how diffcult is it to..

decompile a map, say de_torn and make the roofs and ledges all walkable over, or say on italy, so you could be boosted onto roofs. How ace would that be!

[Barracuda]

yeah good idea



(i havnt a clue tho)

I would have thought that all you needed to do was to increase the size of
the sky box, but I don't make maps so I wouldn't know.

could use winbspc to decompile the map, but that gives a lot of dodgy texture alignments, and where 2 textures meet it would use 1 of them on both shapes.

its not a very good method for doing it, as there are so many problems it creates (some shapes often get split into the individual faces), and it breaks the wall sections down into blocks, and the sky is extended to fill the entire max worldspace.

would probs be easier to rebuild the map from scratch.....which i have done for parts of aztec/dust2, but a whole map would take a while longer, could do it tho (not so sure about torn as its so frikin complex!!!)

Yup decompiling is very hard to do without errors, TBH Im not sure its posible, also you would have to speak to the creator of the map to ensure he will allow you to do this

If this were the CS forums I'd say that editing other peoples' maps is ghey, although I wouldn't have used capital letters, would have cut down on spaces and commas, removed every fifth and seventh character, inserted the odd number or other character and probably have spelt map wrong.

So from both a technical and ethical (there's got to be a better word than that) point of view, it's not really possible It would be nice, but I think we'll have to stick to arabstreets for this kind of thing

So its better to make new ones than to enhance other peoples. Ok, I can live with that.
ps, nick why not make that door openable in Officestorm at the top of the rope ladder near the vip rescue point. You could have a little corridor down into the computer room. /sits down and waits
