Hmm, from what I see, this is a perfect setting for a harbour, or a bay.
I don't have suggestions other than placing crates and ladders on some spots.
Maybe you could add some shelves somewhere and a couple of buckets, along with a static forklift.
Also, since you're using Imgur, you can go into your account's images, and click on any image. Now, you'll see embedding options. Select Large Thumbnail, copy the BBCode, and paste it here.

I seriously don't understand the issue here.
I'm just saying that when children carry guns they're cute. They're cute with everything, except some things of course (don't mention them).
Meh, maybe we just had a misunderstanding, as always :/
While I do understand that firing without ammo somewhat damages the weapon, it was still OK because those were old, very old weapons, and they weren't being used by the soldiers. 1 of the sniper rifles jammed, but it was not a problem, because it wasn't supposed to be used.
I clearly knew what I was doing, I clearly knew that the weapons were prepared, prepared to be used by people who don't know anything "real" about weapons.
On any other occasion, such as finding a gun in my basement, I would simply check whether the weapon is loaded, I would turn on the safety switch, and, if needed, I would give it to someone who would do something about it.
At the event, we were told a story about a teenager who found a rocket launcher in his addict. He got very excited about it, and pretended being Rambo, and actually fired it. Guess what happened?
He turned it in the wrong direction, and fired, so it hit a wall behind him, and he lost his right arm. Poor fellow
I am not that reckless.

Nice, a microscope. I have a microscope too.
I looked at some things through it:

My, errm, napkin:
For some reason, my phone's camera finds the light brighter than the human eye receives it.

And now a wet, white napkin:
Let's see how printed images look like:

And finally, a Jana bottle cap

For now, just study, study and study. That's the most important thing.

A map you say?
I made dm_5nights for Counter-Strike 1.6 and it's my only map to ever reach 5000 views and 2000 downloads.
How did I succeed?
1. Trends
YouTubers started their career with trendy games (Happy Wheels, Minecraft and FNaF). So I thought, why not to make a FNaF map for CS? I did, and the outcome kickstarted my progress on GameBanana.
2. Patience
If your map will take 2 years to finish, let it be. I still have some projects from when I started mapping, and they're still not finished.
3. Good music
Always listen to music while making anything. It increases productivity. I myself have a pretty small playlist of 70 songs (some people have 100s and 1000s). I made ts_untergrund while listening to south-Slav folk songs, for example.
Here's a fail, too.
About my cancelled mod, 'An unknown game':
That thing was an epic fail XD
I made 100 promises, but delivered none. I had the workload of a factory. The mod had many planned features, but back then I had almost no modelling and coding knowledge. Also, I had many other things to do, besides the mod.
I even planned to include my imaginary girlfriend in there, how I met her etc.

Oh, isn't that Water Hazard from Half-Life 2?
Well done

Since you're also talking about multiple configs for each player amount, you'll probably want to also do some extra work, for example:
I know!
You can also use 1 multi_manager which activates all 3 game_counters. When the 1st one reaches the limit, it's killed/removed, etc. until we're left with the last game_counter.
Each game_counter, as mentioned, locks or unlocks something in the map. Cool, am I right?
- Level 1 = 8 players (M249s everywhere)
- Level 2 = 16 players (less M249s and a few barrels)
- Level 3 = 32 players (way less weapons and much more hazards)

I guess you could do it with a trigger_multiple and a game_counter.
The trigger_multiple activates the game_counter and if it reaches a certain number, the game_counter activates something else.
So if you have, say, a limit of 16 players on 1 team, they need to pass through a "counting center" where they are counted according to that mechanism. If 16 players are counted, something happens.

Well, nobody got hurt, and there weren't any accidents. 2 of my friends played Vietnam War songs, we hung around etc.
In the end, everything went back to normal. I will never forget that day.
@Archie
Disturbing?
The kids even went into the big helicopter, and climbed onto the WBR or whatever it's called (the truck with a lot of rockets on it). Later on, they even pointed the guns at the teachers. Kids are kids, what can I tell you?
That thing.
And they even showed us explosives!

