Christmas In Jinglin' Town
By: [SBF]DannBoeing and Co.
Map Description:
In the snowy little town called Jinglin' Town, it's christmas every single day. What is there to do other than open presents? Snowball fights. All weapons have been modified to shoot snowballs, presents, candycanes, and of course Beer. The town is in a small rural-ish area surrounded by snowy forest and a frozen lake. Up on the higher part of town up the hill there is also a more rustic area. There are a couple cabins as well in the forest. There is a small park by the town with a frozen pond and bridge. You can even enter some house to find a nice, warm, cozy place to take a break from all the snowball fighting. Some houses have snowmen and christmas trees on their front lawns. Snowmen can also be placed as autoturrets that throw snowballs at people. There are also drivable cars and trucks that shoot beer and snowballs. Instead of Health/Ammo droids there are piles of snowballs to recharge both health and ammo.
Mode Description:
Jinglequest (Conquest)
This mode covers the whole map except the snowball fighting arena. Here you can play with Jinglified star wars troopers. Santa and Santa's evil twin are heroes.
Snowball Fight (Hunt)
Fight Jawas vs Ewoks or Jawas vs Christmas Elves all in Jinglin' costume. You fight in the special snowball fighting arena with two forts on either side, and one center post in the middle. There are various sizes of snowballs as well as snowmines for the offense units on each team. There are snowballs, placeable snow-walls, and placeable defense snowmen for the defense units.
Other Features:
I (again with the help of Phazon_Elite) have set up a custom sound lvl with jolly christmas music. You can also run people over with the cars
There is a little secret area that's not hard to find for those of you that like secret areas in my maps. There are also secret sniper spots in the snowball arena.Bugs/Issues: As always, there are few glitches with the ground textures since the game is easily overloaded with them. The collision on the car is a little glitchy and extends out farther than the car, so its only enterable on the sides. Warning: The AI of course have never been on earth before and have NOT learned how to drive, so they will often skid off the road hitting a lamp post. Some effects such as the blizzard and candycane effects may disappear depending on your computer's visual memory. Slower CPU's might have trouble with the amount of objects in the map causing slight lag, but i toned down the seeing distance so you shouldn't have any trouble with that. Some may crash, if this happens, try playing it in 1.0 or redownloading/installing. Stability in multiplayer may vary.

Saying that this is just another Dann Boeing map would be even more boastful and arrogant than I already am
. So please take into consideration all the people who helped me with this map (and there was a ton of help so this is probably gonna take up half the readme).[GT]FragMe! - A modeling guru who made/imported/exported many models present in this map including: the Big 3-story Swiss Chalet model, the Toyota Camry and Ford Explorer models, the Christmas Tree & Lights, Picket Fences, Street lamp models, 1 Present model, Snow-Walls, Pile of Snowball health/recharge stations. Without him this map would not have been possible.
[GT]Caleb1117=SotG=- A modeling expert who made/imported many models in the map including: 2 enterable houses, 1 enterable cabin, snowball models, the road tile models, and many of the house decorations such as the widescreen TV's. Again without him this map would not have been possible.
[GT-B]{97th}Thunder - A great modeler who made many models in the map including: Santa Player Model (modified dooku model that I skinned), Present Models (I scaled em to different sizes), Ice sheet model, beer bottle model, and a Snowman-with-a-sword model that I was unfortuneately unable to use in the map because of it's glitchiness.
Challenger33 - Made the Metal Bar Fence model, as well as making a Ford Explorer model that was unable to be textured (I used FragMe's model instead).
Egg_Guts - Made the Famous Snowman model that i used in the map both as a prop and an autoturret.
Eddie/Squeddie/Saturn - Made various models like the cabin models as well as the Smokestack and Windmill Models, as well as a good deal of interior models like lamps, chairs, and paintings.
MandeRek - Made the Santa-Hat addon that i placed on several models.
Phazon_Elite/Ironclad - A soundz guru who made the custom Sound.LVL for my christmas music soundtrack...yet again.
And thanks of course to all the people who gave help and offered to help with the map on Gametoast.
Also, I apologize ahead of time to anyone I forgot to mention in the credits, which is possible and even likely as I have an absolutely terrible memory for these things.
Happy Holidays and Enjoy!!!!
i'v been waiting for this so long! i'll try it out inmidietly!
