    DE_Overgrown


    the performance definitely got better since the last time, my fps weren't too low.

    I definitely like the changes you made, enjoyed playing it alot more this time.


    But:

    • Rotating from B to A is kinda hard, the old mid to B path would be great, but please make it more wide.
    • Retaking the Bombsites is rather hard in general since the entry points are leaving you very vulnerable, especially the B site, since there are no good ways to flash/smoke your way in, as far as I can tell. Maybe make the windows in the roof/ at the top of the walls breakable?
    • The lower path from CT spawn to A is also really tough, being exposed to three different heights and a bazillion positions, it's like getting [CENSORED].


    Either way, I think it's a nice map already and I am also convinced that it has great chances of entering the next operation.

    The map improved quite a bit since the last time, but there was a strong problem showing, the terrorists were simply pushing the rescue zone and camping for the CT's to return with the hostage. You could solve it by adding an additional rescuezone. Otherwise I do not have much to add to the others.

    I have tested out the sew option to try to sew it tighter, but that did'nt do it, is the sew option the way to go?


    yes it is, if it doesnt work it means the grids of the displacements aren't aligning properly/ aren't the same size, try to cut them up a little to get uniform grids.

    The map played pretty T sided at the last playtest and it might be due to the high number of routes the terrorists can take once the mid is in their hands. With a total of 6 paths it's impossible for the remaining CTs to hold the bombsites. Even though the bombsite B narrows its chokepoints down to two paths, it's definitely too late for the CTs to react in time, if terrorists start to breach. The only viable option for CTs here is to stack on one bombsite or even rush one route and then to retake the the site where the bomb is planted, but thats not how a de_ map should be imo.


    I would suggest:

    - remove path 4 for the Terrorists as an option.

    - make the ramps at 1 and 2 not so brutal

    - middle feels pretty cramped already, more space would be nice here

    - A and B are a too spacious and have too many entry-points for retakes

    - 3, 5, 6 need some rework so that they do not clash at one height. I felt pretty helpless as a defender there.


    just my 2 cents tho.

    Can we test Overgrown on Sunday?


    I've made a bunch of major changes and I'm eager to see how they pan out.


    Sure thing, mate! Sunday 21:00 GMT+1 it is!


    Edit: and you wanted to know what Rig I have the last time we playtested, here it is:


    GPU: GeForce GTX 460

    CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @2.40Ghz

    Ram: 4,00 GB

    Resolution: 1920x1080, 60Hz

  • De_local_beta CS:GO defuse map

    Looks pretty solid, how about giving it a playtest, so you can get feedback first hand while playing it with our community?


    What I can say from the screenshots is, that there is a fair amount of shadows and while shadows aren't a bad thing, too many of them can be exhausting for the eyes. Try working with the pitch a little, lower some walls, and/or use a directional light with the same color as the ambient of your sunlight and a big spreadangle.

    Hi Borgking, I've renamed it to de_core_v01 and added it to the server so we can playtest it on thursday 21:00 GMT+1.


    As a suggestion, since you named your map files de_core:

    Give your mapname a suffix like _v02, so people don't get the message that the mapfiles aren't matching and thus not allowing them to join the server running the map. Only when you're 100% sure that you finished the map, and only then, you can give the map the name it deserves without suffixes.

    I'd like to get my map de_monsoon back up for testing this Sunday if there is a spot available. I've gone through a lot of reworks with it.


    Ok, playtesting de_monsoon this sunday at 21:00 GMT+1! Just send me a PM with the link to the bsp and nav here or at steam so I can add it to the server and please also pack an overview into the bsp if you can, playtesting is more enjoyable this way.


    Does anybody else want to playtest his map tomorrow on short notice?

    I have updated version of my map de_hawksnest, can we perform playtesting today? If not, any closest day is Ok for me.


    We can playtest on thursday LexxoR, with leplubodeslapins current project! This means the playtest for thursday is fully booked with de_hawksnest and cs_opera.
