How can I get my weapon to not show up in the picture?

Multiplayer/player setup/ handedness = center

edit: or write "hand 2" in console!

Hey LeRay, forgot to say, even though its a nice screenshoot, its a bit dark. Maybe you could do something about that...

Well, I made many changes since that pic, so I'll get one up soon. I just tested that idea I had, that I haven't seen before. It worked out great, I think you guys are going to love it.

Here's a new screenshot, hope it's a little better...

Try cl_gun 0- this leaves no weapon icon in the center.

Thanks X7 and knightmare.
The map is getting there, but I still have a long way to go.

OK, I have a question for you guys. I created a small pad (which is a moving platform) that circles the map in the air. At a few spots on the map, you can jump on the pad and ride it around the map. Do you think this is a good idea?

Some maps have been done with that with succes, just make it so that you cant be fragged when you crumble or else you are just a practic target.

I think that if there were several platforms then it would be a very interesting dynamic. There are a few popular maps with similar concepts like a helicopter that flies around in an Action Quake 2 map. But a new fun dynamic would be to have several moving platforms that a player could jump on a second platform to try and catch up to the person that has just jumped on the first. Especially if they are close enough together that you can jump between them at certain points.

Is the existing platform a func_train or a func_rotate. Func_rotate's have this strange ability to cause crushing damage if a player touches 2 or more surfaces of that rotating platform at the wrong angles.

Hello peeweerota,
2 platforms is a really good idea! The helicopter also gives me another idea about the platforms. These platforms are just "function: moving platform" in Tread. Thanks for the comments.
