CSGO Map Submissions open for the next operation!

[Mvllsk]

Just wanted to let you guys know:

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/CSGOMapsWorkshop#announcements/detail/230018761209500723

 

Deadline is March 9th. I'd be happy to see some maps from this community in the upcoming operation!


E: Probably should have added "CS:GO" to the thread title. Welp.

If anyone from here has any maps that are potentially operation-viable post them in this thread. More favourites and upvotes the better

Will zoo and resort be ready for this operation?

[El_Exodus]

Well, Zoo is already released. And every candidate for the Operation will receive additional feedback by Valve. So im pretty confident, that we'll see it in it. I think Resort will also be ready, but this is up to RZL and Yanzl

[El Moroes]

Zoo and Resort are good candidates, I agree ! 

[Vaya]

There was a couple complaints about optimisation for DE_resort during the playtest this week.

 

Not sure how quickly this could get resolved (bsp is like 100mb +)

 

I think there's a number of good contenders from here but it depends on valves theming and own intentions. They well be considering bringing back a couple successful past maps again .

bsp has to be lower than 150mb

[Squad]

Is that a requirement by Valve, ted?

[Vaya]

I'm interested in the process after valve chooses the maps. Do they make you sign an NDA then ask you apply a number of changes to the map? or do they ask you to send an upto date bsp/vmf/radar etc for inspection and apply any 'required' changes themselves?

 

I know someone from here had valve apply a number of changes to a map's lighting before it got added it an operation.

 

It would be cool if you got invited to a playtest with CSGO's team and discussed the design with them but that's probably wishful thinking 

[cashed]

Is that a requirement by Valve, ted?

Yes, because it causes issues on servers. It also got us reducing and optimizing things we didn't need so it was a benefit.

[ElectroSheep]

150mb is terribly heavy for a map.

blackgold is 180, workout is 150, season ditto. Probably keep it under 200?

[Vaya]

Custom assets are always going to make the map huge. If you want an original theme you'll either need to use existing assets in a really creative way or take a hit in file size

 

Valve seem to have gotten around it with the new DE_train by adding all the assets to the stock VPK? Does anyone know if this improves performance..?

 

I think de_overpass used a lot of existing models too so no issues there....

[Adam108CZ]

Hi guys! Do you know any operation-worthy hostage maps? Candidly, I know only about cs_hijack, tahat's all...

[Squad]

blackgold is 180, workout is 150, season ditto. Probably keep it under 200?

 

ted said it's a requirement by Valve. Blackgold was in an earlier operation than workout and season, so I guess the requirement was probably set (or changed) after Blackgold.
