[WIP] De_selva

These are some early screenshots from a map currently being developed for the mapcore mapping contest. A lot is subject to change after playtesting. We are currently looking for any kind of feedback.

Screenshots:

CT spawn and the surrounding buildings looking down towards the entrance to CT Warehouse

CT Warehouse from CT spawn

Another angle of CT warehouse, lighting is only temporary.

Early work on the A bombsite

Before I go ahead, give your map a name.

"A NEW UNIQUE DEFUSE MAP FOR 99$" "New defuse map Im working" "super early defuse" is not what gets the interest, and it also floods the section.

You also posted preview screenshots and not overview, so that's the only thing I can judge.

It looks too much like de_log, in my opinion.

Log? I have played it for 5 minutes in deathmatch and I see no similarities. Log also doesn't own exclusive rights to maps based on jungle centralised industries on the continent of south America either.

Just making sure you are heading in the right direction, don't take it as a bad feedback.

Fun fact, I was working on a map with exactly the same name (de_selva) and exactly the same idea back in early 2014, here's some pics for ya. If you want feel free to PM me, I'll send you the VMF so you can use it to improve your own map since I scrapped the idea.

Hidden Content

I may just have to pinch the chicken idea and may I ask where that plane prop is from?

Quote from TheGuma

The plane is a custom model

The collision box for the chicken cage model is not hollow so you have to disable collisions on the prop and add clipping brushes instead. This is so you could place the chicken inside (that is of course if you want to do the chicken in a cage thingy).

Is the model available for download or is it one of your private pieces?

First start on Bombsite A, more to follow.

Awesome map man! Great job I really like the feel of the map, only problem maybe the sound of the chopper being there always for the CT it gets old fast but I really loved the ice floes and the water o . O that was cool, plus the plants and environments are really nice!

Incase others are wondering, the steam workshop link is: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=458203434

THIS LINK NO LONGER WORKS!

Thanks for the feedback.

unfortunatly the ice is going to be replaced to fit the jungle theme and we have very special plans for the chopper in the future.

Map looks nice and clean. I look forward to trying this out.

But come on guys, sort out the OP. Let's have a workshop link and an annotated cl_leveloverview shot (no matter how rough) and a few more screenshots!

I am having issues contacting the map owner. He hasn't been online and he has the latest version of the map. As soon as we can we will have it up.

Huge Update!

A Site is nearing completion with cover ready to be fully tested.

T to A is now planned out.

On the other side of the map, B is now far more like a jungle and the site has been given its first cover.

T to B has had some small changes, again to remove the ice and bring in the jungle.

Workshop link is now also in the thread so why not try it out! Any feedback welcome.

New update coming later today with new site design to allow T's a chance and with less long AWP angles.

I'd avoid putting vegetation in the middle of an area by itself. CSGO tends to play better when foliage is on the fringes of gameplay. If you actually want cover there, but a box down first and then have the plant next to it if you must have it at all.

Vegetation is very easy to overdo (de_orion), and use imporoperly, so be careful.

I have had a look in game and it in no way reduces visibility, you can easily see the player and standing in the middle is fairly dumb anyway. I will look into moving it elsewhere though
