The problem with flashing over the wall like that at long a though is from what I've seen the flash "disappears" into thin air so we don't even see it in the air on our side and we're flashed without any warning. Might be a good strat since its allowed in cal but I find it an exploit since there's no way for the ct's to react to it except by always having to assume they will be flashed and to move back like we did. edit: *shrug* guess I'm in the minority though.

One thing I would like to add is next time no using known exploits. Might not have made much of a difference but that was the one thing I was dissappointed to see happened.

Whenever I think of the knifing rounds I think of the "Beat It" video. Are we doing choreography for them? I know one problem with hltv a lot of people have (myself included about 50% of the time) is that the fps drop some but we also get double or triple vision. Makes it unbearable sometimes.

Gracias. I've been reading and fiddling a little so far but will probably make the leap and try to make a 4 walled room tomorrow (empty just want to make a 'working' map first and learn the basics). Heh I know I'll have to take my time and no idea whether I'll actually get the hang of it but hey its something fun to pass the time with right now.

To be honest I'm not sure how long this craving will last but I'd like to take a look at possibly messing around with map making. I have a few maps I'd like to toy around with from old cs days I'd like to bring to source but have no idea if I'd even be able to make anything worth playing or not. Are there any good online tutorials for mapmaking out there for source? Keep in mind I've never made a map before, its just something I'd like to play around with and see if I come up with anything decent in my spare time. Any help would be appreciated.

gracias

I miss cs_bunker and cs_desert (minus the skywalkers heh). I'd love to see an updated version of bunker over anything. Heck if I get bored enough I might try to actually make a map (though I've never tried before lol).

Was going to play some on the server but the admins here forgot to unban me... Some assistance if anyone has the time would be very nice. edit: forgot steam again is STEAM_0:0:4658688

btw... I'm still banned. rofl.

Not sure how to find out if they're abandonware or not. They don't offer support to them to my knowledge anymore and you can't buy them so I assume they are. I have my cd to DoTT myself and I owned all the other ones at one time just not sure where my cd's are anymore (and some were on floppies which we know don't work after this much time) so I don't mind downloading them (which I am right now... just can't find beneath a steel sky =\ ). The place I'm downloading them has them listed as abandonware but I'm not sure I'd trust that. edit: golly gee! I found it!! it and some others are freeware... check out www.scummvm.org under downloads. You can get a lot of them there along with the program if you need it too.

It only emulates back to windows 95. It lets the games run but they don't have sound. ScummVM works! golly gee! its awesome. Looks like it will run any of the old point and click games great (and easily). I got sam n max and DoTT to run on it so far and now just need to get the other games again. Man I'm so happy right now! *hugs himself* Have to find the all the good old space quest games now and beneath a steel sky and the others. Those games were so fun back in the day. edit: hmm wonder what I typed for it to put in the golly gee in there lol... Didn't think I put any swear words in. heh sorry for that but wish I knew what I did so I don't repeat it lol.

heh I got that thanks... somewhat confusing but I got it to work some but had no sound. Going to try this other program and if it doesn't work I'll give that one another shot.

Little hint... cs_twilight owns me... played it for the first time yesterday and went around 0 and 20. Good map, just couldn't get a feel for it. Its like a two story office. Venge says he's going to switch it to that map from now on when I'm on. *cry* Thanks for stopping by yesterday bigshaw but you didn't stay long. I'll come by and visit sometime (maybe when done with my downloads ). edit: btw any of you by chance know how to get old point and click games to work in xp? heard of something called scummvm and getting that now. Want to get dott and samnmax and the like to work.

Like I said that was my first time on the server but the skilllevel I saw at the time was relatively low. I might have caught it at a fluke point but on the map prior (piranesi) I went around 40 and 10 without trying much. The same went for zax and slyfox relatively to a lesser extent. Even after I left zax went on to get a really high score I believe with a high ratio and was kicked eventually. I think since I have the harddrive room now I'll start recording nightly demos of me and have someone check them out sometime after they ghosted me and compare it to what they saw when they ghosted me. BTW on dust I tend to rush every round I don't have more than a pistol. I don't like that map much but I figure if I don't have a gun to lose the least I can do is try to stop a rush in the tunnel or slow it down and take some people with me. Only person from this server I've played with before to my knowledge is magruter and I know he has some good skills but the limited time I was on it must have been a bad representation of the average player.

STEAM_0:0:4658688 Apology accepted and I appreciate it. Feel free to come over to [DOH] if you ever see me on. I might stop by again if the [DOH] server is down again. BTW if you ever want me to just tell me to record a demo from my own perspective and I'll send it to you. That way you can see what I do from the start of every round.
