New project
ATM im working on hl:s:hd but i decided to work on new css map at the same time.I found reference shots that inspired me to mix industrial style with nature elements.The basic idea is abandoned unfinished constructions that is starting to break apart.There will be several different locations that are easy to remember.Here are some very early screens:
Handmade plan (the strange names are the names of the reference shots im going to use for the different locations)

New Server
You can test the maps on the new server we have setup:

FR -[Kb3] - Le Bar Ouvert -I- www.k-b-3.org (de_castlevile_v2)

Some custom versions...
I got tons of good feedback in the past few days about the maps in the mappack, but also many requests for custom versions.Some server owners requested versions that support more players, gg_ versions etc etc.
So here they are:
bl_counterquake_v3 (better hdr, 48 player support)
gg_counterquake_v2 (same as v3, except the name)
de_castlevile_v2 (two small fixes, 40 player support)
de_backyard_v2 (small fix, 40 player suppport)
Please DO NOT rename maps that support and/or custom radar! That will make the models glow very ugly and the radar wont work! Just mail me at sawo.777 [at] gmail [dot] com and i will be happy to provide you with custom version!

Its finally here! CS:Source Mappack #1 by sawo !
10 of my very best maps!I started some of them more than 2 years ago and this is the result after alot of testing, mapping, playing and compiling :)
De_castlevile is the most advanced map in this mappack - after years of development and testing, it almost reached the level of professional maps, developed by valve.We put alot of playtesting to make the gameplay better - fair timings - there are almost no advantages for both T and CT teams, also the map was revamped several times during its development to improve the visual quality of the final product.
The smaller maps like cs_minimansion, de_mini_dust, bl_counterquake and even de_backyard are perfect for gungame and similar mods.
The smallest maps like sa_house_s, cs_minimansion_v2 and sa_war_house_v2 are perfect for playing with friends just for fun.Just start a server with few friends and it will get full in no time!
