    yeah the canal was stupid hard.... For mine I have the original model from DF2 as an obj. I scaled it till It was the same size from either kyles POV in DF2/JKA. When i first started this I tried to do it from image reference.(it was waaaay off) Then I tried importing the entire obj into NRC and rebuild the brush work that way. (also not a great idea but kinda worked) Now I do one of 3 things... using blender plugin to export brushwork I invert the normals, export into NRC and extrude flat side of the face, use the faces as a reference and use CSG merg tricks to get things right or for normal rooms i build like I normally do for any other map. The canal was stupid hard to build and that bridge was also not easy. I actually hade to build the bridge in blender with basic shapes and export as brushwork, not faces to get it right. took me like 4 tries to get it right. that model is a placed holder so when I build the sky box you can see the tower in the right spot. @NumberWan FYI.... when i do make this....ill release the source files.... feel free to use whatever ya want....or if want something now i can give it to ya. I also plan an making Max into an NPC.... gatta model him and all still.

    I'm happy to see this looks like I got some competition. I also been working on Barons hed.... Tho i'm making 2 versions... one mostly original everything... the other updated... Also a WIP. So far I really like what ya did. The question i got for ya.... is how did you build this part?...... the angles for the pillars in the market place? Mine is a bit different than yours as its close to 1 to 1 in how it was in OG game. But i'm struggling to get it built clean with brushwork. Was wondering how you tackled it. It looks built in the image but its not clean brushwork so I have to rebuild it completely. hit me up on discord can VC about it if ya want.
  3. TTT = Trouble in Terrorist Town I want to build this map for JAWA to run this event for others to enjoy. I figured asking community for ideas could be useful. I am not super knowledgeable about TTT, only played rough version of it on JKA. I think a map designed specifically for it would be fun. This wont be a clan map just a map others can enjoy. Also would like to make the map useful for other event ideas not just TTT. The idea: Most of this should be similar to what they did in Half-Life 2 mods, trying to make it work for JKA. The event is run by a host who picks who the terrorist are in secret. Win conditions: Innocents win if kill all terrorist or unlock escape room and enter it. Terrorist win if Kill all innocents. Concept idea: Innocents need to figure out who are terrorist and kill them, or open locks that let everyone escape. Lock buttons are placed around the map in different rooms, traps can be placed leading to the rooms or also in the rooms as well. "vents" are only used by terrorist so they can quickly get around the map. The vents will shoot the player to different parts of the map. The locks are on a three min or so timer where no one can hit that button after it’s been unlocked. Once timer runs out, a terrorist can in turn relock the escape route. This also acts as a check to see who a terrorist is, if caught relocking buttons. The idea is to incentivize entering dangerous rooms and player movement/interaction around the environment. Most rooms will have two or three ways to enter or exit, with a few dead ends. The map flows equivalent to three figure eights overlapping each other. Visual hierarchy, points of interest, and landmarks are key so players can easily navigate to their intended destination without feeling lost. Lastly some spots on the map will randomly become dangerous, for example a tie-fighter flying through a tunnel players need to jump across to get to the other side of lava/abyss. Maps designed for terrorist but balanced to feel fair. Map theme/ layout: Lobby starting room leading to three separate play areas. (May reduce to one or two due to entity limits) No traps / no escape room, small play area. (Not sure yet) Traps / no escape room, medium play area. (Not sure yet) Traps / escape room, large play area. (Abandoned Imperial underground facility.) Debating on using mainly JKA assets over custom assets to save on file size. Any thoughts about this concept would be greatly appreciated. Might post some concept drawings in future.... currently have artist block thinking of a good map layout.
  4. this actually gave me a cool idea for a ctf/tffa map lol
  5. I might need to upload this into a tutorial map or something..... BUT its interesting to see what you can work with in terms of slopes. I think what grabed my attention the most is the fact that a tauntaun can travel on a slope the player can not.... Might make for an interesting map design. The swoop is pretty limited in terms of slopes in boost speeds.
  6. I am trying to slowly compile over time useful information that may be helpful or unknown to mappers. All the information I am looking for is something JKA game mechanics related. As I continue to explore mechanics in the editor I'll add it to this post if you know anything, I would appreciate any help you have. Or if you know I am extremely wrong about something might be good to let me know. Other examples could be slope limits, entity limits, sniper range, vehicle sizes anything really. I searched the internet but was not able to find a good list of this sort of information about the game. Later on this info can be compiled for quick reference. Here are a few examples of what I mean, all of these I tested in game: I might need to upload this into a tutorial map or something..... BUT its interesting to see what you can work with in terms of slopes. I think what grabed my attention the most is the fact that a tauntaun can travel on a slope the player can not....

