"non-standard" jumps
So, i just planned to make a map for myself and didn't really want to submit it at all ... BUT perhaps i want to submit it some time later when it turned out to be good enough, so i got some questions about what i can do in the map and what not.
1. ladders, ladders, ladders
I'm not planning to abuse ladders, but there could be quite a lot ladder and rope jumps (only if it turns out to be fun). Are lots of ladders a problem if i wanted to go for "official custom map" or even "kz_" ?
2. Surf
Well, that shouldn't be much of a problem, i'm gonna use it here and there (perhaps 10% of the map, max). Ok or not?
3. jetpack
Well, i totally love the half-life jetpack thingy. I'm not yet sure if it will be available for the whole map, or only in a specific part of it. I'm wondering though: it seems no one included it in any "official" map, is there a reason for this, or could i still go for "official custom map" or "kz_" with the jetpack?
4. "slope jumps"
Don't know what to call it, but made screen of some examples:CLICK ME
I'm going for some block style map (seems the easiest thing for starters) and i could use those "slope jumps" to overcome really big distances (perhaps between 2 higher parts of the map, with one lower part in between).

Thanks for any answers and hints, any help is really appreciated
1, 2, 4 seem good, but i think jetpack would ruin it :(
Also, 4 could be easier known as a "failed edgebug" ;)
Those "slope jumps" are really fun.
Mabye just me but I can't surf at all without aa100.
Good luck with it.

it isnt a EB AT all, nothing will look like it. Its just the fact you land on a slope with high speed, then when you tap duck, you get insane speed forwards. With 1 good strafe you can get really far!
thats why i said failed...
cos u land too high up the slope -_-
ok, thanks for the answers. So there really isn't anything wrong with any of those and my map wouldn't be denied just because it has the jetpack and stuff?
i think it will be denied if there are jetpack!
But that is just what i think :) .. GL with the map ;)
