Hi

Some good jumps in this map, but I've also some complaints

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

t0 jump for me, I'm still not sure if intended is to triple or double sync the back wall, but anyway I couldn't do it (doesn't mean it not works but Idk)



I don't like the spacing of these speedshots, I luckily hit the second one trying to do a sync speedshot (because it feels it's spaced for a sync speedshot, but I'm kinda sure it's not the intended way) and I made it to the end but Idk, it feels wrong for me



The blue wall at the end is nonade unfortunately. Also I'm not exactly sure what the intended way between prefire blue wall, sync and being hit by the prefire or just do a great sync then x2 early and wallshot (not sure if it's clear lol).

Basically I'm not fan of speedshots levels, but that's up to me, others jumps were fine and some were really fun

Concerning jump order it's indeed a bit funky, I can't really give one since I can't do one jump (and the triple to wallsync I did not have the patience to do it but it's 100% doable) and one jump is t0 for the moment (unless you somehow setup a triple or ctap double is enough, but anyway it's not intended I think), but I'll probably retry it if you upload the map

The teleporters are shown as errors for me tho, and consider bsp_repack your map (either from CompilePal I guess, or directly from TF2, in console type bsp_repack maps/map_name.bsp maps/map_name.bsp (put your map in tf/maps) and you can save us some space

7: this spacing works well with a very specific speedshot, def harder than 8

10: the 2nd speedshot is at an inconsistent height to hit, making it higher and maybe a bit closer should make it feel better, the jump does work as is though, with just ss -> ss -> rampshot -> wallshot, or wallsync if ur slow enough.

11: not really sure what im supposed to do here, i beat the jump with a sync ss -> double -> ctap resync .

12: this jump is very easy, i would put it at 9.

[Klowwd]

Jump 7 (speedshot > wallsync) has been improved so that the speedshot is more consistent and the jump is easier.
jump 10 (speedshot > speedshot > rampshot > wallsync) has been improved so that the 2nd speedshot and the rest of the jump is closer
jump 11 (sync ss > prefire > sync wallshot) has had nogrenade removed from the wallshot area.

as for the order of the jumps, it's going to change once all the kinks in the other jumps have been worked out. As for repacking, the map size is less than 20k kb so I'm gonna leave it as is

[Klowwd]

Map updated to b7. All jumps are connected and in order of increasing difficulty/flashiness (mostly)

please play this map please i need to know if its good

[Klowwd]

Updated to b8. Hopefully now it's packed correctly

[Klowwd]

Sorry for constantly bumping this thread, updated to b9.
Added jump numbers
Lit up connectors
Nerfed jump 11
Actually packed the model

changes still to come: end cap, end cap room

[Elandi!!]

I see the model at the end but it has no textures, so purble checkerboard, would be nice to have a fast reset on some levels like last that take a while to fail, maybe side walls on last could reset you.

Don't be afraid to bump things king

[Klowwd]

Added timer and burgers. Should be the last update for a while

[Klowwd]

THE MAP IS FINISHED. Updated to final version (b0?)
Changed last entirely to make it more run-safe (no longer a double speedshot)

Ready to be added to tempus unless a major problem is found

The doors at spawn aren't teleporting me to the jumps, am I missing something or are they broken?

edit: there dont seem to be any working teles

I just checked, they dont work.
But they did in the version i downloaded and played like 3 days ago.
I smell a sneaky update which uses the same map name.


Since im here now, i have 2 things on my mind that annoy me a bit:
-Map could use some detailing
-I feel like the timer should start once you leave the start platform of jump1, not when teleporting to 1

Rest of the map felt fine

You are correct.

-Map could use some detailing
-I feel like the timer should start once you leave the start platform of jump1, not when teleporting to 1

Map intentionally left un-detailed. The theme was Benroads/retro styled jumps and those use very similar detailing
The timer is intentionally like that. I want players to know how long it took for them to beat the map without the timer restarting every time they fail level 1



BTW teles fixed
added some arrows near funny 9-10 connector
