Twins' Epic Cup Revival

One level and One period of burnout done later, the cerv.id map is finished.

Aaaaaaaaanyways:
Changelog:
General:
+ Added subtractive numbers to Aqua Paradise and Heaven Pass in order to improve readability

Aqua Paradise:
* Fixed the secret exit door constantly lowering continuously as long as each CPU passes the finish line.
+ Added more springs to make getting there a bit easier

Nightlit Woods:
* Misc. Texture Fixes

Storm Station:
* Spaced out some dash pads at the first trick jump to prevent it from accidentally sending you past the spring and into the pit.
+ Added pillars to the outside area as a means to improve optimization.
+ Added sneaker panels to the side of the big slope after the corkscrew to help players up after they've been screwed over by a trap placed just after the corkscrew
* If you eat the red spikes, you now respawn at the finish line instead of just before the jump.
* Misc. Texture Fixes
Before I dive deep into the mapping trenches for cerv.id's RR map jam, let's fix some dumbass mistakes I overlooked when developing v1.

Changelog:
Heaven Pass:
* Fixed an issue where the dash springs at the end of the course were too low, causing you to hit the wall and fall to lower places.
* Fixed a rare issue where bumping the left wall on the first shortcut whilst Grown will cause you to be indefinitely launched up in the air until Grow ends.
* Raised the right wall on the first shortcut just in case the new left wall bounces players in an unfortunate direction.

Command Facility:
- Removed the loop 😔
(Welp, the experiment was nice while it lasted, It may also fix the issue of the stage crashing the game on entrance, but if this is not the case, then I'm not sure what's causing it. Grab the .RPT and make an issue on KKD's Gitlab).
- Removed a few more Blue Spheres
* Misc. Texture Fixes
  • Cool!
Reactions: Saturn Ross
Maybe it'll be soon be time to stop updating these maps and see what new stuff I can make.


Changelog:
General:
+ Staff Ghosts, for almost every stage! Beat them if you can!
+ Added Past

Aqua Paradise Zone:
+ Added a secret warp only accessible in GP.
Hint: On the 2nd lap
Climb the sacred temple
The door will open to those worthy

Mega Aqua Paradise Zone:
* Quickly checked and insured that all pits act as pits (hopefully)

Ante Station Zone:
* Rebalanced the first shortcut to be more viable
* Got rid of a *potential* ultra shortcut
* Slightly redesigned the second shortcut to be closer to the original v!SRB2 stage
* Removed the poles close to the loop and replaced them with walls that deny access to the loop from the very edge. Also doubles as a means to prevent people accidentally skipping the loop
+ Added horizontal springs just before the loop to both serve as a movement option *and* make trapping the loop less viable
* Made one of the last shortcuts easier to traverse whilst still giving the same benefits as before
* Lowered a slope on the hardclimb slalom to make the rings a more viable option
! Unfortunately the portals aren't coming back until HWR2 becomes a thing in later versions for various reasons. Mostly graphical epilepsy related.


Heaven Pass Zone:
* Adjusted some misaligned textures
* Made the first sneaker panel more visible
* Adjusted the items at the halfpipe, replaced orbis/jawz with sneakers
* Lowered the position of the Sink and Pogo Spring
+ Readjusted some minimap markers with a new minimap to boot
+ Partially readded the Easter Egg
! For those of you familiar with the old easter egg, it had to be nerfed thanks to Console_Execute likely having more restrictions than before. (probs for good reason since console scripts can fuck up ones cfg)
+ Added a new sneaker-only path to the trick spring section
* Added some endcut prevention?

Nightlit Woods Zone:
* Fixed an issue where you can spindash into a rogue slope in order to launch yourself over a cliff, skipping the second tripwire
* Added extra signage to the top part of the lake
* Moved a dashpad at the bottom part of the lake
* Restored some cliff details from the Kart version of the pack
(Sector detail doesn't play too nice with this engine so lmk if the new visuals lag the game for you.)
* Misc. texture fixes

Storm Station:
* Reduced the speed at the trick spring section for more consistency
* Lowered/Added some signs at the first low gravity section
* Moved the second shortcut closer to the U-turn to better signpost it
* Slightly increased the width of the second horseshoe turn
* Slightly decreased the length of the third horseshoe turn after the corkscrew
* Added a pole among other things at the third horseshoe turn to improve visibility
* Added a low LOD texture for the spikes for those not playing on Infinite Draw Distance
* Said spikes are red now too, to signify that they instantly kill you
* Done some misc. skybox fixes for the Encore Palette
Changelog:
Storm Station:
* Quick hotfix for a few missing pits again
Don't worry about it :threat:
Changelog:
General:
+ Added Storm Station Zone
+ Added Gallery as a placeholder Special Stage
* Made the endcut prevention stuff more visible
* Converted some levelpics from PNGs to Doom Grafx. Can't believe I missed that @-@
! Cup is now fully playable start to finish

Aqua Paradise Zone:
* Revamped the arena area with rainbow rings. RIP Geyser.
* Misc. visual enhancements/texture alignments
* The two sneaker panels at the start now glow
* The biggest double waterfall now covers more area
* Revamped the level select pic & fixed the finish line on the minimap

Mega Aqua Paradise Zone:
* Fixed some missing death planes. Again.

