5 New Maps

By PsYxOpAt mapper·
77... days since the last map release did happen. We are sorry for the delay and from now on we are trying to release the new maps on a monthly base again.

Today, we are proud to present 5 new maps:

kzsca_valley by hm^





Quiet a few people voted for this custom map made by hm^. The map is based on a nice looking valley. You start at the bottom of a canyon and while you make your way to the top, you will discover lots of possible combos in the map. It is almost possible to jumpsthe whole map in one breath! The atmosphere of the map is really nice and gives the player the feeling that he is actually climbing up a real valley. The jumps are enjoyable, too, and if you like small speed maps, this might be your map! But be careful and don't fall down, or you will have to start all over again!

8b1_hellinashop by 8ball1





Another oldschool map by 8ball1, which many of you guys voted for. Words are superfluous here, since most of you guys might already know the map. Sit back and enjoy this awesome custom map.

daza_militarybase by daza





This map will take you into an old and forgotten military base. The map is really nice and fun to play, it has some quite tricky jumps here and there.
You start outside of the base searching for a way inside. After getting inside, you have to search your way to the top. When you find the way to the roof, you keep going further into the base and search for the way down. You have to go deep inside the base, before you finally reach the end timer. There are a lot of different places and settings in the map, so you won't get bored at all. If you like small and speed maps with fun jumps, you are going to like this map!


kz_kzsca_escape by hm^





A real masterpiece by hm^. This map has a really nice environment and the architecture is just superb, everything in the map fits. The theme hm^ has choosen for this map, is a nice egypt tomb located somewhere underground. While you jump trough the map, you will discover secret paths and some very nice jumps, but be careful and don't get lost!

kz_kzsca_egyptmemories by hm^





hm^ is on a mapping spree! His hard work finally paid off, and we are proud to present his third map in this release. The third map by hm^ is another map with an Egyptian theme and with an awesome atmosphere. You start into an old Egyptian tunnel in the other side of the tomb. While trying to get to the other side, you will face a lot of new and creative jumps all over the map. Of course, we can't miss to say something about the architecture, because it is very impressive. While exploring the map you will see lots of different places and themes. The final room is just an awesome and well deserved finish. Playing this map has been a real adventure!

But enough with the talk! Start CS and enjoy the maps!

P.S: SadPuppy and me decided to do some tests on the goldsource engine limits with the new compile tools. Furthermore we decide to write an article with short explanation about the things we have discovered. You can read the articel here.

P.S.²: My mapping pack was updated with 5 new files and 5 programs were updated to their latest versions. You can download it here.

Happy to see 8b1_hellinasbhop, this map is better than most of the official maps... I do not know about the rest

14/02/2012 19:18:00

Probably gonna be my last "official" map. Nice to see it accepted, eventhough it took a bit of time.

14/02/2012 19:18:00

14/02/2012 19:48:00

i dont like the style of the maps in this release made by hm^, dunno why, but i dont feel the urge to play them. for me helianshop is the best one, after that comes dazas map.

14/02/2012 20:06:00

LOL Fantastic maps :P Gonna try 'em soon. Nice work really !

14/02/2012 20:10:00

cute maps!

14/02/2012 20:33:00

GJ daza :) and rest ofc, but I'm wondering why German mapper made scandinavian maps? :p

14/02/2012 20:48:00

where did the pure bhop maps go :( ? an bhop map including a climb part is no bhop map IMHO..

14/02/2012 20:51:00

- Gj daza <3 ! :D

14/02/2012 20:56:00

hellinashop, o ya! The other maps look cool, also.

14/02/2012 20:58:00

well done

14/02/2012 21:12:00

nice work mappers <3

14/02/2012 21:41:00

protoN +1

14/02/2012 21:47:00

Those are people which deserve the most apreciation, not recorders. Good job 2 every mapper, especially hm^

14/02/2012 22:04:00

8b1_hellinasbhop is nice, but others sucks.....

14/02/2012 22:28:00

All maps is really fun, good job everyone :) Have a feeling more oldshcool maps from 8ball1 will make its way into the XJ list :P

14/02/2012 22:46:00

Congratz guys ! Thanks mappers :d

14/02/2012 22:48:00

sad to accept maps like heliansbhop if theres an inbuilt sc which saves quite alot and requires no skill. escape is way too dark... without flashlight theres no point in playing it. egyptmemories is definetly not playable on pub servers cause of movable blocks thats a real big emo - from me havent testet it on lan but seems quite easy if nobody is bothering to steal your blocks. valley? dunno everything looks the same

14/02/2012 22:54:00

I just finished playing them all and totally fell in love with escape and egyptmemories. Great style there, although the beginning is - just as akkord already mentioned - a little bit too dark. @Akkord, we just played egyptmemories on a public server with not much trouble at all.

