Hi!
Great news, been working my ass of since 2 weeks back to get this map ready for all those "desperate" concers out there. Anyways, im glad to be able to post you some images from this map and i "hope" to be able to release it at the end of this week!

Yes, the map folows a theme as you can see on those screenshots. This map was also a experiment to learn how entitys work together and how to create nice effects. The end contains two trainstations with a train that goes between them and folows a track along the map. Every 2 minutes the train leaves the station.

Issues: Since the ambient_generic is bugged, i dont know if i will be able to make the train sounds work.

Screen1, Screen2, Screen3, Screen4, Screen5, Screen6, Screen7, Screen8, Screen9, Screen10, Screen11, Screen12

Bye!

Looks awsome!!, what can you tell us about the dificulty? im dying for playing a concmap!

Lt Llama · 10-02-2007, 08:44 PM

Can't say how much I enjoy this map, and I know how much work span put into it, being his first source map. He hit the conc top list a couple of months ago with 2 concmaps for TFC in the same style as Charybda, epic maps with themes, a very very very rare sight latelly (and i mean the latest 2-3 years).
So seeing this move to source is really great.

Havent seen these kinds of maps since Fisheye left

.

The map is medium hard and well balanced, and as in span's TFC maps there is an awsome end room.

And it will be on a conc server near you, quite soon

Sackratte · 10-02-2007, 08:53 PM

Yeah Span. you did a very good job! Enjoyed testing it. The jumps are not so hard and the map looks awesome. i really think all will love playing it

zSilver_Fox · 10-02-2007, 08:56 PM

That is just plain beautiful. I'm almost tempted to send you money in thanks :P.

Desyphur · 10-02-2007, 10:05 PM

Seems like a concy Portal like facility

Lt Llama · 10-03-2007, 04:24 PM

*bump* Think this belongs on the first page.

GhostBuster · 10-09-2007, 09:40 PM

In the last jump you have to get in to the first hole and press "s" while you are falling because there its a ramp that will push you foward but its not too big, then you will have to throw a conc under you to get into a roof with a radar and stuff.

ontopic: great map... i just wish it had a "big boss" jump.. i mean, the last jump should be a lot harder... but that`s just me.

public_slots_free · 10-09-2007, 09:42 PM

You can make it without the conc but I am sure it helps.

Yes i guess its possible, with the conc i went way too high.
Hey if you are a mapper and a concer too, you should consider making a hard-ass map.. like concmap_exist or something that goes beyond advanced skill.

public_slots_free · 10-09-2007, 09:54 PM

Thats already been done. I am working on a new kind of conc map. *wink*

i wonder...

Still, i mean all the concmaps released for ff that im aware off (adam, adam2, charybda and concmap5) are kinda easy for those who conc since tfc so i was wishing if someone could make an expert or advanced+ map.

Player · 10-09-2007, 10:04 PM

The jumps were too short and simple, but it was still a good map; well done!

EDIT: I hate the fact that anticonc has been enforced on all players; either open up another team for which concussion will be enabled, or make a button that, once pressed, applies anticonc to the individual player.

Hey can you upload a demo of this? Im trying to get by every jump with the less amount of concs possible but the last one with one conc... i just cant get a good boost with the ramp to get on the roof.

public_slots_free · 10-11-2007, 03:31 PM

Well, out of about 10 pushes, i have done it once. The first time it happened I was in noclip mode to see what to do. I turned off noclip and landed in the hole and it flew me to the roof across. After that, I tried a bunch of times and it would miss a lot. Overall I have landed in the hole about 20x and only made it to the roof once (not counting the noclip one). Maybe I just got lucky but I do not want to do that jump anymore! (lol) Half the time I fly into the building, the other half i teleport back to the beginning of the jump.

Also, I am at work now and I get limited play time so I would rather spend it mapping or playing the new games (portal, E2) then try and demo a map I have already beaten. I might get to it eventually though (assuming i can ever do it again).

span · 10-11-2007, 05:42 PM

Heh.. :P I have done this jump about 200 times during map creation, none of these times have i had any problems with teleports in that hole. I can on the other hand agree with your issue, and i know that at a cirtain angle you get teleported back.

I played this map most recent yesterday and could'nt get teleported back even tho i tried to. You must be doing the same misstake each time, aming for a buggy spot or something. Please, i'd like some new feedback if its possible and not only 100 precent focus on one bug at jump 11 thats actually not even a problem if you do it right, i can prove this by the fact that i hadn't even noticed this bug untill you started whining about it. :/

Again - Please, enough of jump 11, im very well aware of this now.
