SithDemon Posted September 12, 2002 Posted September 12, 2002 WOW that map is realy sweet! I like the textures and the nice back ground. GJ!
Eklin Posted September 13, 2002 Posted September 13, 2002 Wow. Great job. This has just become one of my most antisipated maps. I was kinda disappointed how Ep2 portrayed the Coruscant underlevels. In all the EU books, it describes the underlevels as disgusting, dark, infested and full of the worst people you'd ever meet. But when Obi-Wan went down to see his bartender friend, there was actually SUNLIGHT getting down there! How is this possible?! Also, it looked far too clean. But, anyways, this map is an excellent representation of the film.
DarkLord60 Posted September 13, 2002 Posted September 13, 2002 Well hey it was worth asking you. You got some talent and I am sure that level is bound to become a classic. Well best wishes to you to on your mod
Andy867 Posted September 16, 2002 Posted September 16, 2002 Eklin, you do realize that the EU isn't based on George Lucas's portrayal of the Star Wars Universe. All the EU did was seek permission to use the name Star Wars and characters and locations, but the GL Star Wars and the EU Star Wars are two completely different concepts. Because you have to consider that coruscant is in fact the housing of The Galactic Senate, so its not like they are going to not have trash disposal services. They are going to want to represent their city well. But keep up the good work starrunner.
starunner Posted September 16, 2002 Author Posted September 16, 2002 Phew... It took me a little longer than I thought I would, but I've finished. I'd forgotten how much trouble a leak can be to pin down. I've submitted it to the JKII.net files section, although in the meantime you can get the file here: http://www.starunner.web1000.com/cor_prom.htm Apparently the server has unlimited bandwith, so there shouldn't be a limit on how many of you can download it. If you do find you can't access it, just try again tommorow when the server resets. Thanks again for the support everyone. -On the coruscant thing, the impression that I got was that the lower into the city you go, the worse it gets. -(I think the city is supposed to be a few miles deep or something). In the film, I don't think that Anakin or Obi-Wan ever really went that deep into the city. I seem to remember one of the EU books talking about areas of Coruscant that were so deep they never got any sunlight. So maybe the film didn't contradict the books after all.
keo718 Posted September 16, 2002 Posted September 16, 2002 My goodness. This map is extremely well done and clean. It is a true pity that this is only a duel map. This would be an excellent start to a full FFA map. It's already one of my favorite. Starunner, please do a Coruscant FFA!
t3rr0r Posted September 16, 2002 Posted September 16, 2002 Originally posted by DarkLord60 Its little but framerate is excellent duel maps are meant to be small. and i agree with the others, if you were to make a coruscant ffa, it would surely be superb. hopefully a lower level, so we can see some more glowyness.
Padawan_7 Posted September 16, 2002 Posted September 16, 2002 Wow!!! This map is absolutly stunning!!! The textures are just... Please, keep up the breathtaking work!!!
LOTM_NadunHagar Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 f'n wonderful man. everything looked great. hard to belive it your first map, it give hope to people like me who dont lnow what the f were doing look forward to seeing more of your work:fett:
Eldritch Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. The new level looks awesome, I'll be downloading it shortly because Andy's new comp hasn't arrived or something so JKii.net hasn't been updated with the latest submissions. Would also love to see a larger FFA Coruscant map as there are no real Coruscant maps, excluding the Jedi Council/Temple maps... perhaps you could include the club seen in Episode 2? I seem to remember seeing someone working on it somewhere, but it wasn't all that impressive. Anyway, keep up the good work, and I look forward to future maps from you for Outcast. p.s. - Apparently no one reads that this IS NOT your first map ever, only the first for JO. -sigh- No one takes the time to *read* the thread anymore, they just go to the last post and spout off whatever inane question or comment has been said or asked a zillion times already.
keo718 Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Starunner, I noticed a minor glitch(if you'd call it that) in this map. On the uppermost walkway, when you walk on the edges it sounds as if your walking in water. Just thought I'd mention that.
Eldritch Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Keo, Certain metal textures when played in MP version of JO have a glitch that Raven has not yet fixed. This glitch causes the "walking on metal" sound to be replaced with the "walking in water" sound. I hope they get around to fixing it, because it limits the type of textures you can use (if you don't want it to sound like water)... it's quite a pain in the ass.
Andy867 Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 I heard that LivingDeadJedi kind of found a fix for the "watery metal" sound. But I can't remember what it is exactly, but I know there is a fix for it.
Eldritch Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 He found a fix, you say? Well that's all fine and dandy. I'll look into finding out what it is. But that's besides the point. Raven should still fix it, so we don't have to. Not trying to sound uppity, but I didn't buy the game so I could fix all the bugs in it.
The Truthful Liar Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 Simple: Just add a cushion brush on top. Also, nice work Cheers
monsoontide Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 You can use Shader Ed to modify the texture so it no longer emits any sound / or change it to the normal thud, thud, thud footsteps. It should really be fixed by RAVEN as you suggest - Don't expect to see that ANY time soon though :-( Also I would use the CLIP texture rather than cushion to make a thin layer. Cushion reduces the damage from a fall and may not be what you require. Monsoontide.
Eldritch Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 Never thought of clip as a way to fix it... and it's easier (for me at least) than changing it thru the shader ed... thanks for the tip.
The Truthful Liar Posted September 18, 2002 Posted September 18, 2002 Oh right, I meant clip >_< I use that all the time :D Cheers
starunner Posted September 18, 2002 Author Posted September 18, 2002 Ah... I wondered what that sloshing sound was. (I did mention it in the readme under "known bugs"). It didn't occur to me to try a clipping brush though -good idea. I may at some point revisit the level and work on a FFA version, but that'll probably be a while away yet. I'm pretty engrosed in designing my single player campaign at the moment. We'll see, though. Thanks to Jediknightii files for hosting the file, and thanks again for all the feedback. (Makes it all worthwhile).
wedge2211 Posted September 20, 2002 Posted September 20, 2002 THIS MAP IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! I just downloaded it...The textures are incredible, the level design is neat, it should make for some cool duels. Only I keep wanting to go through all those doors and see more.
keo718 Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 Only I keep wanting to go through all those doors and see more. Exactly. A coruscant FFA map would be incredible. Hopefully Starunner opts to do it.
