How To Make A CS 1.6 Map ?

dhanesh1405241511 · March 30, 2006

I just started playing CS .. err .. I wont comment but i started playing cause my class mates were into it and i just needed some time out after a days work. And FPS games are my fav :lol: .. Well getting back to the point .. I have played on few maps like Mansion, dust, dust2, poolside, assault etc .. I was wondering if i could make a map too ? ...1) Does it include scripting or programming ? 2) Or what are the best tools that are used ? 3) Is there a tutorial ? 4) Is there a good site out there that could help me with my problems ?5) what are the necessary "Do's & Dont's" of CS map making.6) Compatible with other versions ? ( Eg: If i make a map for CS 1.6, then if i play SOURCE or CZ, will i need to remake the full map again ? )Had this idea of making a map of my college lol .. and using the Dean's Office as a bomb site :lol: heheAppriciate your feedback and help.Regards,Dhanesh.

I used to make maps for CS, I think it was around 1.3 (way before Steam). Anyways, beware, it's an insanely difficult task, not to mention that after at least a few months of lots of trying I only came up with a map that has some weird disco lights. Well, maybe that was because I was more into special stuff rather than actual mapping (), but whatever.

This is the best site, AFAIK: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

Here's a great tutorial from that site: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/Tutororial.php?id=50 (even though Worldcraft is up to 3.4 now, I think)

Oh, and you're going to need ZHLT!

Good luck!
