De_ruins

[ElectroSheep]

Well I have already made de_quetzalcoatl for 1.6

Whaaaat ? I thought it was cool name (((((((((((

for sure, i just mean that a name should be catchy and easy to remember. think about someone in a server changing the map via rcon etc. militia, italy, dust, inferno, aztec - perfect names that work in a variety of use-cases. i think ruins is actually really good; it's a little non-descriptive and shouldn't be your final name but it's a good starting point in terms of simplicity.

[ElectroSheep]

Yeah but there is a de_ruins already for the CEVo contest. But until this one is not in the workshop, should be good for me ^^

[OrnateBaboon]

All I have is de_vestige or de_relic.

[Wail]

Throwing some ideas out there (I have no idea if any other maps use these names): de_inca, de_unearthed, de_excavation, de_ancient, de_amazon, de_couatl, de_predator, or any sort of South / Central American place name (Belize, Ecuador, etc.).

[Rick_D]

relic is siqq

[ElectroSheep]

Relic is nice, yeah ^^

but DE_UNCHARTED, haha joking

[Sjonsson]

I agree with the others, de_relic is kewl!

Fun to see the evolution in 1 month :

I also started to work on a background with some moving mist :

Purdy!

[El Moroes]

Nice

I'm sure it will be more interesting if you remove your rain ! IMO, the droplets are too large and you can't have a little rainy / humid atmosphere with this entity. Try to have custom particles to do that

[FMPONE]

its going to sound bad but i think the very first iteration was the most natural seeming. it seems like you're losing the plot as time goes by with the lighting. sorry D:

maybe try to go back to the night lighting but make it more readable? it's ambitious and a bit crazy but at least the look is coherent there imo. the new one just seems busy to me

[Evert]

I disagree with FMPONE! The last two ones are definatelly my favorites. I'd tone down the fog slightly in the last one though, it comes of as a bit monochrome atm.

Agree with moroes about the rain. Try to add some more atmospheric subtle near cloud layer, could probably make it look nice with the default smokecloud entity, whatever it's called.

Last pic is definitely my favourite. It looks good whilst being very readable, which is an absolute must for CS.

I tried to make some small volumetric fog pieces but I failed actually I know there is some smoke cloud in particles but they are one shot (disapearing after one use)
