JK2 Siege

Sup,

For my final project in one of my computer science classes, the prof left it up to us, we just had to clear it with him.

I have cleared it with him, to added siege mode to JK2.

I am open to any and all suggestions for this.

I have a few questions though.

I know very little about making maps in jk2 or jk3.

How hard would it be to convert one of the JK3 maps back to jk2, is this even possible?

Would anyone be interested in making a map for me?

Is there anything you dont like about JK3 siege I could try to improve on.

Also, I dont wanna mess with to much ui (user intergace) code, I could use the base models to select the different classes (pilot = assult, shadowtrooper = scout, etc)
Or I could use console commands, this way the client (you ppl playing) could be any model you want, and selct you class like so:

/ class <class>
/ kill

Unlike jk3, I when you select a class it will take effect the next time you do, this to me is better than just killing you right away. I find that very annoying.

Look forward to your input.

EDITED AT: 4:30 PM EST Nov 18.

Another idea for the siege clases, would be the console commands still but they would choose the model for you.

/class assult // would give you the pilot class
/kill // new class info takes effect

Sup,

This is tabled for a while, when i started it, I did it for the purpose of doing it and because I "supposed" to be able to use it for the final project in one of my CS classes. But like a week after this post he changed the requirements, it became neccasary to use classes, I wont have a chance to get back to this until summer 2004, if you would like to help I need someone to make me a siege map for jk2, I am not sure if this is possible and am not interested in mapping myself.

Sup,

That would be great,you realize I need an map with "events."

I only want something SIMPLE, say 2 events for the map. One to progress the team spawn points, and one to make the map end.

This would be amazingly appreciated!

You're going for a lot on this one. I hope you can handle it.

Sup,

Thanks C1 I will have to look into that.

As of now the big issue is that to make the mod as cool as I want it to be, I will need to make changes to all parts of the SDK (server side, client side, UI) Which is just annoying since clients will then have to download the mod to play on those servers :(

(Assuming anyone is ever interested in playing it)

Its called SAGA mode, and its unfinished in jk2. Hence renamed to Seige and finished for jk3.

Hmm, I cant do mapping at all but the idea sounds good. I can see if I have some people I know that might help with this only I am not sure we can do much since Lucasarts hasnt released their codes yet so we would be guessing in the dark when it comes to writing the proper codes for siege...
