[CSGO] cs_sportscentre

[Skybex]

Hi guys. Started working on this after me and rzl got bagra released. Its a fairly large hostage rescue map with the hostages quite spread out so you cant camp the one spot and guard them all. It functions a bit more like a de_map where you have to protect the 2 sites so you need to be aware of what's going on with your team mates.

 

Also looking for suggestions on what to call the map. cs_sportscentre is too long a name to use.

 

T spawn

CT spawn

 

Will get an overview soon, the roof and stadium part causes havoc with taking an overview screenshot so will probably have to manually paint most of it.

That looks sick dude! I like the idea of having "bomb-site-hostages". Because I hated the tiny hostage spawns in maps like Office and Assault.

very nice, but the scale on some of those textures are huge

Definitely nice looking. Altough i'm not really a fan of cs maps.

 

What about cs_stadium or cs_dome as mapname?

[Skybex]

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

@Pampers. Where exactly do you feel the textures are overscaled? Nothing looks off to me.

 

@El_Exodus. Stadium was the first name I went for, but since its not really a stadium I changed it. Will probably return to that name though as although its not entirely accurate, its far better than cs_sportscentre

Looking good! How about:

 

cs_ring

cs_athlete

cs_arena

cs_oval

 

I think as there's already a famous de_stadium it would be best avoided. It wouldn't harm to go more abstract if you can't find a good literal one -- something like cs_strife for example.

 

Re: Overview, a quicker way than manual painting would be to take one overview screenshot with props, details etc. turned on and one without. Then put the image with full props/details in a layer above the empty one and apply the eraser tool liberally to any areas with too many ceiling details to reveal the simpler image below.

mostly the huge tiles everywhere

[text_fish]

The grouting does seem quite thick now you mention it.

[Skybex]

Might be the grout as text_fish mentions as the tile textures are the same size as most of the stock ones. Is it just the black and white tiles that look off or do the pool ones also look off? I will reduce the grout thickness on them as a test and post comparison shots

cs_sport is okay for me.

[FMPONE]

Looking sharp!

 

cs_strength ?

[UnknownPredator]

Looks really good, Loving the colors in the first pic!

 

cs_court?

[General Vivi]

Looking nice!

Will you guys playtest this on the mapcore server at some point?
