We're still on track for releasing an update to Counter-Strike: Source tomorrow.

While we've been talking for a number of weeks about the new hostage rescue map we've been working on (cs_compound), Turtle Rock Studios has also been working on getting de_train converted over to Counter-Strike: Source. Along with cs_compound, we'll be including the new version of de_train in tomorrow's release.

Along with the two new maps, there are a number of fixes to the bots in Counter-Strike, an enhancement to the radar to display your current location in the map, and a fix for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch where players are disguising themselves as headcrabs, filing cabinets, and other invalid models.

Here's a preview of de_train:

Here is the news.

This will make frontpage! :D
 
now, thats nice :) Valve's designer's eyes must be burning from all the work they are producing to keep ontop with these news updates.
 
Yay :)

Disguise yourself as wierd models???? That has to be funny as hell to see!!! Hehe :)
 
That CT in the first pic seems a little small eh?
 
their looks to be a load of new props in their aswell, some of the trains look ace, and the track. and the payload thingy.
 
and a fix for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch where players are disguising themselves as headcrabs, filing cabinets, and other invalid models.
HAHA! If anyone knows how to do this, TELL ME! I wanna try it before they fix it tomorrow :P
 
I compared the two models in the picture. The new model has goggles on.
 
yay! the first offical model for CS (any cs) that has his goggles on (besides SAS)
 
That disguising thing is so funny! But like, wouldn't there be errors with where to put the weapon, or hitboxes?

That's really funny. I can imagine an innocent looking table whipping out the AR2 and... Ohhhh man, that's scary. Imagine a table chasing you down the halls...

/me looks at my desk suspiciously...

I have to.. go.. now...

/me runs

That site disgusts me. Look at their stupid post. They don't even explain WHY the game crashes, or WHY you are invisible.

If they did, then the site could totally turn itself into something respectable, like a modders resource.

Wasted talent, f***in' pisses me off.
 
Haha!! The invisibility exploit works like a charm. Just tried it about 2 minutes ago.

I went on some 1 on 1 server and tried it out. More people joined, and they all went right past me. How the heck did that one get past QC?

Ah well, fun while it lasted.

Hopefully we don't get any more exploits like this. I was completely invisible... weapon, grenades, everything.
 
Thanks goodness. Those little headcrab n00bs were shitting me. As for a new CS map and a remake.. What could be better! :D
 
1. In HL2DM if you open the console and type "cl_playermodel models/items/boxbuckshot.mdl" then hit enter and close the console. For some reason when you die it causes your client and all other clients on the server to crash.

2. In HL2DM if you open the console and type "cl_playermodel sprites/WXplo1.vmt" then hit enter and close the console. This makes you invisible in the game. Does not cause client crash like the 1st one, your just invis.

Valve should do something about Myg 0t, teach them a lesson. And NO, I DON'T SUPPORT CHEATING! *hl2.net blocks the use of of the word Mygo t?
 
guess i'll have to delete the fusion pack to see these new models?
 
Is it REALLY nessesary to just spread all these exploits for everyone to see.

Seriously.

Shouldn't have posted on how to do it....now people will be doing it till they update....grrrrr ;(
 
Relax, the update is coming out in a few hours from now. If I were you, I'd try it out just to have a few laughs. :naughty:
 
i tried it a few days ago and it didn't work for me...well people were shooting at me. And if you check the console its gets spammed to death with weird error messages, so if it doesn't work for you it takes alot down with it. I just validated my files to sort it.
On a side note, since wen has FF been on team deathmatch before recently? My SLAMS keep tking people cos they are too stupid to realise they blow you up...dang beginners :rolleyes:
