This is an academy map that is meant to be similar to my first map exploration, and the two maps' layouts are similar in many ways. The basic idea is a Yavin-ish style academy map that is set in the mountains. It has basic duel rooms, a ffa area as well as some climbing challenges. Map\file for both jk3 and jk2.
 
ATTENTION: You may have trouble loading this map or you may not. If you do, try some of the following:
1) You may have to change com_hunkmegs to 128 to run this map (and restart your jk2 when you
reset it.) Alternatively you can type set com_hunkmegs 128. You can make these changes in you console or you can open the jk2mpconfig file to make the change more permanent in
LucasArtsStar Wars JK II Jedi OutcastGameDatabasejk2mpconfig
 
Credits: Stormcrow and Rhiom for making the council area.
Most of the textures in duelroom are from the default jk2 Yavin folder (or jka.) I needed to put them into a custom textures folder so that I could apply custom shaders so although there is a ton of textures in this map, most are default ones. The remainder of textures I made myself or got from the following sources.
I used JediMediator's efects file, gfx files, sound files, and textures for his giant bonfire looking thing that he used in his
inferno map since he released it for public use.
http://jediknight3.f...e/Inferno;99138
I used JediMediators's detail shader and two textures for one of my grass detail shaders. See this thread for sources.
http://www.map-craft...iewtopic&t=2745
I used a couple textures from the Limelite texture archive I found at the Massassi temple.
http://www.thelimeli...textures1.shtml
I used a couple of Elandain's textures that he has on jk2filesjk3files.
http://jediknight3.f..._Textures;30975
Boddo made me a tutorial for how to make the CG-ish looking brick textures in the main room called n-wall1, n-wall2 and n-wall3.
I also used Boddo's "table" texture and two of his wood textures called ddtree2 and ddtree3, which are downloadable at his www.cyberpunkcafe.com website. He also made the slablock series of five textures for this map.
Boddo also made the rustic_semitransparent that went on my pipes and its env texture called envmap3.
Boddo made the island room that you teleport to from the bar, its shader file called expl3terr, and its textures.
I used Mars Marshall's bantha model, which can be downloaded here:
http://jediknight3.f...le/Bantha;37848
Rhiom helped me convert the bantha model to an md3 file because vehicles don't work in jk2.
I used NAB622's cave prefabs in the map that can be obtained at the following URL:
http://jediknight3.f...e_Prefabs;88711
In this updated version, I got a max edgelines error so I converted his caves into a massive .ase model, and now the caves look
slightly glitchy but not too bad.
Loda and BK made the basic spacing the strafe pads distancing, although I modified it,
and they made the "crete" textures."
The texture called "atl_wood" is Szico's Atlantica (got permission and readme included.)
http://szicovii.com
Lastly, the five textures that I used for the terrain blending were SIMONOC's. They were called
ter_rock2, ter_rock3, ter_mud1,ter_moss1, and ter_dirt1.
http://www.simonoc.c.../terrain1_1.htm
I got the Sith symbols for the 3 flags in the main room from wikipedia and modified them.
The layoutstyle of one of my outside areas and its associated secret area under the waterfall was influenced by Kahn's sithcouncil map in jka.

Compile Information
bsp_q3map2/q3map2: (final) BSP -meta -notjunc, -vis, -light -fast -samples 2 -lomem
 
note it was compiled using 2.5.16 q3map2 compiler, which is not the default compiler of gtkradiant 1.4.
In case any other jk2 mappers try a dot product shader (terrain blending), they must update the compiler or use gtkradiant 1.5 for their compiling since it comes with an updated compiler. This is the tutorial that I used for terrain blending
http://www.simonoc.c.../terrain1_1.htm
 
I used DarthG's new_system.pk3 mostly for its subtle_hint shaders but I also used some of the pack's caulk_water shaders and a few others. I'm not sure where I downloaded, but this thread at least talks about it.