Well, I take precautions too. I checked if there was a bullet in the chamber, and I also checked the safety switch.
I did fire once. Don't worry, no bullets involved. It was an empty shot. We even saw a demonstration of how soldiers advance through the battlefield.
But before anything of that, we firstly listened to the national anthem, and then saw a presentation about landmines in Bosnia. My country is full of them, just like when GoldSource maps are full of leaks XD
But come on, even the 3rd-graders handled at least one of the weapons. I mean, tiny 8-year-olds held an M16 in their tiny hands, so cute

Actually, if you look at me holding the sniper rifle, you'll notice how I moved my finger away from the trigger. Precisely, I extended the finger.
After all, the weapons were unloaded and the fire mode was switched to safe. Good times
Edit: the M60 was unloaded, while the PASP and the M16A1 had empty clips.

This was utterly epic:
Today my school organised a trip to an army base (of some sort) in Capljina (Chapp-lyee-nah). It was fun. My dad used to work there.
Here's the choppa:
See how big is this? It's just like the osprey from Half-Life.
Here are my classmates holding weapons:
Poor guy broke his arm a week ago, but he handles the PASP like everyone else.
Sadly, I can't upload more of that, it would take too much time.
Now, here's me holding the PASP, the M60 and the M16A1.
Some say I know how to pose, without knowing how to shoot. Well, I do know how to shoot, but the guns were empty, and it would cause a chaos.
My physics teacher, he really got chatty about the M16 and the AK47. He said he personally used and shot from these weapons back in the old days.
One of my friends fell in love with the M60. Oh, and he started crying when he saw the soldiers taking it away.
Edit: Now you all know how I look like! Yay!

Well, unfortunately, that's all I know. My first NPC was somewhat fine until "aUG" crashed as soon as the NPC saw the player.

Well, for the mapping part, I said it.
But if you're making a mod, then you can also create an entirely new NPC, like "monster_zombie_stronk" whose health is 1337. You just copy the entire .cpp file and change the class' name, adjust some stuff and there you go.
And yes, "stronk" and "1337" were on purpose, just for the lols

Hmm, it makes sense now, thank you Qwertyus. Before 2006, lol. Don't get me wrong, but I guess that's one positive use of piracy. Getting older, unavailable versions of software.
I think it's possible, even in Hammer.
If you set a rotating door's damage to -10 (or any negative value) then instead of killing it, the doors "heal" the monster. And then you can simply teleport the monster.

Hmm, let me check something...
*opens properties of hl.exe
Oh, I have version 1.1.1.1, so it means something? I downloaded it from 'cswarzone.com'.

But still, it works. The code has to be somewhere.
How come that startup videos work on my mod? My mod uses the vanilla GoldSrc yet it plays that opening clip very well. No freezing, stuttering etc.

I'm sure it's not that much of a handicap. Videos are still possible, though.
About the properties part, I remember the video either must have DivX encoding, or either it mustn't be compressed at all.
I remember that its resolution was also 1024x768.
And, if by 'vanilla' you mean the WON GoldSrc, it should work the same, although I'm fairly unsure about that.

I actually included an AVI file with my (cancelled) mod. It plays sometimes, but sometimes doesn't.
As much as I remember, you need to have this TXT file called startupvids.txt or something. And yes, even though it is the 'non-Steam' version, it IS basically the Steam version, the one I have.

@Dallas
It wouldn't work, because the players can move around freely and I don't want to freeze them in a spot
Hmm, but then I would have to control the players even more, because these rushers can go out everywhere. When the osprey's tail explodes, you can actually get out through the window on the osprey's top.
Still, fog is my #1 option.

Good idea, but not exactly where I plan to insert it.
Darude - Sandstorm will be in the credits and a cinematic cutscene,
Foghat - Slow Ride will be in the osprey ride,
and for the rest, I'll make my own, probably. That includes:

Thanks, but it apparently won't work well with my truck. It's because the camo net has Render Mode set to Solid. And it says that entities with Render Mode other than Normal won't be affected.
But I will still use it on the second map, with the osprey ride.

