Instructions:
copy the file into the following directory and start hl2 Dm, then start a new match and select it from the map list:

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\kipmantech\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\maps

(replace kipmantech with your steam acount name)

It is my first map but please treat it like any other map and be very critical!

0,4 is lower down page

 

Couldnt upload some screenshots for those who want to view before download?

 

sure I'll get right on it

 

here it is! sorry about the picture quality my pc runs it @ 1024x768 no AA or AF medium detail

 

I can't see anything. I hope the map isn't that dark throughout.

 

tis quite dark but no reary dark corners because of dim white lights dotted aroound. Try it and I think you will like it

 

Sorry, but any sniping positions in DM suck ass :/

 

why? there are ways to kill a sniping noob rearly easy on this map

 

That's fine. As long as someone cant stand on top of everyone and just fire rockets.

 

The roket launcher is a sorta trap an experianced player can use against noobs as its in the very center of the map... next to explosive respawning barels

 

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA instant ownage for anyone that wants the launcher!!! How sweet. I will have to download this when i get home from school and vs my friends 1v1. Its gonna be great!!!

 

I have a new version Im going to release shortly with some more girder and some duckt work and more light as I have a bright monitor I didn't rearlise how dark it was on others pcs!

 

unless you use the gravity gun to pull it towards you or blow the barrels first.

 

Lol I did say it was a noob trap...

real players go onto the railings above and knock off a barel onto the rocket doodes head

 

sounds cool

 

New version :
I have made it alot brighter
also I have created a new vetelation system which creates a sorta mid floor thingy!

have started work on an underground bit with an opwards pointing spot light for cool shadows

 

What do you use to map? and is it easy? They have that orange thing dont they..? Ive tried using worldcraft before and it was totally unobvious so i just gave up.

 

well before Hl2 I tried mapping in the following games:
warzone 2100 - Easy but very blunt tools takes ages
Call of duty - Imposible editor is hell and all tutoials suck
HL1 - simlar to cod but not as bad but I gave up
Avp2 - made a very basic level but my pc wasn't up to it at time
Max payne - took one look at editor and gave up

So as you can see Im not exactly a mapper but I have always wanted to make maps just never been able to understand the editors...

the HL2 editor is different though its rearly easy

Just start the SDK from the play games menu on steam, then make sure the bottom drop down box is set to HL2 Dm. Start hammer from the SDK window and click on help>help topics and take the beginers tutorial... teaches you very well how to use editors basic functions!

using no more knowlage than what I got from the tutorial and what I found along the way I made this map

 

I tried making a CS map for HL1 and just wanted to drag and drop stuff, but its never that easy and i didnt know how to start Will have a go at HL2 SDK sometime next month
