@qoLmE not clue about the example given of porting from hl to cs, but I'm porting maps from source to goldsrc and the process is: decompile into vmf, open the vmf in jack, convert the source entities into their goldsrc equivalents, convert and reapply the textures, decompile and recompile the models, fix errors caused by the decompiler, optimize, then finally recompile for goldsrc

FIXXOR:

I like to argue that authorship goes to however compiled the map because each new compile is unique I think, you can get a mismatch if you recompile the same map a second time even without any changes, so the game seemingly recognizes each compilation as distinct

04-29-2025 at 6:57 PM

FIXXOR:

meanwhile you can edit entities alone and not get a mismatch, so in that case I consider that an edit and credit myself as contributor

04-29-2025 at 6:59 PM

FIXXOR:

btw you can include any additional info you want about a map in a comment under it, since the search filter goes through all comments not just the readme

FIXXOR:

can anyone upload de_anubis_csgo? I saw a cs 1.6 server hosting it but couldn't join to grab since it was full

qoLmE:

@FIXXOR: Thanks for the explanation.
P.s.: While going through the byplt-maps, I came across this map and decided to give you credit for it.
You'll probably agree with it, right?

FIXXOR:

I only edited the MaxRange on that one in the entity list, I'm technically the "creator" of that version of the map I guess, but it's pretty superfluous accreditation

05-01-2025 at 6:40 PM

FIXXOR:

in the message field of the game_text entity I left: "Mapped by Spoon & Chris | Infected-Servers.com | Edited to increase Max Range" (this text displays upon launching the map)

05-01-2025 at 6:44 PM

FIXXOR:

technically you can just edit the maxrange property and not even rename the map since it shouldn't cause a mismatch, so it's a useless edit for any savvy host

05-01-2025 at 6:47 PM

FIXXOR:

basically entity properties are decided by the entity configuration of the host, you can outright remove entities such as doors and breakables this way and play with someone who has the original version of the map, because removal in this context just means they won't load, they are still stored in the map file

05-01-2025 at 6:54 PM

FIXXOR:

in the case of the MaxRange property, this just tells the game at which distance from the player's pov the map should no longer be rendered, in-game it will vanishpast that point

@blackcock: Did you change the author on this and this map?
Seems more like the server name, no?

qoLmE:

@FIXXOR: Highly interesting stuff you're posting here.
Good you kept the build-in screen message as reference to the "actual" mappers.

I didn't knew about max range being a setting that can be embedded in a bsp-file. Thought this was only server sided with the use of the cvar "sv_zmax".

Is everybody getting the "500 internal server error" message when trying to download this map on GameBanana?
Probably due to the file being a .7z instead of a .rar

Or if anyone has this map and want to upload here?

05-02-2025 at 4:43 PM

ParaBolt:

It's not because of 7Z, there are some file server errors

Retry after a while when there is less load on website, it should work then

Ok I will, thanks for the info.

Allright boyzzz!
I'm finally done with the byplt-authored maps. Man, this took way longer than I originally hoped it would be.
Before I post the big list there are a few "oddballs" so to speak. In some situations things weren't as clear/straightforward.

You can find the thread here or underneeth the shoutbox ( under FORUM ) as long as there are not 10 other threads with newer posts.

In that case click on "Show More..." but I'll probably re-post the link here anyway.

FIXXOR:

can confirm I can't download these 2 maps either, the bar keeps loading until it gives up with no error

Yesterday at 8:29 PM

qoLmE:

Confirmed for both maps. When I use ViewZipContent it gives the following error: Archive not found, unreadable or doesn't contain any file.

Yesterday at 8:39 PM

qoLmE:

Strange, as the red download button still displays a certain amount of KB, instead of being not present when a zip is missing.

Yesterday at 8:40 PM

qoLmE:

So presumably it got damaged during the attack or something went/was wrong with the backup.
