What is this 'entity editor'?
It couldn't be VHE, as I would need to recompile/convert it to edit it.
Is there anyone who could please at least mentioned the name of this 'entity editor'?

All I want to do, is remove all the entities in CS:S maps and add GE:S entities to them.
If there is no tutorial for this, could someone please explain to me how to do this?
I would be forever grateful :)

PS!
I'm not asking for your opinions, and if you don't have anything to contribute: don't post!


Thanks in advance and best regards,
Nymph.

Urgh, that's the last thing I want to see, CS:S maps in GE:S.

Really I mean this sincerely, don't waste your time even thinking about it. Firstly you'll piss off the majority of the community, who like any sane person, doesn't want to see Goldeneye: Source tarnished with a bunch of quite frankly shit maps. I will literally top myself if I ever see a ge_dust2 LTK 24/7 server.

CS:S is in no way the pinnacle of game design, it's completely overrated for what was once a simple multiplayer mod that just happened to be the first in its genre.

Kinky:
Couldnt disagree any more. CSS is a masterpiece, dont blame the game for what the community made of it. As much as i dont want to see de_dust2 on GES. If you are going to say its a badly designed map you really should think again....

@ Mangely
I think the CS:S maps would be perfect for gameplays as Team Deathmatch, Capture the Key and such.
And if you're that against CS:S maps, don't play on that server, simple as that.
And as you talk for the whole community, you shouldn't be afraid for some CS:S maps.

Also, like Kinkey says, the CS:S maps are from no way badly designed.
You have to seriously be blind as a bat to think that GE:S maps are well designed over CS:S maps.

@ Kinkey
Indeed.
I was thinking of maps as de_piranesi, de_tides, de_chateau and cs_havana.
Maybe the standards too, but I think these maps mentioned above would fit perfectly to Team Deathmatch and Capture the Key.


Best regards,
Nymph.

Mangley:
I didn't say CS:S is badly designed, but I see it as a very, very negative thing to be associating with GE:S.. The way I see it, a mod is there to give you a new experience, and people may not enjoy playing the same CS:S maps that they've played for hundreds of hours before when they're really looking for a refreshing experience.

By the same sheer principal I would never want to see Team Fortress maps or Day of Defeat maps in GE:S. Not to mention I don't agree at all with ripping maps to other games.

At the end of the day they are two separate games that play very differently from eachother. Sure, GE:S has TDM but CS:S maps aren't tailored to GE:S gameplay at all, not to mention all the variety of game modes that we have.

Sure they may run on the same game engine and have a lot of the same players but that's really all they should have in common. I don't think I speak for absolutely everyone, but I'm certain I speak for everyone who doesn't like CS.

You guys are just cs fanboys nanana :P
