Release Candidate Update Pushed on the workshop. Is this good enough for KSF servers? I'm not declaring this map finished until it's on KSF.

Peace, cheers.

Download Link with server setting entity removed : *to be uploaded.

How many player spawns do I need? Anything else I need to know etc? Help !

[Sacred]

60 player spawns, and if you do have startzones of stages with weird shapes then make an empty trigger_multiple covering them with the same shape cause we can only cover rectangular ones properly

[rippey]

I scan map and i find many wrong stuff. Ill try explain you whats u doing wrong.
For first, make func_detail on your map -> Select all ramps, arrows and weird shapes be like
187
Make better ramps. be like this tutorial -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGjQZz7pQ1Q
188
Use NODRAW tool better.
189
Your triggers are horible, make it like second img
190

You have to remake whole map and make it optimized. I saw many more wrong stuff. I can help u if its needed

[Sacred]

Thanks, altho this is probably the slowest download site I've seen in a while.

[Sacred]

Yea idk, it doesn't work for me from that site =/

[Sacred]

Aight got it now thanks to Silverdong, /spam

[Masog]

Upload it to zippyshare.com, I use it for years and it never let me down.
@edit: nvm, sacred's got it, didn't notice second page.

[Sacred]

About the map now: I think it's a bit too boring cause it's so easy, but overall decent. Could/Should be longer than what you got.

The ramps are fine, I don't know what rippey wants, but he's right about the end trigger_teleport thing.

[rippey]

Yeah ramps are fine, sorry my bad

[burga]

I tried to fix up some triggers and multiples. I should probably remake this. Someone told me I didn't need 60 spawns tho.

[burga]

Im Trying to optimize now. If it gets really nicely optimized ill add some more surf

[Sacred]

You do need 60 spawns. Our servers have 60 slots, therefore 60 players should able to play at once.

[burga]

Ok, nowlech told me I didn't but I can re add that back in.

I'm working on a version now with a really nice bonus and it has a lot of remake and optimizations.

I'll upload this version now. It is nicely optimized now and has a cute new bonus :3

[burga]

I fixed EVERYTHING by switching lightmap scale from 16 to 64... map compiles in seconds now before it was 5 minutes. RIP ME. I would have saved HOURs of time.....

super optimized now. help me push this to release... I'm about to update the workshop

Thanks to all for the feedback

It's just my wrong?

[rippey]

Workshop working fine. and cool bonus i like it. cool skip

[horsefeathers]

This map is really boring to me. The textures don't go together at all and are used a lot. The lighting is nothing special and just look it was thrown in in 5 minutes. The theme is kind of dumb because its just a meme. The surf is really boring because everything is just in square rooms with glass walls. This is not a good map in my opinion.

surf_meme2 confirmed

Well thanks for the feedback, I was aiming for tier 1-2. I know a server I play on the most played maps are simpsons, spacejam, kitsune ( the first one), and beginner and I think it can hold it's ground against those maps at least and it was my first attempt at creating a map but I guess I'll just leave it to the pros

surf_meme2 confirmed

but phurix is making meme2!!

I think what he's trying to get at is the fact that the map is just really generic surf (and texture) wise. Most of the ramps are very long, so you'll go 2+ seconds without needing to make any mouse movements or even think about what you're going to do next. I appreciate the fact that you didn't put any gimmicks in the stages, which means it won't be annoying to speedrun, just the map is pretty much another surf_kitsune (which is a pretty bad map for any purpose other than learning how to surf)

Visually the map half way there. You chose good looking textures, and the geometry/brushwork isn't bad, there's just no real theme. I would stick with the red/white/blue/black metal textures instead of every colour in the texture pack, use some lights that aren't just white, and do more things trump related aside from putting photos of him around the map surf_fruits style. You mentioned making "the wall" but there's nothing that really indicates that any of your walls are "the wall"

[burga]

Yeah the original wall was removed because I kept getting errors weeks ago. I guess I could remake it in a second bonus possibly now that I know what I'm doing but I also want to move on

[burga]

The version on the workship is pretty finished and is live on "Jays surf n turf tier 1-2" servers IDK if anyone knows them, but he told me it has been getting good feedback !!!
