JB map pack #2?

[tarquin]

There are now 6 individual maps listed as required for Lockdown, so I think it might be time to bundle them up and call them the Jailbreak Bonus Map Pack #2 (the Classic pack being #1). This would make it easier for people to get set up to play on the mothership.

What do you guys think?

The maps are:
JB-Chrome (CoolDude)
JB-Crusher2 (RevBillyG)
JB-Furia (ZedMaestro)
JB-Galactica (RevBillyG)
JB-Oasis-V2 (SpoonDog)
JB-ScorchedEarth (Rob)

 

[RevBillyG]

Sounds cool

Isn't it about time you updated your sig?

 

[tarquin]

yeah, it is -- but what are the URLs for the newer sig banners we have?

 

[Matthew Leech]

No, not a good idea. wait untill 2000c comes out and replace the old oasis with the new one. the reason why spoon made a new one was because it had a lot of critical bugs, also revs galactica needs to fix his crash bug or else no online play for us.

 

[tarquin]

Oh hang on, Oasis is an ECE map -- so the updated version should probably be bundled with 2004c.
In that case, that's only 5 maps, and we can maybe wait for a 6th, or for the two maps CoolDude is finishing.

 

[Matthew Leech]

yep, and you can wait for galactica because it crashes during online play. This would be the best decision.

I have planned a good layout for a JB map, but I won't start with it until I finish my two maps in progress (about 1st July), so my map could be finished in August... emmm... it's too late, isn't it?

 

[The_Head]

I hope pimpiong my map aint taken the wrong way here. JB-Tomb?

Our general plan for maps with Jailbreak 2004 has been to release maps individually, as they are completed.

My opinion on a map pack is that it should be a bundle of previously-released maps, packed together as one for convenience.
Adding new maps that haven't been widely tested makes things much harder. Even with plenty of beta testing, errors creep in (like the problem we had with Heights).
So for your map, it would be best to release it as a single map, and then it can maybe feature in a map pack later on.

I don't see it on the NaliCity list...

 

[Matthew Leech]

I didn't like the tomb much, but thats my opinion. it lacks the quality of the other jb maps out there.

 

[The_Head]

I don't see it on the NaliCity list...

Thats because its not on Nalicity
Its on the JB forums somewhere.....


At Mat leech;
Yeh I would agree there, I know it lacks the overall quality butI find it fun, i suppose thats what matters to me. Someday I will improve it.....
sadly my UED aint working properly and I really don't have the time atm

 

[tarquin]

Ok, a few more maps have been released...

Here's a suggested list of maps:

• JB-Chrome (CoolDude)
• JB-Crusher2 (RevBillyG)
• JB-Coralation (ZedMaestro)
• JB-Furia (ZedMaestro)
• JB-Gravity (Hazel)
• JB-Relic (ZedMaestro)
• JB-ScorchedEarth (Rob)

- I'd remove JB-Coralation and include it in the official JB200xC release.
- The_Head will finish soon JB-Egypt and JB-Cyanide, which could be in that pack too...
- And what has happened with Rev's JB-Galactica?

Lol, I said I'd finish a Jaibreak map in August, and it hasn't been started seriously yet. I just have placed a few stupid cubes, and now I'm not so sure if that will ever become a map... meh...

 

[Sexmachine]

Hehe ... what about JB-Opposite? Might be interesting to see how this map works as a JB map

I doubt we'll include extra maps in the 200xC release. There are many maps in there already, and also it keep the size of the patch installer fairly small.
The strategy for map packs (as I said above) is for previously-released maps to be bundled together.
Galactica... good question! What's the update on the bug?

 

[Hans Oberlander]

I made him fix it

 

[Vatcilli zeitchef]

Aw man how long have we been talking about the long-awaited JB2004c?
UT2007 will be out before we can really start using it.

 

[tarquin]

It's all down to fixing bugs. Can you help?

 

[Vatcilli zeitchef]

Not yet. I am reading some tutorials on Wiki,
but just at with Mychaeel I'm quite short on time
and since I'm trying to learn about C++ too.
(and trying to map) I'm not quite concentrated
when it comes to scripting.

 

[Jrubzjeknf]

I'll finish my Shared Jail Addon as soon as possible. Would like this one to be included in the C-patch. WE NEED MORE SHARED JAILS!

Will look into fixing then.

ps. What does Jailbreak do if certain addons are in conflict with eachother? More and more addons are being made now, this is gonna happen sooner or later.
