Horry shiiet! That's awesome news. Can't wait until it's there for CS

[blackdog]

Dunno if useful, I was linked this video earlier this morning but didn't looked at it till few minutes ago

Didn't we have a proper discussion on Source 2? And most importantly: how long before Valve will make a devkit independant from the games?

I need to know :

1. Is this really a port of Dota 2 from Source 1 to Source 2 (with the exact same graphics and gameplay)

2. Would such a thing be possible for CS:GO

 

Seriously guys i'm too much excited, this is awesome

^ Maybe dota is source2, but capped? Or this isnt possible?

im glad all the money i gave to valve is being well spent

I'm hoping. I don't want a backend lua scripting system, I'd like them to be up to date with scripting like every other engine by now.

I want to know more about the optimisation system though ...

Yep! Dev tools are running Source 2.  I shot a CS dev a tweet about it, so hopefully he'll confirm if CS:GO will be ported

They did the same when the original Source came out remember? They were saying they were testing tech with older games like CS1.6 and HL… so that wouldn't be totally crazy, even if this time they turned quite upside down the building paradigm.

I guess Valve chose dota2 as a testing ground and once every major bug is ironed (hopefully), they will move to the other active titles, mainly CSGO and TF2 to migrate to Source 2. L4D3 will be natively developed on Source 2 and I don't think they are interested in shifting older titles such as CSS, HL2 or DODS

 

But the new features are indeed exciting and offer the perspective of a more streamlined workflow as opposed to current Hammer.

Interesting and legit question.

 

If the new system adopted (vmap) is a complete departure from the bsp principles, then we will have to learn new optimization techniques and tricks (unless visleaves and "visibility from a region" approach are still the norm)

 

Can any mapcorean who tried the new editor/maps chime in?

This actually raises an interesting question. Could updating DoDS to a newer engine and adding gameplay modes, that (even though present in DoDS servers and CSGO) CSGO now has officially added to CS, breathe new life into the DoDS community?

Player Spawns are already implemented

This is a thing i totally miss in the "old" Hammer..

The scripting stuff is a bit limiting because you dont have 100% control of input (keyboard/mouse/etc) and output (camera). Which means that you cant easily map mouse movement to camera movement.

Which means you cant really create a new game with this, like an fps, with new controller schemes. Just maps for Dota 2.

 

But those maps can still be interesting
