Your comments on a new map are needed -DJ Sith - Jan 15 01:01am

One of the points at our last meeting was that our map may need the council room and basement chopped off since they're unused & to save framerates. This was decided at the meeting, but is it really what the Academy wants? Post your thoughts on this please.

I liked the old map myself. I think the old mep size with some of the new touches(platforms,the glass room) would be cool.

i think that there should be a new map with more training rooms, and a small coucil room(you dont need that much space to talk privately), a better place to train wit guns, etc. basically better training places, less decorations and useless stuff.

I might make a reccomenation to Mr dC to put some portals in between doors to help the framerate too :)

Something like the pillar/platform room in the jedicouncil map without a fatal drop would be useful.
The basement as you put it is pretty but pretty redundant also. I have only been there a couple of times.

i agree that we should lose the rooms, as far as i can see they serve no real purpose. A Force practice room and jump training room would be sweet. :)

I think the space could be better used for training purposes... There are still many areas of the game still missing a room of their own. :)

These rooms are both very impressive, but they do lack in use somewhat... If Dom is up to the task, I say make more useful rooms in their place. If we just erase those rooms, we may as well use the old map. :eek: *Yes, I realize more than that was changed.*

Anywho, that's my opinion.

The lost temple (guess that's what you call it) and the pillar room are the only two rooms that my framerate is at it's highest. I use the basement to warmup and pillar to duel, considering there's someone else in there. As for matrix, you can usually see me behind the observation glass, because when I duel in matrix, I usually am killed by lag. So, I say something's gotta go, but, then again, I get to install me new graphics card this weekend, so, you can also count me neutral. If it stays, so be it. If it goes, we'll just have to get used to it. But anyway, GL on your decision. Wheee :D:D:D

To Be total honest i think high members :) Should have a meeting and talk about what exactly the map needs. Bigger outside area for guns would be nice with a seperate traing part for each gun, or tactics. More pit style rooms with diffrent fatalitys underneat and diffrent plank withds. Nice council room for council ppl only :) Somewhere were we can put on our cossies and have a swim about. Also to make it even more good you make it in such a way it can be used as a ctf. Talk to me if u need ideas for training areas and the alike i got loads.

I like the rooms. I have no frame drops but maybe thats just my computer and cable connection.

If they have to go though, then replace it with something cool. I got a lot of good ideas if anyone wants some.

Well...I agree that we chop does off(sry for youre hard word derelict) BUT we should replace both by let's say more USEFUL rooms like...A ROCKETBALL ARENA!!!!:D:D HAHA. No seriously we should do like a meeting point or something like a...FFA room or jump training(notice lots of us needed jump training) or Force Training (pushing pulling object) or just a plain good ol'POOL!!!

READ THIS!! i think if your gona do anything :) change the spawn room to look a bit more spawn like, add a council room on the left of the current coucil bit and somewhere add a swimming pool, tho flooding the new temple to the sides would be f00kin kewl

I like the two rooms, but it's really
not important for me (basement and the new spawn point). If possible, it would be really good (i think) if some new duel rooms (not as big as the basement) where made (to replace the two rooms).

Although those rooms do look good there is no specific purpose for them, all the other rooms have a purpose e.g. matrix room for practise, pit room for close dueling, glass room for trials

So I say get rid of them and if there was to be any new rooms, make them so that they have a purpose and not just for fancy eye candy.

i assume the council room is the room with the floating saber...

well.. i vote against taking those rooms out. i know it affects fps but i got a mega-good graphics card!! :D i do realize a lot of people greatly suffer from this though so i wouldn't mind if those rooms were taken out. just count my vote as a "no".

I like the map, but agree that it does screw with frame rates and pings....

I'd be OK either way...so count me as a neutral