Ante-Station Zone:
* Fixed the finish line on the minimap
* Added an impassable linedef to the windowed U-turn
* Blocked the lightsnake at the loop for fairness sake

Entryway:
+ Added a new track! Entryway from DOOM CD32x Fusion by Some Spoony Bard.

Heaven Pass Zone:
* Hopefully fixed the final few missing death planes in this map.
* Moved back the second tripwire a bit to prevent cheese.
* Moved the waypoints closest to the halfpipe wall away a bit to prevent possible jank.
* Extended the finish line past its bounds.
* Fixed inconsistent gargoyle sizes above the finish line structure

Nightlit Woods Zone:
* Misc. visual fixes

Command Facility Zone:
* Fixed missing death pits over the acid (again)
* Decreased the size of the stage
- Dramatically removed a bunch of the blue spheres in the stage
* Fixed a texture conflict with Chemical Facility Zone
Cannot wait to get to the next one tbh :threat:

Changelog:
General:
+ Added Command Facility Zone
+ Added EndCut Prevention Measures™️ to both Ante-Station and Nightlit Woods

Mega Aqua Paradise:
* (Hopefully!) Fixed an issue where crashing into the offroad at the edge of the finish line and then crawling back over the finish line would cause you to accidentally skip said finish line, causing waypoint issues in the process.
+ Added ramps around the tripwire to prevent people from accidentally bypassing it by using the speed from the horizontal springs beforehand.

Ante Station:
* Adjusted the springs at the start to be more chaotic :^)

Nightlit Woods:
* Replaced the charger panel at the end of the lake area to avoid charger top steals.
* Nerfed the first two tripwires by reducing offroad for both of them. You can still bypass them both in one fell swoop, it's just much more difficult to do so now.
  • Cool!

Changelog:
Aqua Paradise:
* Hotfixed an issue where you could softlock in the underwater area
  • Cool!
Reactions: Saturn Ross
Yep.
The other one is in the lost n found.
Changelog:
General:
+ Added Mega Aqua Paradise Zone
+ Added Nightlit Woods Zone
* Updated the MUSICDEF to more accurately credit the authors and use the right names

Aqua Paradise Zone:
* Gave up on solving the problem of the quarter pipe leading into the arena by adding dash rings on the apex of the slope
* Moved the dash pad further back in the arena area to prevent a situation where you could trick *after* going through the turbine
* Fixed an issue where respawning through the turbine would cause the player to enter a ghost like state, causing them to walk through walls and ignore slope physics altogether.
! The arena area is bound to get revamped at some point. It's given me nothing but issues ever since its inception.
* Changed the item boxes to ringboxes on the upper path cut to ensure that the rest of the cut can't be bagged.
* Moved forward the bubble shield to the Dash Rings so the cache of rings beforehand could be used.

Ante-Station Zone:
* Fixed a few misaligned textures
* Buffed the fastfall bounce shortcut considerably
* Slightly nerfed the item cut at the asteroid segment and gave proper signage to hopefully get more people up there
* Buffed the ring boxes at the end of the steep ramp on the asteroid segment

Heaven Pass Zone:
* Fixed the golden arch FOFs being the wrong height
* Fixed being able to respawn above the pit at the halfpipe
* Fixed being able to squeeze through the grey springs with shrink
  • Cool!
Reactions: Saturn Ross
Changelog:
General:
+ Added stage: Heaven Pass Zone

Aqua Paradise:
+ Redesigned the Arena Jump to make it so you can't miss the jump
* Finally fixed the bots during POSITION so they finally move towards the finish line when the race starts.
* Got rid of a bunch of visual bloat and empty space in the underwater area to save fps. The FPS during the underwater area is now mostly doubled!
(Most of it was stuff that you can't see during normal gameplay, visual quality should otherwise be unimpacted)
(Could honestly go a bit further with this, but please lmk if your fps is better or not there. Could still chug, but should otherwise be improved)
* Improved the dash rings at the end of the first shortcut
* Made the windows Impassable instead of making them respawn you
* Fixed an issue where the underwater area would display the wrong sky when viewing a replay
- Removed a Dash Ring at the end of the double shortcut to prevent slamming players into a wall.

Entryway:
+ Replaced the Music with Doom II Mashup - Stuart Rynn (sorry @/Yoshi for not taking up your suggestion sooner!)
* Fixed an issue where some of the capsules can only be hit from certain angles

Known Issues:
! Heaven Pass easter egg isn't working yet for reasons I'm not sure of, if anyone has a clue, please DM me on Discord or the MB, ty.
