You didn't even bother to copy the skybox along with the BSP. Nice 'redo'.

how can you copy a .BSP.. durr, they cannot be modified

I'm sorry Fizscy46, did I somehow offend you?

I was wrong. You didn't directly copy the BSP, I can see by the crossbow in the picture. Otherwise, this is another person's map, though it is perfectly legal to convert it to HLDM, it's official CS. I think my two sentences of scorn were warranted.

First of all, I'd like to point out that my opinions on copying maps of others is the same as that of most folks here. Despite that, you've recieved enough of a slating here, so I'll try and be a somewhat more friendly voice.

I wanted to check out the actual map, but unfortunately the download link wasn't working. Judging from the screenshot, this looks like a good recreation of dust, if I was shown this screenshot without being told it was a remake, I'd be happy to believe it was the original dust. Not only have you done a good job rebuilding the structure of this area at least, but the lighting also looks convincingly similar to the original map, so good job on keeping it authentic. Obviously I can't comment on how well built it is, but the screenshot appears to suggest its technically fine at any rate. Unfortunately, while dust is a good CS map, it isn't so wonderful for HLDM due to the huge differences in gameplay style. Thats not to say it would make a terrible HLDM map - I think it could certainly be one of the best maps to convert as its layout isn't as linear as some other CS levels. My main concern would be that the lack of vertical movement in CS means the maps can be very short of headroom without affecting gameplay, but in HLDM, with the gauss gun, its important to have lots of space about you to fly around. For this reason I hope you have chosen not to include the gauss in the map, as the flat layout of the level would mean its inclusion would ruin the illusion of the map being part of a larger environment.

Anyway, this is a fair enough indication that you can make levels, but I hope the responses here have encouraged you to make original levels, rather than discouraged you from mapping. Don't disappear - we can occasionally be a bit mean but you'll get better at mapping for it

ok.. the download should be fixed now.. stupid thing

woops.. my bad the folder was on private confusing site
