VIP Mod Play Test Tomorrow

[CSN NewsBot]

Update: There are now two servers ready for play tests later today:

paf2.nuclearfallout.net:27015

paf3.nuclearfallout.net:27015



Aching for some VIP action in your beloved Counter-Strike: Source? Me too and as such it comes as great news that a fan made VIP mod has been created. The mod comes courtesy of Punk Ass Fraggers and will be play tested tomorrow on the map as_italy.

On Thursday, August 18th 2005 we will be holding the very first open play test of the VIP Mod and the newly re-compiled as_italy map.



This will be open to the public and held on PAF Server #3 located at 66.150.164.43:27015. We will be holding this test at 7:00 PM PST for 90 minutes so come join the fun and see what as_ maps are all about.



Everything you need for this play test will be auto downloaded to your computer when you connect to the server so don't worry about having to install anything prior to the test. However, if you want to check out the as_italy map before the test, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT HERE.

I'm certainly ready, are you?

<3 VIP.



I've always liked assassination maps, it's a shame they never caught on.



Great news, to bad I'm on a 56k for the next week so I won't be able to join in the play test.



edit: for anyone who dosen't know, a quite well known css mapper called 'Dj' is creating his own as_oilrig for this mod. http://www.punkassfraggers.com/cgi-bin/...T&f=24&t=1616 - That thread which he made has some screenshots and info about the map.

yep yep! I'm stoked for this one. I found out a while ago about the as_oilrig dj is making but he said he would be putting it aside because they stopped development on the VIP plugin, so this is great news to me. VIP maps were always one of my favs. Let's hear it for PAF!!

woohoo

This looks like a nice addition to Source. Maybe if it is popular enough there will be official as_ maps.

[-:Nighthawk:-]

Arg, I would love to playtest, but I'll be getting home around 8:30 just as it finishes up. Whatcha think the odds are of them extending the playtest another hour or so?



Either way, glad to see there's some as_ action in the works, and combined with hearing that oilrig might be coming is enough to make me start playing CS:S again! That's my all-time favorite map, ya know.

Heh this is funny, a friend of mine is nearly done with an oilrig remake for CS:S. I think he was going to set it up that the cts just try to get a hostge to follow them or something like that. Now this is coming out, so maybe he can just do it right.

I wonder, is this something that can be used along with default CS:S on a server? Or does it have to run standalone and all you will play is as_ maps? Hrrmm... well I guess I should find out eh?

You can install the plugin on any server and play as normal. The plugin will only engage vip mode if you load a compatible as_ map.

Wow, first CSS: DM and now this. You gotta love the modding community.



P.S.: CSS DM roxorz, try it.

I know Wheel-Knee is making oilrig aswell which is going to be exactly like the original.



For anyone who's interested, here are some screenshots from the two versions of oilrig-

oilrig_dj looks awesome!

[RobinsonCutter]

leave it to the community to do right on what valve drags their collective ass. i'm really convinced that gabe newell just got hungry and fucking ate the original CS:S team.

[SoopaFlyYT]

Due to the response and the fact that CS Nation posted this front page yesterday (thanks guys YOU ROCK!!!), we'll be doing the test on both PAF servers. I'm also looking to up the player slots on both servers for the test.



paf2.nuclearfallout.net:27015 !PAF #2 CSS

paf3.nuclearfallout.net:27015 !PAF #3 CSS



Cya there!

Small Sumo has sent L.Duke (VIP Mod Plugin Creator) his completed VIP model and he integrated into the VIP Mod plugin. This model won't make it into the beta test tonight, but it will be the VIP in the final release. The test VIP model tonight will be Breen from HL2.
