Relle Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 The Chop Shop insta-gib server was turned into Fight Club again, so my favorite pasttime in this game is gone. I was using siege to replace it, but after a week straight of shooting people in siege, I'm getting pretty tired of it and the game in general. I heard at some point that Raven was making new siege maps, so...is this true? And if so, any idea when they'll be out? And if not, bah humbug!

Crow_Nest Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Raven should have made new siege maps in the patch or bonus map pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothiX Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Some Raven employees, like Ford Dye and Jesterspaz, will make some community bonus maps - their current CTF project is very nice. There will not be a second bonuspack, and it's unsure if Raven themselves will make another Siege map. However, you can always leave that up to the community.

JDKnite188 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I heard the Dark Forces Mod Team talking about Siege maps. They have requests, I think, on their website about needing people who have knowledge in ICARUS coding. My guess: THEY ARE MAKING A SIEGE MAP.

GothiX Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I think they're more interested in decent SP cutscenes, since Siege scripts should be rather simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDKnite188 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Nice work, Crow_Nest. I can't believe someone actually made another siege map. Now it is time to spread the news and get it up on a server if it is worth the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 how about a news poster puts this on the front page? It's a new siege map dangit! Imperial hangar: ... it's 'ok'..it's not big though, and jedi have all the force powers (light+dark) and saber+ guns etc, this is a bit feked up. It's just 'destroy this'. But hey, it's at least a siege map so it's decent to play on dr sues: AWESOME! This map is so funny though alas it's only bring the chrystal here and there, it's a bery original idea and i enjoyed testing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeskywalker1 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 "Imperial Warehouse Night Raid" That sounds nice, i dont think i would like the eternal lair of suess though... i especially dont like the file size. (56k) wait till it gets up on jk3files.com it will be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I tried both files, and I had some suggestions for improvements (already sent to the author). Basically, it's a good effort, but there are some things that need fixing (like the inability for the majority of classes to get out of the water, the lack of ammo, the overpoweredness of the Jedi class and the need for classes to be more differentiated by skin). The Jedi class has all the good force powers, fast regeneration, etc. He's the only one with Force Jump basically and the other classes, while they have guns, have no ammo resupplys (forgot to check if Techs can give them ammo or not, if not they should), so it makes them pretty weak, especially when they have to do demo duty. It's almost like he just wanted people to play as uber Jedi and forget about the others. If that was his goal, he should have disabled the other classes (very easy to do) but that would be boring, so I think he should either tone down the Jedi or enhance the other classes (and put some ammo stations up). There seems to be a bug on the "Suess" (Seuss?) map, I can only complete the objective of smashing the wall to the lair, the rock that leads to the ladder doesn't give me a completion message (and you can't go back up the ladder to see what's wrong) and thus you can't grab any crystals or complete the mission. Also the level design for Imperial Warehouse is far better (or at least more interesting). Since it's actually completable, for my money that's the one to play right now. Of course both maps could use Radar objective icons, an objective "map" (in the objectives menu) and other things like that, since it's hard to navigate if you haven't memorized the map backwards and forewards. Still, great that somebody is actively creating new Siege content. Hopefully this will be an inspiration to others! ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelchairboy Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I was on the ASE today and I saw a server running a map called siege_desert7 It caught my attention because it was in red saying that I didn't have it and I've never gotten that while looking for siege servers. does anyone have any info on this level? Check ASE. The server was locked so i couldn't join it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 They are probably testing a new seige map... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PR-0927 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Actually, I'm beta testing for a Siege map (I'd do more, but, I can't skin, map, model, map, etc.). It is the Battle of Endor and it has space and ground combat. The mapping looks pretty good, but it might take a while. Also, a Battle of Hoth Siege map with AT-AT's (probably Duncan's) is being created. Yeah for Siege maps!! (BTW: The Imperial Warehouse and the Dr. Seuss ones look horrible. It's not even Star Wars.)

So what? It has to be Star Wars to be good, then? Christ. Playing a Star Wars map OVER AND OVER can get boring, The seuss map is nice change of pace. I mean, A little variety never hurts.

Andy867 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 From my understanding, and crow knows that my many sources are RARELY wrong, there is a new SIEGE map in the works that is, of all things, Star Wars based, but I can assure you that first-hand looks of it are pretty promising, even more so than that of Siege Star Destroyer. I can't elaborate to much since the map is just in the early stages, but will definitely rank up there in downloads (seeing as how last I checked, SIEGE became THE most downloaded map in JK history, ranking in almost 4000 downloads in a 24 time period.)
