  1. lol, technically, they shoulda named it jediknight 4, cause the hints are all around that jka is jk3, like the name of the masterservers for jka, lol

     

    masterjk3.ravensoft.com, hehe.

    No.

     

    I dont see any hints around. We players, JK fans started calling it JK3. Stupidly there's even a website Jk3files.com.

     

    The game is called Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy.    - same as GTA San Andreas is not GTA4. That came much later.

  2. Ah yes.. the chasing skillz - in my honest opinion, learning how to poke or how to wiggle is not as cool as learning how to keep up with someone.
    Not only in  CTF but even in FFA duelling: reading the opponent is most awesome in JKO & JKA - never found anything like it in other games.

    Jedi Academy is a good game for the fact that you may learn anything as soon as you enter MP,  but experience always whoops ass.


     

  3. These textures are just helping me better imagine the final product, so don't be spooked by them :lol:I just wanted to show some progress.
    Im finally starting to get a realistic view of the scales, first I made some parts way to big. I mean I have to save a staircase and check it ingame twice to get it right.
     

    Its painful. But it's worth it. Like she said :shifty:

    I was thinking about adding more detail to the final textures, instead of using many brushes, since a duel map needs good FPS.

  4. I think a complete "reboot" would have been even better, means letting the movie take place in a completely different time than the previous movies.

    Maybe a hundred years before or after RotJ.  I like what J.J. Abrams did with Star Trek though and I hope he will do something similar with Star Wars.

     

    We'd be fools if we thought this idea never crossed his mind, but tt could have shared the same fate as Terminator: Salvation.

    It offered plenty of great effects but lacked the heart of the original films and was the first film in the series failing to meet Boxoffice Magazine predictions by 50%.

     

    Hard to say why JJ Abs decided to continue the saga, but I think it's the right thing to do, because if you watch StarWars Episodes 1 - 6

    you should notice that there's still more to the story, what happens to Luke? ...Will the new Republic rise and shine as predicted?

     

     ...what if the Emperor became a ghost like Obi-Wan & Yoda? ...and did Boba Fett die? How bout dat - maybe he survived :ph34r:

  5. Thanks for sharing those tidbits, @@NumberWan! Where did you get your info from? I use starwars7news.com and they recenetly released an article (spoilers) that kinda debunked at least some of those points...still not sure what's true and what's not but that's makes it fun! :D

    Very interesting indeed, @NumberWan seems to have almost too much information about the upcoming film, Hahah :D

    It sure sounds interesting that Carrie Fishers daughter would play the role of a younger Leia Organa, it just sounds logical.

    But then there's a lot of perhaps/maybe/would be logical speculations about the new saga that you can find on google.

  6. Game Of Thrones is so popular that I'm guessing there are a few fans among us who would be interested in a GOT duel map.
    For those who don't know what GOT is about, in short: it's a medieval fantasy drama with very unpredictable plot twists. It's not for children.

     

    Castel Black is one of many locations in the series and it is the headquarters of the Night's Watch. Im concentrating on the courtyard where they train.
    A larger map featuring the whole area of Castel Black with interior and the top of the wall is not yet planned because I don't want to be too ambitious.
    I work slow and there is a possibility that I might just give up at some point and release my work as a prefab, but atleast I'm going to give it a try!

    I will use screenshots from the series and google images to get a better idea of how the area is built, then roughly make all the elements there,
    buildings, stairways, the elevator etc.  and then... I will start to better shape it all and get it scaled right. Scaling is going to be hard because
    the images I mentioned are not 3D, ofcourse, so I will have to compare the actors to the setting, and even guess certain measures.

  7. I used to love playing Neo Dark Ages with bots (I apparently hadn't found the SP version but here it is). It was kind of laggy when I had it but the gameplay changes definitely made up for that. I especially loved the new weapon effects and models, and all the brilliant new playermodels, as well as reskins of the defaults to fit them more in with the theme of the mod.

    Neo Dark Ages is one of the best TC made so far. You can see that it was no easy task.

     

     ...what we do not have is a Game Of Thrones mod for JKA. That series is HOT right now and this game has everything for a medieval hack'n'slash.

    I've had GtkRadiant installed on my PC for a long time now, Im not exactly jedi but here's what I made just now:

    I will use screencaptures to build this courtyard. I'll try to scale it better ofcourse and if it looks ok I will continue or upload it as a prefab.

  8. Does anyone know if there's a similar minimap released separately somewhere? 

    If it hasn't been done already, this would be a nice addition to regular JKA aswel (ffa3, ffa5, ffa1 etc.)
    since this type of minimap is very common in just about every game that has MP as an option ( + MMO's)
    It would be nice to see others in a minimap while you play, or even open a bigger window to view the map.

    I have no clue how to make this on my own, but I would give it a shot if I can find a tutorial somewhere.
    If we had this for the 'normal maps'(ffa3 etc.) then it might spread into custom maps aswel, e.g. JedisHome JL II.
    So if you can make a map, then why not create a small image aswell so your map has a minmap option too,
    if only there was a folder where you could just drop this images... I personally have no idea where to start.

  9. Hey guys. I don't know about you, but I feel as if this isn't a community. I feel it is a group

    I feel that one large communtiy project-total conversion, playermodel pack- whatever, would be a great way to bring everyone tgoether through teamwork and cooperation/coordination.

    @JAWSFreelao We are also concidering a mascot for this community. http://jkhub.org/topic/4477-jkhub-mascot-model-suggestion/?do=findComment&comment=65833

  10. Horseton added to the list, and I will make a poll next saturday.  I hope the JKhub staff will contribute.

    You are all free to make a jkhubmascot_skin after the poll. Infact I hope to see one. It will make a great addition
    to whatever videos you guys release, and above all we have then created a whole new character to JediKnight.
