surf_gradient

Description
Surf map Tier 1-3. Tier 1 staged map with shortcuts of increasing difficulty making it a tier 3 map. Map inspired by kitsune (1 and 2) and omnific with the goal to provide a high quality map with good visuals that can be played by low teir players and high tier players alike! Thank you to the creators of these maps nyro, qr, checkem and Arblarg.

console settings:
-sv_enablebunnyhopping
-sv_airaccelerate 150
-sv_accelerate 10
-sv_noclipspeed 15
-sv_maxvelocity 10000

Map created by Hippy.
Original tester: Aussiekamikazi


Major Update, multiple improvements added based on feedback by fellow surfers and map makers:
- Added seemless checkpoints to make the easy surf route a staged map
- added automatic server commands to input surf settings, kick bots and increase the round time limit
- opened up the skybox during "outside portions" for improved visibility
- reduced square grid envmap reflections for improved visibility on 540 spiral section
- smoothed the roof on the 540 spiral section
- increased the number of directional arrows to help direct first time runs
- modified the easy route ending to be more forgiving
- updated the generic envmap and created cubemaps for non ramp surfaces
- reduced the height on some triggers to allow for closer runs
- created a loading screen overlay
- modified a handful of ramps to make the map flow more smoothly
- fixed up a few minor UV mapping issues and highlighted ramp glitches

Special thanks to Shadow Sheep for heaps of feedback, improvement ideas and testing the changes. Thank you to granis_ for your feedback and to Biji for the easy route showcase video.

Hey JampS, granis ported the map to CSS if that is what you are requesting. He submitted it to ksf servers, not sure if they have published it or not.

Hey Dromedar, that is really cool that you made some music for the map! I can definitely blend those beats with cruising through surf_gradient :)

Thank you for sharing it is really nice to see my little bit of creativity inspire someone else to create. Keep it up mate.

i played this map for the longest period in the past year, inspired me musically in ways i can't even describe :D made a beat dedicated to this map, and even named it surf gradient :))

Hey man, just wanted to let you know that I have over 5k hours playing surf, I've easily played over 600 maps and this is my favorite map out of all of them. The design, the smoothness, the creativity and the visuals, I love it. My wr on it is 3:10 :)

Thank you!
