FFA/DUEL (may change)
GTKRadiant
Lo peeps,
I have just recently started a map based on Nar Shadaa. It is intended for low force, sabers only, ffa duels and Duel mode.
I may expand on what i have done and turn it into a ctf map - i seem to have enough frame-rate to play with.
anyway, there are 3 screenies here:
http://www.massassi.net/ec/view.php3?user_id=6646&type=i&DateToView=10/27/2002)
and 2 older ones here:
http://www.massassi.net/ec/view.php3?user_id=6646&type=i&DateToView=10/25/2002)
Hope you like :)
make sure to up the gamma when u take screenshots, as they usually come out too dark :D
thanks acdcfanbill :)
was just thinking the same thing myself - took me a few days to get there but...
Or just lighten the screenshots afterwards with a photo editing program. The screenshots look good, but will the stage just be platforms and walkways, or will there be other areas to run around?
well i rooted out my painter 5 (bout time i reinstalled it!) and tweaked all the screenshots' brightness.
they are now here :
http://www.massassi.net/ec/view.php3?user_id=6646&type=i&DateToView=10/27/2002)
the top 4 are the beta-test map and btm 4 my new map.
Anakin_S: i intend to have 3 or 4 arenas inside the buildings depending on what vis will let me do - shouldnt be too much trouble - make each arena a bit different. there are some fairly large platforms too.
(I'd have to be a bit dull (in all senses of the word) to make a map intended for duels out of walkways only :) )
it looks great so far... are any of those areas going to be a cantina or the like? :D

Just checking. You just never know what people will do. ;)
What a weekend!! Computer virus on friday; had to reformat but managed to save my map work :D
Saturday night the toilet blocked and started leaking - right above my computer!! :eek: finally got fixed this afternoon; 2 days without relief!! :c3po:
and then the guttering along the front of the house got blown off!!! :deathii:
Anyway more importantly i managed to resume work on map sunday afternoon - took my mind off the fact we had no toilet.
i have posted some more pics here:
http://www.massassi.net/ec/view.php3?user_id=6646&type=i&DateToView=10/29/2002)
i have started to tunnel into the buildings (nice and neatly of course :)) I plan to add 3-4 arenas inside the buildings.
Thinking of doing :
1. a canteen type place (T3rr0r :))
2. a genu-wine recreation of a genu-wine Jedi Temple
(a museum type place - might seem a bit out of place though
3. an industrial type thingy
(ok i'm starting to get a bit vague-ish here...:))
Any suggestions would be welcome...
JEDI_Anakin_S: tell me 'bout it lol
Thanks for the attention (it's the only reason i do this :p )
well i have decided that there is going to be 2 museum type places recreating a Sith Temple and a Jedi Temple which both meet in middle. They aren't going to be THAT big; but big enough for good duels. To get the idea that they are museum like places there are going to be neon signs n stuff and hopefully these will make it _seem_ right. (of course it could just seem daft lol)
Also there will be the Canteen and the Industrial bit. I'd like a few pot-plants too somewhere - a little rooftop park maybe?
Anyway here is a sign i have been working on (it's kind of a rough sketch i spose):
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8051.jpg)
It's intended for the Sith Temple Museum - the "words" actually say "Temple of the Sith" (according to this (
http://www.theforce.net/swtc/Pix/books/weg/wegabc.gif) alphabet anyway. Click here to read (
http://www.theforce.net/swtc/preq/text.html#basic) about it.
this week i have mostly been fiddling with textures. BUT i have made a bit more progress on what is going to be the industrial site. The floorplan is pretty much laid out now and there is a cargo bay with a view. Most of the work has been spent on the outside bit (which won't be accessible to the player). There is still work to do but here is a screeny anyway... :)
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8132.jpg)
(does anyone know how to do a force-field type thing in MP? I'm going to research it but it would be handy if anyone here knows :))
LOL... massassi... Where the commies live-on...
nice map.
enough w/ the screenies! release a beta version soon! :D
Beautiful!
Beautiful I say!
Wonderful!
Wonderful I say!
Beautiful and Wonderful I say!
No beta, beta's are over-rated, just get the work done.
Maybe have a closed beta with a few people(I'm not asking to be one, but you can pick me if you like :D).
And always keep mapping.
BTW, sorry about your toilet. ;)
Wow, coming along great dude!
Indeed, you ARE a powerful mapper, as JK2.net has foreseen....
Looking forward to seeing the full version on this one.
Yeah. That's just awesome.
This is MP though, right? If so, the maps look a little big...
That's just me.
Oh and Grets, I thought you retired from the mapping scene:confused:
Oh boy.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the purple sign isn't his. It's done by Starunnrt in his or her map, Coruscant Promenade. Unless you have permission from the author, I'd suggest you get another texture. It's plaugerism to use it.
Then again, I probably missed a key point...

