de_torn

As some of you know I am working on a remake of de_torn for CSS. Check out my site for full details.

(I would've written more can't copy and paste anything)

Is there no way to post some more detailed/closer pictures bud?

That skyview one makes my vertigo kick in somethin fierce.

The second pic is an overview shot of the original de_torn. It's to show how close the remake will be to the original.

Well, I am overwhelmed..

I would be curious to see your version.. I could care less for the original, unless that would be you as well. I really do not care about maps made by people not from SP..

The original was made by Crinity and Madcross.

I thought someone already remade de_torn? Like the original Crinity guy or something...

Crinity dropped off the face of the planet years ago.

Yeah. Last time I checked his site the newest thing was dated 2001. I
wonder what happened. Well so far to my knowledge know one has remade
de_torn for CSS.

I ran across this by accident. Apparently Crinity (the creator of
de_torn) had done some level design consulting for NS. Scroll to the
bottom of the page.

Spartan. It would be nice, if you actually credited Crinity a little more blatantly on your site. It's a small thing that goes a long way. Good luck on the map, though - Its a beast of a project.

Yeah I'll make sure to do that. I'm not trying to rip off his map and say it's mine. I'm just remaking it for CSS. That's all.

Well just give credit to the original mapper, but the Source map is indeed yours. heck you took the time to make it, update it and make it better.. so you deserve some credit for sure. So tell these other peeps to shut there pie holes and do what you do. =)

A fellow mapper over at Interlopers ported all the vehicles from desert
storm to Half Life 2. So I'm going to have him scale down the mig
jetfighter to be used in a 3D Skybox.

I wasn't suggesting you don't do it. By all means go ahead. Just make the credit to the original author a little more obvious on your site. I would be utterly flattered it someone remade one of my maps...but I'd damn sure want everyone to know that it was mine first :smile:

Moneyshot its not such a big deal because everyone knows the original map. Thats like praising the author of de_dust whenever anyone makes a version.

my point Exactly Myrk. =)

How is what Myrk said your point?

So far I have never ever seen a remake of torn. Everyone knows Crinity
and Madcross made it and I mentioned their names as the original
creaters. Like I said before though the current version of the map I'm
making for CSS is 100% mine down to every brush. I looked at over 100
reference pictures of torn I took and constantly ran through the map to
make sure I had the layout looking like torns. Now that that is done,
I'm adding in all the detail, textures, models, etc. I think though
when I start releasing some screenshots you'll all be surprised how
much of an improvement it was, both in terms of gameplay and visuals.
