[MAP]Trickjumpmap

[cortez]

Many player complain that there is no trick jump map. Sometime ago Burning asked me to do someting like that.

and here is the map:

If someone want to the map on a server the use normal deathmatch settings.

Big thanks to tZork for his great textures

ok didnt align the textures but is this necessary?

What do you think about that map? Post sugestions here

Map Performance: Great. Even with 10 bots at the highest spot where i can see the hole map and all bots i have more then 60fps.
Map Placement: Looks great, much stuff to try out, but i miss some more jumppads(maybe 3-4 more).
Gameplay: (nearly)Godmode is great, nearly unlimited ammo too The Fast rocketlauncher is good, but i dislike the most changes on other weapons (i.e. mortar fires slow, laserjumps arent that high) so you are nearly limited to use RL only.

bigger and different weapons settings


And how could this be that many people load this map but noone (except Bundy) give a feedback?

[Bundy]

Maybe some people dont understand what to do with this map. To give them a reason why those maps are nice, check this video:

Some of those tricks arent possible in nexuiz, but thats the reason why cortez need feedback. Maybe there have to be some changes in the physics too for the next releases of this map.

For your new map, didnt check it allready, but I will give you feedback soon.

Not sure if a trickjump map should have different weapon settings. For example, the electro combo should not be killed... to prevent self damage, you can "set g_balance_selfdamagepercent 0". Whoever put the "percent" in the cvar name deserves to shoot a rocket at the floor - at 3 "percent" self damage

But when you really want to set that in the mapcfg, also provide an exit_cfg!

dm_parc1.mapcfg:
set exit_cfg parc1_exit.cfg
set save_g_balance_selfdamagepercent $g_balance_selfdamagepercent
set g_balance_selfdamagepercent 0
// same for all the g_start_weapon_...

parc1_exit.cfg:
set g_balance_selfdamagepercent $save_g_balance_selfdamagepercent
// same for all the g_start_weapon_...

i agree, trickjump maps should provide jumps that are doable with normal settings
ideally everything in the map should be tuned to the limit of the game's physics, not the other way round
On the other hand, i don't actually get any weapons in your map, only rockets, cells, armor, megahealth and quad. It probably has to do with the fact that loading parc1.cfg fails (i only tried the second version).

Regarding the map itself: i couldn't really find any use for those looooooong ramps except laserjumping over them to the very edge of the ramp and then jump from there. And this was possible only with the shorter ramps like the quadruple one with the jump pad in the middle, taller ramps like those to the spawn area or that "ramp hill" left me puzzled as to what their intended purpose was.
And, ramps should actually lead somewhere imo, possibly to other ramps that in turn lead to more ramps, then some platform, then yet more ramps etc... A ramp jump that only leads you back to the ground is a little pointless, don't you think? In general i think there should be more jumps you can perform without weapons: a great map like runningman comes to mind here (or Super Mario 64 maps i'd love to play those on Nexuiz).
And more jump pads would be great, like Bundy said.
Also, the "full pipe" is broken: you can fall through the half of it that points to the "pink oval"

But, in any case, i love the idea and had fun with your map even though i was limited to laserjump only (the tower part is great for that).
Keep up the good work!

the map would be boring with the normal weapon settings and you can get much more speed with jumping or rocketjumps or whatever like quake.

the map is with weapons what do you want to say?

you dont get any weapons when you are start the map with map parc1 If you start the map via the menu then you got weapons

how high's the skybox?
i hope it's 20 times the width
