Hello, Jawa Corps is a multiple gaming clan, We currently support Star Wars Galaxies, Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, Empire at War, and Battlefield 2142. Our goal is to have fun and play in some events in the future.

Feel free to check out our website and look around. http://www.jawacorps.net and if you like what you see apply to join.

We would love to get a RC section started, if you are interested just join up on the forums and we will see how it goes. We need 10 members to start it.

Hope to see some of you on the forums =)

If I open up a forum for this, who wants to head it?

I don't think I will be involved with this one, but I'm all for supporting it. I just need somebody willing to post the information to start, and make rewrite our RC tutorials for it, and some new ones.

Anyone interested?

The first of our new games we will be supporting is now operational. A section has been made for it at the bottom of the forums, head there for more information, share information and all that good stuff =)

Expect changes to happen to the website, and a few more to the forums.

I started this a month or two ago, and never knew what I wanted to do with it until today.



Half the map ahs yet to be textures, and none of them are lined up right, but thats the basic layout, by the time it goes final the SM's in the middle will probably triple. There will be some hidden areas, but not alot because its ment to be even =P

There will be both DM and CTF of this map, like all my other arena type maps.

Any ideas for names from the one editor screenshot you have seen? =D

Well I found one, I just dont remmber who it was >.<

So heer is the link for everyone =P

I was thinking of what to do with this site, because RC is obviously dieing, and with the new FPS coming out (that are worth getting) like Battlefield 2142, UT07, and other games like that. Why not expand to include other games?

I will most likely be mapping for BF2142 and then UT07, I know some people talked about mapping for AA as well.

With a little big of restructure we could expand to include these games and more.

If this gets a good view from everybody I will go ahead and start restructering things, if not then the site will continue to die with RC.

We would redo the Mapping page to include the other games tutorials, and finaly get more stuff on the models and texture page, along with all the toher pages, we would also have a section for each agme on the forums. The tutorials would all be user created, and hopefuly we could get a structure on them so the go easy to harder stuff.

Let me know what you guys think.

What would you guys like to see on it?

I think it should be just modding stuff, and not general game questions. So what are some of the really common problums that alot of people ask about?

I'm cleaning the website up a bit to make it look nice for any new people that come. Are there any other pages that you guys think are really messy?

~Sandcrawler

Just four more days. So Merry X-mas =D

Here is my gift to you guys. New Ranks =D You will just ahve to see what they are thow. They should be up pretty fast here.

Download Statistics:
Total Files: 127
Total Downloads: 6225

I would say thats pretty damn good myself. I do bleave that Mod maps are on the Rise, now if only more servers would run them...I know I for one am sick and tired of the original maps, its so boaring to play them...

~Sandcrawler

Almost all new mappers need a map page, simply post here with any text you want on your page, and as long as your maps are uploaded to the download section they will be added.

I wont be doing the maps that are not in my download section here, because filefront is mean to me. If it wont let you upload you should let me know, and if you don't have a catagory you should also let me know.

~Sandcrawler

Who plays? If anybody needs a guild, or help you ask me my name in game is Sandy Crawler.

I play my Ritulist that has beaten Factions and Nightfall, and is about half way threw profeces. Also I lead a Guild that is around just to have fun and we are pretty much just a group of close friends. We do have a cape and hall, so just because we don't want to get huge dosen't mean we don't have anything.

~Sandcrawler

We should be able to pull this off easy, Just have everybody join as one side in the server, and with the AI then it would be a Co-Op against the AI. We should check into it and see if we can set the Path Nodes to makes them smarter when they are running around. We could even have two team fighting threw the droid and then eventualy getting to each other and having to kill each other.

I might mess around with this later and see what will work.

~Sandcrawler

You can download all maps from here (or add your own maps):
http://www.sandcrawler.net/forum/rcmod.php?page=downloads

Part 1 - Adding Download
1. Before you do anything else you need to Log In, or Register.
2. Next lets get your files ready for upload, you will need to compress your map into one of the following formats: .png, .jpg, .gif, .zip, .rar, .7z I recommend that you just use .zip, in your Windows Explorer right click on your file, and click Send To > Compress (zipped) Folder. You may also wish to upload images, they will need to be .jpg, .png, or .gif.
3. Now make sure that you are still logged in, and navigate to the Killing Floor Downloads page. Now click on Upload at the top.
4. When you visit this page for the first time you will get a Directory created message, just refresh the page, or click on the supplied link. You will see you have a few options at the top, depending on how many files you have to upload you may want to use the Four File Upload (You don't have to use all four). Regardless of what form you decide to use simply browse to the files you prepares and push the upload button. It will look like its not doing anything but I assure you that it is, just give it a few minutes depending on your file size, and upload speed.
5. Once you have your files upload click on the Add a Download at the top to return to the Downloads section. You will see a form to fill out, and that it already shows the Files you uploaded. Go ahead and fill this out and push submit. Then click on View Your Download Page, to get the link to provide. That is all there is to it. *I have to add your name to the main page before you show up. So don't worry if your not on it, you map is still in the database. I check and add names to the list several times daily.*

