MapCore CS:GO Playtesting 3.0

Here's a map I'd like to throw into the ring for playtesting. The (current) name is de_hierophant, but it will probably be renamed in the near future, because the theme I was going to use, I've decided not to (probably). Anyway... the download URL for the map follows (Workshop), and attached is an overview:

I'd like to have it tested as soon as possible, though due to my job, etc...I might not be there in person. Thanks a lot!

Am I being an ass in saying that you should be there in person when testing your map?

1.We're not professional testers providing some kind of feedback service. We all take time of doing something else to test your map so I think it's fair to expect map makers to show up.

2. You miss a lot of indirect feedback by not participating and observing how the map is playing and feedback in ingame chat.

Suggest one of the days stated in the first post when you think that you can be there imo.

This is true. I of course don't see Mapcore as some kind of 'service', though.

That being said, the first playtest I could possibly make would be Thursday, the 26th. Until then, I shall work on my personal website or something, since I can't really do much else until I get some feedback regarding layout/etc.

Hey,

Id like to throw in my map for a playtest too

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=204347013

Can this be tested on sunday or monday?

Bit of a late notice, but do you think we could do another de_shotoen playtest on Thursday?

I haven't changed too much, but hopefully this version is better. I rearranged the T garden path to mid, tried to make bombsite A more appealing to T's, and attempted to get rid of some excessive corners. Still not too sure about mid though, guess there's only one way to find out.

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!

Edit 1: Added Strangers playtest date to 22.12.13

Edit 2: Added Squads playtest date to 26.12.13

Playtest of MaK's de_shotoen is starting now! Come join us! 78.46.119.137:27016

Edit: and afterwards we can playtest either de_cbble or de_overpass just for fun.

I would still like to retain my playtesting slot for the 26th, but my map name is changing. It is now called de_pozar.

Can I change the title of Hierophant's thread to reflect this change or can I just start a new thread and have the old one deleted? I don't want to spam the 3D forum.

I'll have a new version of my map for Sunday if it's still available.

Sorry but i couldnt upload the mapfiles in time since the HDD they were on broke . Have a backup though

Stranger and TheOnly unfortunately didn't manage to get their maps for the playtest. We will playtest Setin's and Squad's maps as a stand-in now! Join us! 78.46.119.137:27016

hey, I'd like to playtest my map as well if possible, sunday(29th) seems ok to me

link to download: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23699866/media/cs/de_shade.zip

that bsp should also contain navigation for bots, kv file and radar.

I'd like a spot this sunday as well for de_folly_v2, ill upload the bsp as soon as I compile

Download link for de_pozar, which is my replacement for de_hierophant. The .zip includes BSP and NAV files, as well as radar and a copy of the green dev texture that I used for grass in the terrorist spawn (oops.)

Hi, I just updated my map Insertion. Need to do a playtest. This thursday maybe? Or any other day when the server is available!

I'll make a schedule like this every now and then (~weekly) from now on, so that we have a better overview and I don't have to spam this topic that much with confirmations. Meaning: submissions can be considered accepted if they appear in the schedule, this can take up to 24 hours. I hope you're alright with this solution.

Sweet! I'll try to connect tomorrow. It will be my first time, what should I know?

I have an updated version of my map up on Dropbox, made some changes today. Download URL below!
