Hey I was Sorta wondering what i would use to make a surf map like the wedge tool? or Vertex Edit a cube? Could someone explain it to me or give me a good tut on how to make a surf map?
Tnx

Wedge, vertexing, clipping tool... whatever you like. Just use the one you work best with.

well how i get Ramps like in surf_sky like how they bend and stuff?

with vertex manipulation u can rearrange the vertices of a cube to make triangles then reform the triangles to create turns or just normal slides... i made a little picture tutorial a while back so i will upload it tonight or tomorrow for u... watch out for invalid structures

tnx man ^^ pls upload it if u can tnx.

there jsut a fun little thing some people enjoy like me and nice surf map mario it was fun

Fun maps are weird and pretty difficult to get the hang of actually. I've tested a few times and it's sort of fun.

Fun maps are well FUN! Me and Hunter had fun with this:

I just made a huge pipe that you fall down and fight or just free fall which is most entertaining and only took 10 minutes to make and optimize.For some reason this .gif screwed up in the uploading process...Probs because it was too big.

What if you changed a freefall map (that looks like a short-lived fun thing to me) to something with jump-pads, small transport tubes that quickly move you to other free-fall tubes, Halo-esque transporter beams that transport up (hey, how about a falling tube next to a floating tube? firing at people moving in a different direction...)?

I think freefall maps can be lived up a bit.
