The two final images of the pond are broken for me. Everything else looks amazing, though. I loved this map back in beta 1 and it looks like you made it even better. Great job. =)
hmmm, i just tested the last two images and they worked for me...:( I'll take a look at it again just to be sure though.

EDIT: 100th
The map is really looking good.
Just a question: if I understood correctly the pond isn't as bright as before, because it's supposed to have a/some layer/s of snow above the ice, or the snow is very faint. If there is so much snow on it that you could hardly see the ice, why would it be that reflective?
So send it to the other mappers and you can all work on it together, I'm sure they want to see it up and running as much as you do. I've been dying to try this map for a long time.
Oh God, this happened between Luch, Sharp, and myself when we were doing the tower addition and some miscellaneous cleanup for Runway. Never, ever have multiple people working on the same map file (especially over an SVN network). It goes to shit fast and changes are impossible to merge (even with the plain-text format of a .vmf).

By the way, I AM NOT A MexiCANT!!!!
Better get to work, wouldn't want to "leak" the last build ;)
Just wanted to fill you guys in on progress tonight, the map is doing great and I am back to where I was before I lost it last. In fact, I have already updated and added some new textures/effects/bug fixes. :) A better siberia (until the official comes out) is on the way guys. :) Thanks for giving me the motivation to keep going.
Thank You Thank You. i cant wait for your Surface map (from the gameplay videos it looks rather complete)

Small Update:
Some big progress and changes are coming.... :) Got a lot accomplished today. Screenshots soon....
Looking Forward :D any hints?Ski slopes like you wouldn't believe
Hey Saint,
I watched this thing too but I just realised by now how great this is, this makes my fingers itchy, like I need to write something for it *fireinhiseyes* :D
Cheers buddy,
GZ
hang on i remember hearing a short snippet of a Surface 2 Song in the GE_music_case mp3 that i found on this website..it was part of a complication- rather enjoyable.
The team cannot steal someone else's work unless we have their permission. There are three sound designers, And they have all blown me away so far, I suggest we leave them be and let them do their work because it is flawless.
I would use that, but it is only part of a compilation...way too short. I wouldn't mind using it if he had it done, but most likely it will just get added to the music in the official release.Cannot wait
By the way, still hackin' away at siberia :)
Cy found a way to do it with his map.

can we have a public beta of the map to test for bugs and stuff :)

Lmao, yea, I did it with Runway AND Caverns.We love you anyway.

are there going to be any snowman?
Hey CCSaint10, what is the day that your suppose to dress up as boris and run around wal-mart profusely clicking a pen, and yelling "I'm INVINCIBLE" again?
Link or it didn't happen.

You know what I'm talking about...know need to be "Coy" :)
In fact, you should put in some snowmen built over barrels for some exploding snowmen.You don't even need to add a barrel to the snowmen, just compile a version of it which is also spawning barrel pieces when breaking and has an explosion.
Yes, the ice is nice and slippery. :)Sounds good.
Well, You still got four months until christmas!
Since I can't whip you irl, ill pressure you via the web.

and the best thing too is that Siberia 2 (you know the 2nd Siberia level in the original) with be much easier- just change the skybox and have it darker and presto

Anyways, thanks for the remarks guys. I figured after we all talked about doing a release video for third party maps to get people fired up in another thread that I would be the start to that. :-)
Really, that turning helps getting to see the map, but it gives me headaches. Does 'coming December 2011' mean only the map will be released or 4.2 will be released? :o
only the map I suppose. I look forward to something really special in december: walking through snow, painted with your bloodDas bisschen Blut, das macht nichts, das ist biologisch abbaubar. *hust*

Yes it does CCsaint.Don't hold your breath on that.
That 4.2 will release in december :D. i thought your trailer was amazing.
That 4.2 will release in december :D
I can read you like a book CCsaint :D.
Fighting for the top of the satellite dish will also be loads of fun. ;)
imagine trying to use sniper riffles in a fog...using snowman as cover...cant wait :)
I can read you like a book CCsaint :D.It seems everyone else is reading a foreign translation of this book, and they don't speak the language, and the book is upside down.

