I was playing cs last night, and thinking, has anyone tried making a surf map for Lugaru? Just wondering...
thanks.

Hehe, never thought of that, but it might actually be possible.
Walls and such are pretty glitchy in Lugaru.
It would be hard to find out how to do it though.

There's a movement glitch in Counter-Strike where if walls are angled a certain way, they can be exploited so you can glide along them at high speeds. That's called surfing, and many maps are made where the objective is to see if you can surf from one end to the other. It's pretty fun.

I don't know how it would work in Lugaru; it might be difficult to engineer.

You can surf up the Rocky Hall.

Here's an example of surfing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGtQHgq3pfk

On an incline like /\, you hold D on the / side and A on the \ side to make your guy go faster, while using the mouse to aim where you go.

awesome idea. hope it works. is counter-strike a seperate game from half-life?

That one's Counter-Strike: Source, and yes it is obviously otherwise it would be called Half Life 2.

HL2 and CSS share the Steam engine, but they are totally separate games.

Steam is a platform that lets you download/play games. Source is the technology that runs HL2 and CSS.

You're right, I always mix those up, thanks for correcting it.

Can you post a screenshot of where you can surf up rocky hall? I havn't been able to find it. But, when I was frolicing around rocky hall, I found that in a few places when two walls come together resembling this --> \/ you can actually slide in the middle part. If its not possible to surf, it probably would be possible to make a slide...

You should be able to surf up any angled surface on the hall that's not too steep; just start running and hit the jump key. It's like a rocky escalator.

If you've looked at some of the other threads about the hall, you also know there are walls you can walk through, an attic with an entrance from outside, and other chambers that are accessible only through skilled use of the ragdoll key.

It's a cool place to sandbox around in.
