i also hate that fucking flag, it's impossible to pick up sometimes.

i spent a lot of time remaking the map as best as i could with regular textures.  It won't be as pretty, but there won't be any spawn deaths and a much better flag system.  It will have a ctf (mod based) flag system that prevents you from scoring unless your team has their flag in their base.  you can return your teams flag by shooting it with the grav gun if its on the ground.  the map is compiling on another one of my computers right now so hopefully i will test it sometime tomorrow.  i'm sure there will be a few little things that i will have to tweek, but i should be done with it by the weekend.  as fun as that map is, i'm willing to sacrifice a bit of beauty to improve some needed gameplay bugs.  i think other people feel the same way too, that is why i have spent my time on fixing this.  Well that and I was asked to.

i don't mean to sound stupid, but how do you do that.  i would like to maintain the integrety of this map as much as i can.  i just want to improve on the gameplay without changing the map too much.  this sounds like it would do the trick but i don't know how to do it.

bedroom warfare.  i'm not porting it, it was built for dm from the start.  but there are a lot of problems with it and the maker can't be reached (at least that is what i was told).  so i was asked if i could fix the issues.

ok so i was able to get the .vmt and the .vtf files for the custom textures from the .bsp file.  i think i put them in the correct folders because i can see them in my hammer menu.  but even though i can see them in my hammer texture menu, they still look like purple and black squares, they don't look like the actual texture.  did i do something wrong or is it suppoesed to be this way until you compile the map.

If this is not your case, try [Reload] button in the texture browser on each textures you have missing. I just remembered I had this issue when I broke some of the custom textures for avanti.
