Im neither upset about it nor do I care about my maps being here. I trying to figure out how something like de_corse can get spotlight, but then this map could also get it right afterwards (it even seems like a bit of an insult to Hessi). I would think that instead of just adding good maps, youd be showcasing the best maps and continuously try raising the bar.

This map is good and all, but its not outstanding.

Sheesh.

PS: I really dont even like my stripclub map anymore because of the company whos basically screwed me over when making it, and personally id rather see the damn thing die just to spite that company.

Oh and stop trying to turn this on me, as this is just my opinion and has nothing to do with my work.

I guess its just the notion that I cant see an awp/fy/ka/aim/surf map making spotlight. If everyone else thinks its worth spotlight, then let it be. Its just that if you compair something like de_corse or dod_salerno to this, you see a noticable difference in quality.

If the reviewers say its good, I might get it. Otherwise ill just stick with my old copy of SiN

Oh, I forgot to mention, you are arrogant... and an asshole.

:roll:

But about this not being in the spotlight, its well done, but it doesnt really excel at anything special. It doesnt seem like the thing for people to go "Wow!" at.

Looks like they forgot me

no.

...grass is yellow in fall.

Seriously, the grass doesn't change color! There are yellow and brown leafs lying on it, there's brown mud and stuff, but no: grass doesn't turn yellow in fall... Grass changes color in summer though: light green to yellow.

ontopic:

I think the dark hill in the background rock! It adds to the athmosphere

Well alright, but he's going to at least need to add tons of leaves on the ground.

I guess I was thinking winter when I thought of yellow grass.

no.

...grass is yellow in fall.

But then the grass should be brown/yellow if its fall.

Make the tree leaves green!

Freakin' awesome.

No offense but this doesnt seem like spotlight work

We need to get a server with the map. I really wanna try it with people!

I can host, but who would join?

Very nice, although Im not expecially fond of the HDR. Dont expect to see this on any servers though

Edit: Just put up my review of the map here if you want to check it out:

Holy crap a whole year you worked on it?

Great atmosphere on the outside, but the inside seems a bit empty but great work nonetheless. Might want to lessen the skybox fog on the outside so the trees arent so white.

The skybox looks way too bright for the outside lighting, too. The clouds are probably why its so bright looking.

Damn my lack of professional experiance.

It really is a total pain in the ass to get, as I know its stopped me from getting jobs..

The police car was made by Zareh for me back when I was doing CrookCounty. Its a useful model so I used it again.

And yes the strippers are hostages, so they serve some purpose.

BZ2 Download (Server Admins):

http://%7boption%7d

Installation:

-Follow the instructions in the ReadMe.txt and youll be fine.

Known Issues:

-Because of a bspzip problem (wav's dont bspzip properly), the custom sounds for the map must be installed manually in order to work. Just install the folders according to the readme.

-If you want to run this map on your server and have clients download it, you need to download the .bz2 file. Put the entire .bz2 (dont extract anything) into the cstrike/maps folder on the server. Clients will download a compressed version of the map instead of the full .bsp file. Its even faster if you have an http redirect linking to it. The .bz2 is neccessary if you want clients to download the map off the server.

-Players who download this map off a server will most likely be missing the custom sounds.

-Using bloom instead of HDR might cause the map to look really bright.

Have fun!

Looks pretty good Hipshot, but just like others said, Q3 is pretty dated and ugly. Get back to Source

It's so... smooth.

Just turned down the lightmapscale. Its a simple way of adding lots of interesting detail to an otherwise bland area.
