could be quite cool, although more detail inside the bases is needed. good exterior layout tho.

maybe the underneath bit where the roads meet could be a second crossroad? :)

[o_drahk]

well of course.. I just ment as a general layout.. not a this is exactly what it looks like.. I mostly just ment like ramps up to the top from the bottom.. and each base is identical..

Hell if I knew more about mapping in HL2 then i do I'd do it my self.. but I only did 1 map for counter-strike.. :S

for pics of that tho.. (caution.. VERY DARK turn up brightness)

not sure where you'd get the team 3+4 team coloured wall textures from though :/

[o_drahk]

Modifying textures is actually one of my specialties I'm what i like to call an exsisting photo editor.

[mervaka]

ah yea, colour channel swap it or sommin :) go for it mate, id like to see the result of a 4 way CTF (if thats what you have in mind?)

could be used by knockout games as starter maps to whittle down numbers of teams ready for classic 2 team CTF

[o_drahk]

Actually Im pretty adept in photoshop. I just dont know where to get the textures if they are available :S

That would make for pretty boring battlements tbh.

but a bloody exciting clash point in the middle. your site doesn't work in Firefox by the way Drahk.

[mervaka]

suppose the layout was how i described above, so there was two crossroads, one above the other, you could put the entrances on the far corners and battlements over the top

Worked fine (but yes dark) for me using Firefox rv:1.7.8 ... ????

I'm running Firefox 1.0.4 and was able to see the images.

If you're on a slow connection it might take a while, because the images only load when you hover the cursor over the thumbnails. You also have to leave the cursor over the image until it's finished loading before you can see the image.

Thruth he speaks. For how to preload I know not how.

Thats kinda what i was getting at.. and I thought maybe theres a big door to the "empty" (ie yellow and green) base that closes once the team is filled...
