Source Mapping Thread

[zone trooper]

I thought I might as well start a new thread for people who are making maps for any other source games like CSS, DoDS, Half Life 2 etc. I just released fy_source_funmapV1 for CSS and the link is provided below:

I'm also working on another map called de_outskirts and the screenshots are below. From the 23rd of Jan 2008 I think and it does need more work though so here is the screenshots:

The map keeps on improving btw, stills needs alot more work but I'm happy its starting to look and feel better and playing with the bots is now alot funner than it was when taking them screenshots some time back.

I've got some updated screenshots btw so here they are, sorry for bumping the topic. A few screenies for de_outskirts and a inHammer shot of de_district_six which is just a project I started a while back, stopped working on it and now I work on it a little bit.

Make it more detailed, it needs more buildings and interesting bits in it. (sewers perhaps?)
Make the walls brick as well.

The models of the police cars is from another person, can't remember the name though but I got them off FPS Banana. I got bored yesteday and was seeing if I could make Lockout (Halo 2 map) for CSS just for fun.

A map I'm making for Sourceforts, it looks a bit simple but most Sf maps are. This is the first map I've finished (I started my H&j map before this but I'm redoing it).

The wooden boards are there to make it hard for people to rocket jump onto the enemy's buildings (althogh it's still possible).
