I hope you guys enjoy this as much as i enjoyed makeing it.

In Version 2
More CPs.
Bigger area.
Sniper Towers.
Fixed Lights.
More Health and Amoo packs.
Navigateable Cameras while dead.

hmm, a very small map for our servers, 32 players on this map would not work imo. there are a couple of missing textures too, around the resupply signs and the capture point floor.

But, it is a good attempt for your first map, fix the textures and make it bigger and we may try it on server 2

Sweet. I will get this fixed during the week, if i can. Also its a massive question, how the snap do i fix the mising textures as i have no idea. I believe that i have fixed the ones on the lights in the ramps but i am stumped with the ones on the roof, the shotgun cases and the snipers scoop.

screenies?

had a look....
no missing textures here, guess I just have them.....

but way to small :no:

... but always good to see anyone interested in mapping :D

I've mapped for CS and CZ... think I may give TF2 a go

You could upload it to FPSBanana. :)

I'll have a look at it. Comments to follow.

EDIT: OK, just tried it. I liked it. It would be nice to have a "King of the Hil" style map on the server. Here's a few of my opinions.

1) Everyone so far says it should be bigger. Maybe a bit longer and a bit more in width?

2) I have the missing textures, too. I see the CP as purple and the signs faded purple.

3) A way to get to the roof of the spawn areas without going outside. Some ramps or stairs or even ladders (carpo has some that work well). It'll help with all the chaos.

4) The doors should open upwards. It's just something that annoys me personally that you can't exit/enter until it's all the way open.

5) Maybe a setup time in the spawns? Or walls seperating the two teams at the beginning? Might be interesting.

6) Needs more detail, but the concept, shape and look are good as of right now. :)

On your DA, it says you want to make it bigger. Maybe you could make this to be a KOTH map and use it as a basis for a bigger CP one. :)

Those are my thoughts. Nice map. Gets my approval.

Ok, i have read all of the comments and i have decided to do what Michale has suggested. I will make it into a KOTH map, also the reason why the doors open downwards is because if the opend upwards then the doors would be sticking out of the roof. I will also make it so that both teams can get to the sniper spots quicklyon both sides. Im not sure how i will do this but i will give anything a go. Also i am honoured to possibly have a map on your servers. :mrgreen:

Edit - I would have uploaded it to FPS Bannana but i needed to take some screenshots... which is why i was asking in the chat box how you turn the HUD off and then to get a program that lets me look at them.

is F5 not screenshot? puts it in your cstrike dir (or it did in 1.6)
if not: bind f5 screenshot

I think there was some command in 1.6 to turn the hud off, but there might even be something in the settings dialog in source to do it.

Console Commands
Another very useful tool when taking screenshots is the console. I would recommend starting a new game, without bots. I will now explain useful commands, and why they are useful. The console can be accessed by pressing ~, which is found above tab. Use of the console may need to be activated in the advanced keyboard settings.

sv_cheats 1
allows the user to tweak the game using cheat commands.

jpeg_quality 100
allows the user to take screenshots in a higher quality. Default screenshot is F5 key, but can be changed in the options.

cl_drawhud 0
removes the Heads Up display, also known as 'hud.' This includes crosshair, ammunition, and money. It makes the image look more clean.

Some commands to remember when taking screenshots or movies are:
“cl_drawhud 0” will turn off the HUD
impulse 200 will make your weapon disappear.

Also i am honoured to possibly have a map on your servers. :mrgreen:



as i said we MAY put it on the servers, but it will need to be improved first. What we might be able to arrange is a play test once you have changed a few things so you know what to tweak, for future versions.

I do realise this but i guess i shouldnt get my hopes up.
