New (first?) CSS:DM-specific custom map! DM_Metalgrid

AnarkiNet · **Author**

Well, first off, awesome job with the DM mod. It's got a few quirks, but im hoping/sure those can be worked out...

Anyways, I was messing around in hammer, not really doing anything productive, then i got a flash of inspiration: A new map designed only for CSS

M!

and, DM_Metalgrid was born.

(link to the original thread on my game modding site: http://game-advance.net/e107_plugins...iewtopic.php?9)

anyways, without further ado, a download link and...some images!:

Looks nice! Does it come with a spawn point file, or I guess that's not even necessary since it's your own map

yeah its got 20 spawn points for each team and theyre placed all over the place (i tried to make them behind at least a wall or corner so spawnkilling would be reduced.

also, i tried and failed to make a .res file for the map for those wanting put it on a dedicated server...it just didnt want to work :/

if anyone can post a working .res file, that would be great.

This .res should work:

Code:

"resources"
{
"maps/dm_metalgrid.nav" "file"
"maps/graphs/dm_metalgrid.ain" "file"
"materials/dm_metalgrid/metalhull013a.vmt" "file"
}

grr! thats the same as what i had, i think...

perhaps i was putting it in the wrong directory?

other source maps that i had had their .res file in the cstrike\maps\ folder...

Yes, that is correct... I'll go ahead and throw the map on a server to test.

Edit: Just tested on my server and it seems to work (70.86.75.130:27016).

300fps.. possible with SLI or Crossfire ;)

Strike Harder · 10-01-2005 , 12:33 Need a mirror?

Hi I haven't tested it out yet as I need to go to work 30 minutes ago..
Anyhow I added the res (again not tested) and zipped it up, then bzip2'd the needed files for upload to a http server. (Fast downloads in game.) Here is the links, should be done uploading in about 5-10 minutes.
(discontinued per author's request)
Here is the exe:

Should I be requested again, to offer a zip (by the author) I will.

Perhaps you would like to test them out first, but feel free to use this as a mirror. I have unlimited bandwidth.

Thanks for mirroring...however, id like to keep the distribution in its original state (the executable installer) as it includes information about the map author (me), contact info, and is generally alot easier to install for the user.
If you could host the packaged version, that would be much better, thanks

(for the server admins that want to put it on their servers, i will host a .gz file that the server admins may download)

also - csm2.net has put my map up:
