Team Fortress Classic concmaps

2009-02-20 12:55:23 pm

I have a feeling that this would not work within SDA guidelines, but I figure I'll give it a shot and see whether it would be possible to accept speedruns of conc/rocket/pipe jumping maps from Team Fortress Classic. Ever since concs-r-us.com went down, there hasn't really been a site to gather these demos.

So, hopefully if there is enough interest, this can happen. Obviously there would have to be some kind of rules regarding when to start/end the timer, whether uncapped bhop is allowed or not, etc. But that can be discussed later. First I need to see whether this is a plausible idea, or if i need to keep dreaming Grin

If anyone wants an example of what these speedruns would be like, check out this link

I used to be athiest until I realized I was God.

I remember having a lot of fun with these levels....

I assume it'd be the same rules as Custom maps on Quake. Unfortunately, I have no idea what those rules are.

fuck you i wont do what you tell me

I have no idea how the Custom Quake maps work, but if concmaps were put in, TF2 Scout, Soldier & Demoman maps would have to be put in as well (and there are a helluva lot of them, a ton of them being really horrible).

I'd be for it if only the higher quality maps were put in (for example, in TF2, Jump_Speed, the hobos, WDF Scout (though I hate this map, it's well made for running), Excavation, the skyscrapers, Khoa, suburban, RJ Rocketeer and Advanced, Propel).

You could go around the internets and find the guys that go by "bob +M|M+" and "HobosRus". They used to be on Joe.to servers (though I think those servers are gone now) and they are inhuman at these maps, at both making and running them.

I haven't done jump maps in a while, so this is a bit out of date, but most of these maps are pretty high quality.

I know what you mean about there being a ton of these maps. I have hundreds of concmaps myself, which is why im not very optimistic about it being accepted on SDA. I wasn't even aware of these TF2 jump maps, since im not a TF2 player myself, but I guess if these have already been turned down, then concmaps would be too. I think the biggest problem would be an overflow of submissions, given the sheer number of maps there are. TFC is a fairly small community nowadays, however.

The main thing i want is some competition on these runs again and a place to organize and record them, like concs-r-us.com when it existed several years ago. This may not be the place for it though, especially since I don't know how much of the TFC skills community actually views these forums Grin

TF2 Scout Update Spoilers Ahead

Now that it has been pretty much confirmed that the new Shotgun replacement unlock will have knockback that allows for a "triple jump" effect (see the little bit in today's update news), won't a lot , if not all current scout jump maps be broken? Sure we'll have to wait and see exactly how it preforms (along with the engergy drink as well) but I have a feeling it will ruin the original intentions of scout courses. If somehow TF2 custom level runs are allowed, would banning the use of this new gun, (and maybe engergy drink) be possible? I'm sure new (and hopefully better) scout courses will crop up after the update, but I doubt all of the old ones will be changed to accomodate. Hopefully some of the better ones will

But anyway, I'd love to see some TFC and TF2 custom runs make it on the site.

these maps, when made by the right people, don't take too long to make. The current scoutjump maps will just be modified or remade.