Bugs:
1) You may need to run com_hunkmegs 256 or 512 on this map as it's getting large.
2) If you play the map in jk2 you may need the developer version of JKMV rather than the official release so that
it does not hit max shaders issue and other max issues
3) in main room you can see a corridor through skybox. Not sure how to fix this. You can also see the boats randomly through
many skyboxes

This map is a small duel map in the desert. This map started out as a test map for a projected decal entity. I ended up building a small duel map since I liked the effect. I also put in a sky portal again like my quest map.

This map works for both jk3 and jk2. This is another of my mountain maps. It is a sequel to A-mountain and B-Mountain. One of the problems I noticed while watching people race a-mountain is they were fighting over 2-3 seconds once they learned it. This mountain should be harder and longer and hopefully solve that problem should people choose to race it.
 
My climbing mountains are loosely inspired by the work of Boris from quake defrag.

This is a Yavin style climbing mountain and sequel to A-mountain. It's slightly taller than A-mountain now. There is trigger at start and finish for timers that modders may use for racing if they like.

Acrobat_torture1 was made by me, acrobat. This map is essentially a short climbing challenge that can be used as a race as well made in the spirit of the quake 3 boris torture maps. Some textures were used from boris_torture2 from which he has let me convert to jka in the past along with some custom made textures from my prior maps. Map has a trigger mutliples at beginning and that can be used for timers if modders wish. Completed 8/13/15.

File Version: 1.0
Size: about 50 MB megs
Completion date: 03/30/2013
----------------------------------------------------------------
 
Description:
I made 14 race maps from scratch. I also converted 6 boris maps from quake defrag with permission from Boris.
These maps were made ideally for CPM\spinmod, but some of them may work OK for vq3 as well.
The maps are: acrobat-redhallways, acrobat-redhallways2, acrobat-redhallways3, acrobat-greenhallways, acrobat-greenhallways2.
acrobat-greenhallways3, Acrobat-Blackhallways, Acrobat-Blackhallways2, acrobat-metal, acrobat-bridges, acrobat-dash,
acrobat-dash2, boris_daytime, boris_nighttime, boris_torture1, boris_torture2, boris_torture3, boris_torture4.
 
Note there are trigger multiples are the start and end of each race course for modders to use.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------
 
Credits:
 
The vast majority of the textures are ones I made from scratch in my previous maps.
 
I converted the Boris maps from Quake III Defrag with permission from Boris. His maps can be found here:
http://q3a.ath.cx/maps/?map=&au=BorisXIV
Loda converted boris_daytime, and bk helped with spacing on that one.
 
I used a skybox for map acrobat-yellowrace2 called DarkLand that is avaialble for use at this website:
http://www.redsorceress.com/skybox.html
 
Loda and BK made the basic spacing the strafe pads distancing, although I modified it,
and they made the "crete" textures."
 
The texture called "atl_wood" is Szico's Atlantica (got permission)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Physics notes: Some of the maps have yslaramis. If modders are around they can remap as follows.
In addition, if modders want to ad vertical overbounces (easybounce in twimod) they can do as follows:
 
 
Remapping the Ysalamiri:
{
"classname" "trigger_always"
"targetShaderName" "powerups/ysalimarishell"
"targetShaderNewName" "clear"
}
 
EasyBounce:
In "bg_pmove.c" at the bottom of "static void PM_CrashLand( void ) {" add:
 
//[boy] - Bounce!
if ( easyBounce.integer == 1 || (easyBounce.integer == 2 && pm->ps->fd.forceJumpZStart > pm->ps->origin[2]) )
{
vec3_t velocity;
float speed;
 
VectorCopy(pm->ps->velocity, velocity);
velocity[2] = 0;
speed = VectorLength(velocity);
 
if ( speed < 1 )
{ //Nearly 0 speed...
pm->ps->velocity[2] = -vel;
}
}
//[/boy] - Bounce!
 
 
As for the trigger_multiples for timers, I tried to make sure trigger #1 was at start and trigger #2 was
at the end. There are a few exceptions in this map pack though which are as follows:
Acrobat-greenhallways (#2 and #1)
boris_torture (#10 and #11)
