Greetings:

The good news is: deLostTemple2 is finally released. The bad news is: deLostTemple2 will be the last CS:S map created by d00ds.com. We supported CS:S for more than 3 years and had a lot of fun. Apparently you did aswell =) But now it's time to move on. We are already working on different projects these days.

Huge thanks to all our fans and supporters!

See you in another game!

About:

This is the first release candidate of delosttemple2, the 5th map of d00ds.com following derush, denightfever, decplfire and of course delosttemple. The temple, once a jewel of the mayan civilization, is located near a lake deep in the jungle. Beside the enemy forces you have to fight the mosquitos aswell. Smoke Grenades proved to be quite successful.

Story:

After the discovery of a very well hidden secret inside a forgotten temple archaeologists all around the world are eager for more discoveries. This time they are at the right place to look for but don't know it yet. They presume an entrance to a hidden chamber at spot A. However there is another entrance at spot B still undiscovered. A group of so called terrorists take their chance to make some quick profit. Little do they know there are special forces waiting in the area to turn the plan into a failure.

Layout:

There are three main routes in the map: to the left a small temple at the cliff, through the swampy water in the middle directly beneath bomb spot A and to the right through the ruinous main temple hall. All three routes have in common that after taking over the hot spots the terrorists can storm both bomb spots. There is no specific A route or B route. However the counterterrorists can use three short routes to switch between A and B.

The map supports 40 spawns.

As always the map includes lots of custom textures, models, skybox and even sounds.

Performance:

Despite the use of numerous vegetation models performance turns out very well. 3 GHz Radeon 9800 runs on 120 fps average and 95 fps for the worst spot. For comparison the same system at dust2 runs on 110 fps average and 85 fps for the worst spot. If you need more fps turn off the 3d sky with "r_3dsky 0".

Attention Server Admins:

Since the map is larger than 16MB with all the custom content, put "netmaxfilesize 64" into server.cfg to allow download of the map. However with BZIP2, it is from now on possible to compress large files which the players must download before being able to play (e.g. maps...) This way you can reduce the size of the delosttemple2 download from 49MB to 28MB. Also the file gets downloaded from your fast webserver. That allows an enormous saving of time at the time of the remote loading. Just follow these easy steps: * Download the file "delosttemple2.bsp.bz2" @ http://files.ingame.de/counterstrike/gameserver/cstrike/maps/delosttemple2.bsp.bz2 * In your server.cfg set "svdownloadurl http://www.yourURLgoeshere.com/cstrike". (insert your own domain name) * In the publichtml directory (default) of your webserver create a new folder "cstrike" and a subfolder "maps". * Place the file "delosttemple2.bsp.bz2" in the folder "cstrike/maps" on the webserver via ftp. * Keep in mind you still need to install the map delosttemple2.bsp on your gameserver as you would normally do.

Thanks to Magikus & r00t for pre-beta feedback! Thanks to Die Maulwürfe for the closed beta test!
