I thought I remember seeing a post for guidelines on VSH mapping, but I cant look through 3k+ posts, does anyone know what has to be done for making a VSH map?

Im assuming

Remove all doors
Arena mode
1 spawn point for blu? I think hale is always blue on VHS
Lots of spawn points for red (or opposite if i have the colors mixed up)


anything else?

You should always have multiple spawn points for BLU, as it will choose one of them at random. This is best seen in vsh_farmfeud where the spawn for the boss can be on any of the rooftops or alleys in the map.

You should have at least 31 RED spawn points on a VSH map or you'll have multiple players overlapping on a 32-player server. Don't be afraid to give RED multiple spawn rooms like they do on vsh_crevice_b5.

If you put music on the map, add an info_target named hale_no_music. This will disabled music for any bosses that play music (CBS in VSH, CBS and any custom bosses that have music in FF2).

Make sure to put at least one observer point on the map to avoid crashes... although most players will be running the plugin that adds one if a map doesn't have any.

thanks for the tips.

The multiple spawn rooms will work nicely also, I didnt think of that.

I have a few observer points in place already because the map im currently building is also a KOTH map.

Do whatever you want, the whole point of the SourceMod license is to encourage stuff like that.

I'm sad that you think the development community is secretive .

Yeah, it makes me sad that some don't want to share a SourceMod plugin with anyone. Sometimes plugins other people make would benefit people a lot.

I was under the impression that SourceMod was named after the Source game engine, not because it's Open Source.

I was also under the impression that everything released on AlliedMods is by people that support the idea of open-source things.
