That Eula is a load of s**t- valve messed up with thier whole bronze silver and gold editions... big time, but yet all versions come with CS:S don't they?!

I thought it was illegal to redistribute CS:S assets?

That's illeagal? Gah, what happen to valve's sense of allowing people to do what they want :razz:

I know stuff about HL1 moddeling, but HL2 stuff still escapes me.
I assume that maybe you can still decompile and HL2 model and "edit" it
just enough so nobody can say that it's from CS:S.. ?

I would like to those hanging sheets as models rather than textures.. It would look real nice.

Wow this map looks cool, especially the cartoony look!

this is really looking awesome.

and yes, using CS:S stuff in anything other than CS:S is illegal, it's in the EULA.

I thought it was illegal to redistribute CS:S assets?

The thing I feel needs modelling the most are the tops of the buildings- BUT, a time saver....

De_dust for CS:S has domes and such, look into its props... You could always just reskin the de_dust props.

• Okay, since everyone thinks it needs models, I'm inclined to agree

and I'm going to try to learn the model pipeline and such. I was kind
of putting it off because I'm doubtful I'll have time for the deadline,
but I guess it's neccesary.

• I make all of my own textures. Before I would rework photos from

Mayang and such, but that wasn't producing very cartoony results, so
now I find myself painting more often. A Wacom really helps!

• Fireworks sound crazy enough to work. I'll look into it. :wink:

Geeze, this competition is turning into a lot more work than I thought. But I guess that's a good thing? :smile:

Random idea: fireworks. The in game view looks like it would be awesome
with fireworks :smile: Would also completely set your map apart from any
others I've seen in...well...anything really. Dunno how it would best
be achieved - sprites are a bit old school and perhaps not suited to
all angles they could be seen from, but I've no idea about how
effective (or possible) any sort of custom particle systems are in
source without resorting to actual coding.

Campaignjunkie, do you make all your own textures or do you have one of
those keebler elves locked away in your room making them?
