    Here tomm, take some motivation

    My name is Sylvain, like others over here (Kikette, 3Dnj, Moroes, TheOnlyDoubleF, Kane ...) i'm french. I've been creating maps for about 7 - 8 years and my submitted maps are only for Counter-Strike (for now, i'd like to work on a singleplayer level later). There are a lot of professionals here but i'm not one of them, in fact i'm an engineering student, in mechanical design (on my fifth year, it's the last year of this kind of studies in france). These are hard and annoying studies, and i really love level design so... yes most of the time i ask myself why i haven't made 3D studies, but yes maybe later i'll give it a try (not the studies but the work itself, as a self-educated if it's possible ...).


    I've joined mapcore a year ago, but i don't really post lots of messages (because i'm not really fluent in english), but i read everyday your posts. I think it was Fmpone who have shown me mapcore (i made for him videos of his csgo maps : museum, gwalior, cache and crown ; and because i created the remake of fy_pool_day, which is the most downloaded map from the workshop).


    I'm still working on cs_opera (maybe some of you remember the playtest i made 8 months ago), i'm not working alone on it and it's definitely going to be my best map so far. I hope i will be able to release it before Source 2 is released (or, if it's released on CS:GO, that we will be able to port our maps on the new engine and sdk ^^).


    I think i've said enough, but if you have any question don't hesitate to ask me

  • What's Next

    Come on guys, Puddy is developping this game, it must be great ! And there is still a lot to do about the atmosphere of zombie games, and The Walking Dead TV Series is doing a great job on this particular point for example.

    I will give it a try of course

    Yes of course, there isn't any "Brush" anymore, if you want you can do only planes to draw your walls, floors and every details you want to add in your scene. It IS a full modeling software.

    Actually, you can even modify any already existing prop from the game, i only know how to change its scale but i guess you can do more. Here is an example :

    It's the same Dota 2 model, used 3 times, on which i changed its scale allong 2 different axes.

  • DOTA 2

    Hehe it's still pretty nice to see a real-time rendering in Hammer itself


    I just also wanted to show you a very intersting stuff, you should check out the file lights.fgd in the SteamAppscommondota 2 betadota_ugcgamecore folder. You can see things such as :

  • DOTA 2

    I need to know :1. Is this really a port of Dota 2 from Source 1 to Source 2 (with the exact same graphics and gameplay)2. Would such a thing be possible for CS:GO Seriously guys i'm too much excited, this is awesome

  • CS:GO SDK - Reflective Textures/Brushes

    Quote from El_Exodus

    Yeah, but everthing i tried, didn't work as i wanted to. Can you teach me how to do it right?


    Alright so your problem is just because of the texture. You can find the one from HL2 here :

    SteamAppscommonHalf-Life 2hl2

    Open with GCFScape hl2_textures_dir.vpk


    In the glass folder, you should be able to find the textures you need ("reflectiveglass002" & "...003"). I made one from those HL2 textures with this VMT :

    miroir.vtf is a copy/paste from reflectiveglass003.vtf

    miroir_normal.vtf is a copy/paste from reflectiveglass003_normal.vtf


    I simply modified the default refract values and few things to get a flat render, a clean mirror. I don't really know much more about this kind of texture, you should try to change some values on this vmt to see how it works.


    Tell me if you need any more help

    (the map with the mirror i made : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=262196646 )

  • [Portal 2] Repercussions WIP

    This is really great, like most of the people who played it, i loved Portal 2. It seems that you are doing a game with the same vibe and environment that Portal 2, and you're doing it great.Do you have an idea of when this is going to be released ?I also love the musics, especialy "Metamorphosis", it could be an epic music for an epic introduction that everyone would remember !

    Quote from holiestcows

    more and more people are growing fund of it and enjoy playing it for its unique style and design.


    Quote from holiestcows

    his favorite map, due to its unique layout


    Quote from holiestcows

    with the abundance of vertical combat was something new and unique to CS


    What did i just read ???


    Quote from holiestcows

    If I wanted to make a typical CS map and have a similar art style and have it use the typical figure eight design


    But ... That's exactly what you made ! oO (the figure of 8 layout)


    I don't know, i mean... I like your map guys, it's outstanding, the graphics are amazing and your assets are awesome. But please don't tell us that your layout is so unique and that you have worked so much on it. You don't need to be a pro level designer to understand that your layout started from a flat square and you have put containers and square buildings on it to start it up. It's classic and there isn't that much verticality in your gameplay (just catwalks and few things).


    I don't think it's that difficult to understand the layout, people will get it and will like it, for sure. The main thing that tr0nic is pointing at are the noisy things everywhere, it's not just about the textures but the way you have put things in the map (will small gaps and details that can ruin the visibility).


    Also you can easily find many overlaps of models/textures, and this kind of thing annoy me a lot :

    Lots of things are flying in the air.


    Quote from holiestcows

    Who knows, maybe Overgrown becomes a classic and is added into the game officially.


    ???? Wtf, you really can't know the game and its community, sorry but it's so far from truth i don't even know how you can say something like that.


    Anyway, the maps are great really, good job. And yes fmpone, we all know what it is to work on a map for real, you don't have to say how bad we are because we don't reach the "the highest level" ... seriously man wtf, it's really not nice, I hope that I do not understand right

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

    My question is : where is marquis ? Best csgo custom map in my opinion, better than few maps taken both with gameplay and aesthetic. Paris was an issue maybe ? It's really strange :(

    The same for Catfood's maps, this guy is providing an awesome work like with Reef ( <3 ) or Crossfire and never had the change to get in any operation. I really don't understand, and there was 2 spots available (only 6 maps, it used to be 8 every time).


    If anyone can clarify about all this, that'd be great


    Still good job with the map taken, they all have amazing graphics ! (even if the level design could be much better with few of them).
