Misc. Author Info : This is the first map I've actually released for Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. Although the release of Jedi Academy is near, I had decided that I would release one map for JK2. Even if it was only five hours from the release of JA. Anyways, I've made many maps, but never actually finished any of them. The only other thing I've released was a prefab that really wasn't that good. I got into the beta stage of one map, but eventually scrapped the entire map. So, I'm glad to have finally released a map for JK2! An updated version for JA will be released once I have the appropriate tools.
Description : ffa_cargoship is the cargo bay area of a large ship. There are three bays, and a hallway to connect the bays. Each bay has different qualities. Cargo bay 1, which, when facing the locked door, is on the left side of the map, doesn't have many crates. Here you will find a great place to duel, and even a few cramped areas to hide in. In cargo bay 2, opposite cargo bay 1, there are many, many crates. As you enter, there are paths you can take through the labyrinth of crates. There are several items in here that may be hard to find. You can also jump on top of the crates, and simply get around that way. You will miss the items below, however. Cargo bay 3, located at the end of the long hallway, is very large. There are many crates of all sizes in here, but there is still lots of room to jump around and duel in. There are also many cramped passages through the crates, some leading to items, others to a dead end. This room, at first glance, seems like a bad place to play the gamemode, "Jedi Master" in, due to the size. However, it is possible to get all the way to the top of the stack without force powers. I have put all the spawn points on the ground, so that bots will not jump around until they find the bot path. Oh, and the little hallways between the cargo bays and the hallway is suppose to be a kind of "airlock," in case the pressure is compromise. But for practical purposes, it's to increase framerate. Have fun playing. :)
Credits : Credits go to my beta testers, as listed below. I would also like to thank Spector, for originally inspiring this map, through his map 'The Shadow.' I must thank my friends Alien2385, Blinky, Drachemorder, Fabier, and Legolas for contributing textures. Thanks also go out to Lucasarts and Raven for creating this game. George Lucas, of course, is thanked, because he originally created Star Wars, which kicked this whole thing off. However, all thanks must go to Jesus Christ, for what He has done.
Beta Testers : Alien2385, Drachemorder, Indesertus, Fabier, Frodo4God, Legolas, Garfield, MatarSith, Tinny, Thoringil, and Sabe.
