3 New Maps

By oO3ddYOo·
Good evening everyone!

It's been a while since the last maprelease, but now it's finally here again. Some new awesome maps is finally tested and ready for release. I hope you all enjoy:

imao_darkcavern by zeroimao:



imao_darkcavern is an interesting map, your are traveling through an underground kind of goldmine system. The map contains allot of different effects and cool areas to checkout.

kz_pit by Ovi:



kz_pit is also a very interesting map, it's a block map, but it's not your regular block level, the design makes the map pop. Really pleasing for the eye and fun to jump too!

kzarg_infinitefall by ChaosAD:



kzarg_infinitefall is a very open map, your jumping in space, it is also kind of a block level, it features a future look in space and is a pleasure to jump.

kz_pit First of all, I don't think it is that nice to steal the textures from dawn, especially when dawn was released not that long ago. Your map has a very nice atmosphere, and the architecture owns, I really like the broken train-tracks and stuff. The jumps are a little bit inventive and fun, some of them were a little unbalanced I think. Over all this map reminds me too much of dawn, and like dawn, it feels like this is missing something, just that little extra :/ Maybe it's just that the map has the same light and color all the way, so it makes it a bit dull. And also, the train-tracks that i found cool, are somehow out of place here and there :/ just hard to imagine where the train is supposed to go :S 7/10 - worth playing ;) imao_darkcavern First thing that came to my mind is: WTF? What is a lamp hanging from a wire doing in the middle of a cave sticking out of a rock wall o_O Some of your ideas were good, I liked the part where you fell down into some hole and there was a skeleton and stuff there. Over all this map feels really old school, blocky and boring :/ I was just hoping to see the end button the whole time. Why didn't you make the water more transparent, and why didn't the map check team tell you to do it :/ It's dark and dull :/ not my kind of maps 5/10 - sorry man, you didn't catch me here. kzarg_infinitefall Yay! Halloween theme :P That's cool, except that it wasn't the original one, but some gay remix. Textures were boring to me, and the jumps were just hard and gay =/ I didn't even play through it, I got too bored. 6/10 - Not my kind of map ;D This release was pretty boring.

25/10/2008 21:40:00

gj all

25/10/2008 21:51:00

i mostly agree with wrath... thx anyway

25/10/2008 21:54:00

Yep, wRath said it all. But gj mappers :p

25/10/2008 21:56:00

Due to protocol update what uses more resources than css I'll just be silent this time... =( Can say only: nice textures... =)

25/10/2008 21:59:00

Well well well! I was very excited about some new maps, but now i gotta ask myself "why do i spend a hack of time on my maps when i can just submit boring ones". Sry but this release sucked! darkcavern: lol when i opened the map i checked to see if i actually opened the right map! it just looks SIMPLE! The textures are old and overused and UGLY! The water (like wrath said before) is not transparent. The jumps are great! (if you like w-strafing maps). Its too dark for my taste, with gives the fact that cuz of the textures you sometimes can hardly see the jumps, a little extra bonus! One thing that would have made the map a little more attractive would have been to make the ground a little realistic! its FLAT! He should have made some more bhops possible! I liked the ending room! thats all. flame me what ever i dont care 2/10 (which is gentle) infinitefall: I stopped playing it! i rly like haard and x maps! but these jumps were only annoying! The textures are scaled too big so they look unrealistc (which is realitve cuz its an fantasy theme). I liked the spikes as details! The music was annoiyng but kinda fitted to the map (dont get me wrong here^^) Uhm the flames were missplaced on the torches! The lighting overall is pretty weird cuz its bright but alll around its black Oo! All in all it was 3.5/10! (not good but it was better than darkcavern) pit: After 2 disappointments i thought "yeepee now comes the kz_ map"! I gotta say that im impressed by the inventetive design of a block map! gj for that dude! The lighting could have been a little more i dunno "interesting" to give it some better feeling (btw why is there such a har dwind in a cave with no holes) Oo Now! The textures! I can understand that you used them cuz they are nice and fit rly good into the map! BUT they have been in last releasee already! Thtas not good and not bad! Whats next? Ye the jumps. They were OK! some were cool some were annoying, like on all maps! But they rly ROCK compared to the other 2 maps! I gotta tell you Ovi this map was pretty cool! The design rocked! i give 7/10 cuz of the textures and the lighting! Some hard words but its how i feel about the maps! Live with it or dont! looking forward to more maps like pit that are made while the mapper turned his brain on.

