My name is Rich and I am the author of the DM_RICH maps. I was playing WoW for a year and lost track of mapping, finally I am back in time to release DM_RICHLAND. DM_RICHLAND is a sequel to DM_RICHS_APT. It took a long time to produce it, and I'm not just talking about the WoW vacation. I spent the last month bringing an old beta version to the condition you see now. Elements were created, playtested, cut, changed, and rebuilt. Virtually all of the interior textures are custom made for this map. Each apartment is uniquely decorated to reflect a personailty. Of course the gameplay is incredible, but many people who come by my server to play the map just spend their time exploring or playing around. Play it here: feralbeast.com:27015

"This cube is small and stupid! I am annoyed!"
I made this map in a few hours with the specific goal of making a quick
and effective kill or be killed deathmatch level. There is no fun in
this level without death. Yeah - its small. Its a small boring cube.
But its pretty, and it plays well enough. If you want a tiny map that
will rack up the kills quickly, you can't do much better than this.

HL2DM Rich's Apartment
Best suited for 6-16 players.

Filename: dm_richs_apt.bsp

MODE D'EMPLOI: Unzip the file "dm_richs_apt.bsp" to your
"half-life 2 deathmatchhl2mpmaps" directory.

FEATURES:
  • A 4 unit apartment building for great close-quarters combat.
  • A laundry building and an open street area for when you need to get some air.
  • Secret passages between all four apartments! Hidden murder holes!
  • Hidden locations that arent hard to find, but may give you an edge if you
bother to use them.

KNOWN ISSUES:
  • The buggy will not appear on dedicated servers without installing a
vehicle patch, but this is not a problem with my map in particular.

Is this really your apartment?
Yeah, kinda. I haven't made a map since Doom 2, so when I felt inspired to
learn 3d mapping, I decided to start by creating the inside of my apartment.
When I made the map bigger, I recreated the design of my neighboring apts,
and created an exterior. After playtesting this on my server for a while, I
made a few adjustments, cleaned it up, and a few versions later I have a
working deathmatch level thats lots of fun to play, and happens to bear a
striking resemblance to a low-rent apartment complex in Iowa City, IA.

I'd like to thank you for downloading my map - I hope you enjoy it just as
much as I enjoyed making it. This is a fun map to explore, and a great
deathmatch level. There's something here for everybody, you just have to
search it out.
