[Edit: Workshop version with new radar online! Ready for playtesting! New pictures in the workshop. Check out http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=932651001]
Ladies and Gentlemen,
what a perfect moment to finally post the first pictures of my map de_barrio!
First some important things:
- "de_barrio" is a wip-name and not final nor neccesarily the theme.
- This is my first map, but i already spent a lot of time on it. Actually this is my first Post on Mapcore or even csmapmakers in general. So hello, nice to meet you! I'm Kobinsubim aka Mars from Germany
- Although you will see some Textures and (surely misplaced) Props: This map is at an advanced Greybox-stage in the creation process!! A lot of things are still missing such as: Optimisation (hint and area portals), Cubemaps, Radar Update (edit: done), and so on. I added some textures for several reasons:
- My mates didnt want to stare at orange, white, and grey everywhere because:
- I was no experienced map creator when i started and the Greybox looked like shit. It would still do so because the brush-geometry is not very detailed, in fact a clear theme is missing yet and i was just experimenting and focusing on gameplay and layout, as well as learing the software .
- Places get recognizable more easy and i can already checkout some textures and get ideas for places.
- I tested my map solo a lot, watched tutorials and reworked kinda everything at least once already, focusing on timing, angles and gameplay. Now regarding the layout, im pretty confident it would work and would be fun. BUT: I only did 2 5v5 playtests with mates, and a lot of tiny 1v1s or 2v2s with some of my best mates for certain areas. I Recieved a lot of positive feedback which makes me wanna finish this map. The map was never published on the workshop or any public website before. This was the next step anyway perfect timing for the contest I will try to playtest the hell out of my level in the next weeks to make people come up with all the tiny brilliant layout changes i would not have seen coming. Afterwards i will try to make realistic structural elemtents to create the scenary.
- tl/dr: Textured Greybox (dafuq)! Layout Playtesting! No Feedback on theme necessary, far from final
- Also i am (kinda) looking for a experienced and motivated teammate, who enjoys the layout a lot and wants to help me with all the details, because im slow af sometimes in hammer, since its my first map. I Have no experience with custom textures and custom props for hammer.
Overview with Middle (T's start a bit further to the right than shown)
Overview Underground
Its a pretty standard 3 lane Layout but with a multilevel element: Middle is overlapping with T's "Underground" route to B.
The 3 Chokepoints are Middle, Underground at the little Stair, and the Door at A.
