  • [WIP] de_change (Big Update 08/18/2015)

    Finally, right before playtesting session this thursday, big update on de_change (new overview on top):

    - all new CT spawn
    - big B spot overhaul (inclusive T house)
    - removed some dark spots
    - closed one redundant(?) CT route to A spot
    - clean-up on A spot
    - altered T route to A (removed a house, added another, some trees...)
    - minor changes everywhere


    This map will be playtested this thursday (20. August) at 21:00[/b] CEST[/b]. I want to invite everybody to join us. See you there!


    Some new pictures

    Hey guys,

    I submitted my map "de_change" for playtesting session on 20.8. today. But I want to clarify, that the current version in steam workshop is not the one for testing. I'm currently working on a big update coming out not later than monday. I hope there are no problem with this approach.

    Thank all of you for the impressions!

    The main thing I would say that should be improved on your map are the paths. For example. The paths that CTs must take to both bombsites, from looking at the overview, doesnt look interesting. Instead of being straight lines I would make it wider and change some angles. I havent seen it ingame so I'm not sure if it looks different

    I'll think about it. Maybe I get a sudden clever idea to change the path there. Meanwhile please take a look ingame whether it confirms your impression.

    Simply find textures more actual and less old-ish. You could find an inspiration in de_season, or maybe closer to what you want to do: New York maps from Will2k, he has well updated his textures for the cs go version compared to his previous version. I think that visually, you can achieve something a lot better without starting detailing too much.

    Maybe I can grab some inspirations from this. Thanks.

    I also refer to it as GoldSrc, as some of the details are very blocky, specifically the picture with holes in the wall and the rather chunky slab of angled wood.

    You refer to the B spot here. This is one of the least current parts of the map. This should be just a sketch of the layout and theme you can expect there in the future. But you are right, in it's current state it's not very pleasing. Most likely it's the next part I will rework (or ct spawn).

    You've also used a lot of noisy textures in close proximity to each other and looping a lot. Like when someone wears a heavily patterned shirt with heavily patterned shorts, there's too much going on and it looks a mess.

    Do you mean the A spot in particular? I defused some very frequent texture (glass tower) and added new texture for the ground (see last update first picture). Do you think it is still to noisy?

    Some of de_change I would like to see is towards your pathways, they are very narrow and long. I think the map needs to be made a bit smaller. It would be a smart move to also implement some neutral textures (dev) while you work on the layout and size of the map. Seems a little silly to line up all your textures now, just adding extra work to your workload.

    A lot of textures, especially on b site of the map, are just placeholders, because i did not want to publish the map with dev textures. It seems it was a bad decission, because many people are bothered about them.

    I added some color features to the radar to highlight paths, underpasses and interior space and put it in the first post. I hope it helps to orientate yourself.

    Yeah I know there is not much cover on some paths, I will look into that!

    What do you mean exactly by detailing? Things like decals, sutucco and props or more architectural?
