Hello everybody. Some time ago I've made several maps for source, these
maps were then put into a package I've named as Highlander's Maps. Two
of them are completely my work, the last map, called the Nightmare Map,
is half based on content from the sourcesdk_content folder.Highlander's Maps

- City map

This map is mainly for scenery, no gameplay.

- Cliff map

Same as the City maps. It's set in the same world
as the city map, on a red dwarf star's planet.

- Nightmare map.

This maps isn't fully my work, I've used architecture from the few
maps
in the sdk content folder. The map is set in a never ending
nigthmare,from wich you can't escape from. Either you get killed before
you escape, or the building collapses.

The game is pretty much revolving around my life and the events in it. There
are two endings. Finding the right one depends on how much you look out.

Though I was originally going to take this map out, and only have the other
two in it, but a friend of mine convienced me that I should release the map
pack with every map in it.

The map is hard as hell, the first part is best achieved by remaining in cover,
so that you can't be shot even through the grate's holes. They can't shoot you
through the railing.

I hope you enjoy it!

Also, thanks to Ha1fer for his Dll's, and to Akira Yamaoka and Komei Satuo for the music.

You know, this sounds pretty scary. Please don't kill yourself or anyone near by.
Why snark works.

Well, here it is, and updated and healthier version of Highlander's
Maps. This version contains a lot more detailed environment and a horde
of fixed bugs. The main improvements are in the Nightmare map.

This map pack was made by me, Andrew "Highlander" Lucas. In this map
pack you can see three maps: A City, a Cliff map, and a Nightmare map.
The first two are there for sight-seeing. The third map is maybe what
the map pack mainly concentrates on.

The story of the third map:

You are Dylan Henderson, a weirdo from reality. You have a crush on the
video game character Maria. In reality, you are constantly being
bullied and tormented by inner demons. You have a variety of
personality disorders, some of wich you are proud of. One day, you wake
up in a crumbling, monster-ridden building.

You can't get out of the building. Either the building collapses before
you can get out, or the creatures inside it kill you. But every time
this happens, the whole thing starts over again. This has happened
dozens of times before. By now you start to realize that this might not
be happening in your head, but an alternate reality created by your
mind.

As this happens, you get the glimpse of a ship on the river, with
someone standing on it, waiting. The person looks similar, but you
can't decide who it is. The next time you wake up, your goal will be to
reach that ship, in any way possible.

The map is really complex. It contains a lot of hints and signs, most
of wich you might not even understand. I won't include any
explanations. The gameplay here is like in Silent Hill, I want to leave
you wondering about each ending.

This mod contains copyrighted works of Ha1fer, Team Silent, Valve
Software's and my work. I take full credit for what's my work, from the
maps to the porting of the Maria character to the Source engine. I want
to credit Team Silent for making the character, and
Jaapvanderwulp for ripping the character from Silent Hill 2. Without
them, Highlander's Maps would've stayed on the same level as it was
when I made the first release.

I'm inluding the following screnshots:
