Good job with those letters. Get back on MSN. :P
*warning blatant use of color burn detected!* :P
Nice drawing! I couldn't do that.
I must thank you....these letters have been helpful to me on my Egypt project for school.... :)
I didn't copy them, but they reminded me of what some of the heiroglyphics look like, so now I can do semi real heiroglyphics.
Myst, Myst, and more Myst. :D
This map has so much background story...I love the idea.
Are those letters in .fnt form? So you can just type out messages and change the font, or do you have to cut-and-paste every one?
....I think they would look better if, in the "words," you connected the horizontal lines. Cool stuff!

Yeah, good idea! That would work nicely. Sort of like Roman Numerals. Speaking of numerals, have you designed numbers yet?
Nice fine motor skills :). Very cool. You must be dedicated to this to create an entire alphabet just for your map.
A map with it's own alphabet... that's too cool. :) The font kind of has the modern/ancient look to it that will carry the theme of the map really well. Great idea.
Thanks guys ;)

Thats a really great suggestion wedge. I tried it out and it looks a ton better, thanks;)

Not yet, but if I need them I might go ahead and do it.:)
I've put together a small video to give you an idea of how the map looks ingame so far. Special thanks to The Truthful Liar for hosting the file.;)

The file is 6.75mb and runs on the Divx 5.03 codec.
More screens very soon now.;)
Let me step out of my bathtub of drool to make a reply.
just wow, I am so very impressed with this map. the Lighting flashes made a nice effect. Keep up the Awesome work!
Excellent; just, excellent. I saw the video and it is very nice looking during play, but there seems to be a bit of a lag (this is probably just because of the movie itself).
Nice job.
Well, well, well done! :-O
:eek:
droooooool...droooooool...drooooooooool...droooooo ol...
I wonder what the rest of the layout is going to look like. We've seen a dock and a courtyard, is there much interior stuff or more outdoor areas?
To my knowledge, more outdoor areas as well as some temple thing. That has yet to be revealed by Eagle. :]
There will probebly be a couple more interior areas as well as a temple and possibly some more outside.:)
Sorry for the lack of updates, The area that i'm working on at the moment is too much in the early stages to show screens of.
So for the time being i'll show you guys a not very good picture of some concept art for the area i'm currently working on.;)

Did somebody say new screenshots? :)

Please don't judge it too harshly as this room in particular is only about 60% complete. ;)
Both the video and those new pics are nice....and great, and wonderful, and beautiful.
Wow, that's excellent! I like the light coming for the spheres. Nice shader.
are those statues made out of brushes?! :eek: any way the whole layout, shaders, statues lighting its all amazing! great work!
Wow. I love it. I really have to hang out in the showcase forum more often.
I wish I could give some good constructive criticism, but I can't really find anything I don't like. Truley original and creative.
-clu
this map really is a great work of art man. :rock:
Thanks guys, it really means alot to me that you all like it so much.;)
I'll have some more screenshots soon when that area is finished.:)
The screen shots looked great. I cant wait to see this map released. Keep up the great work!
Fantastico! Myst did come to my mind, though.
Holy Map Revival Batman!
Hello all, i've been busy for a while so i've been unable to work on the map, but i'm back on it now and work is progressing. :)
Here is a screen of an unfinished passageway.

And here is a screen from another part of the map. :)

Impressive as usual, Eagle. :)
You certainly have a creative eye... drawing on anything for inspiration, or does it all come from that noggin' of yours? :D
:eek:
That is just...plain...gorgeous.
Oh, this map's a masterpiece
That is absolutly, the most amazing map I have ever seen made for JK2. I want your mapping skills! This map is amazing. It has the Zelda feel too it but also some of that Nubian feel from Star Wars. One of those last shots the tunnel one does remind me of a Hobbit Hole however!:p This map is just huge and beautiful.
It brings tears to my eyes!
YOU OWN EAGLE!
You better continue to map for JK3, this map is gonna be great for it due to the more complex maps accepted.

Do you even know what Nubian means? :rolleyes:
Explain some of its Nubian qualities, if so.

Um alright calm down there Eldritch as I said it has a Nubian feel FROM STAR WARS. You know the planet of Naboo? I was merely saying some of the architecture reminded me of it. No need to get so uptight.:rolleyes:

Nubian (
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=nubian) has nothing to do with Naboo.
I'm not uptight, but to someone that really knows what Nubian means what you said sounds quite silly.
Yes that is why I stressed twice already the FROM STAR WARS point. Considering it is a Star Wars board and I refered this Nubian to Naboo from Star Wars I thought just maybe, though there was a slim chance I might not get flammed for it.:rolleyes:
So when you watched Star Wars and Watto said "Ah yes Nubian un", you thought the ship had native Nubia qualities.

Sorry about the flame.

Whatever. Sorry for the thread hijack, Eagle.
My work has been called Newbie-an.
Eagle, this looks stunning. I was wondering about this map only a few days ago. Theres definately some Zelda to it, which makes it all the more beloved to me. I can tell this map is going to be epic, any idea what kind of percentage it is done?
Thanks for all of your kind comments guys, it really means alot to me. :)

I think at this point about 65% complete.
Also the map pack is scheduled for release on September the 20th so it will be finished by that date. ;)
That level looks really awesome!
Sadly, due to my cg studies and the pressures of getting a short film off of the ground, ffa project minoan is sadly no longer possible. :(
But I figured it would be a shame to let all that hard work go to waste, so I decided to release the most complete parts of the map as a duel version.
You can grab it at pcgamemods if you're interested. :)
