De_Quarry [WIP]

Hi everyone,

This is my map Quarry. As you can tell its in a very early state. I have been making changes and updates thanks to the feedback from some other people. I am uncertain about some parts of my map for instance the layout is rather square and could use some more interesting elements to it. The skybox is Dust 2 because I have had to change map files a few times to get the spawns working.

You may be wondering why Terrorists are attacking and destroying a quarry?

Spoiler Terrorists worked with a team to steal money from a bank. The people that they work with betrayed the terrorists not giving them money. The money that the team got is then being used to buy a quarry to recycle the money. Therefore the terrorists are showing they are not happy with what the team have done so they are trying to get it back.

Thanks for reading! An early version is currently on the workshop, I have not packed the textures but they do not impact the current version.

I am currently re-naming the map, my first ideas are "Concave" which is another term for quarry.

Quote from Squad

Just now, Squad said: Just want to let you know that de_quarry is also an old map that was supposed to be released with CS:CZ, but didn't make it and was released as a custom map afterwards. It might confuse people if you'd go with the same name.

I am re-considering the name, I will look at real names of Quarrys soon or other names it can be. Thanks for letting me know!

Yeah I have all my settings for compile on fast and no Vis because it took far too long to compile when on the highest.

The vehicles where in the latest update, the cement compound I think

Some changes:

Some custom rock models should be soon, Terri offered to make them

An overview of the map, some of the entrances are covered up (Mid to B site)

Anyways nice map and good luck !

I belive that one is a custom one, I don't think I packed it properly, Anyways thanks for the feedback! Also I was missing a clip brush from CT spawn, that was a mistake

Some new screenshots

New screenshots

I've mostly been trying to make dull areas more interesting with some new background scenery plus some close up things.

I've also been making the walls of the map higher so it almost represents a real quarry

I seem to notice you've created some polygonal windows? They look a bit weird, as well the tunnel stands out even in the bird eye shot because is improperly shaped

The tunnel is only a place holder for now. I am going to model a tunnel for a future version. I know that the windows look somewhat weird, this is most likely because I made them from brushes, I will remake these also. Thanks for the feedback!

Latest screenshots: VIS is off for these ones.

Mid is currently the only bit still in greybox inside the map!

Some rooms looked to dark so here is an SDK one:

Currently I am trying remove all of the off grid brushes from my map, I think that is what is causing the problem, I will post those screenshots as soon as possible! Also I might need some suggestions for detailing because all of it looks way to similar together.

Update!

After I realised I had been a complete idiot, my map has returned! Some new screenshots with some early detailing going on. More things soon to be added to certain areas if they look empty.

Thanks for looking, if it hasn't burned your eyes yet.

Weird lighting glitch and the fog broke, makes a nice smog effect, maybe I should add smoke out of the tower to complete the deal

And yes I do know that the clouds are too high. Also I will switch my skybox to a dusk/nighttime one so it fits the lighting a bit more, and maybe the visibility can be better also.
