jarek Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 I'm hoping someone will make the multiplayer maps from JK2 playable in JA. Otherwise I will miss my favorite JK2 CTF maps! Hopefully someone can make it happen?
Neverhoodian Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 It will probably not be too hard to transfer JO maps over to JA, since they both run on the same engine. I hope the community can bring the CTF maps back too.
jarek Posted September 2, 2003 Author Posted September 2, 2003 Yeah, I was thinking it shouldnt be too hard. I just figured there might be a legal issue with someone outside of Raven/Lucasarts releasing those maps, since they were created by the company rather than just a map maker. The new CTF maps are cool, I just want to be able to play the new game with the old maps, ya know?
Gabrobot Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 Raven has said that Jedi Academy will 'Automagically' convert JO levels to JA by itself, so you don't need to worry.
Darth]-[azard Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 Hmm, maybe if somebody packaged the old Bespin Streets FFA YAY!

Andy867 Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 Actually, from what Ive heard, all you will have to do is drop any model/skin/hilt/saber into the base folder and it should run fine, although some have told me that they said that the Maps MAY need some MINOR tweaking.
|GG|Carl Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 Skins and model does work? YAHOOOOOOOO!!! Great news andy!
DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 there were good JK2 ctf maps?! The only way the majority of JK2 maps will work (immediately) in JA is if every major texture set from JK2 has also been used in JA...
Enjoi9187 Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 The pk3 contains all the textures for the map.
DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 No... The majority of maps don't have any custom textures, usually all a map pk3 has is a levelshot, a level script and the level. I know that there are only 3 files in the Bespin Towers pk3. It really comes down to: 1) will Raven include all the JK2 textures to make the transition seamless 2) if not, will they allow us to release maps with JK2 textures without legal issues. Although in fairness this is more a LEC issue than a Raven one.
boinga1 Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 I think they're referring to standard JO maps...which would have the textures.
StormHammer Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 I guess like everything else, we'll have to wait and see how easy (or troublesome) it is to use the JK2 maps in JO. I'd have to agree with DeTRiTiC though, that the CTF maps in JO left a lot to be desired. The Garrison one is the worst, and the tightest one with the best game flow is Bespin Shafts - but they all have issues. It would be good to see more CTF maps with better game flow, but I have a feeling there won't be many included in JA again. I'd be more inclined to play some of the better FFA and Duel maps from JO in JA.
