Welcome back, shit has changed but it's all right - we are just as crazy as before.

You should get your avatar back though. Photobucket deactivated your acc it seems.

Damn you're finally back.

Well, I did this with Dm_Concrete a while back:

Fk_Stalker_Concrete

I found Dm_Concrete to be a really promising setting for a type of gameplay I had in mind. Basically, both teams are given a knife only, and the environment is extremely dark in most areas. The objective of the map is to hide in the dark shadows, completely hidden from eyesight, and stalk other players on the opposite team. You can hide and wait, or you can creep around and "ghost" people (kill them without others seeing). There's several breakable lights within the map and a number of glocks hidden too. When me and my friends played it, we never used the glocks to shoot other players. We simply used them to shoot out lights.

Anyway, we had some fun nights playing this. The soundtrack I made for it that plays in the background every round makes it really creepy. Some people were too afraid to play it.

Zm_Concrete

This is the same layout as the previous map, but I made it much more suitable for survival Zombie Mod in CSS. I went crazy with the lighting too. People complained that it was too difficult for humans, despite the fact that there's a spot that's virtually impossible for zombies to take over. There's several visual flaws that I created when re-arranging pieces and such, but overall it turned out to be a really awesome-looking map compared to the other ZM maps you see out there.

PS: I credited you in the readme/notes section.

EDIT: I just realized I made a post a long time ago a page back about the older versions of these maps. :-D
