JHS 2006
2005-12-08, 9:03 AM #1
First off, this isnt an editing post, so please don't move it. I would like to recreate the JHS level in the Source engine, but I want to do the nice thing and ask permission from Ped_Head... SO If anyone knows a way to contact him, besides his listed e-mail at Cloudstrife111@hotmail.com, I would appreciate that help.

Been a long time since I've been around here, not much has changed, hope the community is still as helpful, I'm sure there's still a few vets around here.

You should try not being such an elitist.

JHS was fun, and I'm pretty sure you can get a hold of him on the forums. I still see him all the time. Try PM'ing the dude.

I thought I did. Then again, maybe it was that influx of necroposts a while back.

Jon(`C)--if I had a problem, I'd look into that. Thanks though.

Actually, you were the ******* first in this thread. Ah well.

JHS was awesome. It'd be great if you could remake it for Source. Hell, even CS. We could get a massassi game with that.

Jesus, looks like the community isnt entirely as friendly as it used to be. Jon, you may not have liked the level, but it was a quality level, it didnt have to LOOK good to be good. You two stop spamming up my post, maybe if the guy comes on here ever he will see this... if i cant contact him im just going to continue my work. His e-mail isnt there anymore.

The graphics aren't the part of the level I take objection to.

Even ignoring my objections to the level, and assuming you physically could re-implement it in another engine, what makes you think it would translate well? Wouldn't it be better to create an original work? Perhaps use it as a source of inspiration (even though this is one of the things I object to), instead of trying to duplicate something that was created for an entirely different game with entirely different gameplay mechanisms and completely dissimilar physics?

Yeah, it was popular on the Zone, but putting it in HL2 is like getting Britney Spears to sing opera.
2005-12-08, 10:19 AM #12
I wouldn't be so sure...

Clutter it with desks, chairs, books, toilets, and junk like that, and it'd be a dandy HL2 DM level. Couple that with the various traps and cameras and you have yourself a decent level.

Yeeesh, think will ya?

I kinda agree with Jon. JHS worked in JK but probably won't work in HL2.

Well it's not going to be identical, there will be added things. However, Like someone said above, chairs, desks, other junk laying around to throw, as well as the traps, cameras, secret paths, air vents, and large areas for all kinds of weapons, makes for a good level in any game. I could even implement some coding to make the gym have functional basketball goals with a basketball in the gym and a scoreboard. The possibilities are limitless.

Oh boo hoo. Jon dislikes things that other people enjoy, like JHS and rap music, and he expresses his opinion openly (which is why Yoshi's been uppity toward me for the past few days, although he chalks it up to other things - as usual).

Sorry, I don't believe in complete conformity. Why don't you and your identical-looking blonde hair and blue-eyed friends run off to a corner and play with your matching armbands and goosestepping and let people who are capable of formulating an opinion express it? Thanks.

Edit: Here's a helpful hint for people who are in the accelerated literacy programme of their local assisted learning facility: "JHS is not a good level". You don't have to preface everything you say with "It is my opinion that JHS is not a good level", because that's implied.

So by liking this level, I am automatically a conformist?

My opinion is I like it. You hate it. Oh well. Nothing to do with conformity.

You know what's funny? I've never played JHS. Anyone know where I can download it (it doesn't seem to be in the files section)?

Also, quit with the stupid flamewar. Jon, Yoshi, I know you despise each other, but try not to bring it into *every* thread, mmkay?

But doesn't JHS rely on the Force powers and grapplehook alot? There would seem to be alot of gameplay issues. Like the cafeteria would be a dead end because you can't go up the vent. Going to the inside from the outside grounds can only be accessible with one door (bottleneck/camping problem.) You can't jump up through the hole in the elevator, thus forcing you to ride the elevator and being a sitting duck. It seems to take too long to reach one part of the area to another. I'm sure getting from the bottem of the level to the roof would take awhile.

Of course, it would be kicka$$ to blow people up with the RPG on the roof and the principal's office. Does Pedhead still visit the forums?

I remember playing JHS before there was ever a grapple hook. Things like the elevator and such would need modifications yes, but the cafeteria, I think that vent was made for coming down, not going up.

What the hell is wrong with some of you?



Hey AoEJedi I would say go ahead and make the level.

You can't copy the arcitecture directly obviously, and the only added resources that exist in JHS were the custom cogs, which came from Massassi, and the custom textures which me and another guy made, so go ahead and use them.

I know PedHead would not care either way. He'll probably come around here eventually, but waiting for him to show up before starting would be dumb.

Thanks warehouse, I dont know that I will use some, if any of the original textures, the basic ideas will be based on the archi... even some of the base HL2 textures arent the high quality I want. IF i have to, i will make my own, but making textures is more time consuming than i may have time for.

It probably wouldn't work well in CS:S but it would work GREAT in HL2DM with alot of school chairs, desks, etc etc.
2005-12-08, 1:34 PM #34
Yeah, I assume you're going for HLDM right? It would rock. Maybe consider making a more realistic high school (eg. no landing pad in front) with the same shape as JHS, and use City 17 stuff for the background and exterior.

post your progress!

I enjoyed JHS. If you can ignore the bland architecture and texturing, it's a fun level. Also, I don't see why you would have to ask permission to remake this level (unless you planned on calling it "Jedi High School"). This level is based off of a high school that just happens to be floating in the middle of nowhere. You can probably use the outline of the level to create your own level.

And I don't really understand why someone would want to say something along the lines of "this level is bad" when they know that it's just going to cause an argument. Use your head.
