      this was my last day of defeat map, made shortly before the release of dod source. i spent a lot of time perfecting this map, making it as detailed as possible while keeping the FPS and r_speeds low. unfortunately it got overlooked because of source and never really became popular. but since it was such a great example of proper goldsource mapping, i released the RMF file for it (so people can open it and look at everything in the editor).

      here are some screenshots:

      and the various versions of the map can be downloaded here:

        Well damn man. Putting all that time in and then getting usurped by the next big thing? That just sucks!

        I looked through the screenshots. Really good looking stuff. After doing a little mapping for CS 1.5 I understood really quick that anyone who could make something look remotely good on that old ass engine, is really talented. :)

        Looking through this stuff, I think it might be interesting to provide a manner in which to host user made maps. Hmmmm.

          oh i agree completely. it is really difficult to make pretty maps on the old engine because of all the limitations, and well, the blocky nature of it all. 98% of the custom day of defeat maps look hideously ugly, which is why i wanted to take the time to create a map with great gameplay that also looks good, and i'm glad someone else recognizes that! :D I believe it took something like 6 months from start to finish on each of these maps, which is a huge amount of time (probably working on it from 2-4 hours per day). however, i enjoyed every minute of developing them so it wasn't so bad :)

          uploading user maps would be awesome. i kind of did it on deviantart, but they don't have a section for it either haha. just had to squeeze it into 3d modeling or something like that :D

            Ok, well I am going to talk to the dev team about it and see if they start to choke on their drinks or if it's doable anytime soon. :)
