One question

[Yuri]

I have a quick question, and this seemed to be the place to ask it.... ignoring that "Source" part.

Anyway, I was just wondering what the "fy" in the fy maps stands for. My friend thought it was the name of the clan that started the maps, but I don't know.

Its just that I have been making a "killbox" map (somewhat small area with weapons on the ground) and don't want to call it fy if it stands for something else.

Sorry if this is unrelated.

No, please, no more killbox maps ;(

I can't stand them :/

 

[slicktick]

its not for a clan, its the map type.

Badger, give me a chance, I think you may like my map. Then again I can't speak for you, but I can say that it is not a "killbox." Rather it is on the small side and weapons will be on the ground.

And slicktick, I know its a map type now, but I wanted to know what it stood for. You know how de is for defuse and cs is for... well, counterstrike I suppose. Hmm... what the hell does "as" stand for then? Heh.

Well, I know that de = defuse.

Google is your friend:

"fy_ maps: FY (said to stand for "**** you") maps are team deathmatch maps where the only objective is to kill the opponents. FY maps are usually very small and simple. The spawn points are often not in a buy zone, instead the weapons are laying on the ground, usually one of each type."

'as' maps are 'assassination' maps, by the way.

Well, thanks a lot, dude. Didn't think of using the mighty google for some reason. Heh.

So I guess I was right in saying cs is counterstrike... meaning the CTs are counter-attacking the T's who took hostages. Right?

Pretty much, yeah.

yes "cs_" maps were originally the only types of maps implemented, as seen in the beta. much like other mods "dod_avalanche dod_cain dod_whatever" - when Defusal type missions were added the cs team opted to distinguish them from the normal hostage type maps, so de stands for defusal while cs stands for counter-strike, being that the original game-type was hostage rescue. this is my understanding. i didnt join beta 1... i joined up in the cs craze in like... beta 3?

OooOoOh. Response from the experts. Thanks, guys.

So it will be named fy_coach.

And it'll be done by early next week, hopefully.
