rofl would own hard core then make it so you jump outta the level that WOULD ROCK

[lekky]

booster ramps would be cool, but not out of the level, that would get annoying fast.

all right, i'm thinking trigger_push entities for this one... so a few barrels should have ramps only, right?
and maybe make some invisible walls so you don't fly outta the level 


[edit] ok it's done. booster ramps are now launching off barrels. theres even something that can bounce you back into the level if you accidentally fly out. i will attach a screenshot... although the lighted version is still compiling, this will give you an idea of what i made.

[edit again]
the lighted version is done compiling, so here it is. it has lighted booster ramps, and i think they look really cool. also, something seems to be wrong with the sky, i'm not sure what, i know the brush is set to the 'sky' flag, but whatever, it's not a big deal.

Pretty.

ok, if you downloaded the map earlier, you should delete it. there is a bug with the sky, that will end up looking like this. i fixed the bug and am recompiling, should be done in about 20 mins or so.

a couple boosters going the other direction would be cool too, so you can colide in midair  =D

[medley crew 2]

i thought about that, but i decided i want to keep the action flowing in one direction, like a real racetrack.

Fantastic, when can we beta test it on ev1?

[Eiii]

What's there to beta test? It's a racetrack. Everyone spawns in the same area. I'd stay away from actually putting this on a serious server.

aight here's the new download, sky glitch fixed

Whats there to beta test? Well I would like to test the 'race track' with other players on a good server, ev1 beta. To see how it plays. Then make suggestions on any improvements. If its fun enough I would like it loaded on EV1 Loial's. Not on rotation per say but just as novelty to be loaded once in a while. 


*Edit
Super I will download it at home!!! Jitspoe, can you suggest a way I can get this loaded on to a decent server so that I can play around in it with some people on vent. All are invited.

This map is very biased toward purple.  Purple starts closer to the flag and the red base capture point is closer.  Also, having the capture points in the rooms like that -- people will just camp them and kill the carrier, then get the flag without even having to go around the track.

Also, you really need to work on your brush and texture alignment.  Use the grid.

the ramps look dumb as hell with the light textures. use a metal texture or something

[Spook]

its getting better though i was fooling around earlier

[jitspoe]

I put it up on the beta server if you guys want to play around on it.  Be sure to put the map in your pball/maps/beta directory.

[loial21]

Roger and thanks. I will be there in an hour or two (at work) with the crew from vent (not just GT)

i like the light textures, the ramps stand out more when they're lighted  maybe i will change the texts though, if you really think it's that bad.

i'm not gonna change the map tonight, since i'm going on vacation tommorow, but i'll be back on saturday, probably make some changes then, like a better place to cap the flag, and even out purple and red... no clue how i'm gonna do that though, and apply (some of) the ramps like normal ramps (i still like the jump pads, they make you go higher , i'll probably change the texture for the normal ramps.), and maybe make little speed patches on the track. i tried doing that earlier, but they always made me go the opposite direction they were supposed to...
