Shaft - File Description  


Description:
This small duel map is unlike most others. Usually you have an area, where you duke it out. Sure, this is an area, but "duking it out" will be the least of your worries. Not only do you have to fight for saber supremacy, but you have to fight for decent footing. This map is oriented vertically, rather than horizontally. It features a shaft, perhaps 20 feet across, but quite tall. The shaft is littered with thin platforms, no more than about three feet wide, for you to jump back and forth from to make your way to the top (should you so choose).

The interesting thing about this map is that there is no "solid ground" so to speak. You don't climb up the shaft to be the first to reach a big platform; no such platform exists. Rather you must make a stand on the small platforms, using your skills to keep from falling to what could be a gruesome death (or just a fractured tibia, if you're lucky).

Personally, while the map could probably use a little more aesthetic detail in certain areas, I think it's a really interesting concept. Several of the platforms will also break as soon as you step on them, so that's one more added peril that adds a little luck into the equation. As a duel map I think it's perfect, as it tests not only your skill with a saber, but your skill with your surroundings. On a side note, bot support was included... but I wouldn't recommend playing with it. I think it would end up being a very boring botmatch. wink

Great map. At first when I jumped down onto that 'grate', I went what the he** because I didn't fall down and the suddenly it broke and I fell down LOL. 9/10, definetly using this for duels. Keep up the great work.

 #2 - Posted by: Bluestormtrooper (Member) on 02-21-2007 at 16:43
Ehh. Its too blue, add some more colors. The textures are repeditive. Add some more detail. Windows or something.

Its not that great.


 #3 - Posted by: SuperSmeg (FileFront Network Staff) on 02-21-2007 at 16:48
Rock Two Thumbs Up! Beer! Beer!

10/10


 #4 - Posted by: Ryojin (Jedi Knight Files Staff) on 02-21-2007 at 17:07
I like the concept... Too many people out there focus only on their saber skills, but are horrible at paying attention to their surroundings... This map makes use of both parts, so I like it. stick out tongue

It would be nice if there was a larger platform at the top also, though...


 #5 - Aside from the heavy amounts of blue and stuff... - Posted by: OrangeSbr (Member) on 02-21-2007 at 20:39
The concept of this map was exactly (and I mean EXACTLY) what I wanted for a map. Just a small map, very tall, large amounts of leaping required, and very little foothold, possibly encouraging a very heated duel match.

Rock on, dude. keep 'em coming.

8/10


 #6 - Posted by: Shadow_Knight_S (Member) on 02-21-2007 at 23:56
Sorry about the blueness, i'm pretty lazy when it comes to lighting and texturing. stick out tongue

Oh and Bluestormtrooper... What's wrong with blue? wink Anyway, it's a big ol' shaft... It's not meant to have that much detail, but I see your point.

Hope you all enjoy it! Peace an' love! <3

Real nice map. I agree 100% with Ryojin. This will help JKA players focus on their surroundings, as well as the duel. Just a little better lighting/color, and I think it will be better. The blue is too... blue, lol. I'll give this map a 9/10

 #8 - Hmm.... - Posted by: OandO (Member) on 02-22-2007 at 10:11
Hmm... Looks very similar to my (unreleased) claustrophobia duel map...

 #9 - Posted by: Mikaka (Member) on 02-22-2007 at 12:35
Hmm, it also looks exacly like my map never made, never started and never relased, ya

 #10 - Posted by: Shadow_Knight_S (Member) on 02-22-2007 at 14:10
It looks like your (unreleased) claustrophobia duel map, because I quite obviously read your mind and stole the idea from you! ...Seriously though, I just mapped this from the top of my head mate, and if it bears any resemblance to your map (which i've never seen) it was unintentional.

 #11 - Hmm... - Posted by: Wadleedooman (Member) on 02-23-2007 at 15:35
Not all that good, too bloo.... Some more creativity would be nice, but it is still a very good idea. Make a v2 and blow me away! 7/10 Because I hate duels because I suck at duels any way.

 #12 - <3 - Posted by: ShadowThesis (Member) on 02-23-2007 at 17:17
I would just like to say, 10/10 manly points to SK. <3

 #13 - Posted by: SEX_MATT (Member) on 03-06-2007 at 09:14
it reminds me a lot of a map in Duke Nukem multiplayer smile

 #14 - 9/10 - Posted by: gordo854 (Member) on 10-13-2007 at 18:27
i LOVE the concept! i think it's fun to duel on! good job smile