i have the feeling that siberia will be one of the great third party maps because it adds something new: imagine trying to use sniper riffles in a fog...using snowman as cover...
Under no circumstances let E-S into his house.
Shame we can't make snow angels and put up Christmas lights.
hehe, we should start taking bets on the release date in December and mark down which people are right. Then we can find some sort of reward to give out. :-)
I think it will release on either the 25th or 31st of December :D.
has this been released before?
Not that people have anything better to do on Christmas Day and New Years EveWell I don... oh wait, that was rethorically and not everyone is like me ~
January 6th.
tsk tsk tsk :-)
Front page? Where/what?
Who will have the right date? Only time will tell. :-) :-)I believe I will.
Two days two days two days two days two days two days two days two days two days.
/repeat for the next two days.
?Someone has had a psychotic break waiting for this beast of a map. Probably on the verge of flinging excrement at passersby and screaming nonsense at potted plants.
*grumble grumble*To repeat I had it in my head that we were talking about v4.2.

Release the map already Saint.
If only you knew...... that it's scheduled to be released along with 4.2 (?) :o
... that it's scheduled to be released along with 4.2 (?) :oIf only it were that simple.
The barrels were made by E-S. I made an alternate snowy texture on top of his to fit with the snow. Why are you telling me about the towers having lights in the night version....this isn't a night version.
I have possibly considered toying with the layout a little more before a 4.2 version comes out. Making it smaller of finding some alternate method. I don't know. We will see if anything happens. As of right now, I hope people keep playing it. I haven't had a chance to really jump in with people but hopefully it has been enjoyable. Lots of fun in that map.
RED RUM, RED RUMSaint should tackle the hedge maze from the Shining. People think they get lost now...
why not creating a footprint-decal and stamp it in the snow? and a frozen axe lying around
PS: You could have waited to take a screenshot when I wasn't being owned by Mijy.
Ah, so that's what you meant! No, I couldn't see that.
I found these two small "problems" the other day while playing on Spectrum's server:I believe this is a driver problem. Had these skybox lines on and off with various games and various graphics cards.

I think you can only see the gaps on lower settings because I asked the people in the server and they said they could see nothing.
I don't have these lines.
I believe this is a driver problem. Had these skybox lines on and off with various games and various graphics cards.
I made a reference to my low settings. That's why I see them; if you have HDR or bloom enabled, it's possible you don't see them because they cover the gaps.
Everything runs fine here, everywhere, except for Siberia. It's not something terribly important, of course. just a very minor thing I spotted. The rest looks fine, except for the huge size :D .
why not creating a footprint-decal and stamp it in the snow?Yes, yes we should.
It's odd, I also play/test on extremely low settings and haven't seen the gaps in the skybox before.
DirectX 8.1? I have DX9 but I force 8.1On the test machine, 9.
Yeah, I know, I'm crazy. The truth is everything runs so smoothly now.
DirectX 8.1? I have DX9 but I force 8.1Are you on Unix, or just using a GPU from the stone age? :P
Are you on Unix, or just using a GPU from the stone age? :P
Try "r_3dsky 1" in the console.
Last I checked, 2006 wasn't the Stone Age. [since you like to go that way, may I remind you that silicon is actually made from stone?] It can handle DX9 mighty fine (read that again) but I prefer to force 8.1 since I don't dig occasional slideshows of crowded GES firefights.That's kind of odd, since any API (like D3D) is JIT compiled to shaders with current drivers.
Your CPU sucks balls :-DThank you for not showing restraint.
Thank you for not showing restraint.It's an object. Don't take it personally ;)
It's an object. Don't take it personally ;)I didn't, you don't have to worry. I just didn't like your tone, that's all. Topping it off with the silicon remark was not necessary, though. We know you know silicon is a mineral.
