Maps & map-makers

[ChadSexington]

Are there any people left in the community capable of making maps suitable for CAL rotation?

I remember that there was one german guy who built several maps - but is he still doing it?

Is there anyone trolling these forums that knows how? I think it might be a good idea for some people to try to build a map - y'know, all orange first, and see if of the ones built we could get one into season 8/9 CAL rotation (I'm an optimist and think that will happen. Both the season and the new maps <g>)

I was drawing a few templates in paint that I thought were good... then I realized I had just drawn Harrington. Almost to a tee. Damnit. I'll keep trying and perhaps give it a go over the break.

Bauer was the Euro who made Lennon and Harrington/Bayeux, I'm pretty sure he said Harrington was going to be his last Source map but I could be mistaken

[netzsicherheit]

I will be getting back into mapping once I replace my bad stick of RAM. PM or xfire me if you have specific ideas.

[DaneNickels]

Any map with two double caps = amazing.

[ChadSexington]

I found its hard to avoid the rails/salerno/harrington formula.

[DaneNickels]

Which is why maps like Anzio are better.

[Xyretire]

Yes, Bauer was the one who was making most of the competitive maps for DoD:S. I'm also fairly certain he said he won't be making any new source maps unless the game gets a serious update.

[Switch]

yeah he was amazing
maybe he can remake aleutian from 1.3 to source.
or port it maybe idk.

Dart made a few maps that have been used in the cal rotation (ie- coire is his handywork). He still comes out from time to time, but I doubt he makes many maps anymore.

[bloodberry]

re-make rails and coire

[fuzz]

remake para_maps and pretty much any 3.1 map

I remember Bauer saying that he'll get back into it if valve shows interest in the game again or something along those lines.

Dart doesn't do DoD anymore, I think he just plays WoW or some other MMO from what Bennett told me

aye, he turned into a wow whore after s4. however, he was planning on releasing a new map at the first pa lan, but that went to the wayside when some stuff came up.

WoW Whores POR VIDA

i played aleutian on a dods server once,,, it was fun as hell. new maps are deffenetly a positve thing for the game and cal.

I think Chad just wants the get lime arena put into the cal rotation. Lime whore. Anyways Chad when are you going to finish making your moms house map so that it can be put in to the Cal rotation as well?

[ChadSexington]

I lost the files to that. I was thinking of trying to make a map over the break . . . I have a few paint things drawn out, but I don't think i'll have the time...

Though, maybe we could get people to put up a buch of paint maps . . . see which is the best and then get someone to make that.

Indeed.

If the coming update includes a cone of fire improvment i will download DoDS and Source SDK. Don't know if it will be a 1.3 port or a completely new map but of course i try to make it clanwar 6on6 suitable. (+updates for my other maps: santos strasbourg diversion)

[ChadSexington]

Yay!

So, now when the updates focuses on steamfriends and usesless dods updates, it will be TWO successive kicks in the balls!

Best update guesses so far :

Valve implements a realism style mod over a cof one
hadooken for assaults
Russian mod : You've died from cold and lack of supplies. Guess you shouldnt have invaded russia.
