Looks really good! Damn maps are getting created fast lately. Looks a bit greenish though in my view.

What I really like about this map is that it has a normal/plausible appearance. Most surf/conc/other skill maps usually aren't bordered off, have platforms floating in the middle of nowhere, use very basic texturing and lighting etc - I'm not saying that is bad, visuals is not what those maps focus on, and in maps like surf it's hardly possible to make the map look "normal". A skill map with a plausible appearance, like yours, is certainly unique, and certainly appeals to me. Keep up the good work.

See, this is how you do it. Not only do you make your jumps well designed, but you make the map look sorta nice as well.

Query: is your map going to be the nice "fail jump 4 and end up back at jump 4" map, or one of those maddingly frustrating "fail jump 4 and end up back at jump 1" maps?

every jump will have its own teleport. (except for multi-part jumps, which is usually a series of easy jumps stringed together)

I try to keep the annoyance level on my maps as low as possible. :P

Ace Nyronic but it really looks like another map, but maybe you can glue it together if it's some sort of theme or epic story to it.

The 3d skybox looks a little plain, maybe some other ruin there to?
How did you make the sea? Just a blue flat texture or a scaled water texture?
Not sure you can use the water texture in a 3d skybox, can you?

yea I was thinking of adding more ruins and stuff to the 3d skybox(I'm planning on adding more to the jump itself, I was just lazy), as for the "sea" thats just the 2d skybox in the background. I didn't even notice that until you just mentioned it lol. I can probably raise the hills in the background to kind of hide it since it looks a little weird, to me atleast.

Looks really nice, but as Llama said jump4 looks a completely different map. Maybe try sticking to one theme.

Jump 4 does fit the theme as nyronic clearly stated. He does set jumps with a port. Then changes to more jumps etc etc.

Map looks good... plays great. Tad easy so far though
I already piped jumps 1-4
Make sure to add some HARD jumps for us quadders. Or atleast make a non-quad jump that is 'difficult' for a concer, but VERY hard for demoman non-quad ;D

Great map though, keep up the good work! Best looking "skill map" so far!

New update and stuff...

Theres a new pic of 4 up, it should look a lot less plain now. I know it still doesn't fit the overall theme at all but its the only jump thats outside like that, basically the rest of the map is underground.

With LUA help from AltPluzF4 theres now a checkpoint system in place for the map. So if for some reason you die, get stuck, or go spec...or anything for that matter(except disconnect from the server) you can just respawn at the start and walk through a gate thing which will teleport you to the last jump you hit a checkpoint for.

A couple jump 5 screens are up too, I didn't feel like taking several screenshots of it because of its shape so I just took 2, one at the first fall and a sideways shot from noclipping outside the world so you can see what the jump is.

I wish people would stfu about the "overall theme". Most conc maps have the "theme" of HL1 textures and square walls. It looks great and you can bet your britches that there will not be very many people complaining about how jump 4 looks when they actually have a chance to play this map. Kudos.
