  1. Primary suggestions:

    • Make the map spacious. Nobody likes being hopelessly bombed every round.
    • No guns that spawn in the cells. Vents are okay (if you must), but no guns. Or, if you absolutely must spawn a gun in the cells, don't make it spawn in random cells; make it a specific cell each time.
    • Keep the number of map secrets (like secret places to rebel) minimal. Make them obvious so that the CTs have a chance to shoot rebelling Ts if they are paying attention.
    • If a T wins a map game, make it obvious as to which T won. This can be done with podiums.

     

    Secondary suggestions:

    • A sewer or some sort of pit that players can voluntarily jump into and commit suicide (like in Sunny City).
    • Add tracer grenades like the ones Desert has after you complete climb, or put them in hard-to-reach places for the Ts.
    • If you add a man-cannon, try to make it possible to shoot multiple people at once.
    • Add a buyzone in the armory (in addition to the guns that already spawn there).
    • Don't add a close button for the cells.
    • Add some J-Biebs to the map's disco selection.

     

    The map is just an experiment. The second map will be good because of the experience and knowledge we will gain. So expect the first one to be horrible and break all of these suggestions.

    Eric and I will combine them.

  4. To all the people saying it will be un-uniform.

    We will only use 1 texture (Grid), and when the map is being finalized, it shall be textured.

    We will also have a default theme, a default entrance/exit section for each of the sections, and a default area of each section.

     

    @@StartNow To the Minigames. That is what we are going for. The more the rooms with different games inside, the better.

     

    It's basically like a PotLuck.


  5. Seems to me we all have great creative minds. But none of us have the time or effort to finish a map.

     

    Let us start out with a Jailbreak map. Each one of us creates a small section/room of the map with the game or minigame of their choice. I will compile the different sections of the map into one map. From there we have a voting to see who will create the Main Cell block. (Based on the previous entries) Add that into the map. And we are good.

     

    Oh course this map will be unorganized, and sloppy. But we shall learn from our mistakes.

     

    Discuss.

     

     

    If this goes well, I will create a recruiting thread.


  6. Hello.

    Want a Jailbreak map to be edited? From annoying noises to bigger cell block areas to more games.

    I have some experience in Hammer. I'll edit the maps and fix/add reasonable stuff.

     

    I'd like you all list the maps and problems you have on the map. I'll compile a list and edit them.

    Please supply with the full map name.

     

     

     

    Map Problems:

     

    iPlay (FIXED)

    - Loud door noise

     

    jb_razor_redone

    - Auto closing cells

     

    carceris

    - Disco Music