Well, they ARE the skybox bounds, because I increased the view distance to 8096. Also, the func_trains look like they "pop up" when they teleport. In Software mode, they used to be visually blocked by the sky brushes, because I created another sky room.
Apparently, entities behind sky brushes are displayed even though they should not.
Actually, I can use sprites to simulate fog. I think fog isn't a thing in Sven Co-op, HOWEVER, I can use sprites with the following:
(look up, it looks like a white blob)
The glow sprites disappear when you're far away, and shine when you're very close. So it makes a wonderful extra smoke effect.
EDIT: Yes, it's 640x480. I don't have a high-end card like the GTX 1080, but rather an iGPU which is worse than Intel HD Graphics.

I continued working on my Sven Co-op map pack "Sandstorm". It's doing very well ever since the update that fixed the enormous lag on OpenGL.
And here's one of the much older screenshots:
This is pretty much the basic setup behind it:
And, yes, I used teleporting func_trains for that one. It's the 2nd level, sandstorm1
I presume it looks nice, but on my phone's screen it looks too dark. On my laptop's monitor, though, it would look perfectly bright enough.
Oh hello Maha! Remember me?
The low fps is probably because your map is very big, and you said it does not have a sky brush. When I inspected your RMF I saw objects with a lot of detail, that might be the reason, and of course, cylinder stairs...

He becomes too squarish and angular.Are you serious about that? Because low-poly models don't usually mean low quality:
That's a low poly model (I think it's less than 400 polys), yet it still looks like it has 10 times more than that.
I heard that scaling down a lot of 512x512 textures causes this error. Maybe you're using an old compiler?

Sure, this will do. Don't say "Get something better", because before this one, there was this list, and it had even worse things in it.
And no, I can't buy a used PC and then upgrade it, because my dad wouldn't buy me a used PC, not even if it meant the whole world to everyone.
In fact, I think that he wouldn't buy me the parts anyways, because my PC building wish has been on since 2013. Back then I wanted the Radeon HD 6450.
And then, I can't afford a seemingly "better GPU for the same price" because I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the prices are 2x higher in 2 cases. With 1 case being the USD to BAM chart (1 USD = 1.75 BAM), and the other case being that you would expect a $100 card here to cost 175 BAM, right? No, it costs twice more than that.
To keep this on-topic, I will also share a little more information:
I am currently "tessellating" the terrain, and adding the credits into the already mentioned tunnel.

20fps isn't a problem. It was the average framerate while looking at the terrain. However, if you're inside, then it's a solid 50fps, I think.
While play-testing the map, I monitored performance on 5 spots:
Spot 1. 50fps, inside
Spot 2. 5fps, outside, most detailed area
Spot 3. 20fps, asphalt road
Spot 4. 20fps, upper floor
Spot 5. +60fps, vents
So, a total average of ~33fps. But my GPU really is the bottleneck here, I've seen Intel HD Graphics perform better at any game, when compared to my laptop's GPU, including any GoldSrc game.
Of course, that is only approximate info, only raw assumptions, because I didn't really activate r_speeds when monitoring.
And yes, I didn't provide the link in this thread. But rather in the Vault.

Most of the terrain is accessible, only the edges aren't.
@Loulimi
Heh, framerate isn't a problem on my device. I have a crappy Intel GMA 965 chipset, with only 64MB of dedicated VRAM. And it handles the map like a pro at average 20fps, and drops to 10fps on more demanding cases.
The lowest I get is 5fps. And 90% of you have 100x better systems than my "carrot" (worse than a potato!) laptop.

Nothing dies until it gets a cannonball in the chest, or becomes too old, not-literally speaking.
In this case, a "cannonball in the chest" is a very very big flaw of the programming language, and "becomes too old" simply means "not up to the standards".

In JACK I went above the map limits a few times.
JACK has an integrated option of choosing your world's size limit. I normally set it to about 13000x13000, and it gives me no problems. And so I made a 8192x8192 map.
It turns out to be helpful in Sven Co-op 5.0, with their new Svengine improvements.

