Two other maps of the names I cannot recall:

1. a map set on a spaceship, where there was a room that sucked you out into space (and you die) If someone in a certain room pressed a button to open the gates in that room. Figured it out...it's SpaceFrag.

2. A dark castle map with an underground dungeon with traps and cells and skeletons. A big top area too, with an area with a long watery pond area.

If any of you want the maps in question, I have them. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> Eden, Merlin, and SpaceFrag were hard ones to find.

Also, Iceworld. Mind you, I don't list it as one of the best based on any accepted criteria for solid mapping. I list it because it is a map pared down to the bare essentials of a map: it consists of no more and no less than what it absolutely needed to function in the way the author intended. That principle inspired some of my later, purely geometric maps (see Ribcage for an early example).

I always thought my own Fools' Paradise would have been the foremost terrain-focused map for HL1 had it not melted in my old computer. I used a mix of DaveJ/3D-Mike inspired complex terrain and triangle terrain ( http://www.snarkpit.net/pits/cassius/blargo.jpg ). I still wish I could have finished that one.

[DRS]Doomdog has a map I helped him with called "Galileo" with that theme.

Not an original concept but it could be his.





The best things in life, aren't things.

The old version of Battleschool had a room like that, but I removed it from the final version for various technical reasons. Battleschool got TONS of downloads, I'm not sure who was playing it where, though. It was a big space station with an anti-grav chamber in the middle and a display that showed where you and the enemies were located.

Thank you Orpheus and Jinx, but no dice. I went to the [DRS] website, DLed it....wasn't it......went to your profile Jinx, DLed BattleSchool....definately wasn't it.

It was very big.....a long ladder that led to different levels....a big open bay with crates and a bay door that opened and sucked everyone out. It had an organic room that assimilated a sort of greenhouse with plants.....it had a lab with a warp to a strange sliding space area...then you could warp back and slide the other way. There was a tram ride that took you about 300 yards really fast (dont wanna be in its way). It was a pretty expansive map.

EDIT: I have since found the map. The map is called SpaceFrag. After trying various Google searches the search term that finally landed me at my destination was:

"sucked into space" deathmatch

Google rules.

Mist was by MrP, I believe - the same author as Tear. I remember loving both maps dearly. Now I barely remember anything about them.
