Calm Village

Calm Village - Hostage Rescue by Will2k will2k@hot-shot.com http://will8k.tripod.com Overview -------- This map is a source remake of my own map cs_calm for counterstrike 1.5 The original goes back to 2003, a date at which I stopped mapping (traveling, lack of time...), and stopped updating the website. 7 years later, the mod/map bug bit me again :) as it did the first time in 1998 and I found myself firing up Hammer and setting it up for CS source. After spending couple of days on the valve developer wiki to see the new stuff in Hammer/source engine, I figured that the best way to get back to business is to convert one of my own maps from Goldsrc to source, instead of starting a new map from scratch. I slightly modified the original layout of the map, adding some areas and embellishing existing ones and incorporating the source changes into it. The result is cs_calm_source; a small to medium map that can fit up to 32 players and that is very true to the original map. I kept it simple and used existing resources from CSS / HL2. No new textures/materials, no new sounds, no new models. The gameplay is fast and balanced, the routes are clear and the ambience is not distracting. Installation ------------ Simply extract the 4 files in the zip archive to your \Counter-Strike Source\cstrike\maps I have included a nav file for offline play with bots. Enjoy the map and have fun playing it as I had fun making it Will2k December 20, 2010
