I may get a server soon, when i go back to work, and offer up admin to any =eGO= members that request it. So that i could host the map 24/7 as a changes server.

Bots do NOT work well at ALL with this map, they can hardly get out of spawn, and could not determine which sites are active even if they COULD get out of spawn.

The famous Sandstorm...

This is de_changes_2 it's been in the works for years.. as my mapping skils improved, so did the map. I never wanted to release it until i had EVERYTHING working the way it needed to.
Most importanty, i wanted the files IN the BSP, so nobody would upoad it with missing parts (IE, overview).

Known Issues (CSS limitations):
1 - Bombsites , there are A, B, C and D. C and D are marked on the overview by H's, so that there aren't two A's and B's.

2 - Skybox Fog cannot be changed on the fly, engine limitation, so being on the rooftops only provides limited cover during heavy fog.

This map has 4 bombsites, only two are active during any given round.
The Console will tell you which sites are current targets, as well as a weather report. The Billboards n front of T and CT Spawns wil also show you which sites are current targets.
Only the signs of the current targets will appear as well.
Weather changes from round to round as well, forcing you to choose your weapons appropriately if the weather is particularly nasty.

I've packaged all the files into the BSP with pakrat, overview and everything works just fine.

--edit--
you can download it, unzip it, and place the BSP in your "cstrike/maps/" folder.
start counterstrike, and hit "create server", set the map to de_changes_2. and play.. as T when by yourself.
bots do not like the map, they are too dumb. but you can still explore it.

note: there are FIVE different weather settings.. most are light fogs, but ONE is the infamous SANDSTORM!..
high winds and diminishing visibility.. visibility will get down to as little as 10 feet if the round lasts long enuf.


(edit, had to fix something.. so if you were one of the first 8 people to download it, redownload.. or delete the map from your cstrike/maps folder, and rejoin.. sorry for the inconvienience) someone was able to toss the bomb under a truck, we couldn't get it.. had to douche-proof it.)

hey there, just tried it and it seems to be working just fine.. the overview is showing bombsite A and B and the Hs to represent the other inactive bombsites. I was receiving the commands at the begining of the round with regards to what bombsite was active. I like the "Hide the evidence of aliens" one. Map was smooth and well done. Great job :)

Only thing I am not sure of is the weather changes. It did not seem to diminish my visibility as much as I thought it would.
 
This sounds like an awesome map! Maybe you should try to put it on a server so we can test the map out, or I can just DL it and try it on Create Server thing. No biggie. :)
 
permission yes

yes, if you want to load it onto a server to try it out.. by all means go for it.. i'm curious to see people's responses.
it would be a fantastic event.

my favorite one was.. "I hear a train whistle, is there a train on this.. <SPLAT>"
"Yes, there is..."

and "HEY, the doors are closed!"
"go around"

and the OOoos and AAaahs during the Sandstorm when it shows up.. and the rage comments from those that bought AWPs.. i cherish those the most...
"Didn't you see the weather report? Shoulda bought a different gun."

Doors will be open at different angles each round.
The hotel which s the Centerpiece of the map is a two level crisscross design, different legs of the hotels corridors will be closed off during different rounds.
Those hotel owners aren't known for submitting blueprints and getting permits to do modifications to the building. So the CT's blueprints will not always match the area. Forces you to think on the fly, and change tactics.

If you do upoad it, let me know, i wanna join you.

The little street hockey area gave birth to my sport_hockey map.
which then led to the bowing alley map.
 
Downloading, Will test and give you feedback! Sounds awesome :D
 
You know, with the multiple bombsites, you could almost make something like Rush mode in BF:BC2.
 
This map is awesome! I love the places to climb, Switching weather and bombsites!! I love it, Wish we could all play on it :D
 
This sould be on the rotation, but i think you shoudl send this to rouge sniper
 
We just found a few "bomb-throw-spot" issues, there will be a re-upload of it... oh and I'm a long time friend of MasterW3 who's helped him test the map and provide lots of input for the...years it's been in development.
