Title: Anyone a map maker? [JB]
Post by: Ed on November 25, 2013, 10:54:48 pm
We have plenty of people who love to play JB, is there anyone who can make a new unique Jail-Break map?

Designed fairly and interesting for everyone.

I can reward you with a CS steam, not that it will help you play on JB, but it could be handy for those who want to be steamers.
If you have steam already, you can always gift it to someone you know.

I also want to add up to sami, that in the past we made a unique Ambrosia JB map, but I have lost memory who was making it and where it is? If anyone has info about that, please provide it here as well.. :)

I looked at the map, it looks pretty good.
This although will take a lot more time and a lot of build up. JB maps are quite complicated, do you have knowledge of all the triggers? I remember trying to work hammer out when I was about 13-14. Hard work :D

See I see many boring maps, there is in fact there is 600 maps on gamebanana as we speak. I tested 50 maps yesterday and saw 2-3 maps we could possibly use, but most maps I tested was pretty boring repeats. Difference in layout etc, but the styling is so boring you just want to give up. We have plenty such maps already added on the server and I am looking forward to remove them very soon. We might only have 10 maps at a time only, but on regular change so old maps don't get overplayed and new maps are being forced to play.

If you are up to this or anyone else in fact, contact me. I have plenty of ideas which I've seen in some boring maps, which would be awesome, but because of their structure, they just suck.

I need to learn triggers, I am sure there are tutorials out there
And sure I can. I'd need a theme and layout first

Well if you want me to pinpoint things I also can. The map is good, but not great. It's too many different textures used. Also aim maps are simple, easy to make compared to complicated good and flawless jb maps. Anyone with small experience in map maker can make these maps. Not saying anyone can, you need to know stuff about it. Tricky part is not only the triggers, but also creativity, atmosphere you creating for the players etc. All very important. Games are also part of the importance, but since we know a lot of games are just the same, you need to be unique.

That's what I find common in most newbie maps I've been looking through for the last 2 days.

JB maps.
Too many different textures, most of them are boring.

I also found one thing I hate about those maps, it's the half walls which are like 3 player height. I hate walls! :D I now skip all those maps with that type of walling, they are just so boring and 0 creativeness.

I am not looking for 1 week work on a map. I am looking for someone who will actually take time in building the map from scratch, it might take few months to make a decent map.

Megachicken did a good job, but the map was far from good :D It was tho fun to play.

Ah yes, the map was created in order to subject starter ct's to any game possible in the system of jailbreak at that time.

Any plan of action?
Like maybe an aerial view of the map so we can make it accordingly.

I Think there is many people put's there email in the map so if we find someone to make a map for us we can talk to him and give him details for the map we want

It all is up to you and your creativity and imagination.

I can sketch an aerial view of the map when I got the time, but as I said your imagination. You have examples of good maps and crap maps.

It would probably be a waste of time to contact all of these map makers whom left their signature in a map... most probably stoppedplaying CS already and have got new emails

If you want I can create a complex map structure but I'm not a map maker, so you'd only got the idea of how would a (maybe) good map look like from the aerial view.

Post by: Jason Bourne on December 29, 2013, 12:06:03 pm
That would be nice, if more people could draw something up, using paint or w/e, we can start working on it asap.

We would vote on the best drawing

I'm quite experienced mapmaker and I can do really nice maps, hope so :)
I was making a jb map,for ambrosia this whole day and still it isnt finished. A lot of new stuff you didnt seen on most of jb maps, including elevator/lift also. The design of whole complex is quite modern. Plus there are so many things like graffiti tags with names of ambrosian high staff. I made advanced cinematic light system over the whole map! And many more things. I used my custom textures also!

Nearly finished, need to make soccer field, toilets, kz, vents. I would post a preview but im on ipad now ;)
Please do not copycat my ideas if you would make a map! ;)

Sickz, I'd like to see the map so far you've done it as a to tell you whats good or not. Map sounds good, but you do know that you cannot make a good map in a day :D

Anyhow I am not sure about the elevator etc.

Most things what you need to worry is about the game engines so each game, opening closing cells and doors etc works flawlessly.

I worked like 12 hours on it yesterday and 12 more today
