Making Custom CS Maps?

[YO_MA_MA]

ive made a few in the past, some people have actually offered me $50 for them, sadly i never finished those :( anyway if i found all my map making programs and decided to put together a 2f4f map just for fun before school starts would it get played on the custom map cs server? (if its worthy that is)

most maps ive made are fairly basic, and if i wasnt hosting them on my server (at the time) i didnt release them to other players due to their not perfectness. if i did one it would be flawless but might take a week or so.

if someone has an idea for a 2frag4fun related map, let me know by a reply here and if your lucky ill pick your idea and make it how i see fit. please provide lots of ideas ^_^. (sadly im not the best at custom textures because i couldnt figure out how to set a server to download additional files so ive always used the basic dust/aztec etc maps that everyone has already. also this makes the map download size relatively small)

looking to hear from u soon.

ive always like maps like battlefield where it's not too complicated (As in what to do) and it's very fun to play.

well i would make a counterstrike map, probably a DE_xxxxx or something. i havent done anything in a while so id have to re-learn everything. but that will come back fast so im not worried. any ideas? cus i notice the 2 of the 3 CS servers arent very populated.

For our purposes, prob a dm or fy map. No good ideas now, will get back to you if I have any.

Off topic, but fy_buzzkill is awesome.

[dvsman04 is a noob!]

we need some new maps because alot of people get bored playing the same maps over and over thanks for the offer and good luck

de map blow up the lan party using basic textures but try to make like a convention center with rows of computers a park outside with trees ect to hide behind ct's can be the 2f4f lan partyers and the T's can be the cops tring to blow up our fun. pizza place in there comp usa or something. come on we can help you make a custom wad file psst the custom wad is what holds your custom textures

i like your idea silent, i was ganna blow up my house at one point and have the neighborhood be the map.. but i like your idea better

i got to see if i have all the programs all configured still.. (probably not cus i reformatted but they arent to hard to set up) anyway ill keep in touch, school starts the 20th and my new job on the 4th. ganna be busy..

im sorry im double posting, i cannot edit any of my previous posts. what about changing it to a hidden map... i just downloaded hammer for source.. ill mess around see how different it is and maybe... i told someone id make them a warcraft3 map (modded, custom, etc)... so might be a while. i have 1 month of no school after Christmas so i might be able to do some stuff then.

If it is for cs... If the map is good with good FPS for 32 people i will add it to the dust server. I like maps that are simple with some long hallways but not too many.

FOr hidden... Silents house would be a real scary place :D

sorry if im in the wrong section now, i didnt have hidden when i started this thread. my first thought was a mansion style but do you have a floor plan of silents house? or anything else to go off of? maybe he can send some pictures =P

thx for the tutorials, i have used hammer A LOT in the past and not a whole lot has changed so i should be able to pick it up. just to see what i remembered i made the front of a mansion like building, took maybe 20 minutes *attached, the green shape is the size of a human in-game*

edit: i admit texturing isnt my strong side but i can make just about anything... time for the tough stuff though >.>

[sharpie]

for sure man. wish i knew how to make maps..seems like it would be fun.

my only sugguestions are keep it simple and add maybee one or two close quarter fighting spots

[YO_MA_MA]

yeah if you just draw an idea out on paper / photoshop / paint or something post it and maybe ill get some crazy idea off it. that image is the basic sketch for a hidden mansion map i was thinking about but i may do CS maps as well.

for CS maps it uses an older version of the editor, one i currently dont have installed but i think i can configure the newer one to work with older files. who knows. though this weekend im ganna hopefully get into a beta stage on a different project im doing (warcraft3) and if/when that is done i will probably move towards a CS1.6 or a Hidden Source map.