14/02/2012 23:15:00

Great job guys :-)

14/02/2012 23:40:00

real creative map names guys.. anyway some of them look fun, I know hellinashop is pretty good and i'll try the others.

15/02/2012 00:19:00

egyptmemories its beautifull *.* gj hm^

15/02/2012 00:22:00

lovely maps all mappers, esp hm^:)

15/02/2012 00:26:00

first of all gj for another map release,I only know 8b1_hellinasbhop and that's a great map.As protoN sad there are no pure bhop maps and no medium-hard,hard maps and that's a big minus for map checkers.I just saw a denied maps list and tbh I am very disappointed.Where is fu_extreme?qsk_azure-2,bla_basementblock,qsk_grayline,qsk_sleepy they all had more votes then kzsca_valley and they didn't get accepted.Also bkz_bhopvalley and bla_lechuguilla are awesome maps which are probably never get accepted just because they're mappers don't have enough friends so they can vote for their maps...Unfortunately I must say that this ,,map nominations'' system is not really working since the maps who get accepted have ~20 votes and this community have a few thousand daily active members.Don't get me wrong I'm not hating anybody here I just wanna see some great maps accepted.Gonna try these new maps tomorrow.

15/02/2012 00:53:00

hm fuck 1.6 come at source and get learning cos source is the future not this bullie 12 years old..

15/02/2012 02:07:00

15/02/2012 06:23:00

nice ! i liked all new map.

15/02/2012 08:10:00

excellent news :D

15/02/2012 09:30:00

Just excellent! :D well done mappers.

15/02/2012 10:18:00

@FLP I asked cyclop moths ago if there is any chance that fu_extreme wont be accepted and he told me that the difficulty of the map wont be a factor to not accepting the map... And now, after 8 months, PsYxOpAt say that the map was denied because it has no demo... And i asked him twice how did godroom, azure, synergy got accepted and i got no answer... In generally when you want to speak to a xj maps admins, about mapping info's like when will be a release, is my map checked/accepted or not etc etc, is like speaking to a brick wall... either you get no answer or, in best cases, just vague answers... And yes, I don't see how they accepted kzsca_valley, that got just 7 votes + it was nominated by the mapper, witch is against the rules... (just to be clear, have nothing against hm^...)

15/02/2012 10:22:00

kzsca_valley would be perfect without that bhop parts...

15/02/2012 11:42:00

Awesome maps I really like it only kz_kzsca_egyptmemories is not for my skills but anyway seems pretty awesome. Good job boys esp [flag]de[/flag] [b]hm^[/b].

15/02/2012 14:57:00

daza_militarybase +1

15/02/2012 15:42:00

@FuZzy1 I'm sorry to hear that,I know that you spent a lot of time and patience creating that great map which surely deserves a place on xj.

15/02/2012 16:11:00

cool :up:

15/02/2012 19:50:00

gratz hm^ u know i always love ur maps:up:

15/02/2012 20:01:00

[b]Good maps, gus)[/b] :up:

15/02/2012 20:45:00

New maps!! Great! GJ MAPPERS!"!

15/02/2012 20:56:00

kz-scandinaviaaa BEST <3 NIce All Esp hm!!!!!!!!!!

15/02/2012 21:05:00

kz_kzsca_egyptmemories To be honest, hm^ you created my fav. map, gj

15/02/2012 21:54:00

wow i`m amazed how some maps get "kz_" tag so easily while others, way more interesting and enjoyable(e.g. http://xtreme-jumps.eu/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?269492 , http://xtreme-jumps.eu/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?268349.0 , http://xtreme-jumps.eu/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?283937.0 ) are getting denied or simply not checked by admins even though they have enough votes... off: i want to ask hm^: are you testing your maps with gamma set to 100? the default setting is 2 as far as i know, which many people use.. try playing kz_kzsca_escape with that setting and see if u can complete the map.. you`ll run out of batteries!! ok.. this comment may be a little bit too harsh but it`s true! and congrats daza for your _militarybase, it looks gorgeous!

16/02/2012 00:39:00

agree with some ppl, there are better maps on map nominatiuons forum and i've a question how this map was accepted kzsca_mountainvillage ? there isnt a thread on map nominations

16/02/2012 09:19:00

First of all I`m happy to see new maps in the mapcycle. But srsly...are you map-admins or what ? You release like 5 maps in 6 months,these are like 10 maps a year..and you are wondering why the community is dying. There are like 20 maps that are better than 60% of the official maps and they are just not released!? This is just wrong.Do something about it!

16/02/2012 09:58:00

nikksan +1 Also, I don't understand why XJ doesn't accept fast maps, like 1 minute or 1:30 minutes :s I love to see some fast rapes not 30 minutes of run.

16/02/2012 13:23:00

Can u read guys? "We are sorry for the delay and from now on we are trying to release the new maps on a monthly base again."
