Map Description

This map has a discussion topic which can be visited here

This is a conversion of an HL2 map i made not long ago. You can find it in my profile. This one is for www.Hidden-Source.com, a great mod which needs more players! Download the mod and have fun!



Changes since fHL2.







-.-Two new rooms and a vent.

-.-Alot more props to use as weapons.

-.-APPR. 35% larger, but it is oriented on playing more than running, so it feels alot larger

-.-A panel, when pressed, selects random lights and turns them off. The lights are turned back on after 30 sec's. Can be used every 35 secs.

-.-Not as light as the first one.

-.-Nightvision and flashlight are very effective tools in this map!



Settings I recommend: 2 rounds per Hidden, weight on, pigstick on. While the map feels large, it can get crowded, hence the pigstick. A very skilled Hidden would be able to kill the entire team with no trouble.



What/Who do i need? : I need 4-5 players to team up with me, and play the map! If you would like to get in the test, first



1: Download the map here http://83.133.125.116:81/web2/html/hosted/hidden/%5Biamacup.com%5Dhdn_nova_beta.zip

2: Add drshark_45@hotmail.com on Messenger, or send me a mail (you can also reply in this topic)

3: We'll schedule when to play.



Any help is much appriciated. If the map gets hosted on a server, please tell me so i can come and join ya! smiley



Just before i leave, some pics so it isn't all text! smiley



Screens delight!



The security room. A good view over the walkways







This is the secret weapon, the all mighty _BUTTON!_. Press it and random lights go out!







The lights in the background have turned off. The mighty button!11







The walkways. As you can see, it's an extension of the old area







More of the walkways







This is the entrance to the socalled "Box Room". The hidden can block it with the barrels! Tons of fun!







Teh box room! The hidden can hide on the edges, the boxes, or just taunt the "Retarded baboons" running around beneath him!







The escape / Hiding room for the hidden. You can see the vent in the distance. Only Hidden can enter this vent.







An overview of the entire map!









Thanks for reading / scimming this small novel, and i look forward to hearing from you

PS: Thumbnails work better than the uploading feature!

Please do not get the wrong impression. This is an ongoing battle that I cannot seem to win.

Take a moment and read my tutorial. It can be insightful.

Thumbnails are thumbnails, but they do represent images that will eventually load if clicked upon and anything over 100k is expressly forbidden for simple game shots.

We have an art thread where you can upload your artistry to your hearts content.. Some of the images are huge there.

In a nutshell, you do not expressly have to make them 800x600. You can have any size you wish but that one fits best in the browsers.

100k is the upper limit on file sizes.

On a side note, going below 60k just ruins your attempt at optimization. No one EXPECTS you to ruin your screens. It has been confirmed that 80 to 100k is optimal. XAT jpg optimizer is your friend.

OMG Sorry..... Didn't think it actually opened all the images, just the thumbnails :/. Bleh, will have to upload a bunch of new ones, which is going to take a while. I also don't have anything to resize it with (Paint won't work right?)

EDIT: 800x600 pics uploaded :P Ya'll happy now <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">?

Dr. Shark: Have you ever heard of compressing your images? I see that some of them are almost a full megabyte in size. I can tell you from experience that it takes quite a while for a 56k modem user to open those images. What I'm gently suggesting is that you optimize your pictures a bit further down to... lets say 60-80KB, before Orph rips you a new one. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
