Custom Map Makers

you mean like those on ambush?
i think its this shader:
masheen/beam_dusty_sodium

Owww, okay
Thanks!

I can make a tutorial on what each of them do, in detail if that would help? I know most of them, either by reading up on them, searching through code or making test maps.

Dont forget the last one.

-rashbump LOL I totally should include that for laughs
