Hello!

I recently created and uploaded an RPG/Trial map (not too hard) and I would love to have feedback on it

It's roughly 5min long for an experienced player (validated in 6min .. I'm not good).

[Bad Track/Map Link] raw link if map-link broken

Part of the map may feel like a maze. If you happen to be stuck, please read bottom line of map description for help.

---

Things I don't know how to do but would love to get help (either if you know good tutorial or want to do it) :
- intro/outro cinematic
- custom lights (torchs) to fit with theme
- custom CPs for theme and user friendliness (numbers)
- remove stadium (I know I could have started from an existing template, but now that it's done, how to do?)
- custom intel/direction pannels
- music

---

Things I know I should do but haven't taken time to do yet
- maybe allow my few custom block to have different floor (so I can put boosts in them?) I guess I could just remove floow and add standard platforms since it's same height
- change the ending, I want to go through an Egyptian like city then finish in sunset between hills

Any constructive comment is welcome

Update :
- fixed some lighting issues making it easier to see where to go
- validated in more reasonnable time (6min)

Also :
I would love to create new lights (torches) specially for that map but I couldn't find any tutorial on that =/ same for CPs that I would like to fit more with the theme.

I don't know why but I can't see your map
Your link sends me back to the main page of the website, and when I click your profil and try to "view" your 1 map I got the following message: "There are currently no tracks to show."
Are you sure it's not currently hidden ?

Oh thanks ! I didn't realize but I clicked on "Hide". That's why the map preview was broken but I could still access it (since it's my map...).

Glad I could help !
Now regarding the map :
I reached the end after 26 minutes, and it seems I missed one or more CP x) But I suck at RPG so don't take this as an meaningful example.
I did not looked carefully for tips, this could have helped.
What I've seen a few times is using a counter on each CP to show if you take the CPs in the order, or if you missed one (like I did). It's up to you though ^^
What is really missing is a forced cam 3 on the wallride at the very beginning. It's easy to do it with media tracker. I did not see other parts needing a custom cam but I obviously missed a few things in your map.

Overall the labyrinth aspect is frustrating, but it really match the theme ! Nice map

Thanks!

- 26min : ye don't worry .. even knowing the map, my first attempt at validating was like 18min
- Missed a CP ? wow .. didn't know that was possible .. they are placed in a way that shouldn't allow it x) would be curious to know which !
- Yes I'll definitely try to add these numbers. Have seen it on other maps, that's a good idea indeed (thought it wasn't much necessary because I didn't realize there was multiple ways); apparently I was wrong
- oh .. forced cam 3 ye .. because I mapped it I know when to switch manually, but I could do it on both wall rides indeed (the one at beginning and the one before last jump).
- ye I know the labyrinth is a perfect match for the theme but annoys some players. That's why -I don't know if you saw- I simplified it a lot (compared to previous versions) by adding lights at each intersection. There's always 1 in the middle and 1 on the side you need to go; did you realize it or did you just solve the labyrinth by trial and error ? also at some point I force players to do a big loop they can avoid with the lights; if you know the path there's quicker, but I didn't want to give away the shortest path too easily ^^

I did not completely solve the lights puzzle but I thing I would have if I had spent some time on it. Instead, I explored the paths with cam 7 and took the one with which I could find a CP. That's how I found the big wallride you're taking about and found the more direct path with the lights
Unfortunately as I did not finish the map I don't have the replay to show you my path :/
I'll probably give it another try now that you explained it to me, and try to see where I went wrong.

Oh boi .. in cam7 must have been a mess I know now which CP you skipped; the one and only "circle CP". Before reaching last CP you have to go straight to land in a circular CP, then do the final wallride. I'll change it with some appropriate boosters so that I can remove that circle CP (bad CPs anyway since you can't respawn) but are forced to do the wallride.

I remember passing by this ring CP during my cam 7 exploration, yeah it's probably the one I missed ! Feel free to PM me when the map is updated, I'll give it another shot

Updated the map with custom CPs (both for theme and to add numbers so you don't get lost ). Also made it slightly harder by removing a CP and pushing an helping beam forward between CP 3 and 4.
