de_havana

Hi guys some of you might know me from the mapcore playtests but for those who don't im a GoldSource & Source level designer and modeller.
You can find some of my work at http://gamebanana.com/members/1223393 and at http://twhl.info/user.php?id=6214&maps

I started making de_havana about a month ago when i realised that no one made a "Havana style" map which was my favourite.Tho my map is much more sunnier than the ones from cs 1.6 and cs:s.

Here are some beta screenshots of it :

Textures still need some work on the buildings and those crates/boxes are gonna be replaced with custom models or become part of a building.

Inspiration also came from Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag.For reference i used AC-IV havana and pictures from real-life havana like :

This is also my first CS:GO map and i'm sorry if i made some spelling errors.English isn't my native language.

Really like it so far! The building in the 5th pic is just pretty great, I think I stood there looking for 2 minutes at the playtest warmpup

Is it just me or has the layout changed a bit since the playtest? I'm talking about the left side on the radar.

Yeah , i changed the left side , before it was just a big ramp where CT's and T's could see each other in about 5sec but this is the 3rd version before this there was another change which was even worse

How do you get such defined shadows? Is it down to lightmap number?

Well currently i didn't use anything below 16 lightmap scale.I'm using the expert compiler with custom compile settings but it's similar to "Full compile -both(ldr and hdr) -final(really important command)"

Well i guess they might think that its the old havana.I'm actually using some textures from cs:s cs_havana and you can read here how low play the map got http://counterstrike.wikia.com/wiki/Havana so i actually went with a little bit of a different theme.Still you might be right but since i'm not well known as the other mappers i guess this actually might help me get my name out there.

Also a remake doesn't have to be the same as the original.

Sure if you guys think it's better to change it but i think someone already took de_cuba?

Anyways in its current state its just called tetra_layout_version.

Started working on the T spawn , the map has been tested today and i was pleased
