Ahh that's what I was afraid of. This works cause your camera setup is fixed, correct? I used to work on gamemodes like control points, king of the hill, etc. And some of them required new ways of communicating score. Sadly, tying a giant UI panel to all players isn't an option when actively playing haha. Nice job regardless!

Great to see new game modes with Vscript How did you manage that UI to show up? Not being able to customize UI was the main reason I dropped my custom game mode projects.

I always enjoyed making weird shit but rarely released anything. Sadly CS:GO never really supported mods properly, hence I abandonned mapping altogether. The Gridlock map from Gears of War, including fully functional control point modes that balanced next spawn locations of the CP and player spawnpoints based on various scores; Same for team fortress maps or other weird shit some ports from Medal of Honor allied assault: I think we may have been to the same spot:

Using Vscript for complex logic in CSGO is still the way to go though..

"de_dust2_winter" { "name" "de_dust2_winter" "minplayers" "10" "maxplayers" "32" "extraspectators" "2" "t_arms" "models/weapons/t_arms_balkan.mdl" "ct_arms" "models/weapons/ct_arms_sas.mdl" "t_models" { "tm_phoenix_variant_aa" "" "tm_phoenix_variant_aa" "" "tm_phoenix_variant_aa" "" "tm_phoenix_variant_aa" "" "tm_phoenix_variant_aa" "" } "ct_models" { "ctm_sas_variante" "" "ctm_sas_variante" "" "ctm_sas_variante" "" "ctm_sas_variante" "" "ctm_sas_variante" "" } }

For my dust2 winter remake I simply used ""tm_phoenix_variant_aa" to make sure the game would grab the right model. The tm_phoenix_ prefix also determines which radio voices are going to be used. If you start putting custom names in there, radio commands wont work.

Go play cod >_>

I don't work there, but I figured this position might be interested for a lot of you here. www.guerrilla-games.com/jobs/job/game/level-design-intern@Itemid=22&&job_id=106

It's not that hard to import this sketchup model into Source2 though.. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=52ec7fa1d1453cce668f5132993ebded You can also visit it in Second Life for inspiration.

Guess I could write a slot machine in vscript that spits out guns if you want

After 1000's of notifications on my dust2 winter reskin coming from russians that spammed crappy gun skins, I thought I'd make my own crappy gun skin Yes, that's how they look in-game :> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=402862267
