Two questions

Hey!

Uhm, i just found this mod and i think that it is pretty cool. But i got questions i would really like to ask.

Okay, here goes:

1: What are the combine heads for? When i played in freezingpoint, i noticed that my mate ran around with a combine head, and then i found one myself. What do they do?

2: How do you complete Freezingpoint? I am past the part were you fight the badass-chopper, but now i dont know where to go.

I hope you can help!

Cheers!

Well #1 is pretty easy, they're helmets. You put on a combine helmet. Not a combine head.

Not sure about #2, having never played that map.

I think it gives armour, not sure if its for head shots only?

As for freezing point if you made it to the chopper, I think it's a case of clearing up what's left, i.e combine, snipers etc.

The helmet halves the head hitbox damage value or something like that.

Hm, in fact i got another question.

How do i install custom maps?

I cant find any single thread about it. Is it really me who is stupid? =S

In general,

.bsp files go into you obsidian\maps folder

but just incase your not sure...

Are you ok with compressed files and extracting files? i.e programs like winzip,winrar,7zip etc? You can use these programs to extract to the right/relevant folder, although I always extract to a random folder and check the files are correct in terms of corresponding to my obsidian folders.
Personally I normally just move the files either cutting or copying to the correct corresponding folders in my obsidian mod directory.
All maps should contain a .bsp file some maps will have more files in other folders but in general most maps have the files packed or most maps authours have constructed their file that you download so that the correct folders are there already suggested for you.

In general,

.bsp files go into you obsidian\maps folder

Hmm, i already tried to install the maps in the Obsidian/maps folder. But i does not show up when i want to create a server.

And yes, i am quite famillar with winzip/winrar.

Then I can only assume you are doing something wrong, as it works just the same as any mod when adding custom maps, and I don't know of anyone else having this trouble. Are you sure you are putting the .bsp file into maps folder? I'd manually check that the files are going where they should be.
