| Why would there be a new fgd? CS hasn't changed it's entities since beta 6.5 when some of the es_ entities were tweaked a little. That was over three years ago. The only possibly difference is the models in viewer thing, from which a well-respected independant release is probably more reliable and is dependant on VHE's recent update, not CS's. |
cash m8, new weps & new slots. the galil, the riot shield & the famas.

But those all come from players buying them, you don't need an fgd to add them. Func_buyzone and you're set. If you're talking about the armoury_entity, which is what will lay a gun down, then realize fy_ is not truly a supported map type. ES_ was the last official map type to include that entity, and it hasn't been touched since beta 6.5 (as I mentioned). This is why you could never use the armoury_entity to make an UMP (no clue what they call it now). Their whole current existence is vestigal code, it is not - and has not been for three years - supported.
As I said, the entities have not changed. The weapons did, but not the entities.

say i want to place one specific weapon in a room, like a secret bonus for those who find it, does that constitute a fy? i think not. ive done that plenty of times in both de and cs maps.
the weapons changed, yes...which in turn means your entities need updating, ive got a player_equipt ent that allows me to give anyone anything in CS(as of 1.5), including extra ammo. the whole point is i just want the ability, doesnt mean im going to use it right here and now.
if you dont know where to get the fgd, then just say so.

wow spazz, im guessing you dont play much counter-strike...
de= any map designed with bombsites (terrorists have to bomb specific area"s")
cs= any map designed with hostages (counter terrorists have to rescue the hostages or die trying)
these are mearly prefixes of the maps name, and have absolutely no affect on the map itself, but all respected cs mappers give these prefixes so others can quickly distinguish what maptype it is.

fy are those maps where there are either no buyzones, or there is one buyzone positioned so that ct's and t's have to fight for it...also they have weapons preset out on the map.
and i believe ka is either a clan, or its maps that were designed to be played as a game, no killing...like ka_giantbean...very fun map.
most prefixes are to desplay the clan for which the mapper is in or owns. post any other prefixes you want and ill try to give you an idea...but cs_ and de_ are the only ones you really need to worry about.

As you may notice, the link Mor7y has does not go to www.counter-strike.net because it was made third party, as I stated any changes to the fgd would be.
To repeat: THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL CS MAPS WITH WEAPONS LAYING AROUND.
I'm not calling your map necessarily a turd for having a weapon laying somewhere, at least not yet. I'm just saying a pure CS map does not include such a feature
KA is knife arena - there was a whole knife arena movement about two and a half years ago, with knife arena mappacks and whatnot. I hate to know the level it has probably sunk to now though.
And, like so many CS mappers (this drives me nuts more than anything else in the CS mapping world) you have completely written off AS_ maps. Assassination, the most intense and unique gameplay and quite honestly a ton of fun. But no one ever makes AS_ maps. It's so retarded.
Quite honestly, nothing has infuriated me more in mapping than just the level of ignorance and disrespect for gameplay that so many CS mappers seem to have. I used to be a part of the forums there and stuff but I left when I kept having purist aneurysms such as this.

where did i ever say that valve was going to be writing the new fgd file? i never said that, i however knew that with new weapons there would be a new fgd for cs.
hmm, well the one ka map i played (ka_giantbean) wasnt a killing map at all, infact the server would set alltalk on, and kick anyone who kills. the whole point of the map was to see who, and how many people could acually climb the beanstalk...very fun.
as for as_ maps, i myself only liked oilrig, other then that it seemed to easy for the terrorists to kill the vip, unless you got a good ct team (or horrible t team) but anyways, i guess i just forgot to mention as maps. SORRY!!!
P.S. Morty, change your post into an "answer to the problem" post so i can give ya credit.
