Surf_forbidden_tomb4

Well, my lastest map, and 100% sure that is my last work as mapper. I am done with mapping because i can't be more creative and/or original with this tool. Other reason is that i lost a lot of time making maps, i liked it, but i want to dedicate more time to my family, friends and girlfriend.

The map has 1:45 (aprox.) mins of speedsurfing... I allways wanted to make a non-stop surfing map, but i wasnt inspired. Now i could, and here is my best map ever.

I have 150 fps more or less in all the map...I promise i tried to optimize it with area_portals and hints and func_details, but its is a BIG room and it creates a lot of visleafs...sorry about fps's (PD: i have no video card, so i guess it is not so bad about fps's)

I have to give credits to Black Sheep, for make the bomb model, and specially to Katas. Katas made the awesome and ultra-complex jail system. I have to say thanks to few people that helped me with the map, like VAS clan ( Viciados al surf ), a spanish surf clan.

When you are teleported to jail, in 3 seconds, a few bombs ( Number fo players/2 ) are given randomly, and you have to pass it touching other guys. A red fade means that you have the bomb, Blue fade, menas you have not the bomb. You have 10 secs to pass it, or you will die .

This map ends DEFINITELY with an awesome saga of maps that gave me the oportunity of grow as mapper, ( and die  ). Thank you very much to Riddler, and Spliff.

This map ends with my work as mapper. Inside this 4th tomb i say goodbay to everyone, but you have to beat the map to see the end ^^.

I want to say thanks to that people that helped me a lot with the world of hammer editor: silverlol, untouchable, bravesurf, helix...and more, but specially Sangre, and people like billy has contributed a lot encouraging me to make more maps.

I cant leave mapping without give thanks to solidsurf forums, because i have learnt a lot here, and a lot of people helped me when i needed.

I am going to erase all the source sdk files, and i will leave SS forums. The first days od the tomb4 release, i will sign in the forum to see your coments ^^, but that's all.

Well that's all...i hope you can forgive my english fails. And i hope you enjoy this map as i enjoyed creating it.

Goodbay to everyone ^^.

Goodnight sweet prince, you will be missed but never forgotten <3


Edit: You die in the end? :'<

[Electric™]

Sad to see you go, hopefully we'll see you around every once and a while.

Anyways great job on the map. It's always great to end on a good note. Looks/gameplay is out of this world. 
This easily moves into my top 3 favorite maps! (Jail's brilliant!!)

Take care <3

[silverlol]

but real life > gaming, so i understand you.
i wish you the best of luck in the future, and hope that we can chat sometimes on steam!

im gonna miss you raps <3

You'll be back Maybe not with source, but once you start enviro design you'll always have to feel for it, wanting to do more. I bet within 3 months you'll be doodling map ideas again

The fps problem is due to the jail. If you play it on KSF, the fps loss won't happen because I took out all the stuff that makes you lag. (I have a 70 fps gain myself)

[Slasher]

Haarr Repso. You did it. First time i enjoyed surfing again after a few months.
I've really taken one hour to end this map, just couse it's awesomness.
Really, the surf is fucking epic. Just love it.
Bad to see you going ):
But a great mapper leaves with one of the (for me) greatest surf maps.
Good Luck in your RL mate (:

[DESE]

I haven't been as long in the surf world (since 2008) as most here, and I've only been 18 hours total time logged in on SolidSurf,
But I sure thinks it's sad that Rapsodia is leaving.

But once you feel like you had enough, then you had enough so yea...

I think there should be a new collab map about Rapsodia, like 'In memoria' but not RIP shit cause he's not dead.
If anyone would feel like starting such project, I would be happy to make a stage (or anything else if it's maybe a linear) .

Farewell

[FAJ]

We don't really get too sentimental about these things. People come and go often. They also often come back. Sometimes it takes a couple months, sometimes it takes a year or 2 or 3.

Mapping definitly takes a lot of time, so its good to get your priorities straight. Spending more time with loved ones trumps video games. Have fun out there.

[Billy]

This map is outstanding rapsodia
maan, not cool that you stop mapping
u became rly pro man, anyway awesome map to stop your carreer

<33

Yeah, i've played it on ksf now no lagg!
it's simply an awesome map. i cant think of one negative thing to say.. it's just hard enough to make some progress for each run, and i love that i havent beaten it yet. keeps it interesting great job rapso!^^
