Surfing?

[Damascus]

Is there any way to make surfing maps for FF? Just recently, I got interested in surfing

[Dr.Satan]

oh please god somebody say no!

Sadly though I have surfed in tfc...I'm sure you can in FF...

[Jester]

I've made a few jumps for my own FF surf map actually. Heres the base_surf.lua I created based off of the conc LUA:

-- Allows for freestyle or racing.
-- No damage from anything and explosions won't move players.
-- Air accelerate always at 100.
-- All grenades, buildables, and spammable ammo removed at spawn.

-- base_surf.lua - Created By: Jester
-- Version 1.0b

---------------------------------
-- DEFAULTS (CHANGEABLE)
---------------------------------

-- Freestyle / Race modes.
SURF_MODE = SURF_FREESTYLE

-- Race Restart Delay
RESTART_DELAY = 10

-- Points and Frags you receive for touching EndZone.
SURF_POINTS = 110
SURF_FRAGS = 10

-- Disable/Enable classes allowed.
SCOUT = 0
SNIPER = 0
SOLDIER = 0
DEMOMAN = 0
MEDIC = 0
HWGUY = 0
PYRO = 0
SPY = 1
ENGINEER = 0
CIVILIAN = 0

-- Disable/Enable Invunerability
INVUL = 1

	ApplyToPlayer( player, { AT.kRemovePacks, AT.kRemoveProjectiles, AT.kRespawnPlayers, AT.kRemoveBuildables, AT.kRemoveRagdolls, AT.kStopPrimedGrens })
end

Include that in your map's LUA and you should be able to surf just fine.

You can adapt that tutorial to make a surf map for FF. Surfing is popular in CS:S, so it's just as possible here.

Oh dear lord no. Please, any other game.. fine with me, but PLEASE save FF from this crap.

[Jester]

This is not a thread asking if you want surfing to be around, it's asking how to make the maps.
