It's a Hide-n-Seek map, habboi. The Ts only have knives because you don't want them killing the seekers, so they should hide from the CTs. The CTs look for the Ts (like hide n seek) and have an m4a1 to kill them..

Interesting...laer_ex. What's up with the world and typos?

ZombieLoffe, usted no puede incluso descargar ese mapa. No trabaja.

Note: I don't speak Spanish at all, I just used a translator =P. For those who can't understand Spanish, here's the English version:

Translated: ZombieLoffe, you can't even download that map. It doesn't work, and apparently, enter that in the translator and it wouldn't come out the same.

It looks like a Christmas tree...a wierd one. Or one of those toy trees, whichever one you prefer.

And if you aren't, SWITCH TO ZONERS (or XP-Cagey if it's there) (or ZHLT 3.0)!

Oh yeah, at least say SOMETHING, like "it's for HL2" or something. My description: a long giant hall filled with HL2 zombies and HL2 headcrabs. And you kill them all. Guess that's what you mean by "monster_mash".

Description and screenshot might be handy. Use one of the screenshots included in your zip, and describe the map. Don't get people guessing, and "any death match" isn't a really good substitute for your missing description.

And what's up with all of the decals?

Actually, the ceiling idea won't work because you have the surface with the forcefield, so roofing won't work. Instead, create four new brushes textured in sky that extend the outer walls to a point where you can build a sky ceiling (contradictory?).

Oh, and I don't think there's an env_fire entity in CS. I'm assuming you want to have it on fire? You'd use an env_sprite (point-entity) placed near the tree and give it a fire/flame sprite.

Why can't you just learn how to compile it?

Ingame: type "pointfile" (in console)
VHE 3.5 beta: go to Map => Load pointfile, and if it asks you for your pointfile (.pts), tell it where the pointfile is.

Here's what I think of the map:

+ Cool idea with the forcefield
+ The ladder is made correctly
+ Compiled correctly
+ R_speeds look ok besides epoly due to all of those weapons. I think some weapons/ammo are unneccesary.
+ Good idea of killing anyone who gets out of the skybox
- Skybox! Don't use a skybox. Instead, just use it like a ceiling. Using a skybox makes more polygons visible.
- The idea doesn't always work. I survived it once, and some snarks did too.
- You didn't set the direction the players face, so they start facing the same direction.

I'd give it a 4/5 because it's a first map and it looks like you put some effort into the map.

You should load it in the game, but you could use Hammer 3.5 Beta and load the point file in there.

D'oh, the pointfile. You could do that, or you could use a tool called LeakMarker. It finds your leak and puts a brush around it.
Commented 19 years ago2005-02-03 19:55:29 UTC in vault item: Leak - O'Reilly - getting better Comment #5868
Better hint: Don't even go near making a box. I found the leak anyways...

It's near the bottom-right corner of the map. The brush at the right edge doesn't quite match the bottom edge brush.

Also, you might want to snap brushes to the grid (unless the grid size is 1, which in that case, increase your grid size). That way, it's harder to make leaks because since it's snapped, it usually matches.

Oh, and madcow: Are you talking about BSPTwoMap/WinBSP? If so, I've already tried those. I'm not very satisfied with results of both. WinBSP messes up every texture and some brushwork, not to mention it occasionally messes up the appearance of faces by making them flat-shaded (with shades of grey, and at least on my computer). BSPTwoMap makes brushes that make them go outside the grid, so I have to delete them, making GIANT gaps. Thanks for the positive feedback!

lucky: Already emptied it a long time ago.
Kasperg: Whoops, forgot about those problems. Oh, and the easter eggs are behind both rock faces. To get there, you have to either use free-look or set gravity low. Not very impressive...the one next to A are some invisible crates that blow up when the bomb blows at A, and the one at B is a bunch of random decals that makes up...randomness. Oh, and the boxes are intended to be cover, or else you can't plant the bomb without getting shot.
