* Details *
This map was designed for gameplay, by someone who has played real CTF games for
over 3 years. I decided on an Imperial type setting, with bridges and
Imperial hallways, somthing with a real Star Wars feel. I incorporated the
audio from one of the defaults, but spent alot of time choosing the right
one that fits the map best, the stormtrooper type music fits well along with
the theme. New to this map that I've never tried before are sound effect, steam
effects and detailed shaders. I wanted a map that didn't rely on buggy
elevators, narrow choke points or lack of weaponry. The design was taken
from point of view of both the offense and defense, looking at the flag
carriers' position to the idle offense and what would best fit in as far as
weapons placement, ammo and spawns. I am really happy with the excellent
frame rates, the details and texturing, the layout for professional capture
the flag and the speed bonuses of the routes.
Look to encounter extremly fast jedi on this map, a compliment of ammo and
well placed weapons for offense and defense, unique well thought out
wallruns and wallwalks and variations of speed routes that crisscross all
over the place giving it a real fun edge. On top of that your fps will soar
and delight in well thought out texturing and detailing, giving it that
Imperialistic look that only Star Wars can give.
* Special thanks to : *
Amidala, chopshopservers for tremendous contributions to the jka community,
the best capture the flag public server and her encouragement. Full credit
to her for bot routing, and giving me incentives to do ffa/tffa modes, her
server is a haven for jedi who play guns/force ctf hardcore!
Also thanks to Cannoli and especially acdcfanbill, for their endless hours
reviewing every detail of the map.
Thanks also to testers: jax, bluestar, hydra, red5 and many others
