wd_outpost2 my first cs map release

http://www.geocities.com/rawrguilds/maps

is the zip file of my new map, and screen shots are in that link too i will be adding a lot more!

the map is a counter-strike map that takes place in a outpost sort of landscape, it has 3 buildings, all with breakable windows, 1 building is a gunshop with guns behind a unbreakable glass case that you arent suspose to get to, there is a total of 8 hostages, there are 3 army vehicals, and 2 towers, all of which i downloaded of this site, great site :biggrin: , theres plenty of hiding areas for terrorists to guard the hostages, its sort of dark outside cause its suspose to be almost night, so i got street lamps by the road, inside the buildings is pretty bright.
for more information please email me at: sfl_wilddoggie@sympatico.ca and if you have any comments you could give me on how to improve my future maps, im hoping to make a lot for any of these mods cs, tfc, dod, the specialists, and others

hostage maps, according to the CS official site, MUST be named:
cs_whatever
As a naming convention. meh.

are you serious?!
so like cs_wd_outpost2 would work

now i gotta go compile it with a new name? and then change the readme, the zip, and upload, that wont take long :sad:

The screenshots seem to take a long time to load and I have broadband, so they must be unusually large. Also, gifs can affect the quality of your picture. I'd recommend you find your bmps again and save them as jpegs, then bring them down to 50k with the xat.com jpeg optimiser. Don't change gifs to jpegs though, because you won't get the best quality.

No need to compile it just to change the name. You just.....well, rename the file.

rofl, to late i already compiled and saved under a new name and changed the readme and uploaded... i guess im really bored right now and im doing things the hard way for a odd reason, and the glass maze im gonna be doing next sounds like a good idea, im just gonna make a maze with glass brush, then imma take all the center pieces and make them a enity_breakable, but change it to unbreakable, and change the other stuff so its see through, rofl, people will be so confused.... but what do you think about the idea? i remember posting something like that long long ago...

Heh cool. Just read Wildcards sig and stick to it though.

OK first release

You'll probably get some r'speed problems if everything in the room is seethrough, especially when everybody starts smashing up the glass. If you can get it to work alright with decent r'speeds, use func_walls instead because they are unbreakable.

Post pics, tht makes ppl more interested. In theory.

You'll definately get more response if you post the screenshots in your thread, preferably resized and optimised for all of our 56k users (like me).

Seems a fair enough start, you understand the basics of making a world. From here I'd try and move on to creating more "realistic" and interesting worlds. Add variations in height, sloping roofs, frames for doors, grates, gutters and so on. Have a poke round some CS maps of a similar nature, or take a look at peoples work on here - the best levels are as far from the "box" design as you can get :smile:
