Map Building Team

lol, why dont you just wait till youre off work?

wahoo this is gonna be fun?
When is that meeting again and how are we holding it?

It needs to be some sort of group chat...can you do that with AIM?

BTW, i dont wanna do textures or lights, cant really do eaiter :(
I guess ill learn.
 
I still haven't figured out Hammer yet. I think I'd rather be a map tester, because I'm probably better at CSS than I am at mapping. I'll check out the forum Epi makes and see what I can do to help. Bug tester?

Hello! Yes. You can use hammer as well.

Alright, I like the idea of a forum.

The meeting is Saturday (tomorrow) the 1st, at 7pm (-6 gmt(aka, central time)). It will be held with steam friends/chat thing. It does support chat rooms and even voice chat! My STEAM friends name is kobaj (Although, Ive discovered, if your having problems try kobaj_g). Ive pretty much said other ways to contact me and such on previous pages.

Lets say your specialty is not lighting, then you dont have to do it! Make the map more balanced, or something that IS your specialty. And yes, I do think we will need several beta testers.

Cant wait to see the new forum/hold the meeting. :).

Alrighty! So we finally have a workable map/vmf, check the CFmappers forums (have to register) or you can download it here(right click save as) and work on it and post through the regular CF forums.

Everything needs work so take your pick on what to do.

Some notes, it started in hammer source engine 14 (half life 2 episode 2) but you can still edit it with the hammer source engine 7 (half life 2), just some entities and textures will come up as "errors". It is a single player map.
 
Map Build Off!!!

Well as it would seem, I think we arnt enthusiastic enough. So I demand a Map Build Off Competition!

The rules
-This will be a regular plant the bomb map, Counter Strike Source.
-At least 1 bomb plant area.
-You must post here and say you are participating, if you are participating.
-1 week to complete, starting the minute I post this. If everyone who is participating needs more time, more will be granted.
-Must have 5 different textures (glass and skymap count!).
-Must have glass.
-Must have 5 physics objects.
-Must have 3 light sources (sun and light_environment dont count).

Thats about all the rules I want to put in place, but if it someone gets out of hand, I can put more. I also tried to make it somewhat interesting.

What you win
-Make the rules of the next map. (Except it must be css).
-Define what the map is (bomb, surf, etc...).

Thats about it for the winnings, Im not the best at art or photoshop or anything, but if someone wants to contribute like a free sig for the winner, that would be awesome! :D.

The map will be judged by our very own CF members with a POLL. At least 3 members have to participate! (More will be accepted :)!!)

Good luck, have fun.
 
Sorry, I havent been involved as I should be, being the Creator and all.

Just been busy with web design stuff mainly.

I'll see what I can muster. Count me in though.
