Version 4 of The Jedi Academy Released! -=Derelict-Crusader=- May 02 08:13pm -50 comments- |
|
No big speeches, just a run down of what has been changed: - Glass room has been redesigned to make way for more dueling room, the design is much like the "matrix room" but with a twist. (Old concept from the very first Beta of the JA map.) - The "Pillar room" has YET AGAIN been redesigned. The lighting in the room is very dim and should make for some very cool saber duels! - A special area has been added for the JAC and JAT. It can only be reached with the use of teleportation powers through the use of "The Jedi Academy Mod - The "Pit" or "Plank" room has been slightly modified. Walk-on access has been added and Duel staging lines have also been added. Water received some tweaking too. - Council room spawn points have been changed in order to prevent player interference. - 2 more spawn points have been added between the old 2 spawning areas. - All the buggy area-portals have been fixed. What this means is that the frames are solid everywhere you go! - A whole new bot-route; the most comprehensive route for the JA yet! (Desann did a lot of running during testing) - Door closing speeds have been changed in order to preserve FPS, this ties in with “area portals.” - A lot of other minor level tweaks and details have been done. - All the observation decks received an extra Shield and Bacta Canister. Enjoy the latest version! Download Version 4 -DC Servers will be updated today. |

Jedi Academy Version 4 Input -=Derelict-Crusader=- May 01 08:57pm -68 comments- |

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 |
