communitybhop - map uploaded
13/04/2013 21:18XJ for the win.. hahaha
14/04/2013 12:51page 9 made my day.
same a few years ago with wolfenstein, gave him proper feedback the same which i had written for the mapcheck team and then he shuts the connection down...
its a shame how is now treating mapping legends like: s0liD rad0n Moxx ganien kimo for not keep it going
since they are mostly inactive in mapping kz but they took/take the time to contribute a part to a map.
14/04/2013 13:18If u ask me, map subimiting method should be changed and people who don't know what kind of effort you have to put into a map shouldn't have the right to say yes or no - also this thing with the votes from users sucks, seriously i don't know who made up those rules but they are ridiculous - map checking should be done by 1 - 2 guys max. From the map team ofc.

If this had happened to someone you like/keep in touch with you'll be defending him until the end, but since, I guess, hm^ is not one of your best mates (I do not know your relationship) you start talking shit about him, his work and maps.
Like qui said there:
[blockquote]- 30-50% of the bhop parts should be slightly balanced. because you're the mapper, you're the one responsible for balance and quality, not those 40. [/blockquote]
Although it is named communitybhop, it is still not an official project which is held by hm^ so I don't see what's the problem. Of course he will not be pleased with the fact that from about 70000 active users only 3 (0,004%!!) took their time to make a map, just to keep this community alive and they can't even say "okay, 3rd place is for you" but rather than that they went basically "this sucks, you don't even deserve a place, but sure thing, thank you for participating". I just do not think XJ can affort this at this particular time, taking the current activity.
Anyway, I do hope hm^ to change his mind and continue this and finish it, because sure thing it is a nice project
14/04/2013 22:30Sad to see this awesome project end like this.
This project was made for the community, to get some activity going. hm^ took a rather respectable amount of work to accomplish this, but really got slapped in the face by that decision about his contest entry.
Its like Nikolaa said already, by that amount of participants, he should have deserved a 3rd place at least imo. To completly dismiss a map, shouldnt really happen at all at a mapping contest as long it dosnt provide offensive content or something.
Judging by the community reaction, it has been a really unfortunate decission. It caused drama and killed a sweat community project. Could have been avoided easily.
Anyway, hm^ is a pretty cool dude and he will probably get back on it again. Also the admins trying to be as fair as possible and working hard to keep this thing going, its just been one of those things, that tend to happen. Lets all get over it, and keep it moving :)
21/04/2013 12:00haha , wtf anyways i liked the map the way it is and fu.. the rest . good job bro .
i can understand you demolite, but i can understand hm point too.
It`s bad to let this legendary mappers down, but for the community it is worst to shut down the active mappers, denying a nice map for no reason with so few participants.
w/e , i support hm decision even though I submitted a bhoppart and wont be used anymore. I really think xj need to change something about "how to accept new maps" and the xj users need to help more on the public mapcheck area aswell.The xj staff isnt the only problem.
30/06/2013 23:55Final BETA online!
One week time for testing.

http://postimg.org/image/q7awc7ye9/ KarLi's block ,you still can stay on bhop block...first block
http://postimg.org/image/3y1kjesbl/ Is a null there,at the final of this stage with brown texture:P
http://postimg.org/image/7vou8tf4x/ If you can grab the teleporter lower would be great:)
Nice to see you around here again:D
01/07/2013 05:14(edited 01/07/2013 05:15)ye there is a null bug on my block just like spider1 said.. also correct CHINCHIN's name, he actually is CHICHIN
so i added this map to our Bhop server today and called a bunch of guys to play it. As i said be4 i like racerun, it's very entertaining but there are quite a few guys complaining about it. and some of them even said they hate this map lol. that's very pathetic of them. i just dont know how come today's most players dont love those great new maps like this communitybhop or a2_blockrunner, kz_kzsca_bastion, kz_kzro_communityblock, etc.
however, still some guys had fun much, tried nocheck and with weapons, here is the top15 page

01/07/2013 12:42awesome job guys
Quiting this project wasn't good idea since it messed up mappers activity, besides that, as demolite said it's shame how legendary mappers got treated but w/e. Nikolaaa wrote one pretty good post and i agree with his opinion... Anyway i'm glad to see he decided to finish this project.
I'm looking forward.
03/07/2013 15:20it became cooler! map became with more light and etc. nice one
03/07/2013 15:41All bugs fixed until now.
Thanks for the replies.
4 days to go for BETA-Test.
good luck mate this was and still is great map
06/07/2013 02:52Good lck hm ! awesome mapping.
Tried it for about 20 min. One thing that kept annoying me was the freaking sun outside making it almost impossible to see in the dark spots of the map (hope it won't feel that way when the sun is gone)
- The beginning is pretty cool with the towers and stuff (though it reminds me a lot of the kzsca communityblock)
- The "Bhoppart by" text looks really buggy and blury, the font is nice tho, but it looks bad imo
- Can't see the jumpoff on Pieshels's part (probably cause of the sun)
- Don't like the blocks that goes up and down all the time
- No offence to anyone, but some of the parts are very basic
- The theme outside after the stairs is really nice!
- The teleport thingy after Phinx's part could have been more shiny, like for example the color inside the circle of it was beaming or at least a little more "alive"
- The big UFO/Mothership(?) is awesome!
- The alien'ish hallway with the blue stuff on the ground after the boost is really cool, but the boxes don't fit in at all imo
- Don't really like the banisters(?)
- The colors from Daza's part to Twixa's part is really nice!
- The cave after that is also nicely made and fits well to the rest of the theme + the music in the cave is creepy and cool
- Now to these run things..They look really nice and it's a fun little break from all the bhoping, but when it gets to the part where you have to duck and jump over the obstacles it just get annoying and frustrating >_< So the switches from side to side are fun and cool, the rest is not fun at all.
After you have finished the first of these "alienruns", you suddenly find yourself in a ruins theme, hmm..
I actually like it somehow, maybe it's the colors that does it for me, because going from an alien theme to a ruins theme with that of a big color contrast and such is kind of a bald move, but ye it somehow fits for me.
- And finally all the names going around at the end is creative and clever :)
What I also REALLY like is that it actually looks like XJ is going to release a map WITHOUT A MAP DESTROYING SHORTCUT! And they probably don't have to fix one either, which they also almost never do anymore (londonstation)
06/07/2013 19:02balance is good imo. Would call this map average. Flash part all blocks are going down. Looks kinda strange ..:d maybe only the platform should move not the whole arc? Blakes part he second bhop near wall is really bugged. The wall seems to cause the wall bugs so u can easily make a random wall fail:D but really great map! hope to see it finished!
07/07/2013 15:10(edited 07/07/2013 15:55)So,
BETA-Test closed!
Final compile done and i hope all bugs and suggestions are fixed.
Map uploaded.
