VIEW FROM CIVIC CENTER

The long holidays (not so long, 1 month only) are rather boring as there isn't really much to do. It was then I received a messege, "Want to go to uni meet or not?"

Not doing anything at the moment, why not?

I arrived at uni 'shortly' after I received the messege. Reaching there, we moved to a new location. THE CIVIC CENTER. O.o

It had been a rather long time since I went to the top floor of the building. Well, the going up trip wasn't that pleasant. Everything seems to become smaller at a very fast rate.

The reward for sitting in the lift to the top floor(labelled 3rd floor -.-) was the fantastically cool breeze and the cinematic view of Kuching City.

The traffic to town.

Sarawak Club (No more indoor Swimming Pool -.-)

The Civic center Planetarium.
Looks like a turtle shell.
If you look closely, you can see a chair. O.o


Light from the heavens.
This picture looks like some movie scene where the holy light emerges from the sky and destroys the bad guys.
It was only a while later that the wind started getting stronger. We could see the dark clouds pouring out rain coming towards us. Time to leave.
After we left, some of us did not had enough fun yet. So we dropped by at spring until later when we met up in uni again and left.
CIVIC CENTER. Ooooo

COUNTER STRIKE - NO SOURCE NO STEAM

Counter-Strike....
An ever popular game since the year 1999. It is a first person shooting tactical game which originated from Half-Life. The latest now is the Counter-Strike version 1.6. (Excluding Source and Condition Zero).

Playing the game gives a life time experience on a virtual war field where we have to team up with other people and working together with them to achieve a certain goal.

There are several types of missions for this game.

The first is the hostage rescue whereby the counter-terrorists are to rescue all the hostages by bringing them all to the rescue zone.

Second is the bomb defuse mission. This is where the terrorists' mission is to plant a c4 in a bomb site and makes sure it safely detonates without the counter-terrorists defusing it.

The next is the VIP protection where a particular person must be protected from the terrorists throughout the whole mission and ensure that he safely reaches the departure site.

There are also certain missions where the terrorists are to rush out of a certain map.

Lastly is the no mission maps where the only mission is to kill the opposing team until only one team survives.

An image of counter-terrorists which are the police force.
Holidays are rather troublesome. So I took the liberty to learn how to make CS maps.


A map I made with valve hammer. fy_jungle2.bsp

The valve hammer tool.
I am particularly working on my university map to be a hostage rescue mission map.
Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus. (1st floor done)


Same as above just now it has 2 floors.

The only catch about this map is that the match must be balanced for both teams. As for the original construction of the map, it will be a major disadvantage for the counter-terrorists as they have to work their way up to the 1st floor only to meet the camping terrorists. O.o
I hope I can get this map done and over with soon and maybe I will start making a bomb defusing map for my campus when the new block is released. ^.^
