I LOVE RACETOWNZ.

Please don't remove it. It's a magical map.

At least remove basement rats and possibly more of the ones Stu mentioned, The rest are probably ok...

Dust thunder might be ok with a little optimization, though idk if Zeebs would have time to edit it.. I will take a look at it tomorrow on Zeeba's behalf since I have the source, and play at some optimizing

Some new maps to fill the holes would also be nice. Stu's above maps would most likely make fine additions to the rotation.

Btw, a Rock-The-Vote feature would be wonderful if you can't swing it, but if not, maybe at least temporarily reduce the round times for testing purposes :)

^ what Stu said. Big apologies for not testing maps before recommending ='(
I figure cs_ maps don't fly in tourneys, otherwise I'd suggest Omega Assault or even The Labyrinth. Got good reviews for them.
I don't see why we couldn't have a few hostage rescue maps in the mix, Omega Assault would be a fantastic addition IMO :)

DiscoStu, Jessie and I were playing for a bit and we found some issues with a some of the maps.

Basement rats is a fine map, but due to some technical issues it would probably be better to remove it from the tourney.

De_dust_thunder has some fps lag issue and "stickyness", i.e., when traversing stairs and entering doorways, sometimes you are unable to move for a second or two, although I don't know how much is due to ping, high wpoply, and/or clipping issues.

It was a pleasure looking through your map, you Sven guys are nuts! :P

Was able to find where the illegals were coming from, by randomly deleting stuff, compiling, and checking the log each time to see if the error messages were still there. luckily, they were all in the same place and the first place I looked

If you need a hand rebuilding anything, I'd be happy to help :)

Was able to isolate the errors by deleting stuff, compiling, and then checking the log for the illegal brushes:
User posted image
Green: brushes from one or more of the three cacti :)
Blue: brushes from the chopper.
Red: one brush from the tower radar array.

From there, you are going to have to track down the actual brushes causing the errors and rebuild them. When I remove the cacti, radar tower, and chopper, I get zero illegal brushes.

Another thing I noticed about your map is there are a lot of world brushes(solids) that should probably be func_detail, e.g., the tram track, light fixtures, props, furniture, all door trims and molding etc. Use Sledge's auto visgrouping to deselect brush entities, and you will see all the world solids I'm talking about

DiscoStu
Yup, those transparent textures are super useful, and you're right: he could have used null, and toggled the hide null textures button in sledge ;)

Feedback
Playing CSDM on tight-layout maps like fy_snow and fy_pool_day is amazingsly fun, but after an hour or so it gets tedious. Maybe just appoint admins and change as needed, OR, keep it to classic imo :)

If you are looking for maps to include, definitely the ones above, and Kabul are keepers. Kabul isn't too big, imo, but hopefully we have a good turnout of course ;)

in Sledge (Hammer Alternative) Alpha Build Post #322696
I realize you are rewriting the code PB.. would you prefer we hold off on bug reports until the next version? Meantime, here are s'more:

Misc. Entity bug
By accident I found you can combine point entities and brush-based entities together(Ctrl+T), e.g., you can combine a ambient generic and a solid into a func_detail.. Probably a bad thing? =P

light_environment feature request
It might be nice to have a directional widget for sun angle.

3D double click preference 2 cents
I like that you added the option to have double click open the Texture Application window, but maybe instead of having the enitre object's faces selected, have just the face you double clicked on, OR, add it as yet another togglable option to what the user prefers. It's an extra click of the mouse, not a big deal!

Texture Application select/mark feature request
I use the select feature in the Texture Browser A LOT. Having a button for this on the Texture Application window itself would be helpful saving a step, when aligning and realighning textures. realigning should be greatly reduced once you fix the Sledge texture lock issues ;)

Paste special instant feature request
When right clicking in a 2d window, consider adding paste special "instant" button. This would copy and paste special the selected object(s) in one stroke, saving you a step.
Clone objects is fastest, but sometimes with off-grid stuff you can't use it

We are happy to answer GoldSrc questions, as you can see :)

Btw, that's pretty neat you can use aaatrigger on outside faces of your level like that; the transparency helps visualize the level much better, I've never seen that done before..

I'll let you know if I'm able to track down those errors, and again, REALLY impressive map! :o

Map compiled fine for me, and I got the exact same illegal brush errors your got. Your map looks incredible btw! ;P

I looked at it quickly and could not find the cause of the illegal brushes, but I will check it out again later. I'm sure I have this error cataloged in my error log, but I don't have access to it atm. there is surprisingly nothing in Tommy's error table about this one!

HLFix does not create errors, and any problems people have with it are due to setting it up wrong, which CAN be a pita. I would recommend using Sledge to compile your maps if you aren't already, which handles floating point vertices perfectly by default ;)

If you want to upload your map I can take a look at your brushes, or maybe post some screens of the map?

Aw ok ;)

Well whatever mod they are using at 192.223.29.61:27015 is really good; It simplifies the buy menu and shows incoming/outgoing HP damage. And yeah, CSDM is ungodly fun, especially in a tight map like fy_snow/iceworld :)

I'm having some fun practicing for the tourney. The only thing that's hard to get used to is you can shoot through every wall, so there is a lot of wallspamming to adjust to :P

CSDM would be fun too. (maybe you could split it 12 hours of dm and 12 of defusal, or is the server a pita to setup?) Also, do you plan on adding any bots to the mix?

If you make at purely a dm sever, you should really add one of the iceworld maps to the mix ;)

Production worker
I work for a small production company as a carpenter, which entails very basic framing and finishing work mostly using wood, but we use everything from plexiglass to structural steel. Once in a while we have projects that require pneumatics, microcontrollers, running wire/audio, and other cool shit. Sometimes we get to do install work across the country, or even abroad.

Experience needed: None really. Electronics knowledge is always helpful. I would not recommend a job like this unless you enjoy it.

Besides that, I've done every shit job you can imagine. Probably the most fun was working as night desk clerk at a full-service hotel, summers/weekends during college.. Got to see a lot of crazy stuff, like keying into a room--because of noise complaints--, and a literal gangbang is going on... just one example ;P

Perhaps Sledge automatically shows me all of the wad files in Half-Life?
Yes it does :)

Whitelist only the wads you want, at least that's what I do. Compiling with Sledge should wadinclude ONLY the textures you've used in your map by default.

Wadinclude may only work in FINAL/ADVANCED compiles, I'm not 100% sure, but definitely use one of those for a final release of your map

It has advantages and disadvantages imo. If I had it to do over again, I would have stuck with the default movement keys back when I started playing CS, since every game defaults to WSAD for movement...

Here is a keymap I use for Insurgency, which probably uses the most keys of any fps I play:

F-forward
s/d-strafe
A-back
q-crouch
w-run
t-prone
t(while running)-slide
c-lean left
v-lean right
x-select fire
z-explosives
g-flashlight

That's not all of them, but you get the idea.
