Lo fellas

I may well be interested in a combined effort after all many hands make light work.
Ive progressed a little from my square room mentioned earlier in the VISION ON forum.

I have been wanting to try this for sometime. Cheers Red.

I just downloaded Worldcraft is that not a good program???

You also need Zoners compile gui.
Its linked on the countermap site.

And to answer the question is it easy or hard.
Doing the setup is the hardest to get right.
and then for me it was some long nights reading tutorials.
But once u get into it ........it kinda flows.

Worldcraft was taken over by valve software I believe.
And is now called Hammer.
U need to create your map in Hammer and then use Zoners tool to compile them with.

I have been thinking of a train station for a map since the days I played on N42 (2 years ago). And yes there is de_train and some other maps that features trains but I was thinking in the lines of grand central station in New York or the train station seen in X-men or Unbreakable. When I saw Slowhands screenshot above the map idea came back to me. Lots of arches and glass etc

Here are some images of inspitation:

When I was in New York summer 2001 I ran around the passages and corridors of this beautiful train station. If you ever vist NY you should pay it a visit.
