About This File

BlueIce Nightfall

 

Probably the map I am most proud of - it's been a long time coming, I just wish Id finished it several years ago when the community was

still more active, but better late than never! Think of this as a sequel to BlueIce Twilight, its set in the same world after all but

this is a more dense settlement, yet cozy and warm, away from the harsh weather of the world.

Having been a part of the testing, I can confirm that this is probably the sexiest JKA map there is. Looks extremely pretty, what with the snow, and the night time (exceptional lighting). I can think of no map that pays better attention to detail. Both the exteriors and interiors of the buildings look very detailed, and realistic. There are even cart tracks in the snow on the road (this is not just a texture, there is an actual indent in the snow), complete with curving track intersections at junctions.

 

I could go on for ages, but in short, this map is very immersive and awesome to behold, so download it, and explore it yourself!

It's pure awesomeness!!

 

I thought you gonna release it as winter comes but the feeling that we can explore it so soon ah there is no words. :D

 

Well done!

 

10/10

Completely amazing as always!

 

It's maps like this that make me want to give up mapping under the condition "why bother." :P

 

Seriously awesome work, love the lighting and the mood it brings... I would rather play the level void of any NPC's and inhabit the land with my imagination than attempt to wage any conflict... star wars or otherwise. It would start with the exploration of the world as my imagination slowly adds people to the scene like a hallucinogenic movie. Soon it would turn into nonsensical talking to myself as others stray from my entranced state with the thought of "wtf is he doing?" clearly upon their faces.

 

Long story short ***** or 10/10

 

Just outstanding in all aspects!

one issue, you need to animate your grandfather clocks, but rather then that, I compared it to the only other snow level I love from a video game, PC version of 007 Nightfire, the austrian castle, set up in a snowy pine tree filled mountain top, I didnt feel Like I was playing JA at all, I felt like I was in a RPG game, exploring the elements of a frozen cold city. Id deffinatly reccomend this map for anyone, weither its for fighting, or just chilling in, no pun intended

Looks great man! Glad you finally found the time to finish this up.

 

Sorry that I was unable to give feedback on this, or even just test it for ya. Though you don't need it as much as some other people do.

Before I start to share those 2 little tiny bug I've found, I have to say this was gougers! I love it, have to play an rp around Xmas on this. (and 5 starts of course)

 

shot0060_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg

 

at this place bots seems to stuck in for some reason :/ (sometimes they randomly died I don't know why, probably they fell of from somewhere I say this just for the record)

 

shot0055_www.kepfeltoltes.hu_.jpg

 

there is a tiny little thing floating there every time after I go in from outside, then it disappear. I don't know what it is I guess you just deleted something from there.

 

Last but not least there is another thing which can't be helped and it's not your fault (it's the game's), so I won't bother you with that.

 

Anyway I was amazed when I saw the gears rolling!

 

and just a random question for the end, are the teleporters in the wardrobes have any sequence to follow, or they just teleport you randomly?

I didn't even think this was using the JKA game until I heard the sound of you landing. It was a immersion breaking moment. It feels like a Winter Cabin I wish I had.

While playing on this map with clanmates we found a bug where you can go above the clipped area so you are walking above the map and even get access that part which is under that balcony. If ya need I will attach screens later. :)

I really really really really ***LOVE*** this map! Sure my computer lags as heck when I play it as it's an older one, but to be in this level is pure relaxation. Makes you feel all nice and comfy and cozy. :D Would just wish that it has some mini-minor fixes. :D I downloaded this version, 1.1, and actually the bots still get stuck. They move more than before (especially red team in CTF), but they get stuck behind doors. Also, really feel this map could use some more pick-ups. Health dispensers, bacta, ammo, shields... you know, just some more. :) Would be cool seeing it foggy too (like fog in Hoth - or just Coruscant Streets CTF map fog, though white instead of green - as that fog on that level doesn't blind player when using sniping zoom) as well as in daylight. You think you could do those minor adjustements? I am EAGERLY awaiting your next piece of art! :D Amazing!
