Again, my modelling career went overlooked. Wow, it's already bee a year and a few months since I last touched JED

Minor Update: My progress has been set back a bit. For some reason, the infernal thing just decided to cut out all the light in the level (regardless of the range or intensity I set them) and HOM like crazy, even though I'd just installed Hellraiser's second JK paatch, which is meant to eliminate the visible adjoin limit. *sigh* -_-

I've had to go back to an earlier copy of my level and tone some of the detail down. I should have some new screenshots (fully textured) up by sometime tomorrow. I'm sorry, I haven't even taken into account any new info or pics anyone has uploaded. I'll see if I can get round to that tomorrow (school is starting to get up to speed again, and thus is occupying a good portion of my time). Thanks for all your support thus far, and Good Night!

*collapses in a heap on his bedroom floor*

I would just like to add a vote for jEDIkIRBY's inclusion into the hall of fame.

Not everything about editing involves actually releasing levels and working on cogs, sometimes you just need someone to hang around the forums and tell all the new editors that their idea of making a "Fast and the Furious crossed with LOTR" mod is useless and they should just give up now.

If only there had been someone back in 2000 to tell me that my efforts to create Team-Fortress in JK with obscenely massive levels was doomed to failure, I might have gone back to Shadow Warrior editing and lead a happier, more fulfilling life.

I'm not on the list
Half a decade of devoted work and a whoopin' 6 level long epic should at least deserve me a spot there.

I don't have a FTP at the moment (I recently changed ISP so I lost my old ftp), therefore I no longer have images at hand, but the above links inlcude all the obligatory 2 images required for posting levels at massassi.

Hey dormouse...I don't remember cutting anything of yours out of the ATTC...it got released prematurely so I probably just didn't have the time to implement it... Your thief style system was excellent...I can't even remember if I put that in the ATTC trilogy level or not..I seem to remember it only worked for MotS or something?

I think the best work I did was the Arrow Thieves: Chapter 1 sp level (http://www.massassi.net/levels/files/1906.shtml) and my MP Out to Sea level (http://www.massassi.net/levels/files/1935.shtml)


ahh the memories...

Oh btw...

What do people here think about using JK levels (or the screenshots) for a portfolio when applying to art school? I know it's iffy since LEC supposedly owns everything you make but would anyone care? I would probably just use screenshots of course, including screens of the wireframe.

Long long gone...

Just to let everyone know I'm not dead. School is keeping me really busy at the moment, but I'll continue with this when I get a chance. Thanks again for all your support everyone, I like the names and suggestions being offered. I'll respond to more and update the list at a later date.

For the moment, here's a small update of the main hub, almost fully textured (don't ask me if they're final, though).

and another from a different angle

I'm going to have to dig up my archives

Not by me! I love your work. By the way, don't you go to RIT?

Whoa... What'd I do to get on there? I've released some stuff, yeah, but I never thought I was really Hall of Fame material... Now, if it were an 'evil administrator' or 'feared by all' Hall of Fame.......

Yeah, some of the best stuff. A lot of people look up to you.

LOL! I never expected my name to be included with some of these other well-known names! I'm flattered.

As for the picture, I gotta hook up the digital camera or something. I'll get back to ya with it.

Woohoo! I'm on the list! Though I don't know why... with my total of three released levels, two of which were complete crap... Oh, I see now. Thanks BV. Anyways,

Hehe

I know that having the "Best of the Best" do the work on this project would produce something great to look at, but if all of the people on that list made their own little portion as in the original plan, then it would produce something sentimental for each person who made it. So really, it's more of something like carving your name into a tree to keep a memory of when and why you did it whenever you go back to it. If only the best of the best do it, sure it will look great and people will like it, but it won't have the same depth in meaning as it would if the people on the list had made it together. I'm not saying that I'm jealous because I'm not one of the best of the best (infact I know I'm not), but it would be more meaningful if daft_vader's original plan was used. This is just my opinion though, so whatever will be will be.

...added catwalks and created the "force fields" for some of the pods that will beam you to the various galleries...

hey stupid!!!!!!!, you didnt put your self on there!!!!!!!
you may not have released all of your great work(sommy, aqua, etc) but you did do pr::lium, and this, so if youdont put yourself on there ill beat the british out of you!!!!!!!



:p

Flippin' contact beefcaike. I swear if he isn't in this I will go nuts.

He reregistered on the forums a while ago as PornoPornstarter or some ship.

1) Those walls look paper thin. I could be wrong, but at least make them thick enough to notice.

2) For the love of god, I know everyone misses Mada but those textures aren't good. Please use some good ones.

aside from Zul's point #1, that's looking awesome! I'm really surprised! Also, I think the textures are just fine.. The catwalks look fantastic.

There are better out there... the catwalk texture is nice, but it still bothers me... however, good job for now.

Though you should probably start a thread in the showcase forum... for those pics... or not.

I think I should be on the list, Emon knows my work.

OMG??!?!!?

I think that's what he was referring to, G-Man.
