I managed to decipher the rubix cube that is the download host and grab a copy of this. Walked around it a bit, and decided to throw it up on my HL2DM server for kicks...

It plays -very- well even in it's current state. Myself and several of my regulars had a good solid 30 minutes of great gameplay on it. The brightly light atmosphere is a nice change of pace. I'll leave it in my rotation so it gets some exposure. It's a fun DM map.

Thanks for the creative map...

Wow. That's awesome! Thanks for putting it up on your server! It always makes me feel pretty good to hear someone has enjoyed one of my maps. I work very hard on them, so it's good to know it's appreciated. What's the ip of the server? I'd love to go in and play with you guys sometime.

Glad to know you've enjoyed the map!

btw, sorry about the host. i know it's awful, but that's what is available to me at the moment.

Hah. A showering of praise suddenly. Thanks for the compliments.

I uploaded the file to ihud.com and put it in as a mirror on the map info page. ihud doesn't download quicky (think dialup) but at least it works, as opposed to filefactory. Still, i left that one up in case some people manage to get it working.

? quoting Belgarion

Via IP/DNS - 66.127.103.165 / moto-games.squick.net

In the server browser - Moike's EFNet #Motorcycles Dedicated Fragfest

MOTD - http://moike.net/hl2-maps/motd.html

The server is running Beetles Mod, so to load up your map...

- say 'nominate dm_fuzbeam' and then say 'rockthevote' then just vote for it using the ESC menu. Convince 35% of the active players to do the same, and the current map will switch to dm_fuzbeam right away.

well, good news and bad.
Good news first. I finally learned how to model texture and uv unwrap! YES! And then even got the models to work in the map. WOHOO!!

Bad news second. They don't help fps at all. In fact, fps actually dropped.

So, while i spent hours and hours on those models, and the purpose of them wound up being useless, i'm still glad i learned how to model and skin. i'll put a link in here if you guys want to see the map with prop models in it, though i have to warn you first. parts of it are mysteriously black. i don't know why. the models also appear very smoothed, and, of course, fps suck even more.
