Another lame CS map its mostly terrain with a few empty buildings, waterfall etc.

Waterfall and river
Rocks
And more rocks

It was entered in the ZTK mapping competition so it had to be finished for a deadline and theres some stuff that never got fixed - ice disappears in the river, overused textures, terrain clipping problems etc.

Save for about two texture misalignments, that's f**king impressive. Looks surreal.

Cheers ! i've got you to thank for some of it - i was well impressed with the rock textures in ts_foolsparadise and it prompted me to dig out some old tex's and spiffy them up btw, you should finish that sucker.

If only D: It appears that all my maps, since they're on computers used by my whole family, are doomed to death by reformat. Fool's Paradise, my old DoD map, now even Ribcage and Zombie - they're all lost to broken harddrives D:

That's why people invented CD-RWs and drives that write to 'em. [addsig]

You might still be able to get things like maps back after formating the drive, provided you didn't change the filesystem. If you have just reinstalled windows, then it shouldn't have overwritten the place where your maps were, since windows will have been at the start of the drvice before the format. Get some NTFS recovery program, and it will be able to find a bunch of old files on your drive, a lot of which will be 100% recoverable.

1st off, thats a crock of s**t cass.. the rmf and map are just to small to not have a backup copy uploaded someplace safe.. a bit of forethought could have solved your problem. most especially since you knew the likelihood was pretty high.

if you lose another map, you have only yourself to blame.

.rmf files compress like crazy, my 13MB .rmf is 600kb zipped, easy to fit on a floppy even. [addsig]

i've ballsed up a few drives in my time, to a point that they would only show me a BSoD. but with every one of them, i managed to retrieve the data i wanted by changing the jumpers on the drive to slave, then using another drive with a working os as master, to get to it.

maybe worth a try?

cass has been here a long time, i am betting he has his own pit too. you can upload up to 2 meg zips into a pit.. worse case scenario, i can upload 15 meg files for him to my briefcase.

blaming his kinfolk, was a bit OTT.

The map is lovely.. but here is something strange... click on the image to bring it up on its own window then "restore it down" meaning taking the window and using the diagnol arrow make the window smaller and you will see black and white squares. Wierd.... maybe its just me. [addsig]

Nah I see em too, must be the compression stylings or something.

Strange how the thumbnails differ from the images. I clicked on the images at first and saw a cool map, then when I looked back at the thumbnails I thought they were small photos you had based the map from!

lol, those thumbs do look a bit like photos now you come to mention it. The image glitch is prolly down to being too aggressive with the compression.

This reminds me sort of Neverwinter Nights Shadows of Undrentide. I like the misty snow theme very much. The bridge in the 3rd shot doesn't look like it lines up with the cliff very well, is it just the angle? [addsig]
