jump_undergrowth
short t3 soldier speedrun map, I made strats for every level so the majority of the map can be done barely stopping.
current version is b7 - download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e4lzy4b67vscmqq/jump_undergrowth_b7.rar?dl=0
It is likely that this is not the final version. I would really appreciate any feedback so I can make the map better.
Updated, this is probably going to be the final version unless a major problem is found: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yj9ei10bmzf5bba/jump_undergrowth.rar?dl=0
changes from b7 to final version:

• Made indoors areas brighter. I had a lot of feedback saying that it was not too dark, but some people complained it was way too dark. I made an effort to make it brighter in general, but if you still think it's too dark, I can't really change it much more since darkness is part of the theme of the map.
• Slanted the roof of the water tunnel on level 4 - might make speedrunning easier.
• Added ramps to the cave before level 9 to make speedrunning easier.
• Added some playerclips around the map.
• Added teles to the underneath of the displacements on level 6 so it's less obvious that you fall through them 
• Added cubemaps
• Fixed various small bugs

epic map frien,   !
a few notes

Worth reading

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You probably know already but the first sync level in the cave you can fall through most of the hills and won't be teled until you hit the water. This isn't really gameplay but whatever.

I think you should move the tele for this level back a little bit to reduce telehop looping and to prevent retards from pressing spacebar too late when doing catch strat. Unrelated note, I found the catch strat on this level pretty difficult. Maybe I'm just bad but this level seemed a fair bit harder than everything else in map, strats (that I know of) included. My spray is where tele is atm.

Aggressive clip brushing on last.

Missing teles behind these ramps on last

Maybe have a ramped/raised roof here? w/e

IMO make these walls more easy to surf. Would suck to be thrown up or stopped midrun.

Arguably worth reading

Maybe make this a bit more angled so you can surf it? I'm not even sure if you can get this high from water shot but ye up to you. Might help runners at some point.

Aggressive clip brush prevents epic displacement surfing and trickjumps

wtf str literally no one cares

On the u-turn wallshot level you can get into the trees area by going through the gaps in the glass by the corners.

Water level too low in the last cave just before pretty blue end tele.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Water level too low here also. This is in the connector between 1st cave sync level and outside temple speedpogo thing.

seemed a bit dark in places. I like the map otherwise

[generic]

I agree with chuck. I think the undergound sections stood out as a bit to dark for my taste (like the triple). Neato map though. Also offline syncs are t7

thanks for feedback so far everyone. new version coming up soonish

Damn 169MB You should really compress yer maps before you upload them. I know I'm very late in saying that but really.

Either in the command console drag and drop bspzip.exe from yer bin folder into it then add -repack -compress then drag and drop yer map into the window.

Or create a .bat file and put the following in it.

Code: [Select]

"bspzip.exe" -repack -compress %1
Or download the .bat file I included then put it in the same bin folder that has all yer mapping tools that you use.
This will let you just drag and drop yer completed map onto the bat file to compress it.

That will reduce yer map file size by over 50% from 169mb to about 65mb.
