Proelium Revisited
2004-04-10, 11:13 AM #1
Deep within the darkest realms of the known galaxy, a mighty battleground stands upon the barren wastelands of a forsaken planet. Though ancient, this battleground still encounters many warriors, desperately seeking a new challenge in the form of the an epic duel with whoever dare appose them, locked in vicious combat atop the aging catwalks of the arena known to the few who dare enter it, as Proelium . . .

This is my first released level, and I hope you like it. I'm afraid it's quite small, but I thought I'd try and go for quality over quantity.

Here are the credits and specs:

Special Thanks goes to:

Rob for his “Ten Thermal Dets” trap cog.
The Mega-ZZTer for his “Random Powerup” cog.
Nightmare for his “Teleporter” cog.
(all of the above can be found in the Massassi cog archives)

GBK for his “Music” cog and Edward for tweaking it.
Stormtrooper for making me his “Automatic Double Doors” cog.
lucky_jackpot for making me his “Double Door Elevator” cog.
DSLS_DeathSythe for making me his “TieBomber” cog.

Yves Allaire for his astounding textures!
(his site can be found at http://planetquake.com/hfx/ )
The Makers of Unreal Tournament for their awesome music!
(in case you’re are wondering, it is now public domain)

HalycontheDestroyer for his brilliant job of Beta-Testing!
MikeC for his wonderful help in identifying several problems!
Marissa for her additional help in Beta-Testing!

It's Jedi Knight Mp, deathmatch suited for 2 - 4 players (as it is rather small), and the file's about 1.71 MBs so nothing too major.

The link for the download is on my site and can be found at http://www.freewebs.com/vaderscorner/proelium.html !

Well I hope you like it and comments are really appreciated! Thanks! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

[EDIT: THis level also features a Tie Bomber that flies by overhead every minute or so and delivers a payload of heavy-duty bombs!
This level also features new Music!]

I updated it. The map now has proper lighting. I don't know why I didn't include it in the first place, but oh well. Please tell me if you think it's an improvement. Also, the doors happen look bad in the pics due to jpg compression. Well, thanks for criticism guys! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Was, kinda fun... Kinda small. Liked the random powerup. You could realy build more on this. Alot more. A whole ship!

And, your homepage seems a little slow. Took me 3 minutes to download the level.

Visuals are great, and the music rocks, too. But yeah, it's too small. Just one more floor with some health packs. And make the random powerup respawn time shorter.

nice looking level.

i did find the secret area, but i also found a small problem with the level too i think.

while i was looking around i was in one of the elevator shafts and the doors closed before i got out. after that the doors wouldnt open, the elevator wouldnt move and i was traped in the elevator shaft. i had to kill myself to get out.
is it supposed to be that way?

you may want to fix that if its not. people probably wont like having to kill themselves or wait for others to open the door to get out of the elevator shafts.

Mmm... looks good.
Me wants to get it.
*downloads*

[edit] SWEET!
But yeah, please fix the elevator/door bug.

My Rating = 9.3
Because of that bug and because you weren't kidding when you said "small" (it just needs a little more playing area). But the quality is great. Gotta love that Tie Bomber too.

I wait to see your next level. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Thankyou very much for the comments, it's nice to know someone liked it. As for the elevator prob, I'm thinking of re-releasing the level as a "v. 1.1" hopefully to Massassi. Does anyone know if Massassi is currently accepting files, or are they down (last I heard fileservers were up, but I could be wrong). Anyway, if it's possible and (or) you think I should send 'er in, please say.

It has also occurred to me this level might have been better in a pack, esp. a JK Arena pack. Oh well. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

I heard that the fileservers were up, but since the php scripts (or something) were being updated, massassi admin wasn't going to upload any more files until it was done.

And version 1.1 sounds nice. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Slaw, you're a Cog King, maybe you might be able to contribute to the making of 1.1. If you're interested, you can hop on over to the cog forum and take a look at the code. Much Obliged!
