It can be very simple to fix this... but would default all your key bindings. Unless, of course, there was someway to use a custom bindset without unbinding all your default ones.

Lots of fun, great promise, hope you find a way to rebind keys in map so that we can use WASD like we would in Mario
Feels pretty fine except for the controls issue, were I had to press up to move forward and down to move backward (I did have this instance where I can press back/forward like it's intended but can't replicate it). I like this as an interesting concept!

Could you at some point release the setup for this map so others can make them?

Good work. I have some suggestions
1- The player can be pushed by the same entity that pushes the spycrabs. If its a trigger_push, put a filter for red. If it's a func_conveyor, use a func_respawnvisualizer so red players can stand on it without being pushed by the conveyor.
2- Give the player the option to choose which keys to bind. You can let them choose when they are on first person.
3- Use the setangle command to change the orientation of the scout every time he wants to go forwards/backwards.
For example:
Bind +scout_right and +scout_left for moving the scout
4- The camera is messed up if you restart the map. Before going thirdperson when the map starts, make the player go firstperson first, it should fix the problem.
5- It would be nice if the scout says voice commands after killing a spy-crab or finishing the level
So far, the game looks very interesting

alias -scout_right "-forward"

alias -scout_right "-forward"Bind +scout_right and +scout_left for moving the scout

Sweet Jesus, coming from you that means alot. I fixed the first point and fifth points. Thank you so much for the advice regarding camera and binds.

Some quick bugs I found.
You should lower this platform so you can get on top of it.
The lift kind of traps you down here if you get caught under it.
Taunting of course brings you to first person, but when getting killed by a spycrab, the whole camera gets flipped on respawn.

Expanding upon Washipato's idea, I'd suggest two configs (.cfg) that come with the map:
ssb_start.cfg
Code:
alias +scout_right "setangle 0 0 0;+forward"
alias -scout_right "-forward"
alias +scout_left "setangle 0 180 0;+forward"
alias -scout_right "-forward"
bind a +scout_left
bind d +scout_left
map super_scout_bros_a0ssb_end.cfg
Code:
bind a +moveleft
bind d +moverightThe former is execed, setting up binds and loading the map, the latter resets the binds to normal.
That assumes the player both uses WASD (many down) and that they will exec the second config (can't rely on the map to do it)

Just tried it, works a lot better than I expected.
Things to fix:
- The previously mentioned control issue. Won't go into that, you've heard it already.
- I find it rather peculiar that my guns does bugger all... Perhaps you could include some enemies that require being shot? Or, if you manage, make the guns damage all enemies, but start out with 0 ammo, and you get ammo as a "power up", like you'd get the fire flower in Super Mario.
- Some issues concerning the camera that need fixing. Specifically, camera defaults to 1st person if you taunt; defaults to a "third person over the shoulder" if you try to switch class and get "re-changed" (and which point I managed to equip the FaN for triple jumping...) etc. But these are all things you'll iron out as you go.
- Sometimes when spycrabs kill you, they die/disappear as well. Mutually assured destruction...
- Not an "error" per say, but might be fun to include sandvichs as health pick ups... Or maybe introduce the heavy as a tougher enemy, and make him drop one when killed.
Ultimately, I'm just waiting for this to get bigger and better. Lots of potential here.

Tested this yesterday but my internet was going haywire so I couldn't post :/
Love the new spycrabs. There was still 1 time when one of the spycrabs died with me when I bumped into him, but only happened once and I haven't been able to reproduce the bug... so...yeah.
That said, I'm pretty sure this isn't supposed to happen:
I am now able to load any load out weapon I want for my scout (FaN, Bonk drink, Sandman) by exploiting a little glitch:
- Load the map while wearing your default loadout.
- Get killed and switch weapons BEFORE you respawn.
- Switch to any class.
- Wait till you respawn as scout.
- ????
- Profit
This doesn't work if you restart the map and get the weird-glitched out "over the shoulder" camera though, so you have to disconnect and reload the map entirely.
Also, in this version of the map you can't backtrack after a certain point without the FaN, since the scout can't jump as high... This means that if you miss a jump, you're forced to take the other route, which is annoying... Another design issue that I'm sure you'll fix later is that it's currently possible to just "jump over" the entire level. Going from rooftop to rooftop without ever touching the ground... Which is ok if there are enemies or challenges up there too.
Loving it so far though.
