Version 4 of The Jedi Academy Released! -=Derelict-Crusader= - May 02 08:13pm |
|
|
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. |

Use noclip and shoot through the ceiling of the pit room. You'll see it from there. And DC, in version 5, would it be THAT hard to allow people to go inside the windows and even fall out of them? And I really like the idea of hacing shutters, or unbrakable glass panes (I prefer both, with switches for each ) to be able to prevent people from falling? _______________ - Shadow Warrior |

The Jedi Academy just keeps getting better and better, thanks alot DC, marvellous effort. Just one thing, if you do have a v5, as Kronos suggested, I reckon you should get rid of the metallic feeling of the dark room and those two strips in the pit room. I mean, no offence DC, you have done more than I could ever do, but would Luke Skywalker, founder the the Jedi Academy, really order in some heavy machinery into an ancient temple just to give it a mech look? I personally prefer the simplistic and matrix mats _______________ Screen Name: Barabbas |

Hey Derelict, I got two things to say 1. Congratulation: you should be proud of your work cuz its amazing. Your the creator of a place where people think they're at home. Again Congrats!! 2.I have some decent suggestion for V5 (if V5 there is ). --You could put switches in all rooms that lower the windows like in the pillar cuz its really cool --You could do glass door instead of solid rock doors...its would be different --In the new glass room you could do a button that would close the side of the platform to do like a cage could be sweet for limited duels--A FFA training room INSIDE the temple That's all Kronos _______________ Stop with the stupid sigs would you? Yea sure, why not, i'll stop asking myself things too... |

Really cool map. Took me 4 minutes to find the teleport coordinates to the JAC/JAT piece of the temple. It's really great, I like the pillar room very much. It makes for some really different duels and setting. I LOVE YOU DC! _______________ Personal sleepness-nights-supporter of Virtue.

when you're configuring your server from the game menu, go to "Advanced" and make sure "pure server" is set to "no" or when you run your server, type devmap [mapname] and when it reloads it, type /sv_cheats 1 i think the cheat you're looking for is /noclip _______________ make install -not war This comment was edited by Bubu on May 03 2003 05:20pm. |
