Re: The Half-Life and Counterstrike Thread
-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tips on how to Install maps and play them from the Menu of CS -=-=-=-=-=-=-
** Now since the map is downloaded (from the links given above or use this link <A href="*<a%20href=/" target=_blank>www.cstrike-planet.com/maps/cstrike
** Extract the map (using any ZIP utility) in ur cstrike folder>maps and the map wich u hv extracted will hv a .bsp extension.
** Locate a text file named as mapcycle.txt in the "cstrike" folder) and write the name of the map u hv jus extracted eg: de_aztec (without the .bsp extension) and only the map name. Save and close the text file and wen u start the CS game, u will see ur newly map in the map options.
NOTE:
** If the map contains folders other than the ".bsp" extension file like the gfx, sound, models, sprites etc. then copy the files or subfolders (folders contained within folders eg: in models folder, if another subfolder is present, then copy that subfolder in "cstrike>models" )
llly, for sound if there is another subfolder (of that map) then it is NOT REQUIRED that individual files must be copied to "cstrike>sound" folder of CS 1.6, instead copying the entire subfolder (from sounds folder to "E:\Lords\Counter Strike 1.6>cstrike>sounds") will do.
** For ".wad" files must be copied to "cstrike" folder ONLY and NOT in cstrike>maps folder.
** For "RES" files, copy them to cstrike>RESOURCE folder.
** For ".mdl" files (model files), copy them to "cstrike>models" folder.
** For Sound files, copy the folder/files straight to "cstrike>sound" folder.
** For ".nav" files, copy them to "cstrike>maps" folder.
** For files in the "overviews" folder (which contains map image and txt file), copy the files to "cstrike>overviews" folder.
** For subfolders/files present in the "sprites" folder, copy the subfolder to "cstrike>sprites" folder.
