Quote from Bodd Jonar

I want an engine that can actually give me a reasonable fps considering the computer I have.

Battlefront on Ultra and 1080p came close to the fps I have on csgo.

And Im sitting here with 50 fps on dust 2

Well try lower values of overview or try to use arrows to position the view. Sometimes you can actually choose the height of the view so you can cut roofs etc.

Did you set yourself above the map?

Submitted my new map. I choosed the wrong date. @'RLZ PLS change it if You can to 29.09.2015. I will add thread later. Thank You guys !

Could you explain how and where they are illogical?

There are some places where you can go straight to train platform without passing the ticket things. I know its still wip but you put some effort to actually put them in few places.

Your workshop version does not have spawn points... And some places on the map are illogical.

They actually put some of the refugees in Buchenwald concentration camp. The history repeats itself. In all seriousness in this topic this your post made me giggle

3rd is the best in my opinion. Curious how 2nd one would look with changed light_environment values.

This is great !

You're making a huge assumption here that everyone who is a refuge has a family of 4 people total.I don't think that's true, and even if it was, a million people in total dispersed all over Europe is NOTHING. And this rumor with middle eastern families having more kids is bullshit propaganda. Why would they get more kids when it isn't sustainable for them to do so? Nobody has that many kids anymore because nobody can use that many kids for anything. In the olden days it may have been true, as it was for western countries where farmers needed the extra help of children to make do. Educate yourself.

​Well I don't want to fight with anyone. Just expressing my opinion. You don't need to call me uneducated because I have different opinion. And you are the one making assumption that they don't need more children's because nobody can use them. Maybe you are right maybe I'm wrong. Let's wait and see what happened in another year. And trust me I would like to help every person that is in need but the way our politicians are doing this is just wrong.

Quote from Sentura

I don't believe the fact that people don't want to take in refugees. I believe people are being driven to this point by fearmongering politicians who are looking for the lowest common denominator so they can get more votes next election. By far the biggest culprit in this scenario is the wrongful portrayal of refugees by the media. Only roughly 250,000 refugees have come into mainland Europe, whereas most of syria's 17 million population has stayed behind in 'safer' areas in Syria as well as refugee camps on the Turkish borderland (4 million in Turkish refugee camps).

There is no invasion, there's a small city's worth of people who want to migrate into Europe because their current living conditions are abysmal. Between all the European countries, having an extra 250k people enter should be a breeze. Anything else is just propaganda and fearmongering. Don't buy into that shit and stay on top of the facts in these matters. Educating yourself on these things is free for now, so do it while they still let you.

You need to keep in mind that you need to multiply this number by 3 or 4 because those young mans have families that they want to bring to europe after they settled. Other thing is the middle east families have around 4 or 5 childs where european one have 0.7 in this times.
Argument that they want to bring the families after they settled is also bullshit because what kind of coward you must be to leave your woman and childs behind.

My condolences. Losing someone that you love is always hard. Hope you and the rest of the family is alright.

Well you guys are right in a lot of aspects. You FrieChamp are talking about solidarity between the states of EU. I though we are living here in democracy. If the most of those "states" dont want to take them then EU should not force everyone to do it and its the same if most of the ppl in their countries dont want them. But again like you said. You can't take only good things like money and refuse to be solidarity with other countries. I fully agree on this.

Regards!

I tried to avoid this topic so much but I can't handle this anymore.
I want to tell you my opinion on the problem that Sprony wrote a post about it.

At the beginning I want to make sure that you guys don't get me wrong. Death of a child is a tragic thing. No matter whether you are a parent or not. I will not deny that there is a problem. People should help each other. The problem with politics and communities lays somewhere else. As you can see on most of the photograph 70%-80% of refugees are male between 20-38 y. You don't often see women's and children. I can tell you why. The whole trip to Europe from Syria is like hunger games. Only the strongest survive. Other thing is If they want to escape from war they have nearly 15 countries between Syria and Germany. They still want to go to Germany. This is because whole Europe is giving them help with no restrictions and questions. The CEO of polish foundation that is helping refugees said that they can't verify anyone so they are forced to give help to everyone. This makes great opportunities for peoples that want only money. The father of drowned boy wanted to go to Europe because he heard that they are giving free healthcare and he wanted new teeth. There are a lot of relations from reporter on borders that refugees are very aggressive. Recent one is from Italy. Migrants tried to overturn a bus full of tourists. Another one is from Hungary. Refugees where throwing out water and food that Hungary government gave them. They were also aggressive. I'm not questioning that there is no problem and we shouldn't help those ppl but You need to get this clear. There are more ppl trying to get money from our governments then ppl really trying to escape from war. You need to keep in mind that some countries in Europe like Poland can't afford even 1.500 refugees from their money. This is a huge problem. I don't want to talk something like "USA destabilized whole middle east area and they should take care of them now". It doesn't matter of us. And this is the main reason why this poor boy died. It's because greed and corruption. The ppl that are trying to escape the war for real dying on the way here to Europe. Please don't trust the media. Europe can't afford 1 million refugees in 2 years. Some specialists are saying that this is the beginning of the end of UE.

And once again this is my personal opinion. Please make sure you read all information's from few sources. And if you want to help 20 000 migrants because of one picture imagine how many children has died on the way here because there was a 24 years old man who wanted to go to Europe just to get more goods and not because of war.

Regards guys!

But you don't have to be an expert on game design to know when it works and when it doesn't.

Just the same way you don't have to know how to play wind instruments to know that this is bad flute:

I will disagree on this. As you can see on workshop, shitty aim_ maps are often more popular than super polished maps. Players that don't know how much you can squeeze from source engine will think differently.

Wow, the pics look amazing LizardPL! Really nice work with the detailing. I can't really give your more feedback before I've got a chance to run around on it (gf is sleeping so can't use the desktop atm :/) I'll post again tomorrow. Just gotta ask if you've had a chance to playlets it yet? If yes, how did that go? I get the feeling the player models might be hard to see in some places due to texture/prop/shadow-clutter?

Anyways, looks amazing. Good luck

Map was playtested a lot with MapCore players and Redditors. Players didn't report any visibility issues with this version of the map. I was focusing more on gameplay aspects. For instance making some places brighter so player models won't blend too much with environment. Thank You for your kind words!

I still feel like the lighting is too yellow-ish. Overall good job.

Quote from ScottehBoeh

Defuse Maps have different aspects of gameplay compared to Hostage Maps. I understand that most maps on CS:GO have set engagements, but why not have something new and different? It would be awesome to have to take new tactics to enter, capture and leave the town. Randomness requires extra skill from the player, and would make it more fun in my opinion.

Players don't like randomness. Look at all Dota 2 RGN skills and random crits in tf2. It's nice to have something new and fresh but you need to be careful with this. Players can get annoyed very quickly.

Quote from blackdog

I like this modern architecture a lot. Seems to be coming along well

Aside: I think that in Ubisoft Toronto they had very similar reference, cos one map of Blacklist I recently played was set in a mansion very similar to some of those photos

I played Blacklist but this took me a minute to recall
