Counter-Strike maps for Jedi Outcast

I just wanted to throw this idea out to you guys since I've been pondering and experimenting with it for a while (reason for absence). I played the game Half-Life: Counter Strike a couple of times in my absence and became fascinated with the concept of one of the maps called Dust, which appears as de_dust on the map list. After learning a little more about JK2Radiant, I fiddled around and created a Star Wars 'clone' of this map, or simply Dust with JK2's textures. Since that time, I have cloned the map, added flag bases and tunnels, creating a red and blue base (CTF and TFFA) the exact size of de_dust. I was just wondering if you guys were interested in this little project.

Well, Halendor, I once tried to make a defusal-type MOD for JK2MP, but needless to say it messed up every single time I worked on it/tested it. So, I modded the map to work for CTF and created a clone of the map to represent each flag base. And, since I read your post, I decided to appease the CS fans out there and put a lot of explosives around the blue and red team spawn areas, thereby allowing players to set traps around the flag (hidden behind the crates at each spawn) and blow up snooping enemies. Again, I tried my best to keep the flow of de_dust, but modding didn't work. :mad: However, I also asked permission of the CS mappers to make a Jedi Outcast version of cs_italy and cs_militia. Which also brings me to a type of hostage rescue mission for JK2, called Rescue the Prisoner (RTP), with basically the same idea behind it as CS. WARNING! Need help in developing RTP mode!

Anyway, Halendor, there you have it.

Personally, I don't like de_dust, it's a bit overplayed and can get really boring when either side camps, but let's not fight over taste ;) I'd like to point out though that de_dust isn't a CTF map, but a bomb-defusal map. Don't you think that will affect the 'flow' of the map?

He made a JK2 map that looks like a CS map. What's wrong with that?

I don't want to sound like the fun ruiner but you can't use the map before you've got the creators permission. :mad:
I trust you've got it???
