Workshop

Any screenshots?

Updated OP

Hi everyone. Sorry I couldn't make it to the last playtest. I've gone through the demo a couple times and hopefully fixed some of the jarring problems the map had.

Here's both layouts for comparison

[Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/xDJGWro.jpg][Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/BbyvMzE.png]

Summary of changes:

• Moved A towards mid and T considerably.
• Added another retake entry to B
• Shortened mid considerably, rifles are totally viable for holding mid now.
• Shortened most sightlines.
• Added some cover on B

I know you guys don't like greyboxes on playtests, should I detail a bit before going for another one?

Quote from Vaya

I don't think anyone minds greyboxes. It's mainly what we test.

Looks like you've snaked a lot of routes, is this to fix sightlines?

Some of them yes, the one in "top mid" is just a staircase.

So I've decided to redo B entirely.

Any thoughts on the new B ?

I changed up A a lot too. I removed the heaven entry and simplified A long.

This is probably the only non standard thing left:

There is but it's a few months old. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=632996405

edit: updated now but haven't changed the radar. I'll make a few more tweaks before going for a playtest.

Alright here's the new layout.

New, as mentioned in above posts:

B completely redone

A long entry simplified

tweaks all over...

I think maybe there's not enough mid control for CTs, maybe I'll add some kind of window. I'll see after the playtest.

Wow thanks, that's some feedback.

I've actually fixed some of the problems you listed straight after the playtest including b entry and (5) sightline. Interestingly I also extended CT spawn exactly like you posted. Moved T spawn back too, to widen the timings a bit.

I was about to dig into mid and make it more traditional but I think I'll keep it like this for now. Maybe I'll add some kind of overpass toilets thing to make the area more interesting.

Been mapping a bit lately. Don't have any pretty compile pics because I haven't decided on time of day yet, might go for night. Here's some wip:

Some scenery outside B site

Mid:

And here's a crazy new idea for B

[Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/7UIbA9h.jpg]

There's a ladder going down into a mineshaft which comes out into a ramp leading to B site. The ramp is quite deep and the headpeeks might be a bit much tho.

Scheduled the playtest on sunday.

Compiled it from old placeholder light_env and sky so they don't even match, and the light is a bit on the dark side. It should do for a playtest tho.

Update

I've been using subdivide a lot for this map, it's magic.

I got T spawn done, and part of CT.

(circled: visibility problems) I know people complained about visibility a lot on the playtests- I did try to address this but not too sure how successful it was.

Added a lamp at A long[Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/MXXScLM.png]

Brighter/cleaner textures at mid

I'm still using the optimization disaster stone wall But I did recolor the stonepath decal to match it.

I've changed up B too. The mineshaft was really annoying to play. Mid is unchanged and Ts can still get to B from mid unchallenged.

This was originally going to be a desert cowboy town but then turned more into a northern mining town. So maybe a name change wouldn't hurt, something like de_goldfield ? Sanchez is pretty cachy tho might just keep that even tho it's not mexican/southern at all.
