This was my entry to the "DM2SP" competition (see PlanetPhillip entry). It is based on my HL2DM map "dm_balcony".

In this short rescue mission, you have to help Uriah, a Vortigaunt scientist, escape from a combine prison by guiding him to a teleporter. I had to use some entity hacks to get him to follow the player. You can command Uriah to stop or continue following you by pressing the use key on him (classic HL1 mode).

For the finale, you can use a bunch of friendly roller mines to set up a defense. Remember, the only way to destroy roller mines are explosives, to think twice before using grenades...

dm_compact is a small, dense map suitable for 1 on 1 matches or very low playercounts. Because of it's size there is no RGP.

Currently in early Alpha stage (dev-textures).

Beta1 is out!

Changes in this version:

• many, many minor fixes
• removed the corridor that leads to the ladder (it's now outside)
• finally did the proper texturing
• refined brushwork at places
• changed a few stairs and catwalks
• added a few more connections
• opened up the mall/underground area
• tuned the RPG trap
• added: numerous light fixtures - and lights!
• added: physics props for better gravegun fights

The map is set in the slums and abandoned industrial areas of a kilometer-high, futuristic city. Corrugated sheet iron and concrete. Some parts stand underwater. Sunlight falls in small chasms but mostly stays a glow in the distance. HDR, mmmm.
