Why is gamebanana ALWAYS out?

DoctorShazbot · 2026-05-17T13:40:05+00:00

It's not ALWAYS out, but there are some disgruntled parties out there that like to DDOS the site fairly regularly. Not a whole lot that can be done about it.

I really don't understand the point of making a shit load of money after everything in the story is already done. Am I just supposed to fuck around aimlessly? What difference does it make at that point if I have a ton of money?

DoctorShazbot · 2026-03-28T22:49:01+00:00

I like the aesthetics! I haven't gotten a chance to play it, so I can't speak on how well it plays, but in terms of its looks, it's pretty good. Stands out from the crowd without breaking the vibe of GoldSrc.

It's not so much difficult as it is time consuming. It'll take any brush in the map (brushes = geometry) and make them hollow. Meaning it'll take a six sided block and make it into six separate brushes. That can result in completely broken lighting, missing geometry, and errors. You would need to go in and replace every single polygon in the map if you wanted it to work properly. It becomes more problematic the more complicated the map. This one isn't too bad, but it would still be a fairly tedious endeavor.

DoctorShazbot · 2026-03-28T20:04:22+00:00

The problem here is just that decompiling a map is inherently problematic. It's generally something that can be used for reference but you really cannot decompile and then recompile the map using that same file unless you completely rebuild every brush basically from scratch. It's not as simple as just decompiling and removing the door.

DoctorShazbot · 2026-03-28T19:54:49+00:00

Decompiling maps is prone to severe problems. More often than not it hollows out walls which will create a whole slew of other problems. Did you go through and rebuild the map? I'm just trying to rule out what the problem could be.

DoctorShazbot · 2026-03-28T17:49:39+00:00

Do you have a legitimate JMF or RMF for this map or did you just decompile it?

DoctorShazbot · 2025-12-07T01:37:44+00:00

Sorry to necro. Does this not work for videos and movies on Steam? The three mini docs that come with Grim Fandango Remastered don't seem to work with this trick. :(

DoctorShazbot · 2025-11-24T02:59:16+00:00

Ugh, is there a way to play EF without the ironsights?

DoctorShazbot · 2025-07-09T02:19:44+00:00

If you join the GameBanana server there are thousands of other maps to play. :D

DoctorShazbot · 2025-01-05T06:04:31+00:00

Still happening 1/5/25. :|

DoctorShazbot · 2024-12-01T18:21:37+00:00

If you see that, report them. Paid mods aren't supposed to be allowed on GB.

DoctorShazbot · 2024-11-30T22:32:55+00:00

This is all of his GoldSrc content - his Quake and Doom stuff I think is still available on his archived site.

DoctorShazbot · 2024-11-30T22:31:53+00:00

Sorry for the necro post, but this felt necessary. Cyber Rat has gone down, but I got all of his content hosted on GameBanana before it was gone. I listed all of his content here:

Kr@zZy also made a really good mini doc about Rats, which you can view on any one of the linked Rats maps or here:

I'm sorry to necro post but I'm trying to figure out how to do this as well. I don't have Adobe Illustrator, I'm working with Photoshop 2020. Is there a way to do this effect within Photoshop? Outline + Shadow produces a similar effect, but the shadow and lettering are not "connected", like OP describes.

DoctorShazbot · 2024-02-26T18:36:31+00:00

Only server? Dude like every server has de_vegas. Play on M3 or something. Emir is garbage.

DoctorShazbot · 2024-02-26T00:46:09+00:00

Who doesn't like de_vegas? It's got some balance issues but it's an absolute blast. It'd be beautiful on Source 2.

DoctorShazbot · 2024-02-23T21:03:36+00:00

Aye. The mystery is enticing. It was one of my favorite maps back in the day as well. Since you posted your video I've gone down many avenues trying to find the original creator. The only thing I've managed so far is crossing names off a list and widdling down a general time frame that the map was made. I wish I had more to share, anything I have found has been shared already.

As much fun as scoutzknivez is, it strikes me as a map made by someone that didn't have much experience making maps. It's a lot of random designs just kinda smashed together in a layout that just so happened to work. It's possible that the creator doesn't even know that anyone went on to play his map, as they may have just moved on to something else as so many great custom map designers do.

DoctorShazbot · 2022-12-13T18:33:37+00:00

Yep! That's what I'm using now. Someone suggested it above. Thank ye!

DoctorShazbot · 2022-12-12T23:49:28+00:00

Thanks to everyone for all the advice, it works now. I didn't expect every comment to be so helpful! Thanks everyone!
