zj_ maps

[Natalya]

Okay, some of y'all have played zm_natalyas_jump or zj_natalyas_jump which is the dark city map where you spawn on the skyscraper and parachute down to other buildings. If you fall you get teleported back to the spawn skyscraper. Or if you haven't, you may have played zm_area13_03 which has a city block and park as the main bit of the map, but you can teleport to the top of a skyscraper and parachute off of it... Anyway, I'm going to make more of these kinds of maps as a new zj_ maptype, which means Zombie Jump.

The basic premise is that humans camp on top of the lower buildings. Zombies must parachute to them, but humans try to shoot them away. I set the zombie health on these maps to 2000 to even the game. But yea, whatev. Do y'all like this style of gameplay? It's pretty unique because you're camping like a zm_ but you defend by shooting zombies away as opposed to climb camping or making a barricade. I know not everyone likes it but I think it could be a fun gametype if people give it a try.

Thoughts on this?

Admins you can switch to the map if you want to see it with console:
sm_map zj_natalyas_jump

Or try Area 13 which is in rotation.

this sounds like a great idea for a map. ZM gets old after a while...i'm up for playing ZJ maps

Ok i played your new map earlier this morning and i noticed a few things that i think should be changed or modified.
1) remove the props for this map glitches the helicopter and placing props in the teleporter cause players to glitch together
2) maybe have more large buildings maybe 2-4 rather than 1 while you have a clusterfuck of ppl trying to spawn and run into each other slowing every 1 down
3) add multiple teliporters to the spawn buildings (as is now a zombie or human can block the entrance of the teleporter making it difficult for gameplay.

other than that it looked good and is a good change of pace for zmod

Nat, I like most of your maps, but I really don't like these. Something about them seems boring to me.

[Natalya]

If only gun turrets worked well in CS:S... That'd make it real interesting. I'm gonna remove props on that map.

Ummm i must be missing alot cause i havent played any of those maps! but it sound fun from what i heard.... p.s. their should be flying attacking turtlessss=]

[Natalya]

This will be the second zj_ map. Right now Base Winter is in the hands of MoOnLiGht so I guess we won't have it done until she gets it back to me.

This new one will be in the evening. You parachute out of planes that circle the map.

[<JohnnyBoy>]

No cars or helicopter please that will lagg/crash the server!!!

[Natalya]

This won't have drivable vehicles. The planes will be on auto-pilot.

Beta is now available for admins...

sm_map zj_ocean_assault_beta

[Nubosal]

I jump for zj maps.
They're fun, and they destroy the monotony of the always played ze and zm, but playing them over and over can be boring. If you have time and ideas, make more of those maps.
Also, please, make the spawn building larger, and if possible, in the middle of map. Because people blocks and you can get a good spot.
PS: I like your knife skin

I finished the ocean one and it's way better than the skyscraper one. Once I make a third one I'll remove the original because it kinda sucks compared to the new one lol.

I am officially taking ideas for the third such map.

[Nemesis Breaker]

the third one could be set in 'nam or something

[kamikaze_bad_ass]

nat i hate to break it too ya but this map sucks balls
sm_map zj_ocean_assault_beta
it has no motives or direction and less ya have excellent parachuting ability's (i don't)
you never have a chance to make it to the flak gun or the ship out in the corner of map
all ya do is parachute to closest spot and either fall thou map to teleporter to a plane get glitched out or fall again and repeat
and even if you do manage to make it to a safe building ya have 15 - 20zombies in air coming at ya from all directions against 2 to 3 humans and ya don't stand a chance period

rounds last like 2 mins tops cause it's a massive zombie attack
from what i have seen everyone hates this map terribly even more than roy the ship and the end maps they all get rtved as soon as they pop up

[Natalya]

I don't suffer the n00bs for their inexperience. Learn to parachute strafe properly.
