The one on the ceilling belongs to nuke, I am sure about the other one.

@Steppenwolf I tried it yesterday night too, but same problem like @Vorontsov

I dont get any error messages, just dont see thumbnails in the list.

After some experimenting with substance designer and the help of some nice tutorials i've been able to generate a first simple texture of worn and old tiles (simply sticked to a tutorial so nothing could go wrong )

Creating custom textures for de_oakwood just became so much easier and faster, i realy love this tool!

I started of with the official ones from Allegorithmic, but they are a bit complicated. I found an easier one for n00bs like me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3rgNHnHdwBBrpG_WHOS-Xw

Excitement confirmed!

Full compile is used for a final version of a map that is going to be published. It deliveres the best quality yet takes the longes time to calculate lighting and so on.

Fast is, as the name says a faster version, yet not to accurate. But in terms of developing your map its good enough.

CompilePal is just an external program or a 3rd party compiling tool with easier configuration of the compiling parameters.

Besides that the time need for compiling your map isnt only effected by its complexity but more over by its level of optimization (skybox, etc...) this over all is a too big topic to be answered in a short way. I suggest reading the articles by @will2k

I like this truck, yet its a bit too glossy. In a havana I'd expect it to be a bit more dirty and rusty...

The current wall of fame with lots of placeholder pics that wait to be replaced:

PS: It would be best if you looked like a musician (with some sort of instrument), group photos are also welcome.

To bad I dont look like a musician - more like a mad scientist (on heavy drugs ofc) ...

Sans serifes looks nice, yet the theme of the map itself doesnt seem to fit a modern company logo...

finaly some map where I can shoot terrorist that are trying to escape skiers

excelent brush work what i've seen so far. I like the bridges which give the scene something iconic.

Where is the Colloseum you promised in the title?

I think Bombsite B and T spawn are to close to each other. CTs can hardly arrive before Ts. Besides the direct straight lines and paths stil appear a bit to simplistic to me. The ruins in the center of the map are interesting imo. keep it up!

I'd like to see an updated overview if you made some changes to the layout.

If you are confident the changes you implemented are beneficial ones, another playtest would be the next logical step to give you a huge amount of feedback and input on the direction your map is going right now.

As we have done some changes to the layout I am now adding a new Overview. (this time its even up to date, yet not implemented in the workshop version... )

Spoiler

Looks nice so far, but what happened to the other map?

Taking a break from mapping and trying to focus on learning modelling/texturing.

Gone a long way, if you see what I made a few months ago.... Going to try to make a high poly and bake it on a low poly tomorrow.

The problem isnt compiling. If he openes the *.vmf file (which works fine in my editor, and that i am able to compile without problems) his editor shows entities in a strange way. After compiling the entities are gone for him...

Judging form the screenshots posted in the Workshop I see some very longs sightlines there.
