Nightly News With Ritchey007

[CSN NewsBot]

And for tonight's show...

• dark [po] has informed us of a counter-strike aim expression. the popular chat client aim has the site aim expressions which has various skins for the chat window. you can download the counter-strike skin here.
  
  
  
  
• rk^b0j4ngl3s has designed a movie tutorial for anyone thinking about making a movie.

  i just thought this might help some of those good counter-strike players show the world their crazy skills. i also hope to be releasing my movie soon, i am expecting it to be about the same length as frag or die with similar (heh, hopefully almost similar) crazy shots.

  good luck on your movie adam.
  
  update: he's uploaded the tutorial to a new host. the link should now work fine.
  
  
  
  
• since everyone loved the map last night, here's another one.

  the map takes place at a dock on a dark, stormy night. terrorists are trying to stop a cargo shipment by either destroying the cargo itself or the ship that is to transport it. the environment emphasizes darkness (in lue of the name) but also has enough light to get to the target areas without aid... however, night vision goggles will definately help and expand potential movement area. on the contrary, it is scary as nut (not to mention fun) to run around in the real dark areas (like the coal yard) and wait until the random lightening flashes reveal your environment... it just might reveal an enemy for a split second or two > - always makes me jump, hehe.

  de_dark is available for download from fileplanet or his personal site.[break="clicky for some shots"]

De_dark looks pretty tight, I wonder if the rain w/ fuck up my fps like DoD did. I was looking for a movie making tutorial to make a real movie, not like frag or die and such. As much as I love skill movies, it's getting really repetitive and less amusing the more i watch it. Only skill movie i really liked was just a 15 sec clip of a 3D guy fragging a whole team in like 8 seconds with an mp5 and a usp. If any of u guys are interested in working together with me on a movie project, feel free to e-mail me at sk8gitar723@yahoo.com or msg me on AIM sk8gitar23. We would need to work on a plot and such, get a crew / actors and such. Since I'm probably going to major in film and music, I would think this would be a great way to load up on my portfolio. I really liked Milita by family god, so it would be great to get pointers from him also, if anyone of u know him.

De_dark has some work to go before I can consider it a moderate map. It's a wonderful concept, the problem is that both the CT's and the t's spawn in complete darkness, and you have no idea where to go to get to the opposition. The entire map is just that: Dark. You can't see any other player unless the lightning lights up the place, and then only for 3 or 4 secs. I played around with it for 5 mins before I got frustrated. I like the concept and the layout, but its got just a bit of tweaking to do. The rain didn't kill my FPS for some reason, and that is a good thing in my book.

Very nice aim expression, but the size of the im windows are a bitch

Nope, they have all been submitted. Answer my ICQ please n@rb3t

[Keisuke Takahashi]

dark sounds good. come to think of it, they should have more night maps that you can use the night vision goggles more...

That happens to be my favorite CS movie as well. It was X3 Morgan (back in the day, lol) owning all of [rdw] in just under 5 seconds. :) Friggin awesome. Not sure why they named the vid "x3rambo.avi" though.



That is one of those videos that, had the demo been released under someone else's name, would have been redone with a wallhack on and labeled as a cheat video, lol. He's just that damn good.



Anyway, that is the kind of skill movie that I appreciate - short, to the point, and simply amazing. Shy of that, though, I too think I'm developing a taste for directed movies. Hopefully some of you will be inspired by this guide to make your own movies, and even more hopefully they won't suck. :)



As far as the AIM thing, well, I use Trillian, so I have nothing to add. The map... well, interesting concept but (I'll admit I didn't download it) judging from the comments, it needs a few things worked out. And I hate dark maps. Rotterdam was too dark imho, and it was my all time most hated official map. The fact that I always did poorly on that map is purely coincidental.

its named x3rambo because rambo is his online name and morgan is his real life last name (CAL requires the players to play with their official last name and not their online alias)



i'll try de_dark when i get home.. my brightness is jacked up tho so it'll just look like antoher rainy map for me lol, i hope its better than that other map (concept sounds good)



what does that movie tutorial do tho, stupid firewall at school won't let me access it if it teaches you to use different programs to compile your movie that would be great but I guess some people still don't know how to use startmovie, record, viewdemo, and gg to make their movies :P
