I think it will be a lot clearer once I train with you on the maps, but I think that the tactics page could get even clearer if we/you added images showing the tactics.

Here is an example

(http://www.materialkemi.lth.se/mats_lundberg/aztec.jpg)

I know that it takes tons of effort to do it on all the maps.  We could start out on one map and if it something we like we could start adding as we come across the map when playing matches.

I am willing to help out.

feel free to contribute. All tactics will be placed on the site. As for artwork, that is something I am not any good at, so assistance is greatfully received!

There are a couple of maps that have been 'arrowed up' Aztec being one, but this takes time.

Come on people, I've asked in the past for tips on your favorite maps, lets ave em!

For tactics, I've had a wee look at the match schedule and said OK, if I play on the Inferno match on Sunday, I'll get a head start and check the web for some tips. Here are the links I found for map tips:
http://www.planethalflife.com/camp-fear/ (http://www.planethalflife.com/camp-fear/)
http://www.planethalflife.com/cstactics/map/map.shtml (http://www.planethalflife.com/cstactics/map/map.shtml)

http://csnation.counter-strike.net/cs2d/cs2d.htm (http://csnation.counter-strike.net/cs2d/cs2d.htm) (Gandalf, think you got 2Ds from here)

Perhaps we could post a few links to good tactics web pages for Gandalf to nick stuff from.

hey, im a bit of a flash whiz and can quite easily code up some way point driven anamtions, Anyone would be able to add there own ideas and view both CT and T manouvers. Im currently working on my own website so it'll be a while before i get time, just wondered if you think it would be beneficial.

I have several ideas on what to include. Some people may think that static jpgs are goodenough but im sure being able to see how to move from one place to another, what areas need to be covered and movement/rush formations would be better conveyed in this manner.

It wont take me long to do, just need the spare time to do it.


i'll create a seperate thread if and when i get it going, but if you like...
What would people like to see included, just to give me an idea. These kinds  things can have a massive effect on how best to do it properly.

I think it would be usefull but may take a long time to do. Give it a go on one of the maps we have tactics for and see how it looks :)
I am just trying to learn flash myself so im going to have a bash aztec from a "T" point of view... but dont hold your breath it may take a while :P and may not be that good

Currently working on it, Fortunately i can tie in much of the code im doing for a current project with this, so im getting paid to do it :-D

Dont worry im going to start simple, my strength is in my coding, which i do for a living so doing it isn't a problem, but your right it does take time, and i want to do it properly so even more time.

The bitch will be saving the information into my database as xml. That takes time.

ok, I'm going to be doing a major overhaul on this site over the next few weeks. Moving it over to a database driven site with a php front end.

This should make it a lot easier to add and ammend tactics, so it will look fresh and juicy.

Watch this space....

Site is down for maintenance......

Currently building the php front end. I've done the database backend, and have added one record for testing purposes. Once the front end is done I can start adding data.

You can view WIP by visiting the tactics site. But don't blame me if it..
a. crashes your system
b. causes the end of mankind
c. kills your firstborn
d. all of the above

oh, and it will be functional, but not pretty. I'm a coder, not a designer :)
Title: Tactics site address and password.
Post by: Gandalf on December 27, 2002, 07:24:24 PM
ok, it's back up now. I have added the pages that had tactics written for them. I now have the fun job of trawling through the forums and adding other tactics to the database. :)

Oh, and comments on how to improve would be useful. I will be adding a search function in future, but there isn't any point at the moment as there are only a few maps added. And you can sort them by column anyway.

And if you have any reports, mail them to me with an image (if possible) and I'll add it!

Nice job G-man - all I have to do now is start sending you some stuff to put in there right?

Can you pimp the idea of a direct hyperlink from availability to the website?  That would be worth following.  Other that I suggest we keep in touch with the current thoughts int eh forum and transpose them on a regular basis.  We'll talk and see what we can't do to help you there  :D

FYI

If I go to http://www.greenberry.co.uk/ (http://www.greenberry.co.uk/) then the topbar and sidebar appear but I get a 404 for the main frame (that should contain the "enter" link). The main frame seems to be trying to load a page called http://www.greenberry.co.uk/dmw/tacticsindex.html (http://www.greenberry.co.uk/dmw/tacticsindex.html) which it cannot find.

If I go to http://www.greenberry.co.uk/dmw/ (http://www.greenberry.co.uk/dmw/) then the tactics are listed properly.

All our secrets are out, so we'll have to do new tactics for everything.


Might be a good oportunity to develop the concepts of "Hide" and "Run Away" into our tactics. It's always worked for me.

It's called "mopping up" or is it "being a frag whore"? I forget.
Hiding in a wooden box on Aztec until the timer has 30 seconds to go, and then launching yourself onto a map filled with players all limping around on 10 HP is a perfectly valid tactic.
