DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I read quite a lot of the threads here, and if I was really desperate to increase my post count, I would reply more often. For the sake of irony, post count ++ Now my opinion of the map: It looks good, however the texturing needs work, and the map is far too isolated to provide the feel of the Kamino capital, or anything at all. I know about the r_speed issues but it really looks like that one structure from the walkway is just to make the walkway lead somewhere. Skybox could use some work, Bryce isn't the best tool for making skyboxes, the water is far too bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichDiesal Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 He's obviously being critical because he made another Kamino map that's very similar to mine. It differs highly, however, in gameplay... namely the fact that apparently his r_speeds are psychotically high... I notice a drop in framerate to unplayable levels with r_speeds above 15k (with all NPCs), and I have a feeling that his map will be far beyond anything remotely playable, at least for me. I have kept mine below that number for that explicit reason. He also wastes 2.5MB on a skybox, which is a complete waste of time and of graphic memory, IMO. My map is designed for gameplay, with the player in mind. If he has a problem with that, he can just leave my thread. Also, since he implied it, his also doesn't have the feel of the City whatsoever as there is no tower, no city, no anything. Mine is just a lone landing platform for dueling. I, for one, don't waste time on eye candy when the player will suffer for it. I will, however, admit that in looks alone, Detritic's map is much better. I just wouldn't play on it. It's like an extremely hot woman. Fun to look at, but once you figure out what sort of bitch you hafta deal with, it becomes much less enjoyable. Besides, everyone knows that all the mappers from Massassi are just pissy that there hasn't been a Jedi Knight game in five years. They've all been sitting over there stewing and now that want to unleash their hatred upon the rest of the communities. I, for one, don't care for it. The Massassi community is dying as no new people want to go over because it's such a highly unfriendly atmosphere. Actually, even when the original JK was "the game to play" they were pretty hateful anyway. I suppose that's just the people they attract. This is exactly why I never hung out there. In any case, I'm done with arguing. Now with that out of the way... The single player version is just a ladder type map with some cinematics thrown in... nothing altogether special, it's just exactly the kind of simple Kamino SP map I personally would want to play... more enjoyable that spawning Reborn endlessly.

Sounds great! Can't wait(well, maybe I can, maybe i have to, oh well...) Ladder maps are very fun, but may I make a suggestion? Put weapons all over the place(y not? you don't have to use them), and have the characters start with saber-less guys(stormies and others...). And have it progress up, and mix them up alot(stormtroopers and reborns with a shadowtrooper and a couple rodian all being watched over by a probot or two) That would be fun! But, it's just a suggestion, you don't have to implement it(oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please do) :no wampa smily:mad: make one jk2.net!: Roar!

Kit Fisto Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Don't ugly up the map by having little floaty weapons everywhere, just make the player spawn with all weapons, or have the player spawn with just the blaster and lightsabre and make them collect their weapons from the various alien thugs/ imperials that they are made to fight early on before the nastier reborn etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedialphaknight Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 hey detritic, I know the guys who run jedioutcastmaps.com, and why they don't visit these forums I dunno, but ummm yeh see they have 200 maps now, and...........you have I dunno, I think its easier for someone to go to one site to get all their maps rather than have to go to 3 or 4 sites.

RichDiesal Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 They don't have near as many because they "review" maps before they put them up... meaning some bozo in charge looks at a map, determines if it makes him happy, and then posts it if he feels like it. Personally, I'd rather let the people decide! And by the way, I don't think the jomaps guys will put maps up unless someone directly emails it to them... maybe that person went behind your back? Anyway, no more arguments on my thread! This is MY THREAD and my final release is coming up! SO HUSH UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniS Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 I remember some people mentioning that its going to be difficult to implement rain.

RichDiesal Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 Wow that looks...blue. And YES, the SP version will have rain as rain is supported in SP. Rain is not supported in MP, so there will not be rain in MP! How many times must I go over this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
