Skybridge - Bomb/Defuse & Hostage rescue
by Gordon Lee (cmg_lee@yahoo.com) April 2001

csde_skybridge is a hybrid defusion/rescue map based on the skybridge of
the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  Ts & CTs duke it
out on 5 levels of the bridge (and a tightrope strung across the base).
Since the action takes place hundreds of feet up, slips are deadly!

      Key:
           CT : Counter-terrorists         H  : Hostage
            T : Terrorists                 R  : Rescue point
        ....s : Sniper                     B  : Bomb target

Features:

The interior of the bridge is fairly accurate, though I reduced the
steepness of the legs and slung a net in between them.  The tower
interiors are completely fictitious.  The towers are also smaller
than life-size to save wpolys and stay within the +-4096-unit limit.


Installation:

Unzip csde_skybridge.bsp, csde_skybridge.txt and csde_skybridge.rbl
into your cstrike\maps directory.  If you wish to modify the map,
unzip csde_skybridge.map (Worldcraft) or csde_skybridge.qkm (Quark).


Bugs: 

1. wpolys have grown past 700.  Help with hint brushes or other
   ways to reduce r_speeds most welcome.

2. Terrorists can push the hostages off the bridge after breaking
   the windows.  They do not die but are beyond reach of CTs.

3. Realbots have a lemming-like tendency to commit suicide!


Changes since beta1:

1. Modified geometry/textures/lights/sounds for more realism &
   smaller sky-box.
2. Moved hostages for Terrorists' use as human shields.
3. Reduced damage from falls in lift-shaft using trigger_gravity.
4. Added cameras for starting "slide show".
5. Added fairy lights to tightrope a la Entrapment
   -- good thing it doesn't snap this time!


Being a counter-map newbie, I'm sure csde_skybridge has
much room for improvement, so feel free to modify or reuse
my map.  I'd love to see what you can come up with!  Enjoy :-)
