MapCore CS:GO Playtesting 3.0

    Hello again friends!

    Would it be possible to test again on 1/19, I'd like to see how the changes to the spawns/runtimes and various gameplay tweaks have added up. Considering the recent 1/14 playtest I can wait until a later date if necessary, although If no one else wants to lay claim to the slot I'll happily do so.

    This version has also been uploaded to the workshop and features an updated radar image:

    Thanks everyone for playtesting!

    Sadly my pc crashed in the first half, so i missed a big part of the testing.

    The following notes i have written down during the playtest:

    • mid is not tactical, but a pure deathmatch platform (going to redesign that)
    • tunnel might be too thin
    • other pathes are too thin too
    • t-spawn too dark
    • bombspot a needs more free movement
    • bombspot b needs more cover
    • t-spawn warehouse exit is rarely used since it is not seen by most players
    • might add in another entrance to b form ct-spawn
    • clip of the shelfes in the warehouse
    • block campercorner below the lower terrorist entrance on a

    I would be very thankfull if you can add your inputs and opinions.

    Playtesting sessions are scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 21:00 GMT+1. We playtest a maximum of 2 maps per playtest.

    For map creators:
    If you want your map tested, post in the thread and suggest a day that is suitable for you. If the above mentioned time isn't a good fit, let us know and we can probably work something out!

    Prior to the test you will have to send Roflzomglol one .bsp file, one .nav file and an optional .kv file. All custom content (models, materials, sounds, mapradar) needs to be packed into the bsp. For this, you can use Pakrat. He'll take care of the rest!



    Submissions can be considered accepted if they appear in the schedule, this can take up to 24 hours.


    Reminder: Please give your map a proper suffix like _v03 so that there won't be any problems with conflicting filenames in the following playtests.

    Alright, we're going to playtest DE_Zoo and DE_Bagra in 5min, so prepare yourselves!


    Biggest changes of my map are:


    * Removed growling dog

    * Removed T-Link, increasing importance of gaining control of Mid as terrorists.

    * Tweaked Mid by a good deal, harder for terrorists to rush it. Boost into window is now easier

    * Tweaked Timings in favor of terrorists a little

    * Improved overall architecture (less noisy) and made environment more colorful


    * Map is now too dark; lowered brightness by 20


    I would like to test out how the changes impact the gameplay and the atmosphere, so I'd be glad if you could join us!

    First of all, A site is THE shit!

    I really like it, just some polishing and it's done, good jerb!

    About B site, I think it's cool but I dont feel it's solid yet. Maybe play with the placement a little, move it closer or further to the terrorists or even put it underneath the platform since its pretty unused, i dont know. But make it feel more like a bombsite and not like in the middle of a corridor. At least that's how it feels to me. And that grey room behind the bombsite seems pretty unused as well, maybe find a way to make it more interesting/useful (by opening it up?).


    Here some screenshots <3

    Thanks for the feedback, RZL!


    Glad A site turned out good, thought it might be a bit of a sniping hell

    I'll try something different for B. Perhaps indeed move it downstairs as that area doesn't really have a gameplay purpose.


    Anyone else experienced the wallhack like RZL did? If so, what are your ingame settings? I'm a bit clueless atm as to why this occurs, so perhaps that has something to do with it.

    Any other feedback would still be greatly appreciated! Especially about gameplay and any other visual glitched anyone might have seen (the water/fake water tends to create the weirdest stuff sometimes).

    I got that thing in the screenshot, but not always. depended on the angle I looked at the wall.


    All max settings except aa at x4, tex filtering x4. Multicore on, vsync and motion blur off. 1600 x 900 windowed mode

    Okay, I think I figured it out. Source doesn't like rendering regular brushes through water very much. Should be solved if I add some displacements in front of them. Thanks all!
