Fun fun.

I used the TARDIS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TARDIS ) prefab included in Siegebomb1b.PK3, I thought I could make something funky (and at the moment only functional) with a few teleporters and mirrors/portals.

At the moment I'm tied up with school, exams and other things so I'm not releasing anything major any time soon But if anyone wants to implement a TARDIS into his/her map (or a similar contraption) I'll gladly help (and if that happens I will ask the author of the prefab to use his prefab in a to-be-released map, so far the only thing released is this video).

Thanks for the advice.

Oh well, I decided to submit it as it is.

Is it in the download-section? B)

Oopsy...

Who wants to check it out for any bugs?

Also, I'd really appreciate it if anyone could add a shiny metal shader to it or at least tell me what I did wrong, I'm not that good with shaders.

If things go well I might add it to this site and submit it to JK3Files later this day.

Very nice comics, I like the character style you use. And the backgrounds are great!

Huh, the base sith_sword has the same effects, I don't know why I expected it to have no flying sparks at all. o_o Oh well, thanks anyway guys.

I must be doing something wrong with the shader, I can't seem to get it to work...

I have played with mapping shaders before and isn't "q3map_nolightmap" exclusive to mapping?

And now we've got a really long hilt and a laser-less, wall-bouncing sword that goes swoosh, swoosh, swoosh when you swing it around!

There are 3 variants so far:

1) Normal hilt (shorter)

2) Long hilt (longer)

3) Sword (same as 2 but no saber blade, bounces off walls and makes swoosh sounds).

By the way, when I hit NPC's with the sword (lower-right corner) glowy sparks fly out of them like they do with normal sabers, does anyone know how to fix that?

Also, can anyone help me out with the shiny shader? I keep failing for some reason...

Finally got it in-game! I feel like I fulfilled some kind of prophecy...

This reminded me of when I played JK2 in 2003 at a PC arcade, I thought of the logo as "Oooh, this must be the saber you must get in order to defeat the boss."

Also, I'll extend the logo blades to reach the saber blade's top and make two versions: one with the plasma beam (like in the animated videos) and one without it (like a real sword), how does that sound?

Also, do you think I should keep it silver only or make coloured versions too like the ones you see in the main menu of JK2 MP?

I don't have much experience in modelling but I thought I'd give it a try for fun:

Do you think 3-team or 4-team gametypes are worth adding?

Can't wait to play this when it's done!

Where's BGJ? >.>

I will get to it too.

Not bad at all sir! They're all looking good. There were a fair few awesome levels from Dark Forces 2 that really ought to have made it into JK3. Though I never made it very far into Mysteries of the Sith! *Adds to to-do list when net/Steam returns*.

Thanks! DF2 has 5 "Jedi Training" maps, those should be easier to remake for JKA than MotS which has 16 maps in total... I'll have to make a list which maps are more interesting and focus on those for when I'll have more time for mapping.

Here are a few in progress maps from Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight and its expansion pack Mysteries of the Sith.

Quite a few maps at once, I know, but for some reason building in Radiant is kind of fun sometimes. I've been busy with lots of things lately and I haven't had the time for these in the recent months.

DF2:

Blades of Death

Canyon Oasis

MotS:

Ruins of the Sith

Imperial Training Facility (screenshots only since this map hasn't gone beyond 2 rooms and a split hallway):