25/10/2008 22:20:00

cut zero some slack this is his 2nd kz map hes ever made, give him time

25/10/2008 22:25:00

well maybe he should have made some more maps to practice! so that that after training he is capable to do a WICKED SICK map!

25/10/2008 22:34:00

Gj Mappers:)

25/10/2008 22:34:00

[b]imao_darkcavern[/b] Pink good luck ? What is pink doing there ? :)) It doesn't fit at all with the texture ! I remember that i saw some time ago, a map admin saying something like this "don't make invisible hp booster"... but now i see one on a map. That's ok. First time i got the impression that you can get stuck there.... That tree at the end ? Strange moving :)) What I do like on this map is the oldschool atmosphere. Let's not forget about the textures and the nice arhitecture. I really like it. Since the style of the map it's kind of oldschool, you should it make it longer... [b]kz_pit[/b] Before I'll write anything more, I just wanna say that even though I don't know Ovi, I know that his an oldschool mapper and I respect him. What follows here it's not about Ovi, or his mapping skills. So, when I first saw the map I asked myself why this map isn't it called kzsca_dawn_v2 ? Secondly, I couldn't notice the wind sound... Isn't that a little bit annoying ? I remember that when you guys (map admins) denied a map, you said that the wind is to loud and it's very irritating (annoying). How can you denie a map for those 2 reasons and after 2 weaks, another map with the same 2 characteristics it's accepted with kz tag ? Ovi, you did a wonderful job with the arhitecture. It's something pleasant for my eyes. And also the atmosphere is really great and it's fun to jump. I noticed also some unbalanced jumps, but overall it's a nice map. [b]kzarg_infinitefall[/b] At the first look this map is really nice. The music fits with the atmosphere that you tried to creat. Once you go jumping... well, let's just say that you'll have a change of heart. I saw at lj room that if you stand between the blocks you don't fall... even though it's an empty space. Kind of unrealistic. I like this map... but in the same time I don't. It's kind of strange... I know. If just you had worked more in this map... you know... to bad that you didn't. However... good job.

25/10/2008 22:35:00

the ending room of darkcavern shows that he is capable to do something much better! if he had done the whole map like this it would have beenn much better!

25/10/2008 22:35:00

hes already working on another project and hes taken all ur ideas into consideration for his 2nd map u gotta say its not bad for his 2nd map lol and it gets accepted

25/10/2008 22:40:00

mentaL_o ARE YOU GOD?

25/10/2008 22:49:00

im not sry! i just say how i feel about the maps! and this time i really say what i think cuz people talk bad about my maps too :) so why are the others (even those who never mapped themselves) allowed to blame my maps and im not?

25/10/2008 23:00:00

if ur saying this to me im not saying anything about ur maps all im saying is that this is his 2nd kz map...

25/10/2008 23:02:00

25/10/2008 23:38:00

25/10/2008 23:41:00

i never said im god! i just post what i think of these maps! people talk bad about my maps and im always the one whos the bad flamer or the "chlidish" one! But when i critizize maps im not allowed to or what?

25/10/2008 23:43:00

and i bet the mappers i critzized are now angry too lol

25/10/2008 23:45:00

i love dark maps <3 gj all

25/10/2008 23:47:00

+9000 mto didnt like any map

25/10/2008 23:47:00

All maps are very nice, especially kz_pit! Very enjoyable map. This map became one of my most favorite maps for sure. imao_darkcavern was too dark in some places and the music in the kzarg_infinitefall was so tiresome and I typed "volume 0" in console.... Anyway this map has very nice and original jumps.

26/10/2008 00:05:00

gj mappers specially ChaosAD =)

26/10/2008 01:47:00

OFF: mentaL_o ... all of ur maps, besides textures(which look cool) are VERY boring to play... absolutely no feeling while jumping whatsoever... and u have how many maps accepted? i`ll never play 4caves just because ur cave is sooo damn ugly :/ ON: [b]pit[/b] - worth playing... the structure of the map is cool, and its a fun map to jump (the textures fit... so what if it looks like dawn...) [b]darkcavern[/b] - some stuff on the map doesnt fit... jumping feels ok... [b]infinitefall[/b] - <3 the song , </3 the jumps all in all a dark release xD good job mappers! keep it up!

26/10/2008 01:50:00

it has being a while since the last new map release, anyways gj look forward to it <3

26/10/2008 03:12:00

jesus whats wit heveryone, writing a whole book for resume of the maps? bet none cares what you guys think, so keep itto urselfs :P no offence. Looks nice mappers and team, GJ!

