Soul run progress thread

[Naigel]

I hereby present to you Soul run, a map which not involve shooting down aliens or grunts. No, this map is about bunnyhop with a (speed)twitch. There is not really an objective, the map is more eyecandy and fast speed bunnyhopping. With help of some trigger_push entities you are able to gain more speed, combine these with a bunnyhop and you'll be racing throughout the track. The spawnbuilding includes camera's to view different parts of the track, medkit machines to heal yourself if you are damaged and another room which will contain something really special (I'll tell you what as soon as I figure out what myself :rolleyes: ). The map is close to done, but keep in mind that I mean compile ready. The map will be spiced up even more if everything goes according to plan. Anyway, enough with words, here's a screenshot of an alpha version.

In case you are wondering why it's called Soul run... it's named after Souleh who was actually the reason I started this map and kept me going.

Look's nice what game btw, mentioning killing grunts etc I would imagine Sven?

Give us a shout when its ready and ill shove it on the server.

[Naigel]

Yep, Svenco-op, as I got the idea from a surf map made for Svenco-op. I was surfing and then when I got off I noticed I could bunnyhop with extreme speeds. I figured I could imitate the speed you get when getting off a surframp with a trigger_push.

Sound vy nice & the screenshot looks awsome. U Should also do a little area where bunnyhop beginners are able to train. With an Tutorial "How to bunnyhop". And some little secrets ;)

[BadGirlDefender]

lol, and the pro circuit - bunnyhopping across from one pillar to another, if ur timings not right...sploosh into lava :D

[SK]

What is the trigger_push entity normally used for?

[TheDevil]

SK: Valve-ERC Trigger_Push (http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?ent=trigger_push)

It looks like a "jump start" kinda thing :p dunno, never used it my self :p

[Naigel]

Very good idea, maDDin, never thought of that.
BadGirlDefender, I might do that next map depending on how succesfull (or not) this map is.
SK, it can be used for lots of stuff, in this case I used it to 'boost' someone forward. But it can also be used for faking gravity, faking a conveyor, faking wind, etc.
TheDevil, yeah, as I said in this case it's a 'boost'. I have marked the boost areas with warning stripes on the ground.
Also, the last room now has windows and looks down onto the track, you can see people appearing from below you and disappearing in a nearby tunnel.

[SK]

Aye your last secrets were good, I enjoyed dancing away to "Ferry Corsten - Punk" :D
