interview: an afternoon with nipper

[CSN NewsBot]

Everyone who has played CS has probably played a custom map at some point. A great number of these people have probably also played a custom map crafted by the mapper named NIPPER. Crazytank anyone? He's the subject of our latest interview here at CS-Nation. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll have to give the man who conducted the interview, HeLLy, a big pat on the back for bringing us this look into the mind of NIPPER.

CS-Nation: As far as maps are concerned - what map type do you like making the most? cs_, de_, or your own custom maps with no objective?



NIPPER: de_ maps are my favorite, I guess. I would like cs_ the most if hostages could navigate my maps better.

The interview spans two pages and will give you, the reader, some small idea what it takes to become one of the best known custom mappers in the CS community. Enjoy!

Nipper rocks.



Now if only I could find CS:S servers playing his maps instead of gungame textureless ones, or zombie mod, or RPG, or Deathmatch, or...

Nipper's still alive?

then why doesn't he adjust the nav maps so that the hostages will do just that? *sigh*

Three cheers for Nipper, map maker extraordinaire. Nothing beats a nipper map for lulz/min ratio.

The navs don’t even help half the time. The bots will navigate perfectly while the hostages get stuck.

Maybe one day they will fix the hostage AI. :/

Then why don't you just make your OWN hostage AI, lazy. Sigh.

That's about as likely as getting bug fixes.



Anyway, I remember playing quite a few NIPPER maps way back. Good times.

Best response ever:



Map clones are horrible. Like de_dust20023433 and fy_iceworld9784_super_fullbright_novis.
