[WIP]: [CS:S] de_shrooms (not psycadelic) **update**

ah when I clicked this thread I was expecting to see some psychedelic map filled with mushrooms and acid

Not much to comment on though. Maybe if you get proper textured and lit ingame screenies...

vote against school maps!

btw: if you post stuff maybe you should make sure, that it is worth to show. this is far from "showable". there are no textures, all is hammer brushed, no lighting. there is even no sense. schoolmaps suck in gameplay. they always did. how do you imagine a good gameflow in a map with so many rooms? btw: your polycounts of the map will explode. crappy visblocking too.

dont waste another day on this map and start a real project like de_INSERT_COUNTRY_NAME

sorry for that, but seriously, i have to express a big : ROFL

while you're free to make a school map, it's just really poor taste. regardlress of how successful/unsuccessful your map is, it just takes one idiot like Jack Thompson sniffing it out and distorting it against the industry.

Just a warning. You've got a nice looking layout, so just make it an office building or something instead.

Nothing wrong with the theme imo. The map is not yet ready to be commented on tho.

damn, thats one fucking good idea for map.. /me steals (im good artist )

Even if you use the dev textures properly and show some on floor shots of the building detailed.

schools are a heated topic for levels, especially violent based ones. And you dont find a school often that would be suitable for a good counterstrike level in terms of flow and gameplay anyways. I'd suggest making something else, just my two cents.

Schools, offices, arab villages, mosques or grocery stores, its as heated as you make it.

putting little kids in the mix is more fun

Who cares if he is making a school. Let the wimpy people in the world complain and flame and bitch!!

Depending on the school, but the majority of the one I went to if they were built for gameplay they would be so much fun and flow perfectly with all the ways in and out of the building they had. A good shoot out in the gym, you can't beat that!!

nothing much too see.

From what I can see I have to say I like the layout! It looks fun yet, with enough landmarks very manouvreable (< is that a word?). As for the 'school theme': I say; stick with it. I like the idea and the fact that its a heated topic shouldn't change anything. Not to start an offtopic discussion but I'd say that it's rather hypocrit to say it's disrespectful to make a school themed map. I mean, we're talking cs here man! For crying out loud... Plus the fact youre just a amature leveldesigner, not a big developementstudio.

Hot Coffee?

But regardless a school isn't a big deal, as long as you don't include any students to shoot. Any game, mod, map or whatever allowing you to off children is completely crossing the line.

my high school where I went to would be a great cs map. It was open campus (outside), many catwalks, upper and lower tiers, opened etc etc. They build it in the freakin desert for god sakes.

Making maps of schools is a bad idea, regardless of weather or not you include anyone to shoot.

I was nearly arrested for making one.
