Skijump!

[[-I-]Nutcruncher]

Well it seems an "unauthorized" early version of my original skijump beta map still survives in the RO community. I made skijump just for fun as an experiment in map making, something which I have no experience with. It went through 5 basic designs, with the version I'm posting here the last one I made before abandoning the project.

So, back from June 07, here is the "final" version of Skijump, complete with opposing jumps, a bobsled track, and Star Trek style transporters. It features modified vehicles created by CIA's ToiletDuckie around the time I was building the map. Hopefully I've included all the necessary files, including uz2 files for server admins.

YES I know the map is silly: that's the point!

YES I know things probably don't work.

YES I know the bobsled track can be a challenge to get down and it's clunky!

But who cares, it's just for fun.

Enjoy!

i always wondered why it was just a beta version and never a final......now we know the truth that the beta version has been used over the years without permission cough...cough.... [50pc.] server?

Ahhh you are referring to times when server corsairing was the first method of gaining new maps due to the rule - you see a new map on some (not passworded) server - you take it. It was good times
Me - as main "maphunter" for ro.pl you can blame for that if it was annoying to you (don't remember if it was personally me at the case but that's not the point). Nowadays we add only released maps to the Community and that is why we are missing some good ones, because if not released on forums like this one we try to contact authors who don't want to speak with us or are still "unknown", but that is how now the civilized people do, so...

Here is updated link for your map at ro.pl map repository:




BTW do anybody knows how to contact the author of RO-TopGun map?
It needs to be fixed due to some scripts which are not working with last patch (or maybe earlier one) of the game. Vehicles don't shoot
This (fixed) map would really suit my fun&tdm server, so anyone?

Thanks Nutcruncher, we've had a lot of fun with it.

just played it last night and that bobsled part looks like there could be a lot of fun to be had with some people....also love how there's two jumps and the teleporting in each so that people can try to crash into each other midair

I remember the topgun map and I think it may have been ToiletDuckie who made it but I'm not 100% sure.

It is perfectly possible to have mid-air collisions in skijump! If you can successfully get the panther down the jump you can also shoot the opposing jumper in midair. There's a few AT guns on the south side of the map and on the top of the mountain you can have fun with too.

Thanks for updating the link BartBear. I think it was seeing that uncredited original link that inspired me to leave an official "legacy" to the RO community.

Tested it today on the PL server and noticed the transporter sounds weren't working. I included the wrong sound file (nutmusic.uax). I have inserted the proper file and updated the download links.

Ok so I updated repository and server too, yes this time the file is bigger so more wruuuuummms there it is

I know that it is a big OT but can someone reach this TopGun author for me? I'd really like to have the map on my server and in repo of course
It would be a really healthy competition to our RO-BattleIn.... series
