cs_thunder

I was talking about redoing de_thunder, thats the map that was a Dam I believe..

Here is what I think we could use as a model for building a better more upto date thunder map..

This last link has a lot of images. This could also be a great HL2DM map.

If this should be in maps I am sorry..Was not sure since its just a discussion about a map and not a map in progress.

Funny you should show those pictures :o Not to long ago, I was working on a 1 man mod that I thought up, called "Lack of Structure." The premise being that you were in a dam that was collapsing around you -- I looked at several hoover dam pictures while I did a little work on the map...

Anyway, I wonder why valve got rid of cs_thunder -- I play it in Condition Zero, several times, and I thought it was excellent. I was particularly impressed with how easily you could get lost in the dam :smile:

Breaking the laws of mapping since 2003 and doing a damn fine job at it

I should get condition zero.. just to see the cool maps it has.

Don't make it the hoover dam, thats a little too large and boring, you'd be walking along and around it for days!

No But you could use it for some ideas on how to make the dam better, with real world attributes.

A damn map would be awesome!
Do you remember the dam in HL1? If that was made into HL2 but a lot more detailed then it would rock!

Theres a dam in Cornwall somewhere that would be perfect- its all in a forested park and s**t, and then its just a smaller version of the hoover (like 10 times smaller) but it still takes 4 minutes to walk it.

MS, why are you digging around for Hoover Dam shots when I posted a s**t load of them right here from when I was there?

The best things in life, aren't things.

Money-- I have some huuge resolution ones on my computer as well, from when I was digging around for source photos.

When do you want to do this?

I dont know. I am dead in the middel of this siege map im doing, and I have area 8 on DrGlass project still to complete as well. I also have oilrig to rework as well. But tis maybe a job for the cs map mosaic DrGlass and I were talking about on his forums. And Maybe one of the modelers could make a Hoover Dam like Plaque with all the maps and modelers who contribute stuff to the map to put in this map. I think that would be really sweet. I Just woke up so if this makes no sense at all that is why.
