Topic: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

Yay, I've started on a new map! I wanted to try this idea I had for a race map. Right now it's just a rough layout test so the jumps aren't perfectly tweaked yet. I'm hoping for some constructive criticism on the overall difficulty level and perhaps some input on how I should tweak the various platforms. It's not meant to be particularly difficult. A noob should be able to get to the finish line fairly easily while still being somewhat challenging for the more skilled players.

Great map lade! I was having a run round it in single player and then some guy joined big_smile Forgot i had public 1. I did it in 42.4 second try. I really like the style. Would be great to see some of the good runners do it.

<kckzi> 36, is that the length of ur dick... in MILLIMETERS?

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

I'll try it when I get home <3

I'm a bit confused by the screenshot though?

K, I've done 33.7 I messed up and could have done 32. smile

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

33.580 coulda done much better. The way to do it is wj at the top of the ramp and then land on the jump pad. But every time i manage to do it i fuck up later.

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

ye was thinking that also but the ramp angle is bugged or something, im able to walljump and rampslide on it
would be good if these kind of things could be fixed in game

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

36.727 but I gave up after epic frustration. needs some good tweaking, I kept having to slow myself down :<

edit: Oops I forgot the picture lol

On the wall where i sprayed Red, i think it needs to be made so it cannot be walljumped on? I slide up the ramp to wj on the wall (where all the silly red dots are) but i always walljump off the side wall. makes me rawr.

Ignore the yellow area. Im too lazy to redo the MSPaint part.

Are those textures a Work-In-Progress?

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

Yeah Styleline I know about that issue. It's on the top of my to-do list for v0.2. smile There was a player on a server I played on earlier who had slowly made his way all the way up to that part, only to plumet towards the abyss when he atempted a walljump. He disconnected shortly after that. Poor guy. sad

That's an interesting trick on the ramp you guys are talking about. Care to send a demo showing it in action? I tried to reproduce it but my skillz are not as mad as they could be.
Alot of people seem to be concerned with not being able to maintain speed, especially in the first section of the map. Hopefully I'll be able to remedy that in the next version. I got some great beta testing when I ran into a server with my map running earlier today. Recorded some demos of player of various skill levels and I think I got some good material to disect in order to find the weak points in my layout.

I really appreciate everyones input on how to make this map as fun as possible. smile

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

the trick is, you rampslide, start holiding wj button, and as soon as you hit wall you turn 180 ( because of that walljump) and get the height ( normal ramp behavior)

try it in wdm1, slide the stair rail and walljump on that pillar kind of thing at wall

18

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

^ Then you hit the wall oppositing the pillar. Or do you mean it's possible to jump to that YA place like that? I only managed to do it with 320 speed.

Yeh, the problem with the ramp on this map is somethings bugged, you can wj off the ramp, but you can also slide up it. hmm

Make sure the ramp is exactly 45 degrees lade (1 unit across 1 up).

Move further to the left so you're not touching/close to the wall? tongue

The ramp is just temporary anyway so hopefully it will fix itself when I make it more permanent.

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

v0.2 Released! Check original post or my website for pk3 download and some screenshot action. smile
I didn't have time to attempt fixing everything I got feedback on (damn Spore taking all my time) but I got some things done. Enjoy.

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

This version is MUCH better!

I like the textures better now, and i can do a much faster run smile

My best atm is : 32.189

EDIT: Best : 30.307 smile

Re: lade-wswrace1 - [Beta]

I did 31.0xx seconds. Could have been 2 secs quicker if: I could do the wall/ramp jump thing to get to jump pad. The ramps are still buggy. Sometimes I can wj off them, sometimes I lose all speed on them. Maybe try making them less steep. I also lost a second cos at the end I fly over the checkpoint/finish brush or w/e. Could you make it taller?
