  • [CS:GO] Narco

    Narco, a bomb defuse map by Jacket

    Some of you may remember this little project from some months back. Well it's now more or less complete!

    The Terrorists have been using an old industrial estate as a front for their latest drug enterprise, but the Counter-Terrorists have discovered the site and are eager to shut it down, along with everyone involved. The Terrorist team must destroy either the old factory or the latest shipment that has yet to ship.

    Currently a minor vvis bug at B site causing some background buildings to flicker, fog may need adjustments, some detailing/texture replacements still to do. With thanks to Pilk and everyone who has tested/provided feedback. Custom model by 3dregenerator from tf3dm.com

    I wholeheartedly agree, I haven't liked the design of B since I first made it and I'll probably be redesigning it once again in the future when this dissertation is done with.

    And yeah, I noticed the terribly large filesize and >90% of it would be an empty server, because the recording didn't seem to stop after everyone left. I'll try to prevent this from happening again, maybe it also reduces the chances of corruption.

    Same thing seems to have happened to mine. Unfortunately I timed out after about 5 minutes so didn't manage to get much feedback from gameplay (plus me playing on my laptop was probably ruining balance), although the text chat is still present so I might get some limited use from that. Would there be any issue in me submitting it for Thursday exactly as was (unless there was anything majorly wrong with it)? I wont be able to play but can drag a friend in to play instead and answer any questions he relays to me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":P" width="15">

    Changes made!

    Moved sites closer
    Altered both yards
    A yards roof lowered to give smoke deploy over roof
    'Simplified' A's site: added the two fenced off areas to remove hiding spots (less spots to have to check)
    Made T's path to A longer
    Removed mid's building at T side
    Changed mid bridge to pipes and ladder rather than crates to access it
    Changed the fence at Mid-B connector (next to CT) to be a bit more aesthetically pleasing
    Removed sightline at A-double door to A site
    Removed sightline from B balcony to mid door
    Removed metal sheet on B to prevent easy bomb plant/hide spot
    Removed pixel-perfect spot on B yard green fences to prevent sight through to connector
    Clipped pipe bridge at mid for smoother transfers
    Extended building height at mid to prevent visibility onto A site with boosting
    Removed small gaps between wooden boards on floor of A-Mid connector
    Added opaque windows on A-Mid connector
    Extended fence height at bottom of Mid to prevent sightline
    Extended doorways at CT-A connector to give a less cramped feel
    Added an additional panel to the fences around A site to prevent seeing people before they've come around the corner
    Moved some window props around in squeaky door corridor and B yard to prevent z fighting

    Thanks to all who tested and gave feedback. So far my plans are to bring the bomb sites closer together and alter the bridge somewhat (possibly adding a ladder on CT's side rather than crates everywhere) which would make the overview a little more like below. There's a huge space above T spawn I'd be considering to occupy somehow and perhaps a few more geometry changes to be made at the bombsites.

    Hopefully I can get these changes done and be able to get it tested again this week, though I wont be around so I'll miss the test again :/

    'Nother update:

    Altered the entry points to B from CT's side. The balcony room above B has been complete removed. Also site A's yard has been modified. Hopefully this is at least a step in the right direction for simplifying the layout.

  • [CSGO] Murdertown & Import/Export (RSV2 Remakes)

    A while ago I was asked to remake some maps from Rainbow Six Vegas 2, thought I might as well post them here so you can all see. It's unlikely they'll be updated anymore as they were made/detailed based on already existing levels but I still look back on maps like these and see a number of places I feel I should/could improve (particularly 3d skyboxes, man I hate doing those things), but that can only be a good thing I'm sure :)

    Murdertown on the Workshop

    This one's available as an arms race map and is certainly my preferred of the two, had to make a fair amount of the brushwork into models however due to reaching brush limits D:


    Import/Export Arms Race || Import/Export Demolition

    There are areas of this one I like, but the scale of rooms combined with some of the available props was just ridiculous and made things pretty difficult.

    Let me know what you think, or don't, like I said they probably wont get updated ever again. :P

  • Mapcore Introductions Thread

    Yo! Final year Sheffield student studying Games Software Development here. Been mapping for a fair few years for Source games now, and yet never found this place before. Only recently properly mapped for CSGO as I'm pretty terrible at the game (like most things in life :o ) but needed something to do for a Uni project that could provide me with a great research topic, so competitive CSGO mapping it was!


    So yeah, hi. :)

  • MapCore CS:GO Playtesting 4.0

    Hey, couple of quick questions:

    Firstly, I'm an idiot (and it's 1am) so I submitted mine then realised there's still week between the 6th and the 17th that seems unoccupied, is there anyway to edit a submission? Or could I request mine be changed to either the 10th or 13th?

    Secondly, I assume it's probably ideal for you to turn up to your own map test. How much humiliation must I subject myself to if I end up actually playing?
