Jake's silly ol' mapping thread / EMP Archive

EON01 - Red Moutain: Yes, you spelled it Moutain.  Seems a bit bland, though I see you did in fact make it possible for the bots to get more weapons.  Needs more detail. Also seems better suited for Duels.
EON02 - Ice Hole: Much better then before. Again seems better suited for Duels.
EON03 - Water Works: Still needs to offsets fixed for the ledges, the black shouldn't be showing up, activate Lower Unpegged on them and it should fix that. Also something borked for a moment and I had low grav out of the water, but it corrected itself.  Still a bit small and better suited for Duels.

EON04 - Sector 8: Big huge areas that are completely empty, yet 3 weapons all in the center of the map.  Same problem with previous map with the offsets (exact same textures too). Again, seems more like a Duel map. Also slight maze, with nothing really in it.  People around here seem to have enough of a problem with mazes to begin with.
EON05 - Magma Man's Magma Machine: Another Duel map. Again the texture offset.  Bland map.  Room with a low ceiling you can't jump in.  And a missing texture.  Oh and 4 Needle Cannon all in the exact same room.

What do you mean by black? like at the top of a texture? If you want that gone I can fix that. Also i feel like completely redoing sector 8 which would be a huge justice.
EDIT: Omg you forgot the mega and madness in the 5th map ruined forever! JK

Exactly, thats the offset thing I mention, just simply check lower unpegged on the walls that have floors on top of them.

I know it's almost been a year since updating this thing, but i kinda lost interest in mapping after finishing Chrono Man's map for the Megaman Forever Expansion. However I have regained inspiration and a new update shall be coming soon. First of all I'll finally be adding the replacement for Eon04, some weapon layout changing, and general sprucing things up.

I did have some fun on your maps, at least in Saxton Hale. Looking forward to the updates.

Hello all, Jake here. I've been letting this topic sit untouched since summer of last year.

Over the past few weeks i have gotten a reinvigorated motivation to create maps with the new version being out and all. And i gotta say, I've been missing out. Comparing how the 2 maps I am currently working on (that have been shared in the screenshots thread a few times) to the current version. I can definitely say i have improved.

The first post has been updated to feature news about Version 3 and newer screenshots of the two maps. I have decided to completely start from scratch once again and redo everything and create newer maps as well. I am going to shoot for the big 15 to get into the projects section, and I do have proof of my work so if I may ask. Can this topic be moved to the Works in progress section?

Meanwhile I have a question to ask: Which would sound better EMP the current title because of my old username, or go with the generic JDM (Jake's Deathmatch) for consistencies sake and to make it easier to correlate with me. I will start a poll on this and check the results whenever it seems like there's a clear cut winner.

I think that (letter here)DM is starting to sound overused and generic, and Eon sounds cool, so I voted for Eon.

[Jakeinator]

Alright the results are in! I'll be leaving this map pack with its old name, for it's the more popular choice!

Otherwise here's a checklist of maps I'm working on in order of when I'm doing them, whether it be for this or other expansions.

(click to show/hide)

Eon01: Nearing completion, still needs to have some visuals added
Eon02: Nearing completion as well, still needs to have visuals be finalized and get some glitches and inconsistencies
solved
Secret map for secret project: Haven't started, will work on once the first two maps are finished
Bit Man for DOS expansion: Will work on in tandem with the secret map
Eon 03-15: will work on after Bit Man is finished

Once Eon01 and 02 are finished I will release a small demo of the two maps to show whats to come and act as a basic mapping portfolio for fan-expansions I may wish to work on in the future (like dos and MMV).
After Eon05 I will release a second demo so there will be some more content and not just be a 2 map mappack sittng in the corner, but after that all 15 maps will be finalized for the complete version 3 before releasing another version for you guys![/s]

Alrighty then, I am changing this from a solo map pack to a collaboration with some people from the Insanity Classes mod, so I am shifting focus, I guess? If I feel like making a map that isn't for that map pack I'll just post here.