Meh, I only have 2 years of mapping experience, 1.5 years of texturing, 1 year of music production, 6 years of video-editing (man, since I was 8 years old), and only 6 months of modelling experience.
But at the very least I know coding. I only spent a few weeks in coding, but luckily I wasn't lazy enough to find tutorials and try to learn basic programming

To be a man with free time or not to be a man with free time? That is the questionI don't know about you, but I never have free time even when I'm not at my "beloved" laptop. There's always something.

Well, you made your point.
I, however, will be a 1-man modding machine, because of the numerous advantages: making my own music, textures, sounds, models and other assets by myself.

If you don't know how to animate, then don't do it for GoldSource. Instead, look for some tutorials on general animation, and then expand that knowledge to GoldSource.
And as much as I know, vertex animation should be used for fake water, if GoldSRC supports vertex animation (I highly doubt it does, since it's a 1998 engine).

This could be used for fake water, or even simulating mercury (the liquid metal).
However, in its current state, the tiles seem to be reflecting clouds.
In my opinion, you could maybe trigger an env_render entity, to set the Render FX to something like 50, which would certainly lessen the effect.

As much as I remember it was 800x600. That stupid bangs head into wall, integrated bangs again, Intel breaks skull, frickin' GMA... the lagggg!!!
And now I'm dead for hitting the wall with my head.
And don't worry, I already made the roads wider, before anyone told me.
Also, my settings are different, I have a bit more gamma and contrast (the sliders in the Video tab). Therefore, I'll use my phone's screen to see what you see.

Some kids have the financial resources (a.k.a money) needed, but no payment method for things via the Internet. That's a big reason for people pirating games.
But I'm getting a debit card this year, so I'm about to abandon piracy once and for all, mostly because the pirated games don't have working multiplayer.
AND, I'll break the Steam account "barrier" by spending more than 5€.
But for a game like CS 1.6 still available, cheap and running on modern machines, you're definitely not taking the moral high ground pirating it.Some people simply won't care, but:
Some kids have the financial resources (a.k.a money) needed, but no payment method for things via the Internet. That's a big reason for people pirating games.
But I'm getting a debit card this year, so I'm about to abandon piracy once and for all, mostly because the pirated games don't have working multiplayer.

Exactly. Over here in Bosnia and Herzegovina, absolutely nobody bought CS 1.6. Instead they found it on a site which has a free download for Counter-Strike 1.6.
And no, I'm not going to tell the name.

Pseudo-3D? I'm not sure what that is, but I guess it's the 2.5D feature of DOOM, because it was essentially 2.5D, but rendered as 3D.
There will be hidden areas if I make them fit into the map (and probably I will, such as a mini-cinema).
No filtering? Maybe if you turn on Software mode.
Sector-based lighting? Heh, GoldSource doesn't probably support that natively, however I could convert each "sector" to a func_wall, and then control their minimum light level. But no.
What I really meant by the mentioned method, was actually this: "every floor; different wall texture".
It implies that for every new floor/sector, there has to be a different wall or floor texture for each floor.

If you refer to my map, ts_untergrund is not a map for CS, but rather for TS, another great Half-Life mod.
And that's the exact reason why I'm putting so many func_breakables in there, so you can have more fun when you kill an enemy in-air, and then the enemy's body falls into the fragile crates, and breaks them. And of course, bullet time!
But, this will be the first map of mine to have a port to other GoldSrc games, so it's:
-25% for The Specialists,
-25% for Half-Life,
-25% for Counter-Strike,
-and 25% for Sven Co-op if it gets a port.

Don't worry about the repetitive textures, I'm going for the method used in the first DOOM games.
In fact, here's some more screenshots:
And when a lot of it is broken:
And a realistic approach to light bulbs:
Behold! The latest and greatest lightbulb tech!
Shoot one, and it's off until it re-spawns

This part, the U-turn, is mostly complete.
