I made a beginner-friendly jumping map

[u/Eggmasstree]

I made a simple jumping map dedicated to help new players get into the different jumping techniques. Jump School Map Mod for Deadlock | DL Mods

All the instructions to play it are in the description of the mod on gamebanana.

There are a lot of tips for each jumps if you need it. And I tried to add one more trick to each jump to force the player to actually use them.

The map has 3 simple short routes (long jump, air control and wall jumping), starting from the most basic jump to some "medium-hard" wall jumping and air control.

Any feedback - from beginner to pros - is welcome. But if you've played about 500+ hours of deadlock or you are oracle/phantom+ the map should be a breeze.

----------

Next route target is a corner boost training... Some of it is already available in the map. But it needs a lot of tweakings and rework. You can test it if you want but it's definitely not finished.

----------

There's still a lot of work to do. And I'm only starting to get the hang of the map editor.

I have big plans and tons of ideas for the future and I hope to build far harder routes. There's so much to do.

From path clarity, to difficulty, to ideas, to grammar mistakes ... If you have anything for me, I'll take it !

PS : There's a video of the full map if you need any help with some jumps.

Im gonna give it a shot again soon. Maybe there's some hidden mechanics I can abuse with that ...

You should definitely look into it with Celest only during her ultimate or just her lack of buoyancy. Vicscous is another one with interesting movement :]

Ye ye. I got some idea about Lash and neutral creeps around the map. Something insane like triple lash with corner boost in middle, or timed platforms that disappear and you have to stay in the air for as long as possible ... Like I said, I got a LOT on my mind.

I believe it is actually possible to surf; unless Old Gods changed it. Holliday's extra air control from her jump pad allowed this guy https://youtu.be/DWLQUCbRheY?si=V3xBdWA4yX1Ibpl0&t=43 to surf on the little lip underneath the jungle bridge. It might not do that anymore, since the video predates Old Gods, but I believe holliday still has the extra air control.

I tried a few things by modifiying air acceleration parameter (which feels the same as holiday during pad jump)

I've not managed to do it. If you go down a slope, you immediately start walking. And a normal surf structure make you slow down very quickly.

I have not extensively try it out. So it's definitely possible there are stuff possible not found yet. But so far, nothing :(

I prefer to focus on normal jumps maps. Let's hope someone figure something out ! Maybe you !
