Yes. The selection of the 10 maps was made by Cevo (and gamebanana) and the community voted. Allowing the community to vote is a mistake from my opinion...

There was a cheater that created fake accounts to vote for himself or something like that, fortunately this got fixed but quite lately and it must have altered the results (because people were able to see the current results before voting, which is another big mistake).

Good

It's a great sign if they take few weeks to pick their Top 5, it means they really take a deep look into maps. It's even possible that they're writting something for all the maps, showing what could have been done better, what's next to improve ...

It reminds me of that CEVO-Gamebanana contest almost 4 years ago, they took 2 days to pick a Top 10 from something like 86 entries (for competitive leves, not aim maps or something small). This contest was such a mess that @FMPONE left during the final votes and refused the price he received with Gwalior. And he got only second place ! This map was better apparently ...

So i believe they'll do better for this contest, there are really great maps in competition !

Good luck guys!!

PS : It was mostly CEVO's fault, not gamebanana

leplubodeslapin · The random model thread! leplubodeslapin January 10, 2017 at 12:22 PM

I guess he downloaded a .blend (blender files) of a finished model and he wants to use it.

You can extract the texture from the UV Editing window :

Find in the images being used in your .blend the one you want to extract in this list :

And then save it :

But make sure you have the rights to do this and don't forget to mention the creator of the asset.

Yep, the colors reminds me a lot of this place in Life is Strange :

Maybe you could get some ideas from it, like the idea of using purple as a tint sometimes, it looks great i think !

Great job @OrnateBaboon !!

30 minutes ago, Squad said: You're right. I gave that a shot as well, but forgot to mention it. Is 0.25 the thinnest you can do without crashing the compiler?

Probably not but i know it works and it should reduce drasticaly the loss already

Did it work ?

leplubodeslapin

Maybe you could try to make the noclip wall even thinner than 1 unit.

For that, select your brush, press CTRL + M, change the Scale and put 0.25 in the appropriate direction (the direction of the thickness) and 1 to the two other axes. Your wall should then be 0.25 unit thick, and since bullet penetration is calculated with continuous mathematical functions, it should reduce the loss.

leplubodeslapin · Goals for 2017? leplubodeslapin December 30, 2016 at 1:11 AM

Well 2016 has been pretty good already :

I finished a great internship, designing an innovative drone with a quite complex mechanical system. That was fun and i learned a lot, i hope it wouldn't be confidential so i could show it to you
I've been hired right after the internship and quickly gained responsibility, became the project manager of one of our project and lead the project to promising results
Gained a lot of expenrience while managing people, following their work and guiding them through their studies
I met an awesome brazilian girl, we're together for 6 months now, we even moved together quite recently
I changed from a small 1 bedroom apartement to a decent one (with seperate bedroom, kitchen, living room, 2 toilets ... )
Upgraded my PC with a GTX 1070
Finally managed to put some time in map making in the end of the year
Lost 10 Kg
And i survived from many bike falls ! \o/ (one being a traumatic brain injury without a loss of consciousness, scary :s )

The only big issue is that cs_opera didn't have much progress this year.

For 2017, my goal would be to keep going like this, trying to be happy as much as i can finally be and...

Finish my current short project (this)
Work as much as possible on cs_opera, seriously
Quit my engineer job for a while and try to work in the game industry (more like in the end of 2017)
Learn some portuguese and visit brazil

The texturing seems fine, but maybe you should try to modify the lighting a bit.

Currently, if you boost the lighting contrats with an image editing software, you get that :

The eyes usually go for the brightest spots in a picture, and the ceiling doesn't seem to be the most interesting part of your room (neither for gameplay nor detailing).

If you're only using lights, try using light_spots to do the main lighting. You can use lights as ambient lights (put linear to 1 and quadratic to 0, and low brightness with a color that matchs the atmosphere you want to get, probably something a little bit green i guess).

Maybe you planed to work on the lighting later but this can help you chose one texture or another, it can be useful to make few quick lighting tests.

It's for a proper map. Well ... kind of ...

There's a guy who contacted me for modifying an existing map in order to create a gamemode for CSGO (with zombies and survival stuff in an open map). The original map is from a russian girl who basically tries to recreate S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe in csgo, i believe.

Here is the original map : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=630942745

And the guy made a topic for his request :

The original creator is aware of this and aprove this project. I found in it a way of having fun to create small post-apo stuff, without the constaint of making a huge complicated map.

So first of all, i re-worked the original map settings to fit better to the theme requested (with fog being used for optimisation by the way) :

The base 2 is almost the same stuff but the integration is different :

And recently i worked on the Spawn + market place, which is a weird underground area :

It's a weird project, i might be wasting my time on something that could never see the light of the day ... meh ... i'm just trying to get back to making maps and enjoying it.

I'm so sad i don't have time

@Oliver

It's a huge project for me, got roughly the same idea and it's also a hostage map. I haven't stopped this project, i just don't have time to work on this currently ...

10 hours ago, text_fish said: I would also argue that it's pretty game breaking to have a model with such terrible collisions (the shiny fountain thing) slap bang in the middle of a bombsite. If the player can't trust that their bullets aren't going to ping off an invisible wall, what's the point in playing? IIt shouldn't be difficult or expensive to make collisions for a model like that, and then you could slap a playerclip over the top if you don't want people climbing all over it.

They did it properly, it's just an angular offset between the model and phys model

Good job on the release of the map, it looks great ! Really awesome
