Surf Map Example

I figured out. Here's steps:

1. Make a block 256 x 128 x 192. You probably should be able to switch the first 2.
2. Join the top vertices into the middle.
3. Use shear on the side (x/z) view to bend it. (or front (y/z) if you swapped the first 2 on step 1)
4. Repeat to make the whole slope.

Oh, and is it okay to make bends or will it screw up the whole surfing process?

Looks like fun, though =P

ya u can make bends. this is just a really simple example. go look at surf_spiral (i think thats what its called) the ramp bends in a spiral. so if u do it right it should work.

what exactly is a surf map

it's imposible to go to the end without lovering gravity...

ive made it to the end before

Nah, I think it's just REALLY hard and must be mastered even though I haven't even made it to the end.

rofl i surf in a clan and practice alot once u get the hang of it nothing in surfing is that hard just play a surf map for like an hour and ull get it (remember NEVER hold W when ur going down a ramp only hold down A or D)

I played surf_egypt and at first I didn't understand but you just gotta hold left or right depending on what side you are.

I admit though, perhaps lower the water a bit because I couldn't reach it

nice to see a fellow surf mapper on this site.. i make my slides a lot wider but thats just a suggestion... hope to see more of ur maps

When playing surf maps, remember these things:

1. sv_airaccelerate 100 is a must. Practically all surf servers use that or a similarly high value to allow the players more control in the air.
2. Don't set fps_max too high, even if you have a good monitor and want those FPS. GoldSrc physics are sensitive and you will get stuck in ramps if you have too many FPS.
3. W/Forward and S/Back are never used. Only press A or D depending on which side of the ramp you're on, keep it pressed, and use the mouse to steer.
