[CS:GO] de_austria (WIP)

[SirK]

Yeah I know it must be hard to close of such a big part of a finished map. But i think it wouldn solve a lot of the timing issues you have and make the map play faster. The T-Spawn is a lot like Nukes T-spawn atm, without having the CTs run the same distance.

Looks really good. Love the location choice, it's distinctive. Will like to play it out and give you feedback

to get it off the main page so the maps sponsored by a gambling site can take the spot. This is what the workshop has become.

This is what CSGO has become..
Hopefully Valve will actually close down these gambling sites because they are the cancer of the community.

What a joke honestly, that most popular page is plagued constantly by these no effort, spam riddled, and bot boosted maps. 

You and every other serious content creator shouldn't have to share the front page of the CS:GO workshop with maps that are created in minutes time and are literally uploaded by someone with the name "Advertising".

Used the last weeks to make a couple of gameplay changes.

- Moved T-spawn, so that Ts are faster on their route to B/middle.

- Also moved stairs to the 'window' to 'living room' so that it's way harder to outflank CTs

- Bombsite B is not as tight anymore + added a shed as additional entrance/cover

- and improved cover on A site + moved everything a little so that it's harder to block with molotov/grenades etc.

 

It's not uploaded yet, but I hope to get it ready for tomorrow...

Interesting changes

[Radu]

Everything is juuuuust right.

[Radix]

Updated the workshop submission.

I think it's a lot better now, at least much closer to what I originally wanted.

[Fnugz]

I like the changes you have made and the alternate entrance into B site, as I think it was needed.

I think the map is generally well clipped, and I could not find any places the bomb could get stuck.

I did however, find a few boost spots that need to be fixed.

That moment when you realize that your work of the last four months was a complete waste of time...

Well, I was working on a new map for a while (which turned out to be a huge fail, but this is a different story) but when de_austria came back to competitive matchmaking, I decided to revise a couple of things in de_austria. So I started to rework a bunch of the worst assets, so that everything looks a little better and, more importantly, that the map runs faster (especially on older systems). Because I didn't manage to make the autocombine feature do it's job, I decided to do it manually (also called "annoyingcombine" or "extremely time consuming combine") and grouped a huge amount of the props to reduce draw calls, which made the map run a little faster overall. Also moved 90% of the map to create more space in the center (...), made a new bot nav mesh, new radar image, some minor gameplay tweaks, added support for Wingman game mode and many other small things...

Last night I wanted to start the very last final compile before updating my workshop submission. That was exactly the moment when I noticed that there was a new CS:GO update which removed my map from the game. I've been a little bit late, I guess (as always in my life).

Anyways. It was still a pretty cool thing to be part of a popular video game for 20 months. Especially for a complete mapping noob, who has absolutely no idea what he is doing and can't even play the game.

That’s sucks to hear. I really enjoyed Austria and still think that the mid building is a amazing way of not having a classic mid.

So do you plan on working on a new map any time soon?
