Zefilus, is it gonna be the whole castle including the top of the walls (not *the wall*) and the gates etc?

It will be a duel map, featuring only the courtyard. Whether you get to run on the rooftops or not, depends on how well I can blend the skybox with the map.

This is very important to me. Even old PS2 games make you belive you are on snowy mountains because the map+skybox blend together almost perfectly.

After this, I will probably make a new duel map, located on top of *the wall*

@AshuraDX thank you for helping out.  That model looks awesome, perfect.  I've already started doing map textures on my own though.

If you are bored and really want to help me out, would you like to do a similar reskin for Medieval Map Objects pack made by Inyri?

Im using his arrow shootingtarget and target dummy and the cart. http://jkhub.org/files/file/50-medieval-map-objects/

Great model @Boothand, that would look awesome in this map.

That would be great @AshuraDX,  Castel Black, as you know, is a cold place.

@

every SW generation presented a new lightsaber technique or other novice. E.g. Dark Forces II showed various colors, TPM introduced the double bladed saber (though it was known earlier), AotC presented Dooku's saber (and 2 sabers at once - Anakin), and RotS - a villain with 4 sabers at once. TFU showed an alternative way of holding this weapon, while Rebels also introduced a new lightsaber of the Inquisitor.

 

I bet if there will be something new to lightsaber duels, its going to be the use of force powers.

We've only seen Vader throwing stuff at Luke, Dooku trying to crush Obi and Ani, Yoda vs Palpatine tearing down the senate.

I think it would make the audience ROAR if they saw something like TFU on the big screen. I know I would scream like a girl.

It's a new trend, as it seems - in most projects they use the old sketches and concepts for various Star Wars material.

Agreed.

So the new  Stormtrooper in episode 7 could resemble, this image I found on google,

Ralph McQuarrie’s original Stormtrooper concept art for Star Wars: New Hope ( 1st film )

This is just one of many concept art images, but this could be the legit new trooper outfit.

I'm just concerned about tha sword in his hand, was it part of the plan originally to have

some sort of plasma-sword wielding Stormtroopers as part of the imperial army? Anyone?

..and could we see more characters, robots, villains (etc.) designed by this, Ralph McQuarrie dude?

I dont know any, my best friend Google didn't much help me out, perhaps a new protocol droid?

Watching now. @Boothand nice work, maybe the stone could be more thicker? I don't know.

Do it as u like, this is fantastic.  Just dont be looking at those horse images....  it's disturbing...

EDIT

I though about using the Medieval Map Objects pack made by @Inyri.  To add more detail in the map, would you be ok with it Inyri?

I would reskin them to match the rest of the map, and if anyone is willing:  I need a grinding stone or atleast that would look nice in this map.
Im in no rush with this map, could try to make it on my own but im such a noob with 3dmax. 

I am still working on this project @Asgarath83.  



 

that model is so beautiful I will cry myself to sleep tonight, it's a replacement , right?

Wat next?  a nice Swoooooop  or    millenium falcon? Xwing?    

I just wish we knew how the rest of the trooper armor looks like,
 

yeah too late now @DT85, @NumberWan stole your thunder.

• you can have high quality videos
• almost no FPS drops ingame
• free positioning and scaling of the record window:
  so you can have you game in windowed mode and only record that area on your screen
  so you can for example browse the internet at the same time as you play and it wont be recorded.

I use Windows 7

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.

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.

You can also make a good reskin of this reborn_new? model.  I found this in Jk3files, but the page seems to be lost. (file deleted?)
Shame.  I would definetly replace the original to this in SinglePlayer, looks badass. Almost TFU like ?

Thought so too, this will be my next project after GOT pack. I love my coffee, I always get the best ideas in the morning.
 

MAKE  ONE   LIKE   THIS  OK  ? YODA SIZE

Well I just never saw this happen ingame so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows,  could this be possible??
 

These textures are just helping me better imagine the final product, so don't be spooked by them 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

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

Brush paradise. I have never seen a Bespin map this large, so detailed, so full, so awesome as this project here.

(like watching that video where you concentrate on a dot then suddenly a screaming girl appears)

Please don't do this again

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

@DT85  Any progress with the Qui-Gon model?
