mookie May 11, 2006 Share mookie GC Alumni May 11, 2006 Just happened to be looking at the server browser today and noticed a few servers running de_cpl_strike_b1 (London DL site worked for me). I was surprised to see that this map has been out for months now; I've never seen it before. I walked through and it looks great despite a couple (few) missing textures. Not HDR, but it almost looks as though it is, especially the sweet effects on some of the windows. I've never played Strike on 1.6, but this map looks like a good one. Seems to have at least 3 or 4 rush routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mookie May 11, 2006 Author Share mookie GC Alumni May 11, 2006 ya they made it for cal, its the beta version, the final version should be out within a week they say Now I feel like I just wasted time noting the missing textures and visible nodraw for the mapper. Anyway I'd love to see this map get at least a few trial runs. It looks complex enough for decent pub play. you guys used the forbidden letters: cpl and cal. it'll never fly. Aren't Mill and Fire already cruising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters May 11, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni May 11, 2006 pfft. barely limping. mill and fire go over GREAT with the right crowd, but have always been a liability in rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*BiGBonES** May 11, 2006 Share *BiGBonES** Member May 11, 2006 I'm looking forward to this map, read a thread in the cal forums highlighting all the bad points of the map. I think they have all been fixed (one guy made about 50screenshots of bad things) and the maker said they are all fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie May 11, 2006 Author Share mookie GC Alumni May 11, 2006 pfft. barely limping. mill and fire go over GREAT with the right crowd, but have always been a liability in rotation. Mill has done well on Mayhem for quite a while; I can't comment on the tastes of those So-cal wussbags. Anyways Strike looks a lot more interesting than Fire.

Assassinator May 12, 2006 Share Assassinator Member May 12, 2006 If it's anything like the quality of Mill and fire, i'll be looking forward to Strike; the two former are great maps. Still need to finish up mine, yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*BiGBonES** May 12, 2006 Share *BiGBonES** Member May 12, 2006 I'm hearing 12 more hours till release (i check too many forums these days, but everything is so fun when you revise). What about this de_villa map, anyone heard of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie May 12, 2006 Author Share mookie GC Alumni May 12, 2006 What about this de_villa map, anyone heard of that? Rotated on Recrudescence. I joined but had to DL the map from server, then got an IM about a project, forgot CS:S was even connected to a server, and eventually got kicked by console. From what few comments I've heard it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discom May 12, 2006 Share discom Member May 12, 2006 http://www.gotfrag.com/css/files/251/ It looks like it came out last August... but are they still working on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was a different version of the map by a different map maker, although I'm not completely sure. Its hard to tell whats going on in the cal forums between all the flaming and the actual posts. Should be out soon though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone probably just posted the CS map in the CS:S forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stutters May 12, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni May 12, 2006 mookie did you get de_strike yet? i just made a nav and am going to up it to the server(s), but again, nothing is labeled on the radar. you can add those to the nav (attached as .zip)....right?

akaM2 May 12, 2006 Share akaM2 Member May 12, 2006 ummm ya the new one is de_strike from the cal site, is that the one that you now have john? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters May 12, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni May 12, 2006 de_strike (from cal) is on all the main servers now. ask your friendly neighborhood admin to set it to nextmap if you want to give it a whirl. thanks for the headsup mohawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie May 12, 2006 Author Share mookie GC Alumni May 12, 2006 (edited) http://mookiegc.sytes.net/de_strike_nav.zip Strange, whoever made this put 17 spawns for each side. 4 CT spawns are invalid, so max team sizes are 13v17.

akaM2 May 12, 2006 Share akaM2 Member May 12, 2006 good thing we only do 11v11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutters May 13, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni May 13, 2006 CAL apparently started drinking early. on top of the 4 invalid spawn points, M2 msg'd something about a "recompiled" map coming out later...today, tomorrow, who knows. whoever said that crap about the early bird and the worm needs to take a hike. btw....yoink!

mookie May 13, 2006 Author Share mookie GC Alumni May 13, 2006 Based on the compile time, I guess they started drinking some time around 4:00 this morning. Anyways, a choosing maps like this makes me think CAL must have some grudge against ATi and nVidia. That is, until I notice gems like these: It's almost as though they think something bad would happen if they put a VIS blocker underneath the stairs. That last one is priceless though, it's a single VIS leaf that contains all of bombsite A. If you're standing anywhere in it, the entire middle area, most of CTSpawn, and quite a few distant rooftops are all rendered. Someone get these guys Norguard's phone number quick.
