Looking for a rare old DM map
Hi all,

I have been for some time now looking for a certain map I'm pretty sure I played once in the past (only on a Spanish server, around year 2008) and I bet I didn't imagine it in my dreams. Going to describe it giving as much detail as possible, in distinct lines:

- Night map. Basically flat. You were mostly able to see the opposite side from any edge of the map.
- Not big; middle sized. Square shape.
- Featuring a countryside nature area with grass ground (maybe with few plants). Open air.
- Surrounded by not very complex brushes/displacements (mountain-like?)
- There was some sort of structure in the center (maybe a not very tall wooden or stoned semi-open tower), and some loose props like walls around.
- Probably the key aspect that distinguishes it: it had some holes (about 2 meters diameter) distributed near map bounds. I think some were open and lead to underwater (literally enabled below terrain), and other were closed (so just somewhat sunken ground), and possibly allowed you to boost jump or cause something else.

Perhaps it's a map that crashes nowadays after updates, not sure. If anyone briefly recalls a similar map layout and may turns out to have it or even just knows the name, let me know.

Thanks.

It wasn't that one (which I hold in my server mapcycle already), sorry. No, the map I recall was a lot simpler. Also, in case you related it to dm_swamplight_final due to its building and water following my description, no, the structure I talked about just represented a small portion within the open map (at center), and when I mentioned about underwater, I literally meant there was water hidden below ground (like when you make a hole in a ice lake, but not visible through the ground above, as it's grass terrain), enterable through some of these circular holes, among which others did a different thing (teleporting / boost jumping?).

Maybe I could make a cheap recreation in Hammer, but that feels too lazy.

I already looked there months ago, trying to carefully focus on all thumbnails, and couldn't find it. Also did the same with whole 17 Buddies HL2DM maps and mostly same with Gamebanana. It's possible I could have missed it, of course, but I doubt so. Maybe if anyone wants to try...

Thanks!

I am uploading new old stock to ZG, will keep that in mind and let you know if I see something like this!

At this point I'd probably consider giving some small reward to anyone who finds the exact map.

EDIT: the reward would probaby be many Steam points or something similar. I don't use that stuff.

That is not even a rare map, I know it, and doesn't have anything in common with the description (did you even read it?). Sorry.
