Kinda amazing that they said I have potential. I guess that was true.

Is this you?

If it is then thats quite amazing that you flamed one of my early CS 1.6 maps

Alright I just played through it and heres what I found:

It looks amazing, no doubt about that. The fps takes a beating as it doesnt look like youre done optimizing, as this shot shows

Lots of models dont have collisions, some which probably should have collisions, but im sure you know this already. Its actually quite a small map, which might be good as alot of people were fearing that it would be huge and not good for only a few players. The biggest complaint right now is FPS. Im sure you can get that fixed, though.

Awesome. Just awesome.

By the way, make sure to bspzip the final version, as admins wont bother spending an hour to upload all the custom content individually.

The glass in one of the shots is pure white for some strange reason, and everything seems to get super-reflective no matter if I change the vmt or not. Also its a bit too bright on the inside and out, so im fixing that now.

Been a while, so heres a bit of an update:

Besides the HDR bugs, this has been done for so long I wish I could just release the damn things

Nope, aint out yet (feb).

The reason the bottles arent modelled is because I need all the FPS I can get at this point. The map is optimized the best I could get it, but theres just alot of detail.

Models would cause a noticible frame drop.

Dont worry, its not bad, as none of the playtesters complained.

Check out http://www.alexroyce.com/cs_cabaret.htm for more info.

This thing is amazing so far. Amazing. Everyone needs to try it out.

Heh thanks.

Some news:

So the site got updated, and theres some big improvements. Most notibly, the speed of the site has drastically increased as filesizes have been cut down quite alot. Theres a new screenshot of Cabaret up, so you can check that out if youre interested. The map is coming closer and closer to completion, so it might be out by next week if im lucky.

If you couldent see that coming then you need a smack to the back of the head..

Yeah, probably. When ive got nothing better to do I guess ill do that.

Theres room for a whole-nother row of maps under the current CS:S maps ive got up there. I thought ahead

Yeah.. wasnt made by me because I have no idea how to do anything, but it does its job.

Finally got myself a website for all my Source releases, so im hoping to popularize it and get the word out. All of my best maps are up there, so its worth a look if you havent heard of me yet as im sure youll be interested in some of them. Theres also a Misc section in which theres a ton of videos I created for games (including HL2), along with older maps I created.

CS_Cabaret should be coming along any time now, aswell

Still some bugs and changes to work out, but theyll be done soon.

Yeah, I will, but the more servers the map is on, the better. Though theres going to be a server dedicated to the map most likely.

Yeah but the problem is the kids who own servers and dont know anything about .bz2 files and let peopel download the completely unzipped version of the map.. It takes way too long.

Im trying to keep it ~40mb with everything in, but it looks like itll hit ~50mb.

The current version is 51mb, but when its zipped its less than 17mb. If only more people used .bz2... All the custom stuff really adds up. The strippers alone will be around 4-5mb.

I tried getting rid of the outlines before, but it causes really jagged edges ( http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/5449 ... 0041la.jpg ), so the black line had to stay in order to keep the smoothness. Really isnt noticable unless you stop and stare at it.

On another note, the strippers are getting better and better each day thanks to Caleb, and once theyre done, the map should be ready to release.

*Remembers how fun D2+Expansion was* I feel like playing D2 all over again

Oh god.. the game that stole a year of my life and tons of my money is back