Part 2 - Updating a Download
1. Before you can update your map you will need to be logged in.
2. Now go back to the Downloads page, and find your map. While on your download page you will see a - Update under the Map Name, click on it to be taken to the Update page.
3. You will see a form that looks a lot like the Add form, except your current data will already be loaded in. You can change the everything that you had to enter into the Add form. Make you changes and push submit and your file will be updated instantly.

Here are a few links to resources available to help you with designing textures or simply downloading them.

~DooFi :P

007 Docks is a map based off of the level named Docks in 007 Agent Under Fire. This map consists mostly of up close combat, there are shotguns and repeaters placed on the map. Its a pretty big play on the Agents Under fire version...but thats were I got the idea so it will be included in my 007 Series =D

Players: 8

Release Date: ??This weekend??

Screen Shots:




I used need to add a few more things, a frame/border around the doors, and some other small things and then I bleave it is ready...but we will see if thats this weekend or some day down the road.

~Sandcrawler

First off the people who are in the team other then me:
Sulfried Shrike
Explode

I would like to see about getting DT's or DooFi's help, because I think we will need some custom meshes made, if We do it how I would like too hehe.

Release day Goal: X-Mas (I think this would eba  nice realease date for the map, and should eb plenty of time to do it. alot of the map will be repeated SMs.)

Here is my idea for a map, and I will post up some floorplan pics a bit later:

A Urban City map, I was thinking we make four pretty big buildings, hotels, offices ect. I dunno what Buildings we want to do yet, but we do four buildings with Insides, and then a 2048 sized park in the middle. and maybe a parkign gradge off to the side, or just make it for looks. Four buildings and a park would be very city like, so we will need to build some SM of some buildings, I'm thinking apartment buildings, and maybe make a housing complex off in the distance. What are your guys thoughts.

What are you guys Email, lets get us a list going so we can email the stuff to each other...unless it gets to a pioint were it is to big, then I will figure somethign else out.

Emails:
Sandcrawler - mailto:DS.sandcrawler@gmail.com">DS.sandcrawler@gmail.com
Shrike -
Explode -  

Thats about it for now, I will post up some type of floor plan in a bit.
~Sandcrawler

I'm back right now it is around Midnight on the first. I'm here to announce to you a few things.

First for anyone who is wondering we have come up with a brand new contest name, By popularity the new contest name is Mod Month.

Here they are:
Contest Information
How Voting will work

Contest Information:
Firstly the website, it holds all of the following information and more. it is here.

The contest officially started at 12:01 AM Pasific Time, the floor plan is up and you should start working on your map soon, if your like me then you like to draw everything out and then just put it all together, you may be the type to just start working both work and in this contest both will work just as good.
The main reason for a Floor Plan is to make it easier on you to finish the map in a months time, When I look in the editor I don't need to see those same lines, but I need to see the same hallways and room structures. I want you to use your four free rooms to you benefits, and I want to see some different maps.

So here is a rundown of the rules in a simple form, look on the website for them to be better explained.
1. Size is up too you.
2. Four free rooms.
3. No announcing the maps until the end of the contest.

That it, look on the website for more information, Including a FAQ just for the mapping Contest. The website also holds the Floor plan.

How Voting will work:
Well once again, all this information will be on the website located here.

The winner of this mapping contest will be determined by popular vote, and instead of making everybody come to my forum and do the voting only on there I have decided that I will come to you, and the voting will be done on your clan forums.
The four forums that I hope to do voting on are DS, MOTR, RC, and my own forums.

==Leaders/Admins if this is a problem then tell me, and I wont do it here, or if we need to work something out I'm pretty flexible.==

At the end of the voting period, the 7th of every month I will come around and collect the votes and total them, the Winner will be announced at the beginning of the next contest in a post much like this one.

Thats it, all this information and more can be found on the website, if you can't find something on the website and need to know then just drop me an Email. My Email is DS.sandcrawler@gmail.com

Making a map, I need two people who wish to be in on a new map Idea that I have. If your interested post.

The map I have in mind will be a big Urban map, it will be good for Sniping and close combat both.
