Perhaps. I'm restraining myself from suggesting some of my favorite maps from my CS:S days, this is one of them, but most of which happen to be texture maps.

I understand the dislike for them, especially by mappers who really do put work into making their maps look nice but...eye candy doesn't make a good map, functionality and playability do, and good looks are just a bonus. I'm of the opinion that if a map plays really well (like my all-time favorite GG map, texture_city), it doesn't matter how it looks.

[quote="TheCarpe";p="193671"]I think you mean trs_aim_churches?

No, I know that one from GG. Monach is the map I was talking about.

That was one of my favorite custom from the old RPG server. The map aside from being well textured is very large, which I think helps with RPG. Some of the GG maps and the orange maps might be a little too constraining IMO.

I just played Congo with the bots and noticed some missing textures for the custom trees. Might have to look into that, but that one is a large map, or shall I say tall map.

[/quote]Speaking as a half-inspiring mapper (In the fact that I enjoy making maps when I feel like it), I find orange/texture maps to be incredibly lazy. To make a good layout and fix bugs is only *maybe* 20-30% of the actual work in making a map - the rest of that time is spent making the map look good through texturing, displacements, skyboxes, props, etc.

Case in point - If I so desired, I could release the one map I'm working on now as an orange map, but instead I'm working a couple of hours a week to spend the time to make the map look attractive.
I am the 1%!

And I understand all that, I really do. I'm just saying that doesn't make them any less fun to play on.

I like the odd orange map. In DoD:S one of my favorite maps is the lime one.
I agree with Carpe. While not attractive, they do offer good gameplay.

Took beetlesmod off and replaced it with ManiMod. Green player models fixed so Stealth upgrade works correctly.

Has mapvote etc etc. Deathbeams I'll probably turn off.

Agreed, it's hard to catch up at this point.
