Hi all!

I've finish my first public release of ut4_skipjumps..

this jump map has 25 jumps, since is my first map and im posting it now cuz i wanna know your opinion about it, what can be changed, something wrong, missing, bugs , the thing you do to all maps

I wanna give an especial thanks to delirium, moonie and syn who have helped me setting gtk radiant and give the basic notions of icy platforms, no damage, etc... thx alot guys

The map should be released at septembem but dude to my 18 birthday vacations i only have time to put it now, i've return yesterday

In futher releases ill thinking to add a theme to the map and build a skybox for it.

The name skipjumps i thing on it bicause when i did the first bsp file and test it the jump where to small and u could just skip them ;P

I'm leaving here the download link and a video that some friends make me to do ...

hope you like it

Generally overall a Nice map!
the jumps would have taken forever to test and surely paid off.

However you have no lighting in your map and relying on a -meta compile wasnt the best Idea

I hope you can fix up your lighting for the next release,

Good luck and well done.

Sure all do it for the next release, well i didnt do it for the first beta because when i finish it i didnt know how to put light, skybox and dont understant whats the diference betwin -meta and the others, now that i've know all of that i'll do it for sure...

Glad you like it

Hi there. I would honestly like to upload this map to the "wTf Non-Icy Jump Zone". However, after running your map to my analysis tool, I see that you have modified some shader files that will potentially break textures in other maps:

Please don't corrupt other people's shader files and/or override shader paths, because it causes missing texture issues in other people's maps. If you have any specific questions come on wTf Mumble, I'm there every night.

really?

that i've noticed i didnt have cote any texture from other map, i did however use a similar shader based on other that was already done.
thx for the advice, ill change it, i'll do one on my own.

I really like this map so far. I'm on jump 8 right now and I can tell you that you could make it longer. You don't have to though, but I can easily overjump the last platforms with the speed I get. I'm gonna go check out the rest of the map right now though. So far jump 3 is my favorite. Some very original jumps here. Good job so far! I can't wait to see next release with different lighting.

thx,

well about jump distances i though on it but for me except the fact i like jumping, i use jump to improve my skills for shot maps, and in shot maps, even on ctf mode the important is not to be faster, the important is to controle your charater, know when should jump, where should wj, which pre u need, that sort of things.

but like u said that and if ppl thing its too easy or that i should make them long no problem, that could be fixed, so far i only have receved complements and tips about the map like lighting from delirium, corrupt shaders from rambetter and yours to enlarge the jump distance and that was i was looking for, this is my first map so its obvious that i couldn't do everything right at first time.

thx alot to all opinions and tips that i got so far and i've already started to fix some things, however the map is big and it could take a while

regards, linessa

Well there's some really good jumps in here as I've gotten a lot farther now. You don't have to change it like I said. I actually can control my jumps. It's just that I like to go extremely fast lol!

And in my opinion, jump 12 is too easy for that far into the map, but man I'm really liking these jumps. Very original and very good for your first map. Can't wait for b3 already!

It's definitely not a map for noobs. =)

[linessa (old)]

Thx

i cant wait for release b3 as well.

the 12 jump is not "hard" as the others, i thing that instead of get it bigger i could change something else like the platforms, put them on a place that is hard to get

regards, linessa

PS: oh and i forgot to say! there is a secret area hide somewhere

Linessa email/pm me and i'll fix your shaders if you want.

Also i can give you examples of shader lighting and anything else you think might be helpful.

Also if you could cut a version of the map that wasnt so big it would be useful. 40MB eats into downloads fairly quickly, and some servers with limited transfers per month may find it eats up to much.
