New Jailbreak Maps

Now that the mood is set, let's talk about adding some new maps to Jailbreak. I have tested all of these maps, and they all have several valid warday areas, several map games, and just feel like they would be fun to play on. Also, I'd like to request that we remove iPlay, Blaxx and the crappy electric_razor_beta2 map from the server rotation (unless the fixed version of electric_razor_beta2 is going to be put in).

It's a shame because all these maps look really nice but lack the ability to rebel.

 

Ba_jail_alyatis_v1_a has no vents and no guns.

 

ba_jail_outer_space has no cell vents? A single deagle spawns in a cell which has no walls to hide behind.

 

ba_jail_future_beta has a single vent which takes you to a scout in soccor, very easy to be killed by chasing CTs at the start of the round.

 

ba_jail_leoben could work but its very open with the glass walls

I've been checking out a really active Aussie server recently and they seem to know what they're doing, these are some of their maps and they have guns/vents in cells.

 

I really suggest someone goes through these and takes a look.

 

ba_jail_fa_abandon_v7

ba_jail_fg_los-angeles_v1

ba_jail_fg_skylight_v2 (this one is really like ba_jail_leoben without the open-ness and glass walls)

ba_jail_fg_uprise_b5

ba_jail_fg_wazza

ba_jail_leoben could work but its very open with the glass walls

has a vent in big cage (in the outside area) that leads to the armory, a vent that runs underneath soccer, and a secret area with a couple of guns inside library.

ba_jail_outer_space also has a vent in the greenhouse area which leads to the cell block, and a secret area in the cafeteria that has a pistol inside

ba_jail_future_beta has a vent in main cell block which has a deagle inside and leads to armory, and a vent in locker room that has a pistol inside of it.

 

I will admit these maps aren't the best for rebelling, but it isn't like they're impossible to rebel on. I feel that there is a good balance on most of these maps between the T's ability to rebel and the CT's ability to keep control of the T's. I'll also check out those other maps for sure.

Perhaps I am just being biased but if the Ts don't have an initial way to rebel in their cells at the start of a round it is VERY likely the CTs will keep things under nazi control. The rebel places you have mentioned will be one hit wonders, CTs will quickly learn to keep Ts away from these areas and it will get boring as bombs arn't even usable. In my experience people don't find maps interesting if you cant rebel at the start, its part of the game.

 

Also the maps I mentioned are hard to find so I've uploaded them:

Replying to watch this thread.

Well the first maps mentioned by Diabeetus look pretty good.

 

ba_jail_leoben was one we had before. It was pretty good, but as mentioned, clear glass walls make it a bit harder to rebel. Plus there's only what, one vent that leads to another open place, which from there you have to sneak to get to the armory.[back of armory had a vent into it I believe]

 

I have to run some errands so I'll finish up replying to this later when I get home.

+1 to Leoben definitely.

+1 to all of diabeetus's, didn't check segway's (yet)

If you think leoben should be brought back check out ba_jail_fg_skylight_v2 as its pretty much the same without glass walls and extra added vents. :)

 

I think a seperate thread is in order for the removal of certain maps suggested too.

I didn't take a good look at many of these maps, But PLEASE, PLEASE get rid of the shit-tastic razor beta.

I do have to agree with Segway, rebelling is a very important feature on a map.

Maps like parabelum and canyon dam are so well liked because of the ability to rebel without the use of vents, being able to quietly sneak off and acquire guns is something that keeps people interested in the server.

T-T xG now man, people only like maps for how easy it is to rebel, instead of how fun the games are.

I wouldn't say easy to rebel= good as much as being able to rebel.

I think making rebelling a challenge without needing 5+ hours on a map to learn all the spots is what makes it fun.

ba_jail_alyatis_v1_a I looked at, wasn't too thrilled for it.

 

Armory:

The armory consists of 10 AK-47s, 12 M4A1s, 32 Glocks, 24 Dual Elites, 40 Deagles, 6 Pump Shotguns, 8 Scouts, 1 AWP, 4 P90s, 4 Famas', and an HE grenade dispenser.

 

Cells:

There are 8 basic cells and 1 VIP cell. The cell button is outside the cell block, and doesn't re-close cells after being opened.

Problems I've seen are no grenades, weapons, or vents in any cell.

 

Big Cage:

Vent inside big cage takes 19 right clicks to open, from there, 5 right clicks gets you into the armory through the other end. Clear class makes rebelling hard. This seems to be the only vent.

 

Hidden spots:

Only hidden spots I could find were inside the library, but I'm unsure how to open them. First one is under the platform with the stairs. There's a 1-way glass room with 3 smoke grenades and 2 Five-Sevens with 70 bullets each. The second one is under the middle sofa. There's a Five-Seven with 30 ammo, a smoke grenade, and an HE grenade.

These I'm not sure how to open. Maybe @@Gkoo or @@snakeboyeric could load this into an editor and find buttons/triggers set to it?

 

Soccer:

Soccer doesn't appear to be death soccer but I can't currently tell in a single player mode. It doesn't move much when I knife it, but if I push it by walking into it, it moves. There's a reset button next to the pool for the soccer ball. There are 8 bombs with flags for pairing Ts on teams.

 

Pool:

Pool isn't too special, just a pool with a little circle bench in the center of it.

 

Spray Contest Wall:

Spray contest wall. Derp.

 

Knife Arena:

Just a little boxing arena probably for knife fights, 1v100, etc.

 

Basketball:

Basically, the same basketball used in ba_jail_blackops. Scoreboard, low gravity basketball court.

 

Disco:

Disco seems decent. There are only two songs for it. The songs for Disco are "I Need Your Love - Calvin Harris ft. Ellie Goulding", and "Get Lucky - Daft Punk" There's a nice lighting option that just dims the lights and has some other colorful lights spinning, ect.

Bathroom in disco isn't really special, there's a condom dispenser on the wall. The middle stall has what looks like a vent, but isn't. I'm not sure what its supposed to be.

 

Gun Toss/Shot4Shot:

There are two areas for Gun Toss and Shot4Shot. Next to the Gun Toss is a vent[with climbable wall] that leads to the room above disco entrance.

Jump Rope:

There's a jump rope like the one in jb_vipinthemix_v1_2 that teleports you to the small playground nearby if you lose.

 

Medic:

Basic medic building. Only the beds heal, so its not like the medic on ba_jail_blackops.

 

 

Will be posting for the next one, I'm tired as fuck and this is taking forever to do :l

[DarkWolf6052 0]

Okay I'm way too tired and probably gonna be too lazy to do the same thing I just posted again.

Check out the maps yourself and tell me if you think they look good. I already did one, everyone knows Leoben, so just need

ba_jail_future_beta and ba_jail_outer_space. I can already say while Outer Space has a few.. neat features[some weird laser gun turret thing], the textures on this map are so broken. The map looks purple from the missing textures and it's all shiny.

bumping plis add some maps if possible @@DarkWolf6052
