Hi!

I've just released a beta of my "new" map. It is currently running on our TSF COUNCIL Server (85.234.149.108:27048) if you'd like to check it out.

This map is actually a recreation of a classic map: it first incarnated in Quake 1! It did come out for Half-Life: Opposing Force from whence I have converted it and am in the process of HL2'ing it but I gotta show someone how its coming along lol.

The map was originally called kandybase, and for Op F. is was named op4_kbase and my version is going to be called dm_kbase.

More pictures available on our TSF forums

Regards,

Really looking forward to playing this, I really enjoyed quake mapping back in the day, and this one was one of the best out there.

When you said your converting the map from Half-Life: Opposing Force do you mean just retexturing it and adding props to the map?

Not just texturing and adding props no...

Modications to the map include:

-added waterwall (thats to Captain-P for the muchanee falls and texture btw)
-added pipes
-streamlined brushes i.e. ramps gone form 32 to multi-pieced 8 pixels
-two areas lost from the conversion form kandybase to op4_kbase have been reintroduced
-3d skybox
-operatable crane which cna electrocute water/players
-2 secret areas, including a flooding trap
-sprial staircase in dead zone
-tower redrawn to be rounded with stain glass windows
-4 ladders to increase map gameflow
-combine architecture added on the edges of the map to make a hl2 feel to it
-two areas slightly redesigned to make rooms where the map had none

And I'm sure theres more - hard to think just whats changed in all the time I've spent mapping it! Its also why I personally like to check a map out by trying it rather than basing questions on screenshots Twisted Evil

Even at a base level tho every brush has had to be re-drawn because the conversion from HL1 makes all brushes up out of 1px sided pieces!
