Ultimately, here's what was going through my head. Back when I started UT mapping, I stubled across a website that walked you through a simple map. How to set it up, and to use the different brushes, and to apply textures, etc. It had all sorts of screenshots, etc. I'd love to find...

Hehe - I just posted the same thing over in the editing forum.. :)

I know the SDK JUST came out yesterday, but I'm banking on it being pretty similar to the previous SDK, and an existing tutorial website might get me on my feet. I've done a TEENSY bit of mapping with UT, but that's about it. I've NEVER done any Valve-specific mapping. So, when I open up...

Okay - rebooted Steam - seems to be loading now...

Keep getting the site loading very slowly - AND, I can't get the damn SDK because the servers are jammed.. AARRGGHH!!!

I keep getting told its too busy.. Grrr...

Its a Phish lyric = from "Maze" off of Rift. Thanks for all the advice folks! Seems I've just been doing pretty much the right thing - just need to do it more. Although, I did fire it up solo tonight and I developed a theory that might work as a CT in de_piranesi - a way to gain control...

Crap! I liked that! Made it easy getting from one bomb site to the other after you bought it.. Oh well...

Cool - nice to have a ballpark. Thanks.

I tend to try to only play on server where the ping is <30 or so. Am I being too stringent? I mean, I'm not sure - for all I know, a ping of 150 is acceptable... Thoughts?

Ahhh! "Add by ip"! Thanks! I appreciate the info! :)

Okay, just noticed the servers forum. Fantastic - that's what I was looking for. But, how to connect directly to an ip? Console, I assume?

Arfe the servers physically in the UK or Europe or something (I'm US). If it had a really high ping, that would explain my lack of seeing them. But, I HAVE searched for 'em too... Wierd...

I've looked every time I fire up CSS, but never see them. Now, granted, I'm a total newbie WRT CSS - only been playing for about a month or so, so there might be some fancy setting to technique I'm not using... Any help? Is it something like a console login?

Anyone know what the upgrade is? What's in the update? Got some nasty firewalls here at work.

I know the maps in CS:S pretty well at this point. But, for example, in de_piransei, usually the Ts got right for the high ground, and they always seem to get there faster than the CTs can. I'd like to counter that, but short of fighting my way around so I come up on it behind them, I can't...

I'm a new CS player - just started with CS:S. I've learned a bit, but overall, I keep getting owned over and over. If I break .500, I'm doing REALLY well. Does anyone have a good website that goes over strategies for each map? I dunno if such an animal even exists. I just keep getting...

I'm new to this - how do you display the frame rate in-game? I did the stress test. I'd like to try it out in-game.

Just did that with my box. Before the tweak: 88.12 fps After the tweak: 86.95 fps Thnink I'll stick with no options. :)

Well, THAT was certainly a trial by fire. :) Played for a few hours today. I liked it - I learned a TON - even managed to get some decent kills. Thanks for the advice folks!
