    Crazy Eight: Created by Jelly I3elly

    Ok, before i get crucified for doing anything wrong with this map i would just like to let you know that this is my first race map ive ever made so go easy on me here.

    This map is just a simple figure 8 which spans across the ground layer of sandbox. It has the cheatproof go-to point, shield doors on the turns, bleachers to watch the action, and teleporters that take you back to start if you happen to fall of of the track. The Fx i used is Juicy. I know its just a simple track but i figured i could use this as a foundation to use for future race maps. So this is a good competive race map which is fun with a lot of people.

    Heres the pics

    Looks good for starting map. I'm guessing you wanted to go easy and not make those huge banked turns which I understand. It looks very smooth and races well. good job. 4/5

    you definitely have potential. most of the first tracks of people ive seen on here are trash but this isn't good interlocking and overall fairly smooth. now that you got this under your belt you can try something more adventurous

    How about you actually play it. Or at least read this:
    Spam, A Closer Look

    Spam is a serious issue here on our forums, something that is relatively disappointing. As we all know, the map section gets a lot of those "nice intarloking 5/5" comments. Some newer members seem to post such things regardless of warnings. Here are a few examples of comments that would be considered spam:

    • Nice interlocking, will que for dl right away!
    - Just because you promise to download does not make it an acceptable post.

    • 5/5, the merging in this map looks phenomenal!
    - Using big words does not mean that your post is any less spam.

    • Thanks for the comment!
    - Even though you might want to show your appreciation towards members posting on your map, it does not mean it's okay to bump your map with such spam.


    Specifically in the map forums, feedback on maps that:

    • Is composed of a single sentence
    • Includes a rating without reasonable justification
    • Shows no evidence of knowledge of the map in question other than that which can easily be seen from a glance at the pictures
    Will be deleted immediately by the moderators. Infractions will also be awarded for spam at their discretion under these same rules.

    The track isn't entirely even. The 8 is a little crooked. The ramp is a tad rocky going over it. The teleporters are so low that you could jump over it but you might be able to have the hill low enough so people can't cheat. I wouldn't know because I never use the actual racemap variant to play race maps. I like the idea but it seems like it might get really boring after the second lap. If I was going to do this, I might add in some more jumps or curve up the edges of the 8 so that you're doing a banked turn. Good job on your first map. Sorry that hardly any gives real criticism anymore.
