for heaven's sake use spirit of half-life or the newer engine that shall not be named =P

Trains cause pains,
Not to muscles, but to the brain,
They never work quite right,
sometimes caused by an incorrect class name.

Path tracks or corners,
The problems nye refrain,
if this is another map for cs:cz,
i might go insane!

Sorry can't be of more help mate, hope you get it to work! :)

OH SHI, i forgot in coop mode you have to split your loadout slots with your partner! that has to be tough!

I've never even seen that spikewall trap before! It warms my heart to see you use the crossbow too btw.. Also a question: i notice many people using tar traps over brimstone... is it an economy thing or you need to slow them down for the other traps to reset, or what?

Wave 50 dang! =P

Mountain trolls are easy imo... it's the damn hordes of earth lords that always snuff me out at the end, but i guess your strengths/weaknesses vs. different enemies will depend on your trap strategy and loadout.

i deal with mountain trolls with said lighting ring or i stun them with the crossbow and then finish them with headshots or the sword thingie. (also helped out by copious grinders and brimstone) Alternatively, freeze ring and sword should accomplish similar damage, though i'm not sure because i don't use freeze anymore.

rufee: More often than not, it's the competitions you think you've no shot to win that you end up winning!

new mappers make up for there lack of knowledge and experience, with unending creative energy and shear determination, while older mappers weakness is being jaded and overconfident.

Besides, this is looking to be one of the most popular compos of all time, so it's a great opportunity for some of you wallflowers to step up =)

I was not interested in this contest at all, but all the participation is pretty contagious, 'specially with Trempler's rapid-fire WIPs and some of the old greats like Rimrook and Dewdle are in.. this is great =)

in Map your house coop Post #311608
yup it's a tardis that i enclosed a t spawn in for testing, so i'm not getting shot while playtesting. (i since learned you can just type bot_quota 0) =P

you bring up a good question. the answer is i will be responsible for blending all the homes and environments together, but i don't expect it will be too hard, i.e., if someone builds a skyscraper, i'll build a little city for it to blend into, and place like urban stuff there.

if somebody lives in an apartment building, they are free to just build their flat or their whole building, it's simply up to the user. (in the case they just built their flat, i'd build the exterior of the building to complete it)

Source accepts MUCH bigger environments, so i'm not worried about space or resources being an issue ;)

I'm listening urby, now explain me normal maps and and that other vmt hoodoo!

bojidar4oto: ya, making something realistic from scratch is ridiculously tedius, so you better off using cgtextures as your base.

Another tedious, but kind of intriguing way to make your textures from scratch would be to make the said texture from brushwork, light it, and THEN in the game use a orthographic(straight-down) screenie of it as your base.

in Map your house coop Post #311581
yes read the first post all the way through ;)

For textures just include your jpgs/png/whatever, and i'll convert them. Same rules apply as gs, or must be 1x1 or 1x2 ratio in size and divisible by 16(e.g. 256x256, or 256x512).

As far as transparency goes, if you include an alpha layer let me know so i can include that in the vmt.

Plus, not all have CS GO. Im still stuck at 1.6
Dude, i EVEN said i would be willing to port anyone's map from any goldsource or source-based game to CSGO, and people still don't have fucks to give; it doesn't matter everyone has an excuse..

A Big yes on the need for better organization though. The Cstriker literally saved the first team mapping project by bitching about a lack of said organization(and then i re-did the rules and everybody jumped on board), and since then, it try to make them as clean cut and organized as possible ;)

And totally yeah don't get me wrong, i totally understand RL gets in the way....

Inside or out is great, BUT in any event i would say to those who plan to build the inside, I'd highly recommend building the exterior first, and only start hollowing* after it is proportionally correct.

*I don't mean using hollow tool! =P

Another idea i had to add to this, was one of those old strip motels converted into monthly rental apts, and let people claim a room to decorate should they didn't want to build the whole house. (could do the same thing with a fancy condominium)

sm0k3y: the rules say any source or goldsource-based game, so i'm guessing that includes csgo :)

Gamebanana contests are pretty crazy, as you can submit a map for ANY game, so e.g., if you wanted to make a map a gameboy advance or dos, or whatever, they will accept it. (this said, i've never seen an entry yet over there that wasn't source/gs based yet)