  7. Wish I could remember where I learned that. @mjt was it you? What i do remember was looking at vis and I noticed no vis cubes where caulk was....So i got the idea to just fill things with caulk and it really does speed things up.
  8. Been working on the Mario map still. Thanks to college classes im taking my work has slowed down on it but ATM the map is mostly down. I want to get some JApro features working for it and have to where you can race for times on the slide and a race for times on the outside part. The outside part has proven to be a challenge since it is so open and easy bypass a lot of places on the map I am not sure how to set it up where it will feel fun to race on. So I think I will make 2 bsp files, one for the race and one for FFA... FFA being open and free to roam around and the race more restrictive. Not sure how long this will take me to complete so a lot of testing from other users and myself would be needed. I might go ahead and upload it to here sometime this week so I can get more people to test it. Then update it with fixes as needed.

Feel free to use anything SephFF has made in this map for your own maps made for Jedi Academy. I only ask that you give proper credit. If you want to port the map for a different game, you will need to request permission. ***********IMPORTANT*********** ----------------------------------------------------------- Description: Inspired by Protal 2, coop mode I just wanted to make a map that 2 people could have fun trying to solve. I also wanted to make a challenge for solo players to enjoy and maybe inspire others to learn how to complete this type of challenge. Map is also a good refrence to see jump heights, player walk slop limits and many other things. Map Features: Coop: 125 fps normal JKA settings. Solo: 125 fps normal JKA settings also Japro supported with timers and check points. Saber range testing room Kyle Spawner TFFA/Duel spawns Portal easter egg Teleport lobby room to get where ya wanna go. Useful tech to know for this map: Water jump glitch: JKA for some odd reason has a cool trick not many people know about where if you jump into water using full jump (J1,J2,J3 <Force level), and you KEEP holding jump while falling into the water never letting it go. When you swim to the surface you will shoot out of the water the same height as the speak of your jump regardless from how high up you are. If you never let go of jump and fall in water again, you can repeat the same jump height again and again. The only thing stopping you is if your feet touch the ground. If your feet touch the glitch will no longer work. This makes getting around the map interesting and sometimes involves prior planning. Some jumps require knowing how to a RDFA Cancel D-Swing Boost. It’s a trick in JKA where you can double your jump height boosting off a slope surface less than 90 degrees. There are many variations to do this trick so ill explain the basic D-Swing one. RDFA Cancel D-Swing Boost: Run forward using W or D and hold jump/space If using W let go of it while in air press D+Attack If using D just keep hold it and press attack. After pressing attack, you will press and hold W+Attack (Jump/Space is still being held at the time.) You will need forward momentum going into a slope surface. The middle of the swing is where the boost should happen. The player character’s body should be touching the slope surface during the middle of the swing animation. After the boost let go of attack but continue holding W+Jump/Space. If you hold attack you will swing the saber again, slowing your forward momentum giving less height to the jump. The timing of the swing/forward momentum speed and angle of slope surface all adjust when the boost will or will not happen. It takes some practice to learn this trick but its not too difficult to master. This trick allows access to some areas in maps devs never intended. For other JKA mappers. This map is also good for testing how things interact with slopes. I also have perfect heights for j1 j2 j3 and other useful stuff for mapping in general. Source files are included so feel free to poke around. ----------------------------------------------------------- Programs Used: Netradiant-Custom-20220211 Photoshop 2022 ----------------------------------------------------------- Credits: SephFF Author of this map did all Bursh work, patches, custom textures, layout brushes/details, player spawns, TFFA spawns, transition cam and lots of testing.

  10. @mjt And I were gonna have a barrel NPC similar to your Moon base Labs Map. Where people could throw it or make it explode like a tie-fighter killing everyone near by lol. Unfortunately we ran out of time before the contest and could not get it working right in time. I really like the idea of making the ball an NPC! where you could use force push and play volleyball with it on the beach! Or slap it with a hockey stick that uses "saberdmgvelocityscale". I could see some fun events we could run on JAWA server with that. One flaw in it would be making it float in water lol. I have no idea how to pull that off. You really are making me want to update my Costa Del Sol map with all these amazing details. ( I got 2 maps to finish before I can start tho ;_; ) Some things I wanted to do but just didn't have the time was build interiors for all the building, true to Final Fantasy 7 reference images of Costa Del Sol. The hardest part is the maps size where so much is being rendered it is hard to optimize and really make it look amazing, not killing everyone's FPS. (we tried adding grass to it.. it killed most ppl's computers to include my own lol). I'm also one of those mappers where I loth invisible walls... Only clip things that absolutely need it. I love the idea that if its looks like you can reach it... you can! Though with the way jump 3 works and some of the movement glitches I can normally find like 50 ways to break a mappers intentions lol. it makes designing maps a million times harder. That water tho.... *Chefs Kiss*
