===============================
MAP Version : Final Fantasy VII, Midgar (Version 2.0)
New Textures: Yes
New Music: Yes
MAP Type : FFA, TFFA, Duel, Power Duel
BOT ROUTING: No, until someone offers
===============================
Map Installation : Unzip the contents of the zip into your JK3/GameData/Base directory,
and you're all set to go
INTEGRATED ASSETS: As well as the main map, this also contains a new vehicle model (just the one, with multiple
skins,) a new NPC and his sword, and a new static model. These are all included in the same pk3 as removing them
could make the map unstable on pure servers.
===============================
UPDATES:
- Whole map remade from scratch, with most noticeable improvements in FPS, even on the highest settings it should be easily
playable with a decent card. If you experience low FPS, let me direct you to your GFX card's AGP settings, google search it
if you're unsure what this is and turn it to the maximum available for your pc. For PCI Express users, this map should be a
breeze on your cards. If you use an old PCI card, I'd reccomend you stay away from JKA altogether :) Higher power processor
2.0ghZ+ reccommended, as this map seems to be drawn down by the number of poly's rather than the gfx quality.
- 2 major new areas added: Chocobo Ranch, Battle Square. I had to balance them between realism and playability/enjoyment
so expect some differences between the game and this, but don't worry, it is for the best ;)
- Rehaul/Redesign of most areas (e.g. the Slums), improved lighting and accessibility to all areas through teleports/lifts e.t.c
- Seperate duel map of the Battle Square.
- Two special minigames. The first is the battle square challenge. Press the switch at the top to face an onslaught of
increasingly powerful enemies (This is only available in the FFA). The second is a series of 10 hidden switches which
unlock the elusive gold and silver chocobos when all have been found and activated.Try shooting them or pressing them, btu watch out
for sephiroth!
- New vehicle, the chocobo! Comes in Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Black, Purple and Silver. Each has different attributes.
All respawn.
- Many others which you'll just have to find out :D
