MapCore CS:GO Playtesting 4.0

If my map is still greyboxed and not detailed, but the layout is set and most of the basic principles of the map are there, can I submit it for a test then?

A map doesn't have to be detailed to be tested. You need:

-At least 10 spawns per team
-Basic optimization so it runs on every PC
-Working Radar
-Custom content packed
-Basic clipping

Basically it just has to be in a playable state so valuable testing is possible.

Well it has spawns, I know how to make a working radar and how to pack the custom content.

For optimization i'm not so sure. I've never looked into that, but I guess while the map is still quite simple it doesn't need much optimization.

About the clipping:

I clipped some spots where you should get over while jumping on your own.
I clipped spots where the bomb would get stuck.
But there are spots (walls) where you can boost ur friend on or throw the bomb over.

If a player has some common sense, he would know that isn't a spot he should boost or throw the bomb,

Is it necessary to clip those spots too?

-Greyboxes need only little optimization, but if you skip this by 100% it might be unplayable on some PCs.

-Just avoid selfboosts so nobody is able to get out of the map on their own.

Okay, I'll look into some optimization techniques, never bad to learn them anyway.

Any tips?

func_detail; hint/skip; render distance for models; area portals(enough to do this in later stages of a map)

I've recently submitted my map, Docks, for playtesting. It was rejected because the custom content wasn't packed into the .bsp. I think I may have uploaded the wrong file and was wondering whether you could give it another try:

Yes. Just make sure the map has a working radar, enough spawn points (16 per team) and working bomb sites/hostages.

Okay, thanks to remind me of the 16 spawnpoints per team.
I just have 10 each.
And i'll probably add some priority too them, something I learned today by browsing the forum.

Just checked it, there is still custom content missing, the radar is the same as well. Here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/YwPzs37.jpg

I think that I must have forgotten to pack a curb model. I think that this one should work:

I've fixed the radar too.

Yepp, looks good to go, but the date is already full now. Wanna playtest on the 28th instead?

Better make it the 31st, I can't do Thursdays. Would you like me to fill out another submission form?

No, it's fine, I updated your submission.

Okay, thanks.

Status 2 in the playtest forms says "OK, fnuggi's type of map".

I'm curious what it means?

So am I.

I would guess there's a lot of unclipped stuff to climb?

Well I guess it's not that bad. I mean, i clipped most of the basic stuff.
Only thing left are spots where you can trhow the bomb over a wall or boost someone over a wall.
But then the player would be out of the map or stuck so There is no point doing it ( I hope)

The playtest is just for the layout though. i hope people will play it that way.
