An amazing example of the Func_tankmortar! Beatifully and carefully constructed! I played this for like an hour--using CS!--to practice destroying the tank's driver with an AWP and grenade. Simply excellent!
The only thing I might change, is the tanks yaw/pitch range when you have user control, as you can getstuck if the barrel runs into you.

in vault item: Spawning StuffComment #10057
I got problem with an other type of spawning. "Clone spawning" You hide an NPC somewhere in the map, and then, you set out a points that copies that certain NPC and spawns the copies. Great if you need them to do stuff after spawn. But I can't figgure out how. :S

Puzzle 1: Hard at first, but easy when you know how to do it Puzzle 2: You can skip it in about three different ways, but again easy when you know how Puzzle 3: My personal favourite, although it can be done in under 5 seconds... (or be completely) skipped Puzzle 4: Made me feel ill, and why bother putting invisible pillars in the middle? 'Puzzle' 5: Pointless... Next Puzzle 6: Idea good, done badly, doesn't work like the movie.
Overall some good and bad ideas. Try using a clip brush more on railings cause i could skip puzzles 2,3,4 by jumping them. I can complete the game in under 30 seconds this way... can anyone beat that?

Well I don't like remakes, but this one.. Well it was nice.. ******************* + Architecture. Not bad, you've kept most of the original assault stuff with some of your custom additions, which looked quite ok. + Texturing. It was good mainly, although some of the house textures outside were a tad overused, imo. + Ambience. The music was a nice touch. Making it louder would have been better. It could have been loud enough to hear it in the whole warehouse.. ********************* +/- Extra Xmas stuff. Not so bad, the lights were a nice touch, although there could have been more.. ************************ I didn't rate gameplay and layout, because it's the same as in assault. Not a bad christmas remake, imo... Good work

Not too much changes, except that you added another catwalk and a buyzone.. Well the map is much better balanced now.. Perhaps some bounce pads to allow the player to get from one plat to another? Your choice.. Feel free to move this map to the finished map vault for more comments from other TWHLers..

Not bad.. The B&W effect was ok.. Why not make some traps? Like you could fall off the edge of the map into the white void, or like some white or black areas could be func_illusionary, thus making the player fall down.
The gameplay was ok, so was the layout.. Nice work

IT'S WORKS.... In the zip file you have a map "changelevel" and in that map you have a readme.txt read and install correct and IT`S WORKS. And it?s works in Steam and in old HL. Tlax

I've worked some stuff out, and I will update the map soon. I Have -
+Fixed 4 spawn points +Added damage to acid (very minor) +Got rid of the stupid ditches -I'll mess around with the sky a little bit so it matches better +Added more explosive barrels +Removed Colts on ramp
As for the TFC-ish-ness of the map, I don't mind if it doesnt have that "Counter-Strike Feel." Sometimes it is good to take a break from the mundane Dust or Iceworld Textures.

Just played it. I think it's ok for now, but it's quite rough on the edges.
Let's get this straight: I don't like horror settings or zombies and all. You didn't overdo it though, and added some enemy variation (even implementing a little story into it) so that wasn't too big of a problem for me. So enemy placement is good overall, with some easy-to-kill ones and certain situations allowed for a little challenge (though with the amount of health kits and batteries, not a hard challenge, the map could do with less batteries). Lighting is ok, with some interesting area's like on the screenshots. I liked the funny little boatlights too. The architecture lacks, though. Overall shapes are ok but they're rough and the difference between the brushes and the prop models is a bit too striking for my taste - they don't work well together yet. Put some more time in finetuning your brushes. The same goes for the level in general: certain things are too rough. The train moved awfully slow and had some bad texturing. It also looked odd to see a single passenger train part moving... Then there's the edge of the level. Clipping off an area for no other reason than 'this is the edge' doesn't feel right. Add a natural barrier or such to make it believable. Also, what's that big wall in the middle of the level? It looks strange...
All in all, the gameplay is ok but it needs some work on the finer points to make the map feel more solid and polished. Good luck with this!

Bad level_change,no clip at the second station so I jumped down..and there was no ladder so I couldnt get up.. But the building the ship part was great...it had very much entity work.But I jumped onto the hologram device then the hologram thing got stuck and couldnt ope....nevermind...But you have to think about the posiblities that the player can do crazy things...in map.Like trying to get stuck in the ship or trying to get out of the map...and stuff...And I couldnt understand the splash?

