  • de_zaruna (WIP)

    Hi!

    This is supposed to be the first map I actually finish. I pretty much don't know what else to say. I've been working on it for half a year with a few breakes due to learning for my exams.

    Map takes place in a small french/italian/maybe even greek town, that's pretty much all I can say right now about the story behind the map; that's going to be something I will think of when the map is actually ready for its final release.

    I'm a bit lazy about updating the workshop page so if you want to see some actual ingame pictures take a look right here.

    Map can be downloaded here. Don't worry about filesize or anything, as of right now the map is completely made out of brushes to keep it as simple as possible.


    I'd appreciate any comments about it whether you like the map or not please share your thoughts and how I could improve it! Thank you!


    Edit: Since this post looks a little bit empty and I just tried "Auto Radar" by terri out I wanted to share the result with you guys, have fun:

  • (CS:GO) de_place (WIP)

    Hello! This is my latest WIP map: de_place (name is more or less a *place*holder haha)

    I'm not entirely sure about the layout and I'm completely unsure about the theme. Right now the map is set in an italian town similar to inferno, italy and canals. But this might change, I don't know yet. Here are screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/RL4uV

    Here's the workshop link: Feel free to check it out and let me know what you like and dislike about it (and why) :) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/fi…s/?id=842126114

    And here's the layout:

  • Water disappears when coming close

    For everybody having the same issues I found a solution! The water was inside one of my visclusters, that made it disappear when I came close. I changed the viscluster so the water is outside of it and now it doesn't disappear. For the red glass: I made it displacements, now it shows up correctly.

  • Water disappears when coming close

    So I'm working on my latest project that features a (more or less) small lake. Some parts of it are in a 3d skybox and this is where the problems start. Please look at these pictures: http://imgur.com/a/EwBar . When you're far away from the water you can see it (pic 1) but if you get close enough (picture 2) it just disappears. No there is no leak or anything in the map. The water in the 3d skybox is always visible. Ahh and then there's this other thing, so I use these nice red glass texture in my 3d skybox as some kind of barrier to show people where the map ends. This works very well around the whole map except around my lake. As you can see (picture 3) this texture also gets invisible (as soon as the water disappears), which is strange cuz the texture on the left stays. So I have no idea what to do, please save my christmas and help me out with that :)

    Hello fellas!

    My map hasn`t gotten too much attention so I'll give it a little Bump bringing lots of new information to you!

    The map has changed drastically in the past 2 months. The layout seems to be finally done (unless one last mapcore playtest comes to a different conclusion) and I can start detailing (already done in some areas) now.

    I appreciate your playtesting and your feedback so please keep on doing just that! (Ty Logic for the reply above, I did include some of your ideas) Thanks a lot for that!

    Btw I updated the originial post so that you can see the actual screenshots and the current layout!

    2 hours ago, Shibou said: That Bombsite looks like it'll be hard to defend from these OP spots but the architecture is nice!

    Ty for the comment. Yes I'm not really sure about the "catwalk" thing on the left. First I thought of it just as a thing cool to look at but then I removed all the clips and now it's ingame. Maybe I'll change it again.

    But what do you mean with "OP spots"? Imo CTs have more chances on this site but I might be wrong.

    I made some screenshots for you to make it easier to find what i mean!

    -wall too wide

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -1. strange textures; 2. wall too wide, looks not natural; 3. detail (sth. like a window frame) is missing

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -here's a nodraw texture you can see

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -detail (rim, frame) missing. This is just an example, there are many spots like that on the map

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -this spot is very strange, 1. it's possible to go below it; 2.the ladder; 3. imo too op => I would remove it

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -image explains it all

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -strange texturing, this is not the only example on the map

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -spot too op imo

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -clip brush missing, 1. you can stand on these small edges; 2. very small window frames blocking player

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -props colliding with the world (this is not the only example)

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -again, I would completely remove this as shown here

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

    -1. the vents are unnecessary imo, you should remove them and they don't make sound when shot; 2. strange clips; 3. I would remove that path, otherwise the CTs would have to hold 3 different angles on A; and I don't know if it was intentionally that you can boost yourself up to window with that tree but I like it (if you remove the vents)

    Spoiler The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.


    Edit: Would be awesome if you could keep me updated on this map so I can download the latest versions!

    Quote from wylde

    11 minutes ago, wylde said: - I can open up the A site skybox (and elsewhere). I think my intention here was to force players to go into the A Main building and throw smokes through skylights or windows. Perhaps this is too artificial of a restriction.

    - I think upper CT B route is supposed to be a challenge to defend from, making the CT either commit to the site or play from afar and go for entry picks. I could be wrong about that though. CT spawn will likely be moved a second or two back, which would make it the fastest way into B site/peeking B Main.

    - Very possible that I need to remove a route to A, or vent to mid, or one of the two windows overlooking B (or all of these). It will be easier for me to remove them now then add them if they weren't there. I'll keep an ear out for any one else mentioning it. I also think this is why I have stopped adding detail to look for feedback, as I don't want to spend hours making window frames and rooflines if I need to rework a passageway entirely. I know I'm pretty close to a truly competitive layout, but I'm sure it isn't perfect. Is it the mid to A route that seems unnecessary?

    Was there an image missing in your post? I see you referred to one.

    Thanks again!

    -yes I saw the windows you mentioned and I really like them but anyways it should be possible to throw some smokes from further away imo

    -you're right I forgot the image here we go

    -either the one on the left or the middle one

    You're welcome man!

    So I had not that much time I'm sorry but here are some things that I want to point out:

    -your clip brush work is (as you said) very poor. Even without any bots I can get out of the map way to easily. You should also use more clip brushes to make movement smoother

    -you should make the crane a little higher, the steel bars it carries (I hope you know what I mean) are too low and they're blocking smokes and flashes thrown to A site

    -open up the skybox around A site, it's not possible to throw smokes or flashes from T spawn to A site, that's kinda annoying

    -the upper route from CT to B site doesn't make sense to me, why would a CT go there to hold B site? There's no cover or anything. I would remove it and connect it to the other routes to B from CT (shown on the image below)

    -there are a few nodraw textures that you can see, e.g. one in front of A site coming from T spawn

    -both your bombsites seem to be too big and/or there's not enough cover. Nearly everywhere you can plant is way too open imo

    -not enough detail, use more decals and foliage props, also try to make frames for some windows (e.g. the windows near T spawn need frames imo)

    -too me it feels like there are too many routes to A (4 with CT if I'm not mistaken)

    -some walls seem to be too wide, looks not natural imo (e.g. the very right path leading to A site from T spawn, the building you have to enter has some really wide walls.

    Besides all these negative points I really like your map. I like the coloring and the layout. Since I played it only alone I can not say anything about the gameplay, I don't know whether it's too CT or too T sided (or just fine).
