Changes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

updated the grid texture
made timer work like what it do on the tempus's
changed all numbers to props
reduced brush count by ~1000 (was ~2800, now ~1800)
made the start and end platforms of all jumps 128 units longer
added overheal on the triple so you guys can stop bitching about you not wearing gunboats. I will never make a map where you need to use a shotgun in the middle of a jump
made the teleports at the end of the jumps 1 unit taller than the door
replaced "slippery" glass texture with non-slippery glass texture (technically it's metal now)
made 17 easier to bounce, smash head into ceiling (distance between bounce platform and ceiling is 834 units), you do not NEED to bounce though, sync catch/skip/pogo still works
blocked base jumper and air strike
I was going to make it more demo friendly but then I just said fuck it, you can do it as demo currently anyway
updated none of the lighting
changed none of the jumps significantly
didn't add HDR
probably something else

Due to these changes all times on tempus should probably be wiped. Although the differences in times would be a second or two at most.

Rob, please use the triggers I have in the map for the tempus timer (whenever it comes back up). The timer stops after going through the last door.


Old stuff

I made another map.
This one is more conventional than my last one.
I modified Drexen's timer to fit this map better.
I was inspired by both jump_void and surf_it_omnific to make this map and I'm quite pleased with the way it came out.
If I'm honest some of the jumps are pretty bad but they all look amazing which is more of what I wanted.

This map was made in under 30 hours over the course of 3 days.

This is the final and only release.
18 jumps + 1 bonus.
Easy/Intermediate difficulty.
Should be safe for all servers.

Also I will be doing the same thing that Obsidiian did and make a demo map with the exact same aesthetic.

Special thanks to JoinedSenses for the video!

Very nice smooth looking map

[Dr. Heinz]

I really enjoyed playing the map. And it looks really great. Good job.

You double and triple feel really weird. The timings are too close I think, no room for error.
On the triple skip into a water double, I would like to see the ceiling in an angle, so you will get pushed to the end platform. Now the jump is hard just because of the ceiling.
Some spacings feel off. Mainly the ending platforms. Most of the time they feel really close.
Other jumps are great.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
The map had one error in it and I have since fixed it if you have already downloaded it please redownload the newer version.

bounces? why

[RNC1839]

bounces? why

None of them are bounces.
If you mean 17, it's a syncpogo/catch to wallclimb. Although you can sync bounce it and skip the wallclimb entirely.

It should be noted that clients won't redownload files that they've already downloaded from servers. In our particular case, I'm fairly certain that we shipped the old version that may have already been downloaded by clients, so that'll lead to "map differs" errors for any clients trying to play with any other version. You're going to want to rename the map for the newer version of the map.

Looks neat. Can't wait to try it out. Double-catches make me sad though

While I agree that's a smart idea, anyone that knows how to put a map in the right folder knows how to fix the differing map error.

bounces? why

I also feel I should add that bounces are one of the 4.5 things I will never add to a map.

1. bounces
2. edgebugs
3. pogo mazes
4. airvents
4.5. quints

The reason a quint is the half is because I will only add one if I can be creative with it. Regular quints are bitchy and boring imo.

[BQE]

telequint imo

[RNC1839]

telequint imo

That's basically what it would have to be.

I don't think you understand.

We had uploaded the old version of your map onto our server. At this point in time there's an unknown amount of clients (I simply know that it is >0) that have downloaded the old version from our fastdl.

Now that you've released a new version of the map with the same name, if any server operator installs the new version on their server and then a client that had previously downloaded our old version of the map attempts to join the server, they won't be allowed to connect.

The average TF2 player does not understand how to delete maps or otherwise update them manually, nor are many going to bother to do this.

Whether or not you rename the map after heeding this advice doesn't particularly matter to me. I'll simply rename your map to something such as "_fixed" myself. I'm simply giving you the heads up that you should not release updated versions of maps with the same file name.
