Really like the idea with the last jump but you can just cheat it by jumping straight from the black.

maybe raise the ceiling on 8 above the surf ramp? i find myself hitting it sometimes

Beta 3 is ready to download!

@buhnanuh: I never had the problem of the ceiling being to low on jump #8. But that's only because I used to surf on the very bottom of the platform to get the speed for a perfect sync. Well, I slightly lowered the surfing platform and it feels a lot better now (at least to me).

Besides, Drexen's timer was added at the starting platform and the last jump. And I hope cheating jump #16 is not possible any more.

Have fun!

I think you need to change your download, I think this is a map you're working on

Oops, here is the right one:

I like the new spawn room but it would be grateful if you cover the stairs with playerclip like this

so you can walk up the stairs c:

I think this map is in a kinda final state now.

The only major thing changed is the playerclip at the stairs. I didn't know this trick before. Thanks!

Some cuts are kinda bad but whatever

I don't know what it is but the timing of 8 doesn't work for me.  I have yet to beat that jump.  The rockets just don't line up.

Wow, thanks for the nice showcase!

Hmm, I didn't expect that jump to cause such a headache. Well, the way I do it is to walk off, then rotate by 180 degrees (counter-clockwise) in such a way that I complete the rotation as I touch the green ramp.
To find out why the rockets don't line up, you can shoot 3 rockets at the same spot, followed by one at a different spot. If the last rocket explodes first, you were too fast - and vice versa. Maybe that helps.

Unfortunately I could not come up with a fix that would absolutely prevent cheating jump 13 without affecting the intended way or changing the geometry. So I extended the nogrenades to a point where cheating gets considerably harder while somewhat clean speedshots provide enough speed to reach the shootable wall with ease.

Visually, nothing has been changed.
