I really like the first two images. The buildings look a lot more like living spaces since they are a bit more standalone with foliage and rocks around, and much less of the temple style in other images.

Sorry for such a late reply, been away for a bit.
Got some valuable feedback from the test on Wed, in the next version I will tweak the timing some more. On such a small map its quite hard to get the timings right so the testing really helped.
Quote from PuddyThis is in no ways a traditional counter strike defusal map. It plays more like a demolition map (smaller, faster engagement times, more interconnected routes etc). If this is a problem, then you should probably do something about it. But the map itself is fun as it is and if you're not concerned about following tradition then it's all good!
The intention is to not be very traditional, just a small map somewhat similar to demolition but allows for most of the tactics from a proper de_map that cs players are used to. And something that can be fully enjoyed with quite low numbers without having to switch to an fy_map or something similar.
Also in the next build I will close off some of the windows and make it a little bit more predictable where players will appear from.
Will try and get a new build ready as soon as possible.

Thanks for the comment guys.
Squad. Currently everything is placeholder, What you see is 2 weeks of work since I got the layout down, that includes the lighting. Initially I was going in the direction of the image you posted, but it was too much like one of those maps that might look good in screens, but no one would play because it is either too gloomy, or too dark. So I have been trying with every compile to find a nice balance between friendliness and atmosphere where the lights and lanterns can show through.
and the rail thing will eventually look something like this.

Will take some time to model it so I want to make sure I have the final dimensions/scale before getting to work on it.
RaVaGe. Doing a US version of Chinatown means I can use a lot of the stock content to get results like in the images below. Setting it in China would mean so much more custom content, making the download size massive, and turning it into a year long project.

blackdog. I didn't think of the lanterns in that way, only added them to add shadow over the bare road, but that's a good idea

Hello all
Seeing all these awesome CSGO maps coming out of Mapcore inspired me to start my own one, so here i am with a Chinatown themed map. Originally it was going to be set in China, but that would probably have meant near 100% custom assets, so I decided on making it a Chinatown in an American city.
Its a small, aggressive DE map designed specifically for the smaller player amounts in CSGO. But I will also prepare a Demolition version of the map.
Still a lot of work to do as the map is only at its first pass stage. Feedback is appreciated, or ideas for the type of things that could be added to help the theme.

I had an issue like this recently. The cause was because the player model was taking lighting from a face that was underneath the displacements. Was fixed by lowering the brushes all the way down to the no draw material underneath.

Quote from Erratic
but I think I recall someone on the INS team doing this
It was me. I couldn't get it to work properly using the $basetexturetransform command. It almost seemed like it would randomly decide if it wanted to work or not. I managed to get some to work but not others and didn't really spend the time trying to figure out what was wrong, so i just resized my textures instead.
