After months of lurking I would like to uncover de_Roca, a wingman map that takes you to the small town of Rocamadour France. This map is breaking into later stages of development and any feed back is greatly appreciated. This map would not have been possible without models made by @grapen for de_Scepter.

Link to find it on the Steam Workshop. (Warning: I've been too lazy to implement an overview, I'll get to it once I get closer to release)

Here are some screenshots of the map.

And a quick overview that I threw together.

Again, feedback is greatly appreciated.

I've spent the week sprinkling details around the map, but most of my focus has been on doing my first detail pass of T Spawn:

I'm still looking for feedback on the visuals and layout, so feel free to reply to this topic with suggestions.

Looking pretty! Havent checked the layout

Its only a bit dark with hard shadows. Brighten up the shadows of the light_enviorment to like 200 and perhaps make it more blue/purpleish

@Roald sounds good, some of my friends said that the bright shadows make the map look alien but I'll experiment with it.

This week I spent a lot of time working on the map, and I'd say that basically every single area has now gone through its first detail pass.

I absolutely love how CT spawn is turning out right now.

Here's another screen of the map (Unfortunately it is of lower quality because I am limited to uploading a total of 5 mb)

That door on the right seems to be not be uploading to the workshop properly, hopefully I'll find a fix soon.

As always, feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated.

The texture scale should be 0.125 for these. Also try cranking up the ambient lighting, the shadows are looking very dark. Keep it up!

@text_fish, yeah its supposed to be a cliff (if you look up irl pictures of Rocamadour you can see what I'm trying to do) so far that texture is the only one I've been able to find that doesn't look to repetitive and fits the rest of the maps aesthetic. If you (or anybody else for that matter) happen to know of any other textures already in CSGO or on other services that could fit then I will be sure to try and fit it onto on the cliff, but for now, this is the best I can do.

Valve's stock cliff textures aren't very good so my advice would be to make some of your own. If you're new to texture creation a good way to learn the basics is to download a few images from textures.com (go for the seamless ones if you're not comfortable editing them yourself) and use Yanzl's VMT editor to turn them in to CSGO materials.

Once you've got a couple cliff materials you like the look of you can use VMT editor again to make a blend material, then use the Paint Alpha tool to blend the two textures in hammer, which will really help reduce the repetitiveness. 

You can begin to learn more about materials here, although the VDC isn't kept completely up to date so be wary of using the software they sometimes recommend, and if in doubt google.

This week I did not have as much time to work on the map; however, I was able to fix all of the issues/problems with the map, including making a new texture for the cliff face!

I am planning on doing a playtest of the map on November 23rd, so if you live in North America and are interested please add me on steam! (Same username and profile picture)

Pushed Another small update, more work will be done with another update around this Sunday.
Here's a screenshot of one of the internal areas:

Of course I am still looking for and open to feedback.
I'm also still looking for people for play testing on the 23rd, so please, if you are interested, add me on Steam!

      Post in [decompiled] dz_blacksite

      Yanzl posted a post in a topic,

      Alright, I did some testing with the new detail sprites and found out how more specifically how they work. @Mamorex was on the right track but there's a few key things you left out. 

      Removing $alphatest from the material or adding $translucent

      First, the detail sprites material - it's 2 detail sprite sheets side by side, so version A and version B. The different versions have to have same sprite positions and sizes. You only specify version A coordinates in the .vbsp.


      Next up, the detail sprites masks. Red and blue are for wind offset -- so you can have different parts of the sprites sway in the wind differently, you can see Valve isolated some blades of grass for this effect. The green channel is a tint mask and controls how much the sprites are affected by the $worldspacetint. 

      That brings us to the world space textures. They seem to automatically get resized to fit the whole map area, so it you resize the map you'd have to resize the textures too.

      The world space tint texture is pretty self explanatory, controls what color to tint the grass, 127 grey means no tint. 

      The world space masks texture uses the red channel to select which version of the sprites to use -- 0 is version A and anything more is version B. 

      The green channel of the texture controls the sprite size -- 127 is default, with darker making the sprites smaller and brighter making the sprites larger. The vmt command $minimumspritesize controls the cutoff point for the sprites, so the sprites smaller than the specified value don't get rendered which can act as a placement mask. 

      I don't know what the blue channel of this texture does, changing it had no effect on the sprites for me. 

       

      All this means sprites still get placed by vbsp on map compile, so they still use displacement alpha for the placement, but the new masks can manipulate sprites size and color after map compile.
