I disagree with the claim that compile times decrease.My Secret Santa VIS compile was ~5x shorter (2.5hrs > 30mins). RAD did end up taking slightly longer, but all-in-all it was a huge gain in my case.
I'll update my CompilatorPlease make it public this time. I really don't get why you've been keeping the newest version private like that. For one, you probably have loads of unregistered/new users running the old version posted on the thread.
Btw you're just finding out about vhlt?I knew about them for a while now, but only just got around to trying them out yesterday. Not going back to SHLT/ZHLT, that's for sure. Didn't know about the map size thing though, that's awesome.
But it's the spirit of giving that counts.Agreed, had a blast making mine.
Do you have any cool themes for your notepad++ daub? I downloaded ++ and a PADD theme from startrek, but i still haven't tried it yet. +)I've started using Zenburn recently (comes with the defaults afaik), it's really easy on the eyes w/o sacrificing readability too much. Really liking it so far.
Are you still modding goldsource?Nah, just the odd map here & there.
I run 64-bit Windows 7, and while I don't do much mapping work, I can confirm that Hammer works fine, at least on Nvidia graphics drivers.Ditto. Works fine.
Can winnars of this competition get a youtube map review thing?Ask Archie/Urby.
Nice to see that valve are being their amazing self , quite surprised they haven't at least heard of us before considering we have been active just after the turn of the millenium , and we do have quite a large database of tutorials.Indeed, convincing them to give us the keys wasn't exactly hard either. Good folk working there.
It really feels like all your (and the enemies) weapons are just barely held together, making for a brutal, tooth and nail sort of affair.So true! By the end of it, I was completely out of ammo, only had like 2 throwing knives remaining, as well as 2 filters. They've gotten the supply balance so right in that game - it's unbelievable.
Worst Round: -84 frags (GoldSourceForever)That was subtracted from your total kills by the stats plugin. Put a reasonable dent in your overall score.
) & to all the authors who had the guts to submit their maps! Also huge props to potatis_invalid for hosting the server, and to Archie & Urby for their endurance in shoutcasting the whole thing!
how on earth did you guys get Valve to give out three beta keys?Got in touch, told them about the site, they said yes.
I know it says to target maps that didn't have great gameplay but does that rule out one's like dust and inferno? I had a dust map in mind for a long time.Like Pb said, dust has been remade and re-imagined in pretty much every possible way, a billion times each. I know you're highly skilled, so if you really, really feel like you can bring something new to the table in that theme, go right ahead. It's not a favourite though, and it really will need something exceptional to make it look interesting/fresh.
Don't you guys think that the standard themes of classic CS are too boring and frequently used? Look, I mean there are thousand of maps using the mentioned themes.If you mean the most popular ones (dust, etc.), then yes, but certainly not all of them. You can find plenty of good stuff in the unplayed (storm, oilrig, ..), or even cut maps (arabstreets, rotterdam, etc.).
Also, is it allowed/legal/possible to use L4D models in CSS? Because they have all the great airport models.
i want to use the models from hl-lab.ruGo ahead. We're not making commercial projects here.
Custom content and deviations are both allowed as long as they are coherent with the overall style of your theme.All types are allowed. :>
To get your map on the server, upload it to the appropriate folder (css, czero or cs16) at ftp://twhl.oskar-lh.name/Huge thanks to potatis_invalid for setting them up!
To get the server to play your map, connect to the server and write map name_of_your_map in chat (say: map cs_awesome). The map will play for the next 20 minutes.
