I've come to realize, over the short period of time that I've known him, that Halucid, while he doesn't deliver often, delivers rock-solid gold when he does. Congratulations mate, now I have something to try and aspire to!

Halucid makes MaDa proud.

Absolutely, positively, sure of it.

This deserves the appropriate question:

Is that JK?

OMG!?! IS THAT TEH JK?!

I select option 8

You've made my day Halucid - that is some truly unbelievably stunning work - with work like this, I don't care how often you deliver the goods... as long as they get released

Once, again - wowzers

-Jackpot

That's friggin awesome,

My room mate was like "DUDE, where can I download that JA level?"

This has GOT to be in the wrong forum....or thread even....

He's joking.

Oops, yeah... those screenshots kinda melted my brain.

Now that's cool.

Very cool indeed, awesome architecture. And equally as good textures of course.

wow ... you put everyone else to shame ...

At second glance, I can believe that the second set of shots are indeed JK. However, it is possible that the first set of shots could be of another game with a kyle model. I won't be satisfied until I see a HUD or gun model from JK. (I know, I'm thickheaded.)

Erm, it's hardly anything impossible. It's simply better than most JK work because he put a lot of effort into making it professional and void of amatuer imperfections.

What the heck... that's obviously the JKA kyle, and you can tell that it's vertex lighting, it's just very GOOD vertex lighting.

Bah! I INVENTED JK back in '76. But then that damn Lucas had to come by and steal all my glory! He was like "lemme see that!", and I was like "I have a bad feeling about this", and the rest is history!

Betchya I can make it to 3

Well, a less disrtacted editor could make something like this in about 2-3 weeks... but with my full-time job and girlfriend combined with S.S.D.D., well, it's taking me a long time.

Its a simple and easy tecnique I use all the time.... just lay down the 1st texture as you normally would... then stitch it to one of the perpendicular side surfaces, and use that surface as a guide tool for stitching around the curve. It takes all of 1 minute, and it ensures that the textures stay aligned even when a slide animation is applied.

Of course! Even tho I gave JKA a harsh rating, it really is my favorite JK mod... so when are ya finishing it? huh?

I hope so.

Emon's right... nothing is impossible.... in JK at least. Theres always work-arounds. In order to make a map like this, you just have to put all laziness aside andjust realize it can be done. Dont skimp on detail and a great idea just cuz it's a little challenging. What self-respecting editor would do that?

Now as for the MaDaMemorial Pack, it will be done.... even if I have to make every map myself! Of course I hope it wont come to that... I'm very glad that kyle is still working on his map... but considering how much Adam has given the Massassi community, I'm very surprised that there aren't more participants.... especially from the old-school Massassian big-names, who may have even known him better than I.... You know who you are.... dontchya think you should make just one last map?

i have to reinstall JK and JED and and... I TOUGHT I CAN LEAVE JK BEHIND! BUT NO! YOU &%$§"%( MUST SHOW SCREENSHOTS LIKE THIS... argh... gngngnngngn I will have to practice, practice, practice.

I still don't believe it's JK

You are the less laziest guy I ever met. You are mad. Die!

OMG!1 ARE THOSE FIRST 2 JK?!?!!!???!!!111++1+11?!?11:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Looks more like some stair way from URU...
RELEASE!:D:cool::D

Heh, I'll have to remember that.

Tsk, Tsk.... 'zactly what I'm talkin' about!:rolleyes:

If those mats are self-made (feel stupid for even questioning that), then you need to make a damn tutorial! &$^#@, you need to make a tutorial in every aspect of JK!


Or, I could sum it up in three words: Best. Screenshots. EVER!!!!

They're made by Madaventor, who passed away over a year ago due to brain cancer. These levels, and the Madamemorial level pack are a tribute to him as an editor, as a texture artist, but most importently, as a friend, and as a person.

JediKirby

*worship*

halucid, you remain a superior editor.

I also. It would greatly reduce the number of times I want to kill myself when faced with the task of stitching a weird surface.

OMG, That has to be seriously the most ownage i have EVER SEEN in JK DF2, just, FINISH IT ALLREADY. i MUST play that!

damm you for being at 10 on the scale of ownage where i am only 4

that so owns me

Whoa... If that first map is JK, then you've done incredible work! I originally thought mine was pretty good (which wass somewhere between UT and Q3A in quality), but I'm seeing JO/JA put to shame by this work. Perhaps I now feel that I should get back to working harder... Unfortuantely with my work, I still have the looming limit of 32768 surfaces per level... (my project is a 3-level mission, which will have near the limit for each, but each section will last for perhaps a full hour).

Anyway, I must say that it's amazing work. In the first shots, I see what I presume to be excelent work with sectors (that ring-like area is a real trick to make witout HOMs), and that filtere lighting effect looks very cool. Please allow these projects to reach completion; From what I read here, it would be the best plan for your health.

I'm guessing he made them as 3do's then you dont get detail HOM

impressive work.

Second set of shots needs some work on lighting.

Grrr.... scowl.... Lighting always comes last. Less work that way. Besides, I plan on making 'em all dynamic anyway, once I master GBK's flicker.cog ... anyway thanks. If the great BlackPanther approves, then I'm

It's nice to see that JK can look so good after so many years.
you're doing all of us proud

Those sorts of curvy things are actually easier to do in JED than in radiant. I know, because I wrote the tutorial on how to do it.

I looked back at it again recently. I can't do anything in JED anymore. But you're making me want to learn all over again.

I also love what you've done with the subway textures. I never imagined the roof of a subway car could make such a wonderful wall.

wow, indeed.

The first 2 shots are awesome, quite obviously JK, but awesome. The ASF3 shots look about rough to be honest, individual sections of architecture look good but they don't seem to fit together right (in my opinion).

Eh, yeah... I know what you mean.... if there's one thing I've learned since my 1st map, it's that no matter how good it looks, it can always be better. In my defense, it's not done. I know the sections yer refering to, an I have some extra cleaves, lighting, and texturing to go. It'll look better. Promise.

JM, I was equally as impressed with the subway set... it was much more multipurpose than I originally thought. Nice and clean. Ya think I should put in the texture with the JM graffiti?

BTW... JED=love

Ive got SUCH a hard on right now

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Yes, you should. Mada did make that set for me, though since I merely had to ask for 'a wall for over there', I never really experimented with it's usage. Having a texture artist at your beck and call is a great way to map. Such a pity Zully is so hard to bend to my whims.

heh-heh, I liked that so much I decided to put it in my sig.

Need!!!....More!!!....Screenies!!!
