Another Jail Map!

[3vlNomad]

I got addicted to the Jail server and want some more variety on maps, so I decided to make my own!

Current features:
- 15ct/30t
- couch room (w/ a control room for special effects)
- climb (w/ a control room to start a "death race to the top", when activated the winner gets a button to kill the remaining climbers if they choose lol)
- disco (no songs yet, any suggestions?)
- small outdoor pool
- outdoor s4s (without invisible walls, can also be used for knife fights I guess)
- outdoor soccer field
- several easter eggs throughout
- no designated spray wall but several "open" walls you can use


If you have any suggestions let me know

Any screenshots? Visuals would be great to make it easier to give some feedback.

Otherwise, it sounds great. It is always good to have people working on new jail maps for the server.

There is a lot of room for stuff in one of the outside areas, here's some pics

view from hammer:

same view drawn in paint:

The bigger blank area is just a random displacement at the moment.. lol

Where is the cellarea ?

Inside the building that's not shown in that shot, not gonna show screenshots from hammer, too many secrets you have to find out on your own! And I don't want to make ingame shots until it's more done, sorry

Climb and disco are part of the complex and have hallways leading to cell area, couch room is in the cell area, tunnel leads from cell area to outside areas.

Map is about medium size, not too small and not too large

One suggestion, you could have more outside, like in the screenshot, add more things to it.

Looks good .

Yeah, I need some ideas for those empty areas in the screenshot, I don't know what else to put in..




Just finished disco, beware all ye epileptics! (seriously, if you have epilepsy don't go in the disco room)

Sifted through my techno harddrive and picked 5 songs I think would be good:

Wink - Higher State of Consciousness (Dirty South & TV Rock Remix)

Ferry Corsten - Into the Dark (Breakfast Remix)

Blank & Jones - Nightfly (WMC 06 Retouch)

East Clubbers - Sexplosion (Radio Mix) << this is clean, fyi

Dirt Devils - The Drill (Evacuation Remix)

Cant wait to see the outcome

 

[Captain Nighthawk]

Your not going to put 5 songs on the map are you ?
That will make the map size a bit big >.<

You could have sandbox, and make a hot lava challenge there..just think of something.

/me quickly copyrights his hot lava idea

[arnarbatman]

Lol xD

Well.. I did.. Haven't pak'd em in yet, but seeing as how I couldn't get them to play as mp3's I converted them to wav's (which works for some reason) but each song is like 8-10mb each XD

Does anyone know what specifically must be done for mp3's to work? I haven't found anything searching.

At their smallest size, the smallest size is 800kb and the largest is 2.1mb (mp3 format, 32kpbs bitrate) << would not work

The smallest wav (which works) is 8.7mb @ 352kpbs bitrate

If I can get the mp3's to work the map would only be like 10mb total, the map is currently 5mb by itself

 

[Captain Nighthawk]

My .mp3's work fine, never had any problems

 

[Rogue Sniper]

They wont play in Hammer but in game they do play.

Also the StopSound input for Ambient_Generic's do not work. Its about modifying the volume.

 

[Captain Nighthawk]

Yea, you just have to change the volume, 10 is the maxmum

 

[3vlNomad]

Okay, I never tried it ingame just figured if it wouldnt play in hammer that was that lol. It's working now..

Also the StopSound input for Ambient_Generic's do not work. Its about modifying the volume.

My StopSound commands work ingame.. But I also have a fade-in/out set so maybe that's what does it..
