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!

As always, the map just gets better and better.

Great job on reducing the frame drops. That was my biggest issue with the map. All cleared up now.

Sweet map Dom, beautiful work *tear*

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Aeth, you can get there by turning on cheats and using noclip on your own server. You could also try to beg and plead with a JAT or JAC to teleport you there. Or if someone is in there you can go into spectator mode and view from them, then you'll be in there.

i like that version very much so far :) nice new glass, cool dark room. i'm ok with the modern design, i couldnt see the "old" JA anymore anyway ;) i dont like the pit-changes too much though, i'd prefer a plank like the old one, one straight line from the door to the middle of the dueling platform. and it would be cool if it not only just hover in air but be placed on a pillar or something. but what am i picking about? map is great!

edit: cool addition to the council room btw. but could you tell the coordinates of the JAT room or give a way how to ge there in spec mode? if i cant teleport there, i want at least have a look at it once :)

Nice work! Although I don't understand why you went with "modern" platforms in the renovated rooms instead of sticking with the matrix mat style. And why are the spawnpoints still so far away? :(
