New map

[CSN NewsBot]

I've been working on this on and off for a while now, it's more of a side project than anything. It's a new map based in a quarry, imaginatively titled "de_quarry". It's just a shell right now, very very basic architecture and layout, certainly nothing even close to final but a start none the less.

Here are a couple of screenshots, note that it's still very early and may or may not be set at night. We'll see how things develop.

I think it could be a pretty good setting, some big diggers and trucks would fit in nicely. Lot of working conveyors, too.

New map

DaveJ has updated his website to feature pics of his upcoming CS map based around a europe theme.. Wow that's one big link! Umm, anyhow, Dave is known for sucking long hard... smarties and mapping cs_tire and de_dust.

hmm, i think at night it'd be too hard to spot anyone, or at least it would be with that lighting. otherwise would be interesting to see how it turns out

[narby]

ya but scud there is no lighting. It's not been added !

those screen shots dont do any form of justice yet, but to me, quarry SCREAMS rain. ive not seen many maps take advantage of the rain trick, mainly cause you have to have 3 entities just for each drop i guess, but anyways, you should add as an easter egg the word silas marner somewhere cause of his whole quarry thingy - or am i thinking of another story where they found a dead body in a quarry... anyways, there arent many nighttime maps, infact the only ones i can think off the top of my head are storm and backalley.

interesting it would be worth it i think with right design..and with rain would make things kinda neat

[HobblinHarry]

yeah you could put puddles at the bottom of the quarry to make it look like its actual rain, and if you scatter the rain out it shouldn't be much of a problem FPS wise, you know, make it like a slight drizzle



btw what happened to ns_romana and de_comdrade, i know they haven't made it into their respective mods yet, but the info for said maps is missing on your website, narby. it says "invalid map"

[Lestat]

dont worry narb, scud is blind anyways... ; X



kev

[cHic0!]

It reminds me of one map from Rogue Spear, but I forget the name of it.



And rain sux, don't add it

[salu]

Looks promising Narby. Will you be able to shoot out of the windows of the raised tunnel? THat would be good.



I like the rain idea. Wet and dirty maps are noticibly rare in CS.



What about a really tall crane that you could snipe from?

Spot the AWP whore...

Oh and a question to you barney: You updated Aztec and Inferno.



Do you plan on updating any of your other maps such as Thunder or Vertigo?



anyways back to quarry:



another suggestion, well i dont know if CS has a fog entity like some other mods, but fog in the map would be cool if you dont use rain

[PCF|Herman D]

I think Quarry would be an ace setting, it has so many possibilities its untrue!

I think late evening, dark ish, rain and just lots of atmos.

[NBnate]

just as long as the explosion excedes the actual size of the map ill be happy.

must say, those thunder texture colors are quite the fruity, but the map blows my mind at how awesome and fun it can be, did they take it out of the official list because whenever server i played on switched to it people disconnected hella lot without even joining a team (they would have at least tried to map/said goodbyes)
