Been working on this level now for a few days and figured I'd post a few shots:









JED SHOT:

Wow. Tat looks very cool..

The law doesn't want you to steal. Because the government doesn't want any competition.

Woah, looks very cool, will this be CTF, FFA, or RPG? I dont care I just want to play

------------------
Semper Fi.

This would make a LOVELY Guns-only-CTF...

------------------

That's gorgeous, SotW material. It reminds me of the Paris level in Twisted Metal 2.

------------------

Too bad they JUST changed the SotM, indeed... Ah well. If you keep this thread alive for say, a week, iot might get changed

SWEET!

Now add some rain and fog effects

The texturing in this level alone makes it a winner. Awesome!

I love how you left everything very low-poly (or rather low-sector ) but made up with that with the highly detailed textures.

Making an awesome map AND quoting Fight Club in your signature... Are you God?

Textures definently make this map a winner. Looking good.

Schenectady Crispies taste so freakin good they taste twice! Once in your mouth, and once in your esophagus.
I hope I don't get caught! TM

Wow. That's really, really good. I like the second shot the best

------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

GASP! No Tour De Eiffel?!?! Eiffel Tower in laymans. That wuld indeed not only be a remarkable feat, but a nice additon to the level.

The outdoor shots remind me of Twisted Metal 2 with vastly better textures. Very, very nice.

As far as I can see, there are only four types of people necessary for a stable society: farmers, teachers, doctors, and construction workers.

Holy CRAP zan .... is this what you've been doing while not working on Z2?!

(Well, I shouldn't talk ... I haven't worked on it either )

Wait, I'm confused. That's not ZHoH!

Beautiful.

Now destroy it! I KNEW THIS IS WHAT HE WAS BUILDING IT UP TO! It all fits together. The awesome screenshots, the sig... my conspiracy theory senses are tingling.

Has the same atmosphere as those Day of Defeat levels where everything's been bombed out and the town is empty except for the players. And I mean that in a very good way.

Trees are pretty good for Jedi Knight, but I still think they need a bit of work. You might also want to add some more detail to the buildings here and there so they don't just look like skinned boxes. I know you're trying to keep it low poly, but just a few more polygons wouldn't hurt... I don't think. :S

Congrats on SOTD, Zan.

Exceptional! It's rare to find such a well-constructed city level in JK. It reminds me of several MoH Aliied Assault levels I've played. Was that your inspiration? You must have really pust some planning into this. Way to go!

Just curious, are most of the buildings going to be accessible, or is it mainly an outdoor and underground level?

Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

This map looks great, but its SotD was pre-emptive, as the previous SotD holder only got a day and a half at SotD, and we all know that Screen of the Day is more correctly stated Screen of the Week, or sometimes month. Not screen of the 2 days. The buildings need a whole lot more work, especially if you're going to texture them so well.

The spirit moved you, but to make a level :-(

Not trying to be picky, but I assume you want some suggestions, so I thought I'd mention something:

1)Some of the roofs have repetitive texturing, in fact most of them. Even one other texture variation should make a big difference. One more roof texture shouldn't be to hard too find.

2) The Greek Panthenon type building (I'm guessing it might be the town hall?) doesn't have a very good roof texture. It doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the buildings. But I'm sure it's only temporary, so I don't mean to nag about it. A domed building would be nice, but I'll leave that up to you. Great level, keep up the brilliant work!

[EDIT:] I think the tree looks fine. Don't worry about the landscape and foliage at the moment anyway, focus on the buildings, sewers, and streets. Saying that, it would be great if you had some hedgerows and private gardens on top of the buildings.

Man, that should be in JKTB, oh and I was wondering if it would be possible for you to spot me some of those kickbum textures? (teehee)

1. Yes, I'm aware the roofs all have the same texture. In game, there's really no access to the roofs, so the idea was to keep people off of them.

2. Yes, I agree the texture doesn't seem to fit. Makes it stick out like a swore thumb. I'll probably just edit the textures on the building to fit more along the brownish atmosphere of the rest of the buildings.

That would be a cool idea to put little gardens and shurbery on top of buildings. However, from certain angles on certian buildings you get HOM, which is the modivation to keep people off the roof tops. Maybe I'll work something out.

Anyway, on with actually describing the leve to you since this is my first reply. I'm in the process of creating some, WWII era vehicles. Set in Europe obviously. Some of the buildings will be enterable. The underground/underwater tunnel system will maze underneath of the streets allowing you to pop up at certain points surprising your enemy.

Someone asked about planning. Yes, I did plan the level out before I began developement. However, in my paper drawnings didn't quite look like it does now. The center of the level looks how it did on paper, but at that point everything just began to flow and idea's poped up here and there. I guess I was just really modivated and excitied about this level.

Wow, you should contact Hellcat and make a version for JK Team Battle. (if it ever comes out)
