Remake a hldm map? Could knock it out in time to be played in Archie's server...

Hell yes. I really should attempt another HLDM map again, it's been too long. I have no idea's though.

Yes, however you interpret it. Just spiff it up and make it less "horrible".

Does it have to be for HLDM, or can it be for any game?

The point would be to shine up what's dull. Newer games probably have nicer levels to start with. I like the "remaking a level" in general but it would help if it's base map was recognizable/ if more people were familiar with the base map.

I would be down for this, but would be happier if it didn't have to be a remake ;)

If you wanted to push the remake theme, perhaps give a list of 8 or so popular dm maps you have to choose from?

I really want to remake a HLDM map in CSGO. Can my map be for any other game?

I think the point was to have a map jam for the server since we have one again. I wish it was teamplay or could be set to teamplay for certain maps. I also wish I had the time and energy to devise some kind of experimental free-for-all DM map type that worked and would be enjoyable.

I don't decide the competitions, this is just a place to discuss whatever you'd like it to be.

Looks pretty neat Rim! Hehe no one ever ended up using your team play templates :cry:

A remake would probably be easier. If it's a new map limits should be imposed - because of my chronic procrastination it took me months to complete dm_researchvessel. I doubt anybody completes a deathmatch map so fast unless it's small.

But with remakes there's one problem. People, imo, are not as familiar with many hl maps as they are with cs maps. I only know very well 2 or 3 maps.
Much more interesting would be for everyone to create another version of the same map - although this reduces variety.

I have to admit I am very tempted to rebuild subtransit after playing it again yesterday. One of my favorites. :glad:

I've done stalkyard before, but I'd probably do it again. No, bounce, I'd do bounce. Bounce plays awful imo, though it has a nice concept.

Subtransit is a great option, though it's already sort of nice. It could totally be spruced up though.

I love bounce, never had a problem with it. Love launching satchels with the bouncers, setting tripmines in screw-you locations, longjump-kamikazeing with grenades... okay, most of those apply to any of the maps, but I still like bounce.

I agree, it has a nice openness about it.

So, who would be in for this competition if it was hosted?

I'd try something if it wasn't for other stuff and Rooms: Source. :/

KOTH and CP for HLDM came far too late in it's lifetime to be useful or relevant. Its a shame, I worked so fucking hard inventing the triggerwork for them. :cry:

Don't worry Rimrook, you are one of the god kings of mapping in my eyes.

Also, CP. Fuck you 4chan for changing my mental associations of that term.

If we basically make it this competition, but for HLDM, I think we'd have a really good fun time.
That way Zeeba could do a bounce-styled map, but with his own layout to fix the gameplay problems, etc.

Make the theme recognisable, but still make it a new map.

"unofficial" no, just discussion. It would be nice if this scheme was used though as I see a few people agree with it.
