WHAT IS IT
This script is basically a giant "catalog" of coordinates for teleporting to (with administrator powers of course). All it does is list the coordinates, you must be an admin of the KR server to fully utilize this script.

GO ON...
It has a main menu with 3 of the 4 maps (I hate Chandrilla so I left it out) to choose from. Each map has another menu inside of it (except for Korriban because it's so small) with 3 categories of coordinates.

In retrospect, and for those who may need to fully visualize the concept, this is what the script would look like laid out:


)MAIN

)Tatooine
)Main Coordinate Locations
)Inserted Map Coordinate Locations
)Taust Special

)Vjun
)Main Coordinate Locations
)KR Only Coordinate Locations
)Taust Special

)Korriban Coordinates


The main coordinates' categories are all general areas anyone can get to without admin powers. Specifically "hangouts" or central areas.

The "Inserted Map Coordinate Locations" for Tatooine are like the Yavin Hall, the Duel Room, Training Room and finally 2 different "explorable areas" for the Taspir level. PLEASE USE CAUTION IN THESE AREAS, there are LOTS of holes in the map where one may fall through into the void. Not just on the floors and walls, but the ceilings as well. I imagine many have not been to these places before, so have fun!

The "KR Only" locations are self explanatory (under the Vjun category menu).

Both "Taust Special" menus are places that either I couldn't fit into the script because I'm too lazy to add another cycle or because they fit really into neither. Mainly the first one.

HOW TO USE

When in game, open the console and type /exec tm . In game instructions will appear in your console. Close your console in order to navigate the menu.

To navigate through the script, you must use PAGE UP (Previous) and PAGE DOWN (Next), as well as END (Enter). Pressing PAGE DOWN will bring you to the next category in the menu, pressing PAGE UP will bring you back to the previous category. Pressing END will open up the category and bring you to either a new menu or a list of coordinates.

To go back up a level, find the option that says )Back, then press END.

To restart the script, or go back to the main menu if you're lost/confused, press HOME.


HOW TO INSTALL

First, you must download the script by [url=http://199.91.152.93/i5e6272vq4ag/jgmft0ymlvm8nv0/tm.cfg[/url].

Next, plop that cfg file right into your JKA Base folder. Then you're good!

If you don't know how to do THAT part.... Open My Computer -> Local Disc (C:/) or wherever you installed JKA - > Program Files - > LucasArts - > Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - > Game Data - > base (Then find where you downloaded the script and put it in there).




WHY TO GET?!

Well I put a lot of time/effort into it because I basically do nothing all day (since it's Christmas break, mind you).

It definitely has helped me, since I don't want to put binds onto my keyboard for each location. Sure it's a pain typing all of it in, but if you gotta go somewhere - you gotta go somewhere. Know what I mean?

I have considered making a personalized version, which would be entirely easy for me to do (for anyone that wanted it). It's just if I were to personalize it, either I'd make you do it yourself (following strict directions on how to) or I rewrite the script to allow itself to recognize the user's name and automatically do it for you.

If you need any help, don't be afraid to ask me in-game or through the forums here.


Anyways, this is my Christmas present (2011) to KR!! So Merry Christmas / Happy holidays!

Hey Taust - nice work. I already have my telepoints scripts all worked out. so I personally don't need these - that combined with the tele favorites system built into the Admin Commander.

But I just wanted to ask, for those locations in the more common areas, is the Z axis at ground level, or do you drop in? If they are at ground level, can you please add 180 to the Z-axis - that is a safe height to tele-in from without fall damage, obviously this will have to be lowered in rooms with a low ceiling.

I am just concerned about telefrags, as they are very unpleasant. If its easier, you could wrap every command with a ghost: -
"amghost; wait 180; amtele x y z a; wait 180; amghost"
Hate to think what that may do to the cvar memory space, as that is a small memory environment.

Yes, I can do that. I never planned it to be so complex, just keeping it simple for now, but that's doable....

However, I haven't 100% discovered how to change "a" to be the user... I've tried making a variable which is setable in-game. The variable would replace "a" with the name or word the person entered it as...

/set tmscriptid taust

but.....

/amtele x y z tmscriptid

doesn't work. I'm probably missing out on something huge because that seems really dumb and illogical to me. I'm not a professional yet unfortunately lol.

But adding 180 to the Z is a cinch.

And yeah, Fal just showed me the program you put together lol, and I am humbled by its power!

The a is the angle you tele in at, from 0 to 360 - the direction you will be facing.

So its /amtele [name|playerID] X Y Z Angle

You used to be able to get away without username when you are tele'ing yourself, but yes, sadly, you have to enter the users name with every tele command, and no, you cannot set that to be a cvar or a macro or a metatag. My Admin Commander inserts the Players ID into the tele from the favorites, or you can use the ~pid~ metatag in a custom command, like "amghost ~pid~" would ghost the user - of course none of that helps you.

You lost me a few times... but I think I got the jist -> it's impossible.

I'll add 180 to each z coordinate later and reupload, thanks!
