Mr. Darkness Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Hey guys!That's me, Mr. Darkness again and today I am going to show off my new project for surf server. Even tho, I didn't give it a certain name yet so for now it is Surf_scout (name of my fav. CSS wep <3).So yeah! The basics of this map are:-First you start with no weapons, but in front of you there is a big menu of almost all CSS weapons. Only USP + Glock and any other random group of weapons will be randomly unlocked every round.-To unlock M3, XM1014, Aug, Sg552; AWP, G3, sg550 groups you will need to find "special points" of the map for those and then return to spawn.-To exit your spawn room you will first need to get the weapons you like (from enabled ones) and then press the button on the left side (for Terrorists on the Right) to make a bullseye in front of your spawn move right to the center, so you have to shoot it, until the bullseye breaks. The wall that blocks you from going outside breaks and you can go out surfing.-The bottom of the map is ocean (also 3d skybox included) so you can fall down safely (but not safely stay at the jail :trollface: ).-The jail is some cylindric thing, where you appear with a few kind of houses, where you can hide (tho on top of the jail there is a button that activates car crushers, so better not stay inside).-You can escape from jail, but first you need to enter all the houses, and then after go in the last house with "exit" board on the door. This will lead to Top.The map is unfinished yet, It needs some bug fixes and a few additions.Well thats kinda it. Let me show you some screenshots now! :>1st pic (Older one) - Overview, missing a floating house and 1 surfing tramp.2nd pic - CT spawn, right the other room is T.3rd pic - same, just showing where the exit is.4th pic - Gettin' gunz.5th pic - (Same as above, just a different gun available)6th pic - Exit view for CT, left side.7th pic - same, but right side.8th pic - Overview with the floating house.9th pic - top (even if its below the Spawns )10th pic - Jail11th pic - inside of that floating house12th pic - Same, Blah Blah.13th pic - teh houses in jail14th pic - Exit.15th pic- YAAAAY, MY FIRST SURF MAP!EDIT: Last pic is just for fun, showing me saying "YAY THATS MY FIRST SURF MAP"!!! (Its veeery old ) Edited January 1, 2012 by Mr. Darkness Quote Link to comment
Nobana Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 No need for a new thread for one new map suggestion. You could've just posted this to the map thread and we would've tested it.Download link, please? Quote Link to comment
VMR Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The surf server definitely needs more maps.I'm concerned this one might be a bit too complex... Can you upload it somewhere, so we can test it? Quote Link to comment
Quert Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Just a question: Do players keep the weapon they've achieved the previous round? If not, they will never get full ammo (and not just a clip), which, IMO, is not a good thing, because I've noticed that the guns you pick up @ picture 4th and 5th you just get 8 / 0 (M3 shotgun) and 25 / 0 (scar) Quote Link to comment

You could've just posted this to the map thread and we would've tested it.Download link, please?That's the map by me, actually :/But still, I didn't finish it yet, I am on to finish it today.The surf server definitely needs more maps.I'm concerned this one might be a bit too complex... Can you upload it somewhere, so we can test it?Today, I'll upload.Just a question: Do players keep the weapon they've achieved the previous round?

You will have to return to spawn (or for M4A1/AK47 to top) to get a new weapon. That's the point of it. Also the map is not that big.New pics anyway, the uploading of the map and video will be today.The first 5 pics are showing what to do when you are at spawn (I'll need to light it up a bit more, since it's too dark there).Added and fixed:Secrets :>The cross on the jail is now rotating, so you must give a shot on jumping on that rotating cross (rotates quite fast, but I experienced jumping on it ) if you wanna kill/let the prisoners out.There are 2 buttons at the centre of the cross - red and green (1 from 1 side, the other - from the other side).Every house has a button inside it. Press every button to open the exit door, but dont get smashed by the ceiling of those houses! (pressing red button on the top of the rotating cross).Added 2 more surfing ramps, which will speed you up.Also, forgot to add:Now, on the very new round you will unlock only USP and Glock. The next round will probably be "Deagle group" (elites, 5-7, p228, deagle) + Smg/scout/M3 group (m3, xm1014, aug, sg552). Edited January 2, 2012 by Mr. Darkness Quote Link to comment

Mr. Darkness Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) OK GUYS,the download is ready. The map with some fixes is gonna be downloadable.The map is now called "surf_measuresurf" (since the most part of textures is dev_measuregeneric).Download!Link: http://filesmelt.com...measuresurf.rar (the link is here, its just white ^ for some reason) Edited January 3, 2012 by Mr. Darkness Quote Link to comment
VMR Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Too hard to get out of spawn (What is that all about?)Why the water outside spawn?You're not given ammo for the gunsEverything is a tad too bigTook me 4 minutes to get out of spawn, then I died right after from falling down at the jail, then spent another 3 minutes trying to get out of spawn before I ragequitSo, sorry, but I do not approve of this map Edited January 3, 2012 by VMR Quote Link to comment

Mr. Darkness Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) There we go, a demo vid here.EDIT: Turn off the sound, I didnt mention that my mic was on that time Edited January 4, 2012 by Mr. Darkness Quote Link to comment
VMR Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 What I'd like to see is a spawn that looks more like surf_greatriver's (v4) and with surf_superk's weapon system instead of the one you currently use. Only pistols in spawn, no gun spawns, and you need to surf well to get various weapons.I'd like for the surfing ramps to be a bit smaller, and more "connected" to each other. If you're going to put them far away, you need to make it obvious for the person surfing where to go, and easy to get there, and maybe add some places that will be very hard to get to and require good mastering of the maps and speed boosters to get to.

Nobana Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 It seems I havent installed CSS after installing Windows. Testing delayed until tomorrow. Quote Link to comment

I'll do a different version of the map in that case.But still, would it be fun at the server? Edited January 4, 2012 by Mr. Darkness Quote Link to comment
Quert Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 What? surf_measuresurf? ain't that a little weird name? Quote Link to comment

Only 4 textures are different. Everything else is dev_measuregeneric Edited January 5, 2012 by Mr. Darkness Quote Link to comment
