Jump IT / JuJump iT / Re: Scout + Force a nature maps?

« on: January 20, 2011, 05:28:31 PM »

I played some rocket jump levels and yeah they are pretty fun and challenging, but I'll probably make one more bigger FaN map just because theres a bunch of things i wanted to do but havent figured out yet such as moving obstacles and such. Also if you try my map (in OP) its actually pretty challenging, none of my friends finished it in a reasonable ammount of tries.

In other news, I start working on a rocket jump map today!

Thanks for the tutorial, I'll definitely be using buttons later on but since I started using hammer not 12 hours ago, I'm still a noob. I just have one question, they talk about 'tying entities' is this the same thing as making a brush and clicking toEntity? I come from unreal tournament mapping so I figured out most stuff but this confuses me.

Jump IT / JuJump iT / Scout + Force a nature maps?

EDIT: beforehand, this is probably in the wrong section, should be in the general general section, not the one I put it in lol.

Okay I was playing TF2 yesterday, jumping around as a scout and remembered the good old days of Unreal Tournament and its 'bunny track' game modes that consisted of complex jumping and obstacles. I remembered how I used to make BT maps, so I said 'hmmmm' and looked up how to make TF2 maps. Skip ahead 5 hours and I'm in hammer editor making various platforms and testing how high I can make the scout jump and how far he can go. 5 more hours and I found out there was a rocket jump game mode already popular, I googled and 3 seconds later I registered to this forum. 5 minutes later, I type this sentence and want to know, why only rocket jump levels? My first thought at skilled jumping would be the scout and his force a nature to triple jump. Anyway, in another few hours I'll post a prototype scout jump CTF level and you guys can be a scout and tell me what you think. Is it hard enough, stuff like that.

Also first thoughts on the forum: The captcha to sign up for this thing was the hardest captcha I've ever seen, I refreshed it at least 50 times, I thought it was gonna ban me. Also also, I've never actually tried jumping around as a solider, I'm gonna join the server and try it out! As you could guess I havent had TF2 for more than a few weeks, but I'm getting there!

EDIT: map is done, its my first map so textures are just random and nothing special:
