Here's the first of the Counter Strike Rat map conversions. It's called Dod_deathcookin_rat. The original map was by Catfood.


Here's a shot from the allied side of the kitchen over to the Axis cupboards. Plenty of holes to hide.

The Allied counters are not too safe either. Ride the cable car up in the sky to cross.

Yes, it may be hot in deathcookin, but the meat locker is cold.

How do you make the screenshots look nice in popups?

I like the look of the map, a little brighter (I like brighter maps). Now this would be a fun map to see lots of rockets shooting across. Will spawn camping be allowed / possible in this one? Will there be a map overview also?
If you ever need someone else to play it with to test out how easy or hard it is to see / hit something, or to try and find exploits I don't mind lending a hand.

This map series will be pure conversions of Counterstrike rat maps. They were not originally for DOD:S play. I am converting them, in honor of Lin, into Dod:S maps. What that means in practical effect is that there are no flags (seeing as the original CS hostages are no more). Flags could be added, but they were not in the original maps.

In one of the threads here, I asked if people would like to see flags in the cdc_Rats_fixed map. The consensus seemed to be, "not really". Maybe the answer will be different on deathcookin.

To answer your question, yes, I do have a map overview. However, seeing as rat maps tend to be quite three dimensional in play, it will not show all pathways. I do not want to get into creating an orthogonal overview.

As to the screenshots, I did not do anything special.

[Thumper]

Crap, now I gotta "look up" orthogonal

Can a map be so perfect, that any substantive change is heretical?

Well we are about to find out. DJSpleen is in love. He is in love with the dod_cdc_rats_fixed map. He loves to find new kill zones on the map. He takes spawn killing to a new art form.

So how will DJ take to the map on the editor called "dod_cdc_rats_lightsout? The lights are out in the kitchen. The vermin can really come out and play.


Let's start out at Allied spawn, a fav killspot for DJ.

Much darker, heh? How about scrambling onto the carpet and looking over at the Axis side?

 dod_cdc_rats_lightsout Axis oven.jpg   743KB   14 downloads

Sure looks like something is on in the oven and on top of the stove.

From the vent duct atop the stove, here's the view.

Of course, all of the fun is not on the Axis side. Let's climb the countertop air duct and look over at the Allied side.

 dod_cdc_rats_lightsout Allies cabinets.jpg   580.88KB   6 downloads

As you can see color has become an important part of the map. The orange glow from the stovetop lights the central room. The spawn areas have an amber lighting.

Even the air ducts are all colored differently. Axis side ducts are ruby-lighted. Allied ducts are sapphire-lighted. The crossover stovetop duct is emerald-lighted.

Will Kerf get a splenectomy, or will DJ have a new favorite map?

[Kerfuffle]

Anzio is one of the classic Dod:s maps. Will it be better at night?

Let's start at the Allied beachfront.

Looks more intimidating, doesn't it?

Heading out to the Allies fountain. Is that Redshirt hiding with his overpolished zook in the corner?

We move down church lane, where Caulkgunner awaits to pop out of the shadows...

and into the church plaza. Yes, the church tower will not be lit, remaining a DJ Spleen hangout.

Unlike the tower, the cafe plaza is well lit from the outdoor lanterns.

Eventually, we get to the axis fountain, providing Deszo with plenty of place to lie down

We had a great run through of dod_deathcookin_rat yesterday on the MG server. Thanks for all the testers who just popped in for a big surprise. We have a few materials issue to settle and then it is available for routine play.

Meanwhile, back at the Kerf Proving Ground, we have another rat map conversion on the factory floor- dod_motorhome2_rat. (Are you beginning to see the trend in the names?)

A good map always starts with plenty of good food. This map has a bountiful supply of snack food.

Let's go to the main salon. You are at the front of the vehicle looking rearward.

Hope you enjoyed your tour. The Kerf Proving Ground is hard at work for you, showing you that recreation is hard work!

[LadyBadass]

That tour was the most!!Can't wait to play!!!

Excellent! This will be most fun
