I used to make maps for HL1 back in the day. Although ever since the source engine I don't have the time, since so much more detail is expected of maps than before. I made my own textures by taking and manipulating photos of the environment I was going to map (i.e., my house, my high school, etc) Even then it took plenty of time, and now that amount of time is multiplied many times.

I live downstairs from the original creators and I had them teach me how to make maps. I <3 CS:S so I thought I would rework the map.
Right now, it's only Farrar Hall, but soon (Version B) Mac, and Altman will be added followed by (Version C) Kelly Hall and then Holtman. Ialso plan on a final version which will have Rayl and the streets surronding the quad. Perhaps a fence or something at the edges.
Any way of making it smaller? I know some people like running larger maps + turbo mod, but for the sake of re-playability, perhaps make it a tad bit smaller? An all-out sniperfest would be fun for about the first 15 minutes, but get old REAL fast.

The idea is to first make the entire quad with all rooms etc. Let people play. Find ut where the best spots are where to most popular places ae to fight. See if either team has an unfair advantage.
Right now, I'm creating an update log. I've got the support of the guys upstairs to work on it in rotation.
They should add it to their deticated server today.

I've been to Clements High School. I dont think it would be any fun to play in. Its old and crappy.
who takes the time to map their whole school anyway?
