    Quote from blackdog

    Btw we should just quit the computer at a certain time, sometime i can feel sleepy, get to the computer and i'm back in the land of the living.


    This is so true. Computer keeps my brain awake. When I try to go to bed 2 hours early, I end up doing shit on my smartphone... I need to get rid of my phone like I did get rid of my bedroom television. Ahh! Technology

  • GTA V

    imo it would make sense for Rockstar to announce Pc version along with the Xbox One and Ps4 versions 1-2 months after the Xbox 360/Ps3 launch. then add 3 months to that.. so thats 5 months D: I hope I'm wrong haha I don't wanna buy it on current gen

  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    Setin, I could be wrong, but it looks like your map has a LOT of routes. Also, it looks quite hard for ct's to rotate between bombsites. THey have to go back to ct spawn or push and take the Terrorist route.


    I admire the attention to detail you put into your layout though! I need to do that for my next project...


    mine always end up looking like a 5 years old drawing....

    Another thing i noticed is that Ts are still having a hard time on mid. Its is hard to defend when a few cts are pushing there.

    I was probably one of the agressive ct player in the playtest. I had fear that CT were too strong( the thread in interlopers.net ) I'm not quite sure if the changes made solved that problem. SO I kept pushing mid, throwing flashbangs from bombsite A into the lower portion of Middle, jumping down, backstabbing long A, and even once behind terro by going to the terro spawn. It felt to me like CTs were getting in the jump mid zone a bit too fast. you can also peak all the way to the end of mid where Ts were Battling for the cellar. (they end up getting sandwiched most of the time if ct were agressive mid.)

    Here is my suggestion:


    Something along those lines maybe. Have one of the paths connect with the tunnel portion at the very beginning of bombsite A (could give terrorists a flanking option to Bombsite B) Or option 2 would be the blue lines the path could lead where you just blocked off with a gate. Either way, this would stop ct domination in middle I think.


    The other path could be inside the buildings, so you couldnt just throw flashbangs up in the air before retaking bombsite B. I think the path could be a little longer than what i drawn

    they are just ideas!

  • DOTA 2

    Map awareness is key to success in dota. Sure Wards are VERY helpful, but you need to "try" to keep track of your closest enemies (your lane) as well as the 2 other lanes. I pretty much move around the map not looking at my hero, but AHEAD of where I'm going, while looking at the mini-map. why? because you can spot enemy color in the map quickly, even if they are only seen for 0.5 sec. Always look at your mini-map ALWAYS!

    Rune spawns at 2 minute interval 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. Make sure you know what you're doing if you are close to a rune spot in that timeframe.

    Learn to pull neutral creeps into your friendly wave of creeps.

    Learn to stack neutral creeps. ( doubling, tripling the amount of neutral creep to increase farming if you have enough nukes or a carry to support )

    Like Sentura mentioned, learning the map and it's hidden foggy paths will save you numerous times, and if you die, you will have gained maybe that 3-4-5-6 seconds necessary for backup to arrive and make 2 kills for 1 death.

    Communicate with your teammates, ping in the map, draw lines, say predetermined messages with the radial menu (not sure but I think it's T or Y by default)

    One last thing, try to buy your items as soon as you got the money, if you know you're going to die 100% and you have only 200 gold in your bags, try to buy Teleports (probably the most important item in the game as you get matched with better players) ALways try to carry a Teleport if you are doing your things in the jungle, farming in a distant lane or even when you are pushing in case shit hits the fan and you gotta run(little juke and hop double tap teleport to tp back to base) ---> Enable Double tap self activating key in the options. Works with potions, tp, and few select skills.

  • DOTA 2

    I can't get over the terrible UI. The picking phase is a disaster compared to HoN. Hero names don't show up when hovering on enemies, when your enemies pick their heroes or your ally ( unless they random their hero, THEN it is shown in the chat... how dumb is that?) If you use the grid view to show all heroes, the top row name expand outside the screen ( cant see the damn hero name AGAIN). Creep kill/deny in bottom right corner with a font of 2 pixel.

    I have played over 2000 games of dota wc3 and then I switched to HoN. At first, I thought HoN was too fast but you soon realize how "fluid and reactive" the movements are compared to Dota 1 & 2. I don't want to start a debate about which moba is better but if only Valve could fix all the annoying issues of the UI, maybe I would stop raging! (should have been fixed day 2 of beta in 2011 in my opinion)

    I think you need to make a better clipping pass in the map.

    With the addition of the new barrels in the corner next to the Long A entrance, it is possible ( in competitive match) to boost on them, and then jump on the little balcony above Long A entrance, and a another window very close to the Barrels. (imo, keep the boosting possible but make sure we can't see outside of the map, and fix the clipping)

    I also found out you can access the a side area in Long A (terrasse). Railings have no collision if it is intended that way though.

    1 other thing to fix with the addition of the new bombsite B fence is that you can plant on top of the fence, and on the other side of it( the wall where you added a wood plank)

    Hanging lamp in bombsite A swings a LOT when shot at, maybe increase the physics value on it so it eventually come to a stop.

    some screenshot that show what i'm talking about.

    Need clipping on some of the roofs (3 man boost could gain access to places you wouldnt want them to)

  • [CS:GO] de_BlackGold (oilrush)

    You should add a crane to justify the use of cargo containers because it might look silly without it. Maybe find something else to replace with? I doubt the little lifts can move the containers all around the platform either. What are their purpose? I like the color aspect of them though!

    edit: the pyramid shape block is the crane?

  • MapCore CS:GO Playtesting 3.0

    How does it work to get a map tested? Do I have to submit it to workshop? Need radar?

    I'm available to playtest when others are willing to, like holiestcows. So if we test oilrush tomorrow, we can test my map as well, if it's wednesday, it's fine with me!

    Quote from FMPONE

    the "eyeball" buttons, to hide objects. I seriously recommend exploring the various ways these are useful, they really open up the tools substantially.

    I'm not sure what you mean by eyeball?

    these?

    Quickhide objects (H)

    Quickhide unselected (Ctrl+H) this one I just figured it out... it's amazing. Basically Isolation mode like in 3Ds max

    Quickunhide everything (U)

    I also really like Ctrl+F to split a face in 2 vertice (must be in Vertex tool to work)

    same with Alt+E when using vertex tool ( this one allows to scale selected vertices )

    In the 2D viewport configuration:

    Arrow keys nudge selected object/vertex. This one is my new must have. you can quickly move your selected objects While ensuring they stay on grid. It also works in the camera view!

    Reorient primitives on creation in the active 2D view: This one is great as well when you make primitives such as curved roads and cylinders, torus.

    Ctrl+G to group

    Ctrol+U to ungroup

    Creating user visgroups..

    Ok last thing I find very very useful is pressing O (letter O) while clipping tool is activated. This show all the mesurements of your cuts before you press enter.
