Expected future (some day) alterations
  • Include cables for lights – To be made in 3dsmax. I have so many ropes that the half-life ropes cause hl2.exe to crash out due to indexing problems (stupid).
  • Include flag directions signs – To be made in 3dsmax if people think they would be a good idea.

Notes:
Hope you all like it, critique and suggestions welcome.

Just to show you the cables that I have to remake, here's some pictures of an old version of the map with the half-life cables (keyframe_ropes) included:
