'd love to get someone on the hunt to dig up some good framerate, well layed-out maps that we can add to/subsitute in for our current rotation.

We've done well with the maps we have, as we picked good ones the first time, it just seems time.

RJ or not, post your findings on other maps you'd like to see considered for rotation in this thread.

what about shrrom ducks TMBJ map it is cool the mi=usic gets a bit repetitive and it is a clan map. but it is a great map none the less plus I know alot of other servers that use it.

Posted by: Tyrannus Apr 15 2004, 02:21 PM

It's a good map, yes, HAM. And the music.. I love it. However! TMBJ is simply not one that has much replay value. You play it a couple times.. you've played it a million times.

Ow... Uh, yeah.

I'm actually pretty fond of most of the maps we're using... with the exception of BESPIN. *Ahem*

TMBJ is ok, but I wouldn't want to use it in a regular rotation. (Just my two cents.) I would recommend Matrix Dojo, naturally, but it's too small. wink.gif

That leaves the possibility of:And... that's it - the only one I've found to be very playable by all. I love CarbonFreeze, but many have issues with that one. So, I guess that's out. Bummer. And many of you seem to like StarHell, but I seem have issues with that one. I'm probably the only one, though.

you carbonfreezechamber2 is a good map I wouldn't mind having that one.

Can you get me a linky-poo?

...No comment. smile.gif

Just so you know, the bar/dance floor crap is in the center of the map. (Had a great FFA in the pantry, though.) All travel to other areas is off of that central space. Good duels in larger Oriental arena (last door on the left, tele to get there). Bespin pad a little smaller than original Bespin, I think.

Posted by: *HAMSTAR* Apr 15 2004, 10:01 PM

wow that map looks pretty cool what do you guys think?

Posted by: LPDarkJedi583 Apr 16 2004, 05:56 AM

wow just like wow its like a better Bespin map and i mean better.

Posted by: Ruggiero Apr 16 2004, 07:47 AM

if the review mentions poor fps, then it probably is not worth the use. I will poke around too...

OR MAKE ONE.

yes, i like that last idea the best.

Posted by: InfiniteWarrior Apr 16 2004, 06:10 PM

Yes, that would be preferable. You serious? biggrin.gif Woohoo!!!!

Posted by: JayBaen Apr 16 2004, 07:58 PM

Universal is not half bad. It does have a few FPS drops, but seemingly only in the "main" center room (which, isn't where you'd be dueling anyway).

Not bad. I'll get it on the server (not in rotation) so that we can test drive it sometime.

JB

Posted by: InfiniteWarrior Apr 24 2004, 04:09 PM

Remember the Jedi Academy map? (June 2002) Great FPS. Nice dueling areas. Used to play this one on the A**hole Free and TMBJ servers. Maybe this'll jog your memory:

But, since I can't find a link to it, I've put the map http://www.revelstonekeep.com/downloads/ffa_jedi_academy.zip for your consideration.

Posted by: *HAMSTAR* Apr 24 2004, 04:34 PM

they just made another academy map thats just like the on in SP with the droids to practice with and everything for JKA I still don't know if it works on jk2, its called the REAL jedi academy at jk2files.com

Posted by: TheBeast Apr 25 2004, 09:49 AM

Yeah Great map... The Jedi Academy one.

The version Infi is showing in her screenshot (v2 I think)... was my home for quite a while... when I was training to become 'RJ material' smile.gif

Naturally it is the map of the Jedi Academy community (http://www.thejediacademy.net)... and I have to agree with infi... great dueling area... great FFA area and great FPS.

But... if we want to include it in our rotation... maybe we should ask... even if it's out of consideration.

Beast ...

Good idea. Since you have some 'history' with them, would you mind doing the honors?

In the mean time, I've added Jedi Academy and Universal maps to the server so that we can all look at them some evening.

JB

Posted by: TheBeast Apr 25 2004, 06:59 PM

WEll Jay... done what you ask and here is the answer I got from the Community Liaison of the Jedi Acamedy

QUOTE
Beast,

Yes, I do indeed remember you. smile.gif

Well, you certainly have come to the right person, both because I am the 'Liason' and I actually built the map. Hehe.

I noticed that you mentioned wanting to include the Map into a Server rotation for JO?
I should let you know that the Map was built specifically for JK:JA, and although the Map could be used for JO, it wouldn't be as good and you may encounter quite a few errors/bugs.
The most obvious/common would be the missing Textures. As you probably already know, JK3, uses alot of new textures and has renamed alot of the ones kept from JK2. This also inclused system textures such as area portals, hint brushes etc, which could drastically decrease FPS and increase Ping/Lag.
The JK3 engne also uses a brighter lightmap intensity than JK2, therefore, the map will appear alot brighter than it is when run on a JK3 Server.

Nevertheless you have my blessing to use it on your Server. smile.gif I'm always thrilled to hear that people enjoy it and want to run it on their own servers.

And thank you for contacting me about this aswell, I appreciate your honor.
Good to hear from you again.

- Virtue.


I think he thought I was talking about the latest version of the Jedi Academy Map... but if we want to use it on the JK2 server... we would have to use a prior version (v2 I think)... but I guess we still have there blessing smile.gif

Posted by: JayBaen Apr 27 2004, 02:24 PM

Thx Beast, good form.

I played the version that Infi gave me the linky-poo to, and it ran just fine on JO, so maybe we have the right version after all.
