No more jail escape routes?

[The Dopefish]

That was the most entertaining part of the jails; being able to break yourselves out.

The arena thing is a nice concept, but you shouldn't necessarily have to rely on your ability to kill someone one-on-one.

 

[FireCrack]

yeah, where are they?

 

[Alhanalem]

yeah, where are they?

A map i'm working on will have them (but unfortunetly my mapping talent is rather limited so dont expect it to be great lol) You will need to form a ladder of players to use it

 

[tarquin]

They are supported by the game.
It's just that none of the bundled maps have any.

Get mapping!

/me notes down for future maps (I'm just so lazy ... or I think of jails last and there's no room for an escape, or something...)

 

[FireCrack]

and someone likes notes

I just got UT2K4 and larning the new editor. but I'm working on something (well mainly an idea right now) and all my maps have a custom escape (its my trade mark along with usually elborate death scenes).

 

[TheSpoonDog]

OMG!!! JB-1337-2004!!!!!!!

I'll probably include one when I manage to sit down and actually produce something that doesn't suck giant things.

actually i hear some of the maps do have an escape route.. just not all of them

er can u form ladders in 2k4 right now? i tried jumpin on a teammate's head last time i played and simply bounced off...

 

[Mychaeel]

You can only stand on a crouched teammate (but yes, you can). As soon as he/she stands up, you'll fall off.

I completely disagree.



As far as break outs are concerned, I imagine the need for teammates is going to be negligible. If the escape is based on height, then lone players could easily shield jump out.

there other ways aside from hight, 3 ideas I usally do are make the alt release window so small that the person that hits the button usally can't make it to the espace (so one person kinda sacrifces himself for the team). or you take damage opening the area ad escaping (so doing both wll kill you). the last is make it so you need teamwork to provide a distraction or something (one of mine in JBIII was always open but you had to crouch down and go through an area with monsters shooting you, its next to impossable to get by if there isn't someone distracting the monsters. than again you could stand up and run but hitting the sensor net would close the alt escape so you run it for your team)

 

[Alhanalem]

You cant use the shieldgun to get out if the escape requires you to crouch (you cant crouch in midair)

 

[FireCrack]

I'm preety sure you can crouch in midair, but you could always amke the escape too high to do with a hammerjump.

Or you could make it hammerjump proof by adding a volume with a low terminal velocity.

 

[Half_Lunatic]

Nope..no crouching in midair...I was said to see no escape routes in the released maps as well. My map will have one, but it isn't easy.

 

[atticbat]

Like Spineblaze has ever been in jail... pbfft.

AND cool new sig, man.
