Please note: This is REVISION 3... REVISION 3... REVISION 3.


My son plays Counter-Strike everyday religiously, so I decided to remake his favorite CS map (de-aztec) so he'd feel at home when I kill him in UT2003.

I remade the textures from scratch for higher quality and resolution. Although, the gold box textures are filtered/processed for higher resolution from the originals due to the amount of "art/detail" -- unable to recreate from scratch. I'm also using detail textures against the main textures. Architecturally, I tried to stay as close as possible to the original.

VERSION HISTORY:
1.0 (REVISION 3)

• Released 04/09/2003
• Modified LOD of all meshes.
• Fixed rope bridge BSP error.
• Better compression on many of my custom textures.
• Smaller overall filesize due to the above change and other small changes.
• Turned all terrain polys that cannot be seen invisible so they won't be rendered.
• Fixed the patch of light on the wall in one of the dark rooms (if you know what I mean). Using a projector now. Regular sunlight against the wall was not cutting the mustard.
• Turned the zone lighting down to 20 in the C-spawn double-door corridors.
• Changed the light hue of the electrical overhead lights to a closer match of  the original CS lights.
• Changed the corona skin of the electrical overhead lights due to the above change.
• Created a better wood texture for all double-doors.
• Setup the teepee-oriented wooden slats for the non-usable double-doors as it is in CS.
• Fixed some weaponbase placements that were hovering (just a few units).
• Added some additional antiportals. Removed some non-functioning ones.
• Reduced the fluid grid size for optimization purposes. It had a lot of unseen overhang/unneeded polys.
• Now using pickup bases for all amp and health.
• Used a better level of light-rebuild.
• Made thousands of polys in the terrain of the skybox invisible to keep them from rendering.
• Changed the scrolly description and screenshots to reflect revision change.
• Changed filenames and this README text to reflect revision change.

1.0 (REVISION 2)

• Released 11/26/2002
• Fixed problems with bot pathing. Specifically with translocator destinations.
• Bots will now go for the Ion Painter. (Although I don't think they know how to use it.)
• Fixed the location tags that were incorrectly named. (This is for locating team members in TDM mode.)
• Changed some of the textures back to LOD 0.
• Changed the preview pics to indicate revision change.
• Renamed all files to indicate revision change.
• Updated this README file.

1.0 (REVISION 1)

• Released 11/04/2002
• Found a bsp error around some stairs. Fixed with blocking volume.
• Changed the preview pics to indicate revision change.
• Renamed all files to indicate revision change.
• Updated this README file.

1.0

• Released 11/02/2002
