JDKnite188 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 The past three weeks have been extremely busy for me, but last weekend I decided to play some JA CTF. I got instantly addicted. The maps and pace are just too much fun! And then there is that 742 Evergreen Terrace Server . . . 32 player capacity! It's all good . The only problem I have with it is that they didn't include the JO maps. JO's Yavin, Bespin, and Nar Shaddaa CTF maps were and still are awesome. Even Garrison wasn't that bad . . . Thoughts? Any other CTF fans here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yolkboy Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Ah I love CTF! Its all I play! You can actually download the old maps from PC Gamemods They should be under the JA CTF section. The problem that I'm facing currently is midterms and some insanely high ping like 300-600 on this T1 line. I have to play early in the morning or late at night. Hmmm..... So much for sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Luke Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Yeah I love CTF at Chop Shop. Heaps of good fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-st-carebear Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 same here but i love CTF more at JO than JA you can perform more tricks there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 likewise, I like ctf in JO more, kick there and the maps..ctf_bespin *drools* (i only hated imperial) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Ah... Good o' CTF, used to play it a lot too. But now im addicted to siege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I never really got into CTF. Maybe I'll give it another try... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kengo Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 My personal fave CTF in JO was with Disruption.....very fast, veeerrrry dangerous! I must try to find a good server for that in JA... What do you guys think the best CTF maps for JA are? I think Nar Shaddaa was a classic for JO, though I quite enjoyed Garrison too for some reason. EDIT: I knew I recognised that name from somewhere. JDKnite188, you had some cool showcased work for JO SP back in the day - whatever happened with those? Any chance of some JA SP mapping goodness from you?

Amidala from Chop Shop Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Jedi Academy with wall climbing, dual sabers, saber staff + xMod2 for JK2-style flip kicks and rolling, JA SP pull-stab, and lots of other gameplay enhancements + the JK2 CTF Map Pack for ctf_ns_streets Nar Shaddaa Streets, ctf_bespin Bespin Air Shafts, etc. = heaven. I ran my server like that for awhile, but most people were too lazy to download the map pack despite my begging and pleading, so I gave up.

Kengo Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 That server set up sounds very cool It never seemed enough custom maps were used on servers for JO or JA, despite the massive selection of great ones avaliable. I guess peoples reluctance to download is a part of the problem, and then servers won't want to run them. What people need are reviews of maps...

gotcha8903 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 yes, reviews of maps would be great..............no wait, we already have a site in this community for that, and it has good reviews for all the ctf maps ive seen it must be the laziness (stupidity) of the community Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I love CTF! Sure it gets ruined when people don't know how to play (I teach them) or they whine incessantly (I kick them, though it's usually only when I join public games, ; p), but it's a great fun gametype. You pretty much can't go wrong with CTF, it's been fun in every FPS I've played it in, and it's fun in real life too. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird I agree, CTF is pretty much a sure hit, as long as there are some good maps for it. TFC is still my favourite game for CTF mayhem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Referring to original topic; Raven has only made one CTF map for JA and that was in the bonus map pack. All the base multiplayer maps except for Siege were made by Threewave Software. Anywho, I would have bothered playing JA CTF beyond the first week after release if it had felt like an improvement on JO rather than a huge step backwards. The maps are pretty but it just lacks the Quake 3 feel that I loved. And oh yeah... people played my CTF maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff 42 Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 Well, JA does have some drawbacks vs. JO, but the addition of wallclimbing adds a lot to CTF, and strafe jumping with Speed on feels smoother (to me, anyway). Detritic, you did make some great maps, not the least of which was Can Yun-O Ace Is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDKnite188, you had some cool showcased work for JO SP back in the day - whatever happened with those? Any chance of some JA SP mapping goodness from you? Yes, Kengo, the map you are referring to is a Single Player map that was going to be something completely non-linear. It has been a problem finding time to finish it, though. Fortunately, it has been converted into JA is a WIP. I hope to at least make it into the stature of what you and some other SP makers have achieved. I have been dreaming about the scope of my map. At first it was just one mission. Then I thought about making it into a whole Star Wars drama. Eh well, we will see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its easy to make things more and more epic and then they quickly become something you'll never realistically be able to finish. If it gets too much of an undertaking in one go, I recommend cutting it up into pieces and releasing smaller levels that build on each other. Too many projects die because they were just too massive for anyone to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
