Darth_Lando Posted December 27, 2001 Posted December 27, 2001 I have begun editing Quake 3 in preparation for editing Jk2. I have come up with an idea for a 1on1 saber duel map. It is set over a lava pit so you have to be careful where you step as you saber duel. Sounds very simple and plain but I have been playing this with bots and it is quite challenging to have to concentrate on 2 things while fighting. Currently it is designed for Quake game play but I will tweak it for Saber techniques. Here are some pics <a href="http://users2.ticnet.com/cscafe/iv/greed/terrain1.jpg">This pic show the terrain of the map. </a> <a href="http://users2.ticnet.com/cscafe/iv/greed/pit.jpg">In the middle of the map is what we call "the pit". This is where the best powerups are located. This is a very deceptive area as it is easy to get in but hard to get out of.<a/> <a href="http://users2.ticnet.com/cscafe/iv/greed/Lava.jpg">Here is a view from lava level.</a> I will be releasing this map for the Quake 3 community soon if you are interested in playing it.
Darth_Lando Posted December 27, 2001 Author Posted December 27, 2001 Don't worry. If you get JK2 you'll be able to play the best version of it anyway.
Darth_Lando Posted December 27, 2001 Author Posted December 27, 2001 Digl, here are the smaller versions of the Jpegs. I hope I don't get in trouble by posting these. If so i will take them down.
digl Posted December 27, 2001 Posted December 27, 2001 thanks now the others work too I dont think Its easy to pick up those things and getting out alive without being blown away by a rocket launcher!! Itll probably be better in JO for saber only battles
matt-- Posted December 27, 2001 Posted December 27, 2001 Darth_Lando, Why would you be in trouble for posting pics? If we didn't want you to, the admins can disable it. They didn't take that long to load anyway. Keep up the good work. I look forward to playing it.
Agen Posted December 27, 2001 Posted December 27, 2001 looks great but one thing i see there a sort of bit which u can walk round on the sides. what about u do a thin bridge across so u can battle on that maybe u fall u'll prob get killed but u can land on the platfromy thing then u can battle more and then oopsy daisy and fall in.
Darth_Lando Posted December 27, 2001 Author Posted December 27, 2001 Some forums are more conservative to posting pics than others. I just don't want to step on any toes here. Well for JK2 version it will be spiced up than this one. I was thinking about a walkway over the lava pit and two spawn points in other rooms from the lava pit to allow other areas to saber duel in. That way people don't have to always duel in the lava pit if they don't want. I figure that may help the longevity of the map (assuming people play it more than once .
nykel007 Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 Nice looking pics. Sorry I don't have Q3. Don't get me wrong I hope, not just hope, pray that there is editing but how you'll are sounding, it seem that there is editing. Have I missed something?
digl Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 No you havent there is no official anonucement yet about editing
nykel007 Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 Don't worry it would be edited somehow:D . there are a lot of bright people around.
Millions o' Monkeys Posted December 29, 2001 Posted December 29, 2001 yes...unfortunately im not one of them, in that field anyway
Darth_Lando Posted December 31, 2001 Author Posted December 31, 2001 For those of you with Quake III you can try me and crustys map out at: http://users2.ticnet.com/cscafe/iv/greed/Greed.zip Just put the .pk3 file into your Quake 3 arena/baseq3 folder and start the game. Select single player then skirmish mode and cycle through the maps until you see Greed. Note: this isn't how the Jk2 map will exactly be. This is designed to play with Quake bots. But you can imagine what it would be like to saber duel on a map like this. Bots are already added to the map. Have fun!
JekRendar Posted January 1, 2002 Posted January 1, 2002 Make the room larger. Add some cliffs. Remember Force Jump will be avaiable. So, it might end up being a race for who can get to the power ups and then jump back to fight. It will be interesting.
digl Posted January 1, 2002 Posted January 1, 2002 I just played against bots and it was total maddness, I think the level will be really interesting in JO though you could add some high areas that you reach only with jump, to fight in a different setting
Darth_Lando Posted January 2, 2002 Author Posted January 2, 2002 Originally posted by digl I just played against bots and it was total maddness, I think the level will be really interesting in JO though you could add some high areas that you reach only with jump, to fight in a different setting Yep. I already have some ideas cooking up for this map. However, I am not going to bother making any changes until the editor for JK2 is out. I am just going to go back to reading tutorials and creating small maps so when the JK2 editor comes out I should be able to create almost everything I can concieve. Thanks for the feedback guys! If any of you are interested in being beta-testers for the single player game I want to make be sure to check back with me this summer :D
Wilhuf Posted January 2, 2002 Posted January 2, 2002 Keep up the good work Darth_Lando. As you find them, be sure to post links to good tutorials and tips to our Jedi Outcast Editing Resource Thread.
Logan SkyWalker Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 hey im very interested in editing map but i dont know how, can someone teach me plz ? where do i have to go ?
StormHammer Posted January 7, 2002 Posted January 7, 2002 You could try the Editing General Forum, where you will find the thread Wilhuf just linked to... Good luck with your map-making.