Well on the actual page that the screenies with SR's signs on are on it credits Starunner everywhere...
e.g.
http://www.massassi.net/ec/post.php3?function=image_edit&date_to_edit=10/30/2002)
and on some of the forums i have reiterated this (adding extra adoration of these beautiful textures) . Got a bit tired of doing it tho...
When final release is ... er... released the readme will credit SR fully and properly: unless of course i have replaced these textures with my own creations/monstrosities :p
Starunner says it's ok to use his/her textures as long as you give him/her credit. I have and er... i have/do :)
No problem. Of course I missed a point ;)
The map looks excelent
that's cool m8...nice to know peeps keep their eyes open for stuff like that :)
just thought i'd take the opportunity to explain the texture situation properly...
glad u like how the map is looking so far...
:)

Heh, someone actually noticed me!
Well, not yet, I'm still mapping.
I just don't get around to posting WIP threads anymore, due to the excessive amount of WIP's on my hd, and the extremely long time it takes me to make stuff.
I'll probably get some WIP thread's going soon though, as I'm trying to get my rear in gear and turn out some great maps!
By the way, how's it going with you Wes?
But, back to the map...
how do peeps, :D
been a little busy with life lately but have had time to do SOME mapping. Here are some more pics...
view inside entrance area. The area in far background behind the window is the cargo bay area (from last set of screenies):
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8214.jpg)
same window from the other side. a controlly roomy thingy :):
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8213.jpg)
outside view of entrance to cargo bay/industrial-ish area (to get your bearings with):
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8210.jpg)
same doorway viewed from inside:

view from down the hole. on the left is the doorway out; in front is that window again; and on the right (and out of sight) is the doorway through to the cargo bay:
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8215.jpg)
Not quite as interesting as the previous lot; but i should be starting on canteen soon :)
Looks like a very promising map, any thoughts to a ctf map perhaps?
Did you get the new signs working yet?
thanks AB_Legion, i have thought about ctf...Current map layout not conducive to ctf - maybe release a modified version after i have finished.
Loki - no m8 - signs aren't quite ready yet..working hard on canteen (and college work too ). Soon, my friend,...soon :)

You misspelled "of" in the sign. Currently it reads "oof." :D :p
/me checks Dictioonary. Looooks aroound nervoously! Oooops; Yoou are quite coorrect!! :D
thankyoou padawan. might never have nooticed!
/Right...yoou can stoop that Geigeroon. It's getting silly!!
hello again :)
I have started work on Canteen. Have a lot of college work so map_work_time has been a bit patchy. Anyway this is how things look so far (nothing is DEFINITE):

http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8402.jpg)
the dancefloor lights are style 13 - they flash multicolouredly :). Just typical i caught them as they turned red!
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8401.jpg)
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8400.jpg)
i have made a change to those white lights (made them warmer to fit in better)
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8424.jpg)
nearly done on the canteen now :)
OMG. You. Are. Teh 1337ness.
So ... how much longer? This map won't be released, it'll be unleashed ... or escape ... or something ...
Yeah!
Wow, that looks quite good!
Just wondering Gignatz, how long have you been mapping?
You’re very talented. :D
thanks Wudan, glad u like. I don't think i'm THAT good though...:)
padawan_7 - been mapping in radiant about a 16 months: have done 2 smallish maps (1 q3 and 1 JKO - both in beta) and have another q3 wip. Learnt mapping in worldcraft doing a TFC map (quite big it was) took about a year but learned a LOT.
Altogether just over a couple of years now...
i have nearly finished the canteen now. Prolly gonna start the mini-temples pretty soon.
Well here's where i am up to for those who still give a monkey's :)

Looks great as always Gignatz!
I really can't wait to see what you do with the mini-temples. :)

well that's 2 of us! :D
here is a rough sketch of what i have done (from gtkradiant) with proposed additions pencilled-in:
http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/8536.jpg)
that maps gonna own 4sure, hey if u need a beta tester for any maps just email me thumper_01@hotmail.com
Looks good, just one suggestion though.
I really like the idea of there being an arena in between the two temples, but I think it might be best to separate the two temples (one on one side of the map and the other on the other side of the map). But then, without a lot of changing (or adding) to the map, it would be hard to get the two temples to meet in the middle with that arena area. So my suggestion might not be that workable.
But, either way, I'm sure you'll make it work out. :D
Oh and one more thing, I think that proposed garden/park area is also a good idea. Is it going to be enclosed? If not, it might look a little out of place. :p
wow, i really like those shots. :D although the ideas of temples on nar shaddaa seems a little silly. :sweat: maybe you could make a repair bay or mechanic shop as well or instead of something? :D
The idea for the temples is that they are sort of museum set-pieces. Along the lines of the guy who owns the compound is an industry type with an obsession for all things jedi...
then i got to thinking he maybe sponsors or otherwise encourages jedi of many flavours (dark light grey brown) to hang around and fight; maybe he even offers short courses and "awareness" weekends :p
Anyway I am going to get the rationale for the place out of my head (where it has been for a while now) and on to paper at some point which will hopefully make the place seem more like a place in the starwars galaxy than a random collection of arenas-on-a-stick :explode:

Okay, that makes sense now. I think it will work. :)
