of the various authors. map was started over a year ago....i formatted
my PC many and many times from the start of this work, and by now i can just
give you the link to some sites i used to get this awesome 3D models, don't ask

like i did!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS : place the " DMonolith2.PK3 " file
in your JKA (jedi academy) game folder,
in the directory GAMEDATA/BASE.
should be in the same folder as "assets1.pk3"
then start the game, create a new match, and under
"duel, ffa or power duel" you should find the map.
TECHNICAL : total brushes: 5606, total entities: 1727, lights: 578, misc_model: 79,
misc_model_static: 177, trigger_teleport: 68, NPC_vehicle: 14 .
DESCRIPTION: is a map for JKA (JK3, or jedi academy, call it as you want)
it has some features like flayable mini-tie fighters, a bot and vehicle spawner,
many rooms to duel, each one with a particular "touch" and things in it,
many places to have FFA, many points where u can duel with a dangerous environment
(mainly endless pit around you ;). to be precise u can find:
-an "outside" room, the top of a mountain with the monolith on top of it
-the monolith "main/throne" room, with a view over the hell pit,
and doors leading to every other room of the map.
-"warp" room, with a buried giant in it and many roks flying around...
-"lava" room, with a table for meetings, and a lot of space for duel.
-"arena" room, really simple, with vehicles and bot spawner in it.
-a room with 2 flying pyramids in it, good for duel/FFA on dangerous place.
-"land raider" room (land raider is that kind of tank, inspired by warhammer 40k,
that u can find in the cave under the castle, to open its forcefield, use the
button on the left of the throne in the same room)
-"hall of fame" room, with many pictures in it (and not only.... ;)
-a room with a little forest, a waterfall and a round bed.
-"the ring", where u can have ridicolous fight using the push of the ring
-a room with a giant statue in the middle of it, in witch you can enter.
-the caves, accessible from different points of the map.
-the "skull castle" room....with 2 accessible towers, the main throne room with the balconys,
with a spiked roof,many catwalks, and even an arena on the middle of the roof.
supported gametypes: duel, FFA, powerduel, TFFA.
is made by my fantasy, anyway is inspired by warhammer 40k.
THE STORY:
in a galaxy far far away....
on a planet in the edge of the galaxy, buried inside
the top of a mountain was discovered an ancient artifact,
coming from another time,and from outside the galaxy.
is power can be unimaginable.
imperials have secured the place around the escavation site,
they have cleared the artifact from rocks, but now they
waited for you to enter the monolith...
map is quite simple in main concept....exterior, interior main room,
secondary rooms. anyway it as many "secret" areas, some easy to find,
some hard. on one i want give a suggest: just be sure to be in the
center under the heaven light when it illuminate the skull ;)
(i don't say "how" go there, but be sure to check:
the labirinth caves,the arena with the 4 guardians and the "plan B" room.
BUGS : no bugs know. report if you find them!
-bots spawned in the arena, and the four guardians on certain configurations seems to crash the game
i don't know what to do about this, if you have a solution, contact me!
-with JKA patch 1.01,with FORCEMOD III, and FORCEMOD III patch 1.01 all works perfectly.
but if you have a lot of other *.PK3 (replacing vehicles,hehehehe) it can happen that some vehicles
will not work.
COMMENTS : was a continous fight against the editor bugs (GTKradiant 1.5.0)
for small map it's easy, but when map grow it start to be very buggy!
suggest: FORCEMOD III. is a very good mod, will give you much.
THE DOOR TO GET IN THE MONOLITH IS OPENED BY FORCE OR BY SHOOTING AT IT.
there is a lot of space for dueling....anyway i find fun have fights in
"dangerous places".....for this purpose this map is full of this kind of places,
hope you will use them ;)
