Description:
Two teams (red and blue), like CTF mode.

Your team must send(kill) enemies to jail(a jail room).

Note: The enemies are sent to the jail in YOUR base.

Once every enemy player is in jail, the match ends and the other team wins the round.

Teammates can use a switch(near/on the jail room wall) to free their teammates.

The final winning team is the one with the most points.

Note: Players can run around inside the jail room, and look out the barred gate(door), and barred windows.

What's new (2013-05-14)
For those people that don't know, I got a moderator (from [bad site]) to develop a new JailBreak mod.

He's finished the preliminary work for it, and we're in need of a mapper to create a map for testing.

We have plans for using CTF maps as well, from the idl2013l.wad pack. (We heard from a moderator(of Zandronum) that this is acceptable(many mods have ripped/used CTF maps)).

We need a mapper to create a JailBreak map, either a) from scratch, or b) chosen from idl2013l.wad pack(and change flag room into a jail room).

If you decide to do a CTF map/conversion, then please pick one of the following maps to use: map04, map06, map13, map14, map24, map26, map27, map31, mb1, or mb3.

Mapping notes(I don't know what these means):
- Like CTF map, but change Flag area to be a Jail room.
- Use UDMF mode.
- Switch(releasing jailed players) uses a "line special" for "ACS execute" of 900.
- Teammates that are freed from jail, will be instantly teleported back to YOUR base.

(If you cannot do UDMF mode, and then feel free to do just a regular-mode jailbreak map and we'll work with that.)

^^ same.

Nobody really knows what this mod is about. Unless you give a clear and valid explanation and not just say "I need mappers please", nobody's going to map for you.

EDIT: In that case, I'll see what I can whip up for a map.

JailBreak is a Teamgame bearing some resemblance to Team Last Man Standing. Each team starts in its own base (with pistols, as in Deathmatch; not all weapons like stock LMS). They equip themselves with armor and armaments and sally forth to kill the enemy. On dying, a player respawns inside a "jail" typically located within the enemy base. When all players of a team have been captured, the opposing team scores a point and the map resets for the next round. Unlike Last Man Standing, uncaptured players can free their teammates from jail, usually by pressing or shooting a sequence of switches. The freed players will be able to leave the jail, but will have to find new weapons to continue the fight. (EDIT: Apparently not in this version; see below.)

Sorry, I assumed everyone knew about this mod because there are three releases of it for Doom.
1) efjailv1.73-fixed1.25, 2) jailbreak2.0_beta1.1.wad, and 3) jailbreakl6.wad
I've looked at these, and they're wrong.

I've updated my original post with more information(including description) now.

I also added "- Like CTF map, but change Flag area to be a Jail room." to the mapping notes.



JailBreak is a teamplay mod.

Basically, your team must send(kill) enemies to jail(a jail/prison room).

Note: The enemies are sent to the jail in YOUR base.

Once every enemy player is in jail, the match ends.

Teammates can use a switch(near/on the jail room wall) to free their teammates.
Sorry, forgot to add mapping note "- Teammates that are freed from jail, will be instantly teleported back to YOUR base."

By the way, "efjailv1.73-fixed1.25" is not in any way related to the "JailBreak" mode. It is a completely different concept, where (as far as I can tell) there's a "prisoners" team and a "prison guards" team, and the prisoners start in their cells and attempt to escape.

Hmm I thought you were talking about polishing and updating Voltlock's JailBreak mod from raven's battle chest, which works just like Qent explained.
Unfortunatelly Efjail is basically a counter-strike wad.
