<div class="IPBDescription">Yet another blackmesa map</div>I made this map for my bot server and people seem to like it, so I thought I'd release it. It's a remake of the old marks servers blackmesa map to fix a nasty exploit that can overflow all clients on the server with MALFORMED_PACKET errors, or potentially crash the server.

BTW, it's a fun map so if you don't like fun maps, don't download this.

I miss MS.

At any rate I don't remember this map (I'm not sure if its a complete remake - but I do remember an NS blackmesa) but I'll surely check it out if I see it on the servers.

The only proper way to fix the bug was to remake the map. The map also had a plethora of other problems like eye searing over-brightness, cramped corridors and weird and illogical brushwork. I didn't bother adding all of the secret areas back to the remake (other than the toilet command in the RR, and part of the first secret where barney is) due to the fact that the playable portion of the map was smaller than all of the secret areas combined.

The only bug with the remake that I haven't been able to iron out (nor have I ever had happen in any of my other maps) is that if you place buildings too close together, you won't be able to select them easily or at all.

I suppose this is a bit late... But I don't see any other new threads in this section, so big deal, right?

I'll check this map out tomorrow (Or later today... 3AM heh), been rather busy with other games and such. I was the maker of ns_ms_blackmesa, which as you probably don't know was a re-make of sorts of ns_blackmesa, a really old map with even worse brushwork and lighting, not to mention it wasn't even compiled for NS properly (Onos getting stuck while trying to crouch was one of many issues). Other than the secrets in the readyroom and such, nearly all of the map was essentially the c1a0.bsp map included with an older version of Worldcraft (Or Hammer as we know it now) copied and mirrored, eventually I added the other parts such as the computer wall in the middle and some vents.

Not that I'm making excuses, I was a terrible mapper, and had only released 2 maps since I first opened Worldcraft (And later Hammer) up and made my first pitch-black empty box. I'm sure most of you don't remember ns_rrfun, the map's sole purpose was running around the readyroom as a skulk, lerk or with a jetpack and revolved around having the teams tech up to get those. I threw in a few 'arenas', basically empty boxes with teleporters from each team's base into them so you could fight. Honestly I don't even remember half of that map anymore, I had so many random things in the ready room.

I definitely don't remember putting that song in my map...
