Jump Jam
2022 2023 2024 is finally happening wow
This years Jam will begin on Friday May 31st to Sunday June 9th
What is this?The main idea behind this event is to get people who either haven't mapped before, fail to finish maps due to motivation, or anyone with ideas waiting for that reason to open hammer again, to sit down over several days and just make some form of a jump map. Maps will be judged at the end of the event, and constructive criticism is given to help mappers improve their work! This can be a good opportunity to get yourself making the levels you've always wanted, and get some playtesting along with it.
If you want to participate as a mapper:Join the discord group, where you can talk to other participants, ask questions about the event, or get assistance on your mapping projects!
https://discord.gg/K9guFDPv9gRules and guidelines- Must start a new/blank map (i.e. blank .vmf file). If you choose to work on partially done/abandoned projects, or are using another map as a large basis for your project (jump_beef_h for example), we will consider this map in the 'miscellaneous' category. Collab maps will also be put in another category.
- Submitted map should be in .bsp format, i.e. properly compiled. If custom textures are used make sure it is packed. Also make sure it runs in-game and doesn't crash, for example "engine hunk overflow" errors, etc.
- The map should have working health and ammo regen (func_regenerate where applicable, and trigger_hurt/tick regen), working teleports and no significant errors like massive leaks.
- Maps can be made for TF2 or Momentum Mod
- If you want to get your map zoned on Tempus please follow the new map standards/guidelines:
https://jump.tf/forum/index.php?topic=3476.0- You can start anytime on May 31st and submit your map in the discord anytime before the end of June 9th (submit maps in the discord channel named #2024 Submissions)
Judging Judging this year will will be done by a panel of highly talented individuals that are TBD (dm if u want to judge). Judging is meant to be taken lightly and just for fun/provide feedback to mappers. There will be a community favorite vote for each category after jam concludes. The judging form will also be public so feel free to do your own unofficial judging.
Looking forward to seeing you in the discord, and happy mapping!