26/10/2008 04:20:00

loopah: one word. to help the mapper to get better. So from a mapper to a commentarier like loopah: We mappers doesn't care on GJ or GJ Mappers. We want feedback.(Like how you guys find the maps, how you liked the jumps or even the design. Thats the onliest things what we want from the users) It makes us angry when we see such comments GJ mappers without any informations given. Most of us are sitting weeks or even months on a project to make it so that the community likes it( this is also based on our freetime, where we could do better things in our reallife ). If you can't understand this, try to make a map and wait for the release and look the comments only with GJ loopah or GJ mappers and team... You will see how fast you will get angry. And i really like it now how it is going with the feedback. Seems more like the past is coming back where the users are writing feedbacks from the released maps.

26/10/2008 07:11:00

intresting maps ?? haxhaha wtf ?! lol

26/10/2008 07:39:00

26/10/2008 08:20:00

Gj mappers , maps seem to be AWESOME!

26/10/2008 08:59:00

seems to be an ugly,boring map release this time ? should i dl it ? :D nah i will (mby) gj anyway

26/10/2008 10:35:00

[b]imao_darkcavern[/b] This is a nice improvement from your first map, I like the jumps and the design. Jumps are really sweet. I don't like the lighting in the 2nd big cave compared to the others but overall nice lighting. The last cave is really great! gj zeroimao! [b]kz_pit[/b] yay ovi is back! Love the jumps, love the textures etc(of course because i love kzsca_dawn). This is a really nice long map. A little unbalanced but i don't care about that. gj ovi! [b]kzarg_infinitefall[/b] This is my favorite map in this release, Love the atmosphere, nice texture and love the jumps! I think the 1st block is a lot harder then the rest but maybe that's just me. Nice with the bhops between each level. gj ChaosAD!

26/10/2008 12:50:00

Nice job mappers! awesome maps :)

26/10/2008 12:58:00

If you have criticism towards the latest maps don't hold it back. But consider: Pure and sensless flaming will get you warned ofc. If you think you can do better maps: Don't be ungrateful and give it a try.

26/10/2008 13:10:00

Eeh, lol @ loopah's comment? Darkcavern is very fun to play imo. It have some hard bhop combos and tricky sc's, which we'll hopefully see in wr demo in the future. It's fast and feels very old-school. Two or three more caves wouldn't had hurt. Maybe there were some malplaced lamps, I don't remember. Still nice atmosphere, that skeletton in the small tunnel was kinda unnecessary. I enjoyed it a lot! Nothing wrong with the textures, they fit well in a cave map. Haven't played pit yet, good that it's long. I'll probably stick with dawn though. I LOVE infinitewall. So good looking and fun to jump!! It would be my new favourite map, were not for one jump in the end somewhere, a strafejump where u have to land on a thin edge, it was too hard in comparison with the rest I think!!

26/10/2008 13:39:00

3dark maps?

26/10/2008 18:23:00

dark maps

26/10/2008 20:10:00

so gj mentalo man, lol hes just typing what he feels and it is interesting to read actually. Keep on man

26/10/2008 20:40:00

Hay, I wonder why everyone is flaming about the textures on kz_pit. Some say i stole them? I bet the map maker of dawn stole them from somwhere else too... Also I didn't know that dawn was released before like 3weeks? Well, actually you should rate a map how it looks, and not if it looks equal to some other map... :S About the wind sound. It didn't really feeled to loud for me. Also you could just use "stopsound". ;)

26/10/2008 22:03:00

yea ovi.. There is 500 maps, almost 1000 total with unofficial. So if some maps uses the same textures, who cares? Unless they are copyrighted(!) anyone can do whatever they want with them. Probably only a few percents of the maps that's using own created/tweaked extures.

27/10/2008 17:38:00

About that, I think it is fine to "steal" textures, but using them in the same combination is really wrong :/ it's like stealing a theme. Mix the textures up with other textures and make your own combination, then it would be a lot better. The wind sound was pretty awesome, it made a sweet atmosphere in your map Ovi!

31/10/2008 21:46:00

gj ChaosAD hard jumps u.u

23/02/2009 01:22:00

All are dark an minimum hard. Long time passed, so I wont comment what and why. Will go forward to the rates. Only imao_darkcavern has rate result 3. Other two maps I rated by 1. Mostly cuz challenge isn't rated right - it took -5 on both maps (except darkcavern -4). Other is for the darkness, already seen textures, bad jump ideas and bla-bla-bla.... Don't like them.
