Well, progress is going faster then expected, so I made a thread. I've decided to take this jail map in a radically different direction than any of the ones I've personally seen. Everyone is familiar with jail maps- large concrete holding pens for the T team. Well, i completely threw that out the window. I like visual style and originality, so my map will be set in a rustic lowland area of Texas. It will be an old, converted grain refinery, so it is mostly wooden. It will also feature custom props to add to the uniqueness. Here are a few interesting points about the map:

1. The cells are actually horse pens in a barn in the center of the map.
2. It's pouring down rain.
3. Some of the map will be flooded.
4. The fence is a short wooden thing, so it's absolutely possible to jump it and make a break for freedom... right before you get gunned down by guard towers (kill texture).
5. What's Texas without a shooting range with tin can targets?
6. It will have a very "open world" feel to it, as opposed to the average closed off jail feeling.
7. Shotguns.

I've wanted to make a map that's visually, and gameplay wise, different, and that's what I hope to accomplish with this map. I'll post screenshots as soon as more of the world is created.

I'll post one when I'm done for the night, but you're gonna see messed up alpha paint, cause I've only painted a couple land blocks.
 
Screenshots

Well, not bad for the first day's work on it.

Cell room:

Cell room (barn) outside:

This will be flooded, so in s4s you might have water up to your knees:

Feedback appreciated but please remember that this is VERY alpha version, although I try to texture as I go.
 
Ignore the third screenshot, because I think I'm going to change it. It will still be flooded, though.

EDIT: This turned out better in-game than it looked in hammer, so the third screenshot is accurate.

I got more ideas, and got more stuff done. The entire basic layout of the flooded building is done, and I'll start working on the CT spawn (in a water treatment building) tomorrow.
 
Ct spawn and the entrance to deathrace are both laid out. They are next to each other and both in the water treatment plant.
 
I'd give you screenshots of the pool room (it's a hole blasted into the ground), but windows 7 has decided that I can't take screenshots of games. When I do print screen in any game, it takes a screenshot of whatever is behind it, such as hammer since that was open behind CSS. If anyone can tell me how to fix this, then I'll post screenshots.

Thanks

Go to C: > Program Files > valve > Steam Apps > YourSteamName > Counterstrikesource > cstrike and it should be in there.

If not look through the folders in cstrike
