Only saw this today.
Still might have tried to put something together if I could do it in HL2. ![]()

Anyone want to jump in and playtest some? Got a local server running. If you got a map we can try it out too... PM me quick!

What I got so far. And the lightning in Goldsrc is .. just ...

Nice results so far everyone!
I won't be able to participate, been busy this weekend

No submission thread yet? I'll just post here and a mod can perhaps move the post? Need to sleep!

Game of Crates
Download:
Description:
Small and intense. Optimal player amount 3-5. Open layout but with plenty of cover.
Playtesting it was a lot of fun!
-
Tweaked the lighting a bit to match the skybox.
Stack (nwdm_stack.bsp)
Description:
Big open map cause I was too lazy to detail interiors. Enjoy.
-
Sector 2 (nwdm_sector2.bsp)
Description:
Mix of outdoor (crates!) and lab interiors. My first HLDM map, I'm actually a little proud of it. Even a (tiny) secret included!
-
nwdm_nocturnal
DOWNLOAD HERE (.rmf included)
I still remember how inspiring Ken Banks' RMFs were when I inherited his chapter way back when. Sci-fi shapes and random ceiling chains included.
- r_speeds are bad, whatever
- Very incomplete and bad, etc., as everyone's surely busy on weekends
- Use mp_allowmonsters 1 for even more fun

Urgh... havn't made a map in years, yet over a weekend. Oh well, at least here's something. Btw, it sucks, so don't waste your precious bandwidth on this.
I spent 2 days thinking up this levelname so you better like it. And sure is resetting gamma to 1.0 in the last minute and discover it's so freakin' dark!
Plus I hate my level with every fiber of my body :<
I Wish I Had A Job (nwdm_iwihaj.bsp)
Description:
For 2-4 players. Nightwatch sky-textures and HORRIBLE LIGHT included.
Best played with screen turned off. Or a bright screen.

Great entries, guys. Sorry for the lack of a proper submission thread; I was a bit occupied most of today (with, uh, this). This thread is fine.
I'm also suddenly feeling really under the weather and decided it's best I go to bed early tonight - if anyone else has a submission, go ahead and post here, and I'll put it all together in the morning.
