Edit: Released the map over here

--------

So for the past week or so, I've been remaking Ring2 (jump_ring2_a5) because I think it's a pretty decent demo map, but it has no lighting which I really hate.  Plus there's a few minor tweaks that I thought it could use.  I have some questions I want to ask first though before I release it...

  • First, do you think I should even release it?  It's not my map, so maybe I shouldn't.  Is Ring still around?

  • Should I change the name to jump_ring2_a6 or what?

  • Bug or not?  Jump 16 has a trigger hurt that damages you (5 hit points per sec, I think) at the very end of the jump near the landing platform, and Jump 18 also has this in the middle of the jump but there's regen in the same area.  Here are the console commands to teleport to the jumps of you want to check:

    Jump 16: setpos -2944.000000 7680.000000 324.031311;setang 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000  ...or dest_mike02 in the decompiled VMF
    Jump 18: setpos 4755.811035 5764.403809 1092.031372;setang 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000 ... or dest_16 in the decompiled VMF

  • And last, are there any bugs/exploits you know of that should be fixed, or are there any changes you think should be made?

Here's a simple screenshot to give you an idea of the lighting and textures.  I went with pretty typical jump map "dev" textures...similar to jump_koi and jump_4starters...

Well yeah, you should probably ask the original map maker if he is okay with it before releasing alterations of his work.

That said, I would love to see some of the old fullbright maps with proper lighting  :-*.

Thanks...I appreciate you/your fiend contacting him.  I'll edit the original post with a download link for testing.
