WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    I get to start a new project! woooh! de_dynasty, set in a korean palace tourist site. raining. Lots o spec maps


    I'm gonna try to emulate Skybex's WiP process () and show some semblence of methodical planning for once


    I wanted a nice facade for T's (palace w/ reflection in water), which sorta kills any typical mid route regarding gameplay. I was thinking I might create a lateral mid at the foundation beneath A site but there's a big line of sight issue all the way across the water from T spawn. Line of sight and optimization issues are the big issues I'm trying to tackle right now as half the map seems pretty open.

    Always wanted to make some Italy-ish themed de_ map for Counter-Strike, just never had proper time. Here's my attempt now, not too original in layout, but gotta start somewhere on these CS maps I guess. Some screenshots (which aren't too fancy though, simple stuff):

    Outdated (soon to be updated) CSGO-Workshop link (good for comparing some screenshots to see how things have evolved):

    The architecture is nice, it's obvious that you can handle Hammer well. But the theme is generic, we've seen many of these levels already that are Italy-ish. They don't tend to get the job done. I'd really recommend thinking a little bit further outside the box

    Yes, I'm very well aware of this. It's just that this project is more of a learning process for me to create some different themed map I haven't worked on before (NMRiH stuff is mainly urban/city, at work it's mobile games). I can do some texture stuff, but mostly I'm going with whatever assets are available and make the best out of them. Next project could be then bit more ambitious, we'll see whenever that day comes.

    Ran around it and although a tad big, I really like the layout. it's intriging, engaging and the height levels are awsome. I wish you wouldn't go with cs_italy's assets but I understand that it's something you wanna do.

    Really like the layout and can't wait to see the finish product, keep it up!

    It's indeed bit big in the version that's in Workshop, but the latest I'm working on is wee bit tighter in size.


    And, I didn't plan on going fully cs_italy looks, but something I use as a basis. Colors will be brighter and warmer though.

    Good to hear, now update your workshop so we can give you proper feedback

    I think you are nailing it!

    Do you have any reference to share, just to know if is somewhere I've been?

    Can we get more than one screen shot? I'm sure it's a nice map but you will attract more people with some simple main area screen shots.

    Sure, I'll upload more when I get home from school. I have started on a new map project so thats why the one above has not gotten a lot of love yet. The new map will be a favala in the mountains. A new strategy I am starting to use on the new map is too use a 64 or 32 grid primarily, so its easier to make walls and other stuff and also designing the layout before detailing and such

    My map is ready (earlier WIP shots and ), however I've been trying to publish it on the steam workshop for the past 3-4 hours to no avail. There is an infuriating bug with the CSGO map publisher whenever I click on publish, I get "Failed to start uploading file stream".


    No matter how many times I tried at different time intervals, it's the same error. I already tried verifying game cache, disabling/enabling CSGO steam cloud and restarting steam but nothing seems to help. I've been checking the steam forums and many users are experiencing the same: the common point seems to be having more than 100 submissions on the workshop but that is to be verified.


    I posted a thread on the official CSGO workshop steam group and hopefully the Valve guys will weigh in.


    I'm frustrated and about to pull my hair out ; I really need to publish the map


    Are you doing it through the ingame map-publisher thingie? I think I read somewhere the one launched through CSGO-SDK isn't working.

    Quote from spence

    There is a 1gb limit for workshop files if I remember right, but I'm guessing you haven't exceeded that?

    Indeed it is a 1 GB limit; I am only using 330 MB

    Yes, through the workshop_publish in-game command. The publisher link in the SDK was removed in an earlier update.


    I am getting more confirmation of this bug from other users who have more than 100 submissions in the workshop. It wouldn't surprise as I had to deal with a similar bug a year ago where the publisher could only list your first 50 submissions and denying access to the rest after 50.


    Hopefully this gets sorted soon; thanks for the input though.

    Just wanted to say I posted loads more screenshots on the workshop page, if you want to check them out.

    Valve was really quick this time They released an 11MB update today for CSGO that fixed the workshop publisher bug that frustrated myself and many other users who were unable to publish to the workshop the whole yesterday.


    Big thanks to the Valve guys for such prompt fix


    and I was able to publish the map today
