kz_xj_communtyblock, listen to the community!
30/10/2008 00:19(edited 01/11/2008 21:31)Hello people,
Yes, me and moxx made a mistake of releasing this map so quick. But its not all negative! I tought I had a nice and good looking map. And I was so proud that I made the map with 49 blocks in it. And maby I was a little to proud, because I only could show the map to 2/3 people. And I just wanted to release the map. Bad thing, but also good! Because now I can make this post, and ask the community for ideas, suggestions, bug screenshots and stuff like that!
This thread is made as a "changelog". Still, there wont be any sneak peaks, screenshots or whatever. You only see text, if things are fixed and the status. When the final map will get released. It will be top notch.
In this topic I dont want to hear critics. I'm already barried alive under the critics comments. That good, but sometimes it need to stop.
So what do I want from you? I want to see all the bugs screenshots. Blocks in general that are just to hard. Suggestions and ideas (not about textures). I only want to hear stuff that will do this map good. So hoppefully you guys can get this thread clean!

Planning todo:
x Remapping the map from scratch (layout will be the same)
x Looking for new fitting textures, I have contacted a texture artist
x Replace the signs to text that I will create (Shizuka's idea)
ps1; Also if the bugs or hard jumps/blocks are already posted in other topics. Please post them again! Thanks!
ps2; I wont adjust any of the hard blocks. I will contact the mapper who made a to hard block. They need to redo there block, or make a new one. If they dont, the block will get removed.

30/10/2008 00:37@ lalle, there wont be 2 maps, or a ez and hard version. Blocks/jumps will get fixed, or removed.
@ FragMcCracken, added
Can you make it less easier to die if you fall off the block above? Like the block with the LJ in it if you accidentally fall off the side to the block below your chances of living are slim and it sucks to die like that. HP machine maybe? Some inivis walls to get rid of big s/c's if there are any.
30/10/2008 00:50Please post screenshots, that will help me even more!

Which jump are you talking about? I don't remember any jump to a ladder that was hard or that you couldnt do no matter if you are a left or rightstrafer.
Good thing that you wont be splitting it. The lenght of the map is what makes it fun imo. The pure challenge of just having the patience to complete it is what appeals to me the most. Balancing the difficulty is good to some extent i guess, but dont change too much. I don't care if some parts are überhard and some easy, to me the map is more of an experience than a course designed to be completed as fast as possible. It's more like art. Btw i would be happy if you could correct my name in the end credits :D
make it like kz_xj_3ways.. ez med hard!

Jump through the middle, not around, lol.

Never ever use invis walls, there is nothing worse :/
30/10/2008 02:30(edited 30/10/2008 02:32)I actually didnt mind the textures on the walls and floors, only thing that bothered me in textures was the one used for the actual jumps. those black lines were really out of place.
the map could use a health block, just edit the original one to only one button and door to reduce entities. removing the bhops would allow those health block entities right there.
the 'map by:' textures could be redone at a smaller size like 128x64 to reduce texture usage too.

Wrong move...
Get testers for it. Let them test every singleblock, after that they should rate the block and then make a new block order to change the unbalanced challenge.
Which goes from easy to hard.
an idea to reduce texture:
there is 49 parts in it, so 49 personnal texture.
Why don't you use 26 texture (a-z) and write mapper's name with it then you will use more texture for the whole map.
i think the strafe jump on hybrids block is waaaay to hard.
