Old School Screenies/Demos

I was recently digging through ancient backups laying around and managed to find a CD labeled "JA Shiz".

It was filled with maps, mods and other little bits of crap. The most interesting thing I found was a folder full of literally thousands of screenies from my most active time here at TJA. There's also a load of demos recorded in game. There's even some Prom '04 screenies and vidyas.

If anyone is interested in seeing these I can upload them and we can have a laugh/nostalgia trip. It's really haunting watching a demo after all this time.

Also if anyone else has mass backups of old screenies and demos they can up them and advertise here so we can have a looksee.


tl;dr - I have lots of screenies and vids from 2004, does anyone care?


Okay here is the first lot up. These are some of my earliest screenies. Definitely not long after we first started at the Academy (by 'we' I mean me and Ris Win).

The Wampa ones are from Gradius server.

I'm uploading them in chronological order, too.

First half of prom ones are up. I'll do the rest tomorrow. I'm tired. :D

I have the old Academy beta 2 and 3. I seem to remember one of them used to break my skyboxes. I also found something called jedi_academy_v4_JAcompat. I think it is a JK: JA compatible version of the jk2 academy V4 map.

Mic, I'd love to see those screenshots and demo's and such just for nostalgia's sake. I'll dig into the bit I have collected over the years, although it probably won't be much. I'll let you guys know if anything interesting turns up.

Yeah some of the classes used to be packed back then and made for excellent screenshots - anyone remember the one class held by Virtue that this editor from some magazine attended? I used to have the demo of that, but unfortunately lost it.

Mic, that's great! I'm looking for some JKA screenshots for an interview we'll be getting very soon on a SWTOR fan site. Pick 2 or 3 of your favorites (Prom pics or something very TJA, like a class too).

Sort through them and pick out the good ones. I have a bunch of tja related screenshots from ~2004 too, but they're mostly just me pulling /q pranks on people and beating up Virtue in duels...

Hell yeah! I want to see these screenies that you have.
It'll be nice to have something to see you guys in the old days...probably before I even arrived to TJA.net.

Mic, just do it? <3
It always is freaking awesome to have some nostalgic/history documents of this place...

Me for example, I'm a nutty fan of JA.net's History :D
