The Truthful Liar Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Behold. Screenshots look darker than they are ingame. Canyon textures by yours truly and metal textures by Subverse. What say ye? :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pnut_Man Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I say that's one high quality CTF map. I'd like to play there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorus Ardel Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 That's a great looking map. How's the framerate? Only reason I ask is because my current video sucks, and it looks like you have a lot of brushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 About 80 fps solid for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge2211 Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 It's just glass. Mirrors would be...uh...a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

__CKY__ Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Very good looking. I like how you made all the little walkways that you can fall off lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 You need less ambient lighting/more light sources, and more variation in canyon textures. Making them darker overall would also help them to fit in. An easy way to variate them would be brightness. Other than that, it looks excellent. I like the architecture a lot, especially the vastness. That open feeling was missing in JO.

The Truthful Liar Posted May 21, 2003 Author Share Posted May 21, 2003 Thanks for the comments everyone. ; ) There wasn't any ambient lighting in those shots. I've managed to brighten it up abit since, mainly around the middle. I had openness in mind when constructing the map, to bring back what JK1 had and which JK2 lacked. I'd also like to point out that this map is meant mainly for gameplay, there are haredly any details placed (which is going against the other maps I'm working on), the most you'll see are railings in the team bases. :] I'll consider variating the textures' brightness, although I do want to get this map out the door soon, probably by this friday.

starunner Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Looks good, I really like those metal fence/sheilds that protect the bases. Plus you've managed to avoid that repeating rock effect, (something I'm trying to get to grips with at the moment). I personally don't think you need to vary the rock any more than you already have. About the lighting, I'm not sure Emon was suggesting you'd used the actual "ambient light" setting. I think he meant that most of the light seems to be coming from the sky, rather than from artificial sources. Adding these sources might add to the atmospheric depth and create a more "industrial" look to the more built-up areas (such as the flag bases). I wouldn't say the map needs it though. It looks excellent as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kengo Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 JK2Files maybe? This map sure looks a lot of fun, rocks look good to me...reminds me of badlands from TFC a little, one of my all time faves. TL, you're a file poster at jediknightii.net aren't you? Whats going on with that, is the server still down/ Its been months and months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldritch Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Lots of people. Especially ones who want to get a little practice in on your map without playing it online. Bot support should be included with every decent map, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wudan Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Well, bots suck in general, but bot support takes 5 minutes to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRSLou Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 Unfortunately, he was not joking...but I did take a look at it, very nice overall gives a kind of JK/MOTS feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa_0 Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Wow! This maps takes me back to my old JK days of going to The Valley Of The Jedi. Very Nice map, I hope you continue to work on more maps like this in the future. Keep up your good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff 42 Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I love this map! The wide-open nature of the place is so great. You can get some really nice speed built up strafe jumping along the lower or middle levels, but you have to be careful or you'll fall to your death. I've already played it a few times on the Flux Gateway server and it's been great fun. But unfortunately the biggest game I've played it in was about 8 people, and I really think this map would be ideal for about twice that many, but I'm afraid I'll never get to experience that.

Jeff 42 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Hey, any chance this awesome map will be converted and released for JA? I just tried playing it in JA and it seems to work fine except that the sky is completely messed up. I don't think a whole lot of people actually got to play this map for JK2 and with a re-release for JA I bet it would gain a wider audience. It's really a fantastic map.

The Truthful Liar Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 Thanks for your comments Jeff, I'm back on LF now but unfortunately won't be playing JA. I might do a re-release, if it's not to late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wudan Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 No JA for the Liar? Let's hope that's a Lie .... but wait! He's also Truthful! It's sooo confusing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
