pud1 Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 what exactly is holding you up on the terain? /me puts mindtrick on Antilles and makes him work on the map!
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 You guys want the horrible, horrible truth? Okay. I have a lot of trouble mapping things that I come up with myself. The only things I have no trouble mapping are things that I have either pictures of or schematics. Think about it: In a couple of days, I had the Barge, Skiff, and Pit all built, because I had pictures and plans of them. Then, on the part where I have to use my imagination and build something (the terrain), I'm stuck for a couple of days... See? It's not good, and this is the reason a lot of maps I made in the past got about 70% done, then were ditched. So this last part, the terrain, is really throwing me for a loop... I have to really struggle to get anything worth mapping. Hope you guys understand. I really appreciate all the nice comments, though, and I know that a lot of people are looking foward to my map, so I WON'T QUIT. It just may take a while. I hope you undestand.
Leagle Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 That the landscape around the pit is large dunes. I think ROTJ shows a basic layout when the barge is blowing up and they leave.
Darkhold X Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 How will people get from the Barge, to the Skiff? I was thinking it would be cool if there was some kind of catapult thing on each to shoot you acroos over the pit. It would add some danger. And on that pic of the sarlacc it looked about half the size it sould be.
Grets Sirob Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Quote Originally posted by Cmdr. Antilles I have a lot of trouble mapping things that I come up with myself. You know, that's exactly opposite of me! I have alot of trouble making levels where I need to follow a set path. I need to be able to comprimise and modify. However when I get done with my Mimban Temple levels, I will get to work on the original JK1 mp levels. I'll try anyway... btw, WIP? Roger Roger
pud1 Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Im just trying to figure out a way to help you along yet i know nothing of radiant or anything, but if you want, i can try to draw something where i see the inside of the barge. let me get to work on that
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 Yeah, let me see that. Grets Sirob - WIP = Work In Progress Darkhold X - There's this little thing called force jump. And the pit may be a little small... but I think it will do. It was hard to judge scale from the pics I had. And I know it's basically just dunes around there, but I can't have it go on forever.
pud1 Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 this really sux but maybe just maybe it can help you an incling of a bit keep in mind its my really really bad mspaint layout of the barge http://karnij.homestead.com/files/reallybadbargelayout.jpg hope that helped :/
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 Hmm... Tha'ts suposed to be 3d, right. Thanks. That helps a bit.
pud1 Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 yah if you compare it to the schematics, http://www.wcug.wwu.edu/~paradox/art/skift_schem.jpg you can see how you are supposed to get to jabba's room. It really isnt that much room, but it would be fun to duel in there
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 23, 2002 Author Posted May 23, 2002 I was going off of that cut-away... It makes a little more sense now, thanks.
normal Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 Cmdr. Antilles, here is a page with some great resources for the interior of the actual barge: http://www.theforce.net/swtc/decorate.html It has a location of where the mural is located as well.
Darth Caedes Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 There's nothing wrong with getting another mapper to help out, Agent007. -Darth Caedes-
pud1 Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 oooh i found this http://www.jax-inter.net/users/datalore/starwars/rotj3.htm NOW I KNOW THAT HAS TO HELP YOU!

Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 24, 2002 Author Posted May 24, 2002 All I have is MSN pcfragger@hotmail.com I'm never on, though.
FatboyTim Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 I had to post, just to say your map looks great. I can't wait to play it!
PainGod Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Cmdr. I have been away for a while now and wanted to say how impressed I am with this. I hope you will be as impressed with what I've been doing. Let's just say I'm ready to return the favor on the prefab you gave me. I'll email you on or about sunday with a little surprise. I have the same issue with "dunes" and anything that isn't already schema-ed, fyi. It sucks. Pg
Cmdr. Antilles Posted May 24, 2002 Author Posted May 24, 2002 Umm... Thanks... I'm assuming that you LIKED my prefab, and are sending me a GOOD suprise.
Verlex Posted May 24, 2002 Posted May 24, 2002 Looking great! got a few questions... 1. HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET IT TO LOOK THAT GOOD?! (I'm a n00b) 2. How bad are the frame rates? 3. Can we please see more screens? I like pretty stuff =P 4. Any ETA on release? If you need any help with finding more info I am sure that I and the other followers of this map would be glad to help... 5. Not really a question, but you rule.
