Yeah making it less steep will probably fix the problem. I don't think I want to make the finish brush taller. The idea is that you're supposed to land on the platform to finish so making it taller would kind of defy that logic.

I'm aware of that. Experimented with making the tubes out of brushes for a while but it was just too much work to be worth the trouble, and so far the curves haven't been an issue.

Too long? I was actually considering making it slightly longer for the last stretch just before the finish line. Guess I should reconsider.

I have released a new version. 0.3b \o/ I actually released it yesterday but I was pulled away before I had a chance to post about it here. I was very short on time this week so I didn't get much done. I tried to solve the ramp bug but at the angle it stopped acting up it looked completely out of place so I left it as it was. I did however make some significant changes to the first part again. I was aiming for a more fluid feel at high speed but I might have made it more difficult in the process, perhaps taking some of the fun out of it. Would love to hear some input.

Check my website for download, screens etc.

didnt make it to the end yet and i possibly never will cuz i cant figure out how to do some trix in the vertical tube...
anyway i'd suggest to make it impossible to hide under the podest where one starts, just for common sense, and also that you die when you fall down like in usual racemaps, so one doesnt have to press kill again and again... lava for example would give a cool look to the map btw or better green acid slime like being in the sewers of warsow city - i still like that concept .

The end steps in 0.2 were better than 0.3.

Also at the end instead of having to land on that central circle, you could make it like a pipe which you have to land inside, and the pipe could be like 128 units high. Then better players would be able to use the trick at the end (where you wj at the top of the last ramp) instead of over jumping the finish brush :<

nvm i made it, in 5+ min though D: after aproxematly 1 hour of trying
at first glance the jumppad isnt easy to recognice as such, could need a neater texture

Version zero point four is upon you! Check my website for download and some screens to look at while downloading. \o/

36 will be glad to hear that I finally solved the ramp bug. Well at least I think I have. You probably need a higher initial speed when hitting it now because of the decreased angle, but I managed to pull it off a few times while testing so it should work.

I also did something completely different for the final part. It's a little longer now so don't be surprised if your times are increased. But I think it feels much smoother now and it's also slightly more noob friendly.

33.232

The start sections are still a little to cramped for me (I overjump alot), and im a crap racer

I do exaggerate , its only 1 place where I overjump (cos of going to fast). Too compensate I just need to remember to slow down slightly/or take a slightly longer path. Its not a big problem.

Keep up the good work! my fav race map

Really nice work Ladelulaku! \:D/

im not a racer but i tried your map and its rly nice
but i donno how i should get from the first few pillars two the second few pillars
maybe someone can tell me how

v0.7 released! \o/

There is now instant-death green acid on the floor in the first part. I'd like some input on this, but I think I like it myself so it will probably stay. It also looks awesome.
I also removed the grating on the floor in the vertical tube. Falling down there also results in death so don't fall down there.

Some good news for the noobs out there is that I added some extra platforms to jump on in the first part. They should make it slightly easier for those of you not able to gain the speed required to pull off some of the jumps. These new platforms shouldn't change the way more experienced racers do their runs, they are mainly there to help the less skilled guys actually get to the finish line.

The pipes in the vertical tube also got some tweaking. I pulled them out from the wall a bit, rotated them to match up with the curved wall and for realism I added a mechanism for holding the pipes in place. Jumping on these pipes should be slightly easier now.
The main reason people fall down between these pipes however is when they move too fast. So if you find yourself frustrated by these things just calm down and do them one at a time.

Download, screenshots etc. can be found at my website as usual.

So wrong