Very cool. I didnt really feel much of a christmas feeling..there were no christmas trees or presents
but overall the map seems well. I'll advertise it to my clan server and see if they'll like it. cuz they love that god damn cs_snow_assault4 or w/e its called -.-
I do like the map. this is my first rate so i'll give ya a 3. I noticed lets see face splitting textures i believe thats what that's called..on the roof where the hole is. but really minor.

I liked how the acid texture was brighter because it was supposed to be radioactive, which in Half-Life always did glow a little bit. @ Ace - create a trigger_teleport, and set its target to an info_tele_destination, and chang the yaw pitch roll to 0 0 -90. I had been messing with angles and stuff, and I tried different angles on the destination, and I popped out all retarded =D I bet some of you are wondering why there is a random shooting range.. my friend is new to CS, and he wanted something to practice on.. so thats why.. If anyone else has comments keep them coming.. btw this map took ~approx 5 hours to make.

Erm, ok...Weird guy above me ^^ It was a good map, I liked the theme and the shapes were cool, I still think a car could make it a bit more interesting e.g. a cyber car
I'll give it 4/5 as only really complicated maps that look really good and also have had a lot of work on deserve a 5.

Rather bland map, it felt very empty and depressing, the lightning was horrible in my oppinion. Though this might as wel have been the authors goal. The gameplay fits right in with the map, bland. Not nessicerily a bad idea, but it didnt work for me. There isnt a real flow in the map as it is just a killbox style arena. The prop's felt like they where thrown in there wihtout a reason. Only to make up for the rest. If not only to speak of the displacements, the middle-semi central point of the map has a horrible displament filled with bumps, it feels like the auther was lazy on this and just created a giant hill and threw in the noise filter. Together with the lightning and the seemingly random props makes this map nothing special.
The only thing I might change, is the tanks yaw/pitch range when you have user control, as you can getstuck if the barrel runs into you.
Really great job!
A very nice job except, i would change 3 things:
1. move the controls forwad and raise them a bit, so you can "sit" on the chair and fire the laser
2. Build a small platform, so it's easier to get on the thing.
3. Make the beam wider so it's easier to see.
I've actually made all these improvements from the .map file included in your distribution. If you'd like, enable upload and I'll send it.
Really nice job though, those things notwithstanding.
"Clone spawning"
You hide an NPC somewhere in the map, and then, you set out a points that copies that certain NPC and spawns the copies.
Great if you need them to do stuff after spawn.
But I can't figgure out how. :S

And I added a env_sun to enhance the outdoor realism.

***************
+ Texturing. was ok, you used the trim, so the map really looked like dust.
+ Layout. It was good, lots of different paths, etc. The weapon placement was good too.
+ Gameplay. It would play nicely, i think.. Perhaps some AWPs at the top catwalks?
*****************
- Architecture. Too much crates, you didn't add any dust arches, which are the main resemblence to dust.
- Ambience. There could be some, although there wasn't any in dust, so that's not a big problem.
- Lighting. It's very boring, same lights everywhere.. :
********************
Nothing more to add, I guess.. Personally, I'm not fond of map remakes, so I'll give ya 3* for the effort

Nice!
I already knew how, but I wanted to see a few variations of it!
This is not the way I did it!
I might make an example map for that... sometime...
Try and go for the Counterstrike Mood.
Nice job. Quite amazing for a first map.
I agree that maps such as these probably would be better placed in the "Example" section.

1. The icon says so
2. The lighting is obviously HL1 engine lighting
3. The wad used for the train and track are cs_bdog.wad
Looks like CS:S due to train track model?
Please reply so I can download...
+Lighting

+Idea
=Dust
-Remake
things u should consider
- darker looking sky
- make the acid inflict damage... i jumped in expecting to die =/
- remove or angle the colts on the ramps
- and lower the angle of the pits u can go into because u cant walk back up them u have to jump out of it
those are just suggestions... i thought the map was pretty good it could use a little improvement thought... good workParse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/pete/public_html/download/download.php on line 21

However, avoiding friendly fire could be difficult when it's dark.
