i am really curious. i have seen so many amazing maps i myself have tired to get into it. its eh. i know the basics i even made a very basic map with a few puzzles it made very little sense and had no enimes or anything like that but i think of it as an experment to get used to it. and i think i did okay. but some of the maps i have seen are amazing and i know this sounds strange but for me idk i would love to see the thought process of making a map and a video would be the greatest way it would be like a lets play but instead anyone and everyone can follow along and get experience in making a map i do not see many of those because like i said i see people starting to show the basics but i feel like its more complicated then just knowing the basics. like i said i am really cruous if anyone has tired or has thought about or would even consider trying something like that. i think it would be neat to see.

where do so many of you get your ideas from, where do u get your inspearation from. for me i feel like everytime i try to make a level my mind runs blank and i cant not think of what i want to do or what i want to next. and its just frustutating to feel this way. and i am just so curious where so many of you get your ideas from.

thanks but how do put the file into zip archive and does it automatically change the bsp into a pk3 it says i cant upload the bsp file on this site though

thanks i have another question though how do you convert a map into something you can upload.

i have a map i am working on and i would like to upload what i have so far. just i guess to get feedback to hear what people have to say. can anyone please help me upload it because i do not know how to upload my map right now

thanks all for the advice i would like to think my map is not experencing any of those issues yet and hopefully wont. but agian thanks for telling me about stuff to look out for.

yeah i am not worried worried about being mocked for my map. who knows mabye my map is pretty good for a beginer and i am still working on it. i am seriously thinking about putting on the site and allowing people to download it i would love to hear some feedback from people.

wow what an interesting story btw i am making a map right now myself. i am not sure if its good or bad. i am proud of it but then only because i know i am a beginer and anything thats playable and does not hurt the eyes is good to me lol when its coming from me. but idk if i was to show my map to people right now i have no idea what anyone would think. i only know what i think. and i think its a good start for a beginer but thats just me for all i know it could be a horrorible map for a beginer. honestly one big issue i am having is models. plus my cordiors for the most part are super mega plain :/

this honestly speak to me i myself am the same way i am trying to find my true crowd but its so hard. and i feel like now that i have a basic grasp of maping i can create my own worlds to escape too. i can create whole words in my imange places i can only dream of going. create stories that are amazing. etc. i have so many ideas in my head but i still lack so much knowlenge on how to do them. i mean i understand exactly where ur coming from. and i relate to so much ur saying.

well there are some people who still use it. and they seem really passionate about it. but i am glad to see i am not the only one who felt like it was a really bad level editor and hard to use.

can u explain what u mean by reference images lol.

i wont lie my exprence with moding is very basic right now. so i have no idea how i could do that. at least right now

oh i already found df2 tutruals before i found jko moding. but yeah i did not like using the editor for df2 too much

i am just curious but can you add a hyperspace effect ourside of a window i am really curious if you can do that. and if so would anyone be willing to help me do it.

i take it u have experence with that happening. what happens. exactly

thats really cool. like i personally lack insperation right now to anything creative. like sadly i am good at copying stuff. and i would like to try to create the entire jedi knight dark froces 2 game but yeah if you saw the level i am working on right now u might understand why thats hard for me at least right now.

okay i am curious i heard that if you put too many textures you can run into an issue where the map will not complie anymore. i honestly have several ideas but they are big ideas. and i am just wondering if anyone has actually made a map that was the limit of how much you put into it.

wow all these stories are really interesting. beleive it or not i techenically started modding with doom. this was many years ago with my father we actually made a playable level together but then for whatever reason stopped. i moved on to jedi knight dark forces 2. and yeah without the tuturoals that are avabale now on how to mod a game i was competely lost. and yeah i gave up since i had no idea what to do and neather did my father. but then i found tuturuls on how to edit jedi knight dark froces 2 and that was awesome and then i looked for how to make maps for jedi acdemy and acutally i found mugs tutural which is how i ended up here.

thank you all there is also an issue of insperation too. though like i said the map i am making is really more or less an experement to see what i can do

i am curious but how long have you been modding the game for. did you start off with this game or did you start off with other games if so which games. and like i said how long have you been at it for and how did you get into it. i am very curious.

i really do. i myself am creating a level right now. its super mega basic but it works. and its also a work in progress i would like to think i have some interesting things on my map but more then likely nothing compared to any of you. i have to say making a map is really fun though once you get the hang of it. and hopefully with practice and exprence i can get better. anyways just wanted to introduce myself and tell you all you are super mega amazing and i hopefully look forward to meeting some of you

so i am trying to use the gtk raident to create levels for jedi acdemey. and well i am using 1.3 because thats being used in a turtuoral i am using to figure it out. but the porblem is when i try to get some textures it tells me the shader is missing on every texture. and i am not sure why its doing that. can anyone please tell me what to do. because for all i know i installed everything wrong or did not end up downloading something or something. so if someone could tell me what to do mabye from strach that would be great. or if anyone just knows what the porblem is in general.
