[MAP] Surf

(Miki) #1

Hi all!

Long time ago that I’ve checked this forum, too long :wink:
Anyway,I’ve found some maps of me (funmaps) in my old, backupped ET folder, and I’ve found some maps. I’ve checked them all, and of course they are fun to play, but most of then don’t have correct textures in the PK3 nor the correct command maps and others. Anyway, the one I did find that is pretty finished and a lot of fun to play, is surf! I guess it would run fine on any trickjump server. Check out this screenshots first :slight_smile:




Now you are probably thinking ‘What the hell is that’. Well, the idea is simple. No shooting – no objective – just fiun. The idea is getting down the track first. The whole map is ‘slick’ so you slide down. You have to run as fast as you can to go trough sharp corners, take longjumps and others. Anyway, just download her and check her out!

If you guys like it, I have another map like this but that is only ‘half done’ (but it’s way harder to finish then this one) and I could try to complete that one then :wink:

Oh and by the way, I know there are places where you can ‘cheat’, where you can jump on another track, but there’s no challenge in that, now is there? :wink:

Don’t mind the ‘missing textures’ thing, shouldn’t be a problem on your pc’s, if it is, tell me :wink: (+ its kinda nice with the ‘fail-textures’ too :D)

That’s a funny map that you made here, just one thing that could be made: to add lights and compile lightmaps so we can see better the track.I’ve got also an idea: what about making some turbo places with target_push entities with high jumps,would be fun.
A last thing I noticed,when I want to jump I crash my bones,if I remember there is a shader parameter that disables that, it’s surfaceparm nodamage.
Other than that,I prefer surfing maps on trickjump maps,I may add a surf board model and tweak animations to force the “idle” animations while sliding,would be funny :smiley:

I know that this concept can be worked out way better. As I said, this is an old map, but I still like to play it! You are free to make your own versions of it, I know that you have such surfaceparm but you’ll lose all your speed then(?) Anyway, there’s no need in jumping? :slight_smile:

You don’t lose speed in etpro/tjmod. Trickjumping is usually done with those (I consider this being a tjmap).
