Im making a mp capture the flag level for ja with a hidden hanger bay for each side and lots of vehicles and NPCs. it is a huge playing feild, so to get to the other teams base you can hop on a swoop or an x-wing and fly over to their base, strafe them and hop out and run inside their base and get past the gaurd rancor to get their flag. That is if the guys on the roof dont shoot you down with the emplaced guns up there.. (screenshots to come) also, the flag room is an exact replica of my room, custom textures and all.

Sounded really good up until that point. I'm not sure a bedroom would be that great a design for the flag room.

ok, ill move the flag to a new room... ill use the bedroom as something else.. it already has a secret exit to the hangar bay in it so itll just be a scramble room i guess..

PS. The hangar bay is camoflauged and blends in with the ground. you press a switch from inside and the roof opens up and you can fly out.

And textures are your friend. I have never seen a wall painted that brilliant of a white in my life, and I work often in the paint sextion at work.

I wouldn't really categorize this as "sweet." Try not and judge your own levels so wonderfully then accualy post the screens themselves a week later. If i was harsh... then it's because im brutally honest.

No its not a mod or anything, all you have to do is turn on cheats in MP and type /npc spawn vehicle x_wing I believe.

Yes, that gets the x-wing to fly, but how did the picture of the x-wing damage, r2d2 and the aiming system get there? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

The provlem isnt your level quality, it's your attitude. If you come in here saying 'OH MAN THSI LEVEL R SO COOL" and you get around to posting it and its not-so-cool, then you are gonna get flamed and all. You need to know that your first levels wont be very good, and dont think that your level is awesome and that everything is the way its supposed to be. The truth is that the textures ARE horrible and that they NEED to be changed if you want people to like the level.

The entire point of this forum is to get feeback about your level, and if you arent willing to listen to other people's suggestions, then you can say goodbye to a nice rating on your level, because it doesnt matter what you think is cool, it matters what we think is fun and appealing. Since we are the ones who are going to download and play the level, not you.

Then don' showcase. Many level editors don't showcase their work until they beleive it's showcase worthy, and that's ok if you do showcase your first level/models. I showcased my firsts, and I got good feedback on them, and I accepted the critiscism. Do not post on the Showcase forum when you're not going to accept opinions of people. Cazor speaks the truth, the level is gross looking, and you can't place that on your newness to JO/JA editing. Either say that was the look you were going for, or attept to fix it. Don't say that it's ok since you're new.

On the level itself, it looks ok, but doesn't seem to have any gameplay OR visual properties. It looks like you're (As you said) just learning how to use the tools available to you. Perhaps you should spend more time on learning the techniques and using the tools instead of producing things in such an early state.

Gameplay looks good, I mean not to many maps offer that. Some things arn't as visually breath taking but atleast its in the right spot for the quality of having a good map!

Open air dog fighting! I mean seriously.. Thats fun! (Here is a hint, instead of making it all well.. Earth like, Make some hills and trees.. Or go for the space station idea.. Meh just a thought..)

Overl looks like fun!

So in SP mode you just go to a level and spawn a x-wing. Then the craft has r2d2, aiming thing and stuff like that? Strange..I just get a flying model of the x-wing. Maybe I'll try this out at a MP map!

Even though I know this if for JA, it does strongly resemble JK. I understand it might be fun to use Vehicles, but not if everything looks like JK.

I told you the textures were bad (so dd other people) and you said they were fine. Right now the level *does* kinda suck. Fix the things up that me (and other people) have stated and it wont suck. Dont completely ignore people then turn the other way to try and make me look bad.

For starters, fix the textures in your room. The bed and the walls are annoying. I know you mentioned your room is white, but, the color hurts your eyes.

I also suggest to change that grass texture. It's ugly.

all of the screens were taken under a fullvis(nolight) test compile, therefore, no lighting. the ground texture has already been changed to sand, as you can see, the progress of the work i had done on the level changes in each sucessive screenie.. the last being the most recent.

Who ever said good architecture and eyecandy don't go hand-in-hand? It is very possible to combine them. Also, if you are t make your first level, make it a small one. You can concentrate on learning stuff then.
