Community Map Collaboration + 1 new map
Hello climbers and mappers!
In the past we have seen amazing maps being released as result of several mappers collaborating with each other. Great example is kz_4caves by colix, mtoboiii8000, Chrizzy and clair that provides amazing diversity in style and good climbing flow for jumpers. There are also much older maps like kz_5trees and kz_cmp_collage_v2, not to mention collaboration by just two or three mappers have been quite popular over the years as well.
Today we want to initiate our own collaboration map to celebrate spring - kz_xj_spring. We would like mappers to send us short map parts that we will put together and release as a single spring themed map (similar to rnr_speedcrag, fof_dale, uq_suncliff just a little bigger). Project will be managed by KarLi, who is a member of XJ mapcheck team and actually came forward with this idea. He will be working closely with mappers and admins to ensure map quality, as well as doing all the finalizing and additional mapping (connections, details, textures, timer, spawn, finish etc.).
Here are the rules for participants:
- Main theme: outdoor/nature/spring/sunny.
- Basic Requirements: jumps/walls/details/sky; sounds, models, 5+ textures.
- Jumps: Easy speed climb
- Length: 50-60sec part per mapper.
- Deadline: 2nd of May 2016 (2 weeks)
- Submission: send xjbeta_nick.rar compiled map part + RMF&WAD files to KarLi or http://xtreme-jumps.eu/submitmaps.php
- Map part can be unfinished beta, additional 1-2 weeks will be give to improve it.
Additional info:
- We will select 5 best map parts for the final ~5 min map.
- Mappers will be set as map co-creators and will get 1 month VIP gold.
- If we get more good parts - they well be combined and released as custom map or even kz_ too.
- Texture pack you may use (you can use your own textures): https://www.sendspace.com/file/32sqm8
- Mappers allowed to work on map parts after beta submission in two weeks, while we run test builds and choose parts for the final map.
We are planning a lot more interesting events for mappers after this one, so please don't be discouraged if you can't or don't want to participate in this project!
Good luck and have fun mapping!
Last but not least we got one new-old map for you, that made a comeback after removal request by mapper.
