Alegis Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 too bad i can't test, since i'm leaving on vacation tomorrow...i'm really jumping from toe to toe when it involves siege maps. yeah the new siege maps are a bit rished, its why i look so much forward to this map, except dont fek up the classes somethign i found which feked up the new siege maps is that jedi classes got ALL (light+dark force powers) etc, really please dont fek them up (i dont like dark and light side powers fixed) i see you got pickuble sniper rifles..its not very siege like though (in ffa you can come to the same place several times, but in siege you move on) I wish the best of luck for this map, it truly looks awesome!

monsoontide Posted February 21, 2004 Author Share Posted February 21, 2004 Hi Andy867 Well, the latest iteration of the map has compiled and I'll have it pk3'ed tonight, so I just need to know where to send it. (It'll be a VERY large file!!! - prob about 20 - 25mb) As far as classes go, I've set them up according to who the character is. Thus for Luke Skywalker, while he has predominantly light side powers, he also has Force Grip level 2 (As seen in ROTJ) However, it will be up to the testers to really work out the kinks in the gameplay so it is well balanced. This SIEGE map isn't quite like the Raven ones where you progress from one region to the next. It's more of a cat and mouse hunt through the castle with the Jedi having to decide whether to split up to do the objectives more quickly (But thus become separated and weaker) or to keep together as a team (And do the objectives more slowly) The Sith team has to work out how best to stop the Jedi from completing the objectives. I still have some changes I want to make to the map, including one major strctural change - as I'm not happy with one of the rooms. But it'll really be playtesting that determines what changes need to be made at this point. Since each side has a player type that is non Jedi, I included weapons, since I get fed up with being stuck with the same stuff the whole game. This may change, again according to playtesting.

reapa Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 OMG WHEN AND WHERE CAN I GET THE PK3?!?! I WANNA DOWNLOAD IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE I CANT WAIT TO PLAY IT!! Ive been waitin for this since I heard u were converting oooooo please reply soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsoontide Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 OK, spent til 1:15 last night reworking a major section of the map and it makes much more sense - To me at least Merged the computer mainframe and the power core into one room, which allowed me to make the castle one room shorter (Thus hopefully speeding up compiling) and giving me back a few func_brushes to use on more interesting things. Also have yet to do the bot routing - So anyone who wants to practice the map can have an opponent(s) that don't just hop around insanely! Once Andy867 gets back from his weekend away I'll hopefully be able to upload to him and the team to playtest - which is the part I'm most interested in (And dreading also! ) For anyone interested, the current teams are: Academy: Luke Mara Kyle (Dual Sabers) Jan (non-force) Jaden Rosh (Saber Staff) Sith: Noghri (Non Force - but VERY fast) Reborn New Reborn Boss Reborn Twin (Saber Staff) Cultist Alora 2 (Dual Sabers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsoontide Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 Had it ready last night to send and everything was fine until I tested it out in game. It seems that while misc_model_statics load fine in mp devmap mode they won't work in regular game mode. So back to square one. All the models are now black (or have black parts) again. Sigh Anyway I changed them all back to misc_models and it's compiling again and I should be able to get it to you later tonight. It won't effect playability but it will look like crap. I'm really hopping mad about this. It's a might big file though!!! I'm trying to keep it as slim as I can but it's north of 30mb! It was over 40 til I striiped out all the uneeded custom voices I did. Should be ready for you Wednesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsoontide Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 Hi Andy867, Just uploading to the site you specified now (at 56k ) SO will take all night (If it works!) If not, I'll take it to work tomorrow and transfer it there. Did some crude bot routing and checked the level to make sure all the textures/objects/models were there. Everything is working except for a couple of broken shaders on the Sith Holocron and the hologram of mon mothma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeskywalker1 Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 A lot of siege maps have been released latley, but this one looks really good. I tried DLing the JK2 version a long time ago, but the DL kept cutting off, so i quit trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsoontide Posted February 27, 2004 Author Share Posted February 27, 2004 Well, I'm happy to report Andy867 has the map and it seems to be working fine for him. He's busy organizing a server to test it on, so once the testing is done and any necessary changes made as a result of the testing, expect the map to be released WID (When It's Done!)

THX Reapa LOL, 30 megs in an email, I would pay to see that I would enjoy seeing a ffa-version of this map--one without barriers that must be destroyed, or doors that must be unlocked, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Actually, its only 24.2MB at the moment, but I did notice a few missing textures around pillar areas. But the server is up for those who have it 24.217.133.29:29071 its only set for 6 people so whoever has it should plan to arrive soon if you want a spot (depending upon how many beta testers there are) The connection may be fast, but until I get the final server ready, the server used is kinda slow, so expect choppiness every now and then, but hopefully not too much.
