Hey guys I see some mappers get their feathers ruffled but I'm not modifying official maps and just now learned there are some maps with the cfg files that I don't fully understand. For example why put in lines like this:
mapmodel 1 8 0 0 "fencegate_closed" // 16
Whats the point if you've already placed the model somewhere in the game, whats this line REALLY doing in the cfg?
I just did this to fool around and add some pickups (and a kill box air conditioner) to an old map I liked that didn't have a .cfg
I have been looking through the command reference and just started looking at the mapping guide too. I'm not convinced I am interested in really making maps from scratch but if I do, I will definitely look you guys up. There are things I don't get (like the cfg file) and heightfields, slopes and arches. I guess the best thing to do is muck around in a blank map?
Dude, I seriously want to see and play on cavern and (whats the name of) the one prior to it that won a contest they look AWESOME. Where can I find them? Every map I've ever seen was a chance encounter server surfing to play!
