Victoria

[synkope 47]

Hello! English is not my native language, so I will use Google translator, sorry

 

So, the scene of the map is a huge Victoria Falls.

The bomb site A is an observation deck on which terrorists placed dangerous toxic substances to poison water and harm nature.

The bomb site B is a botanical garden where a unique collection of rare plants (and their seeds) is collected and terrorists are going to destroy it.

 

 

 

And now I will present screenshots of what I started with and where I came to:

 

• First version (general idea) 

 

• Second version

 

• Third version

 

• The fourth version (pre-final layout)

 

• Fifth version (final layout + start of creating a visual image)

 

 

 

And a few more screenshots of the current version of the map:

 

• Spawn of counter-terrorists

 

• A bomb site

 

• Spawn of terrorists

 

• Road to bomb site A

 

• Mid

 

• Terrorist mid

 

• B bomb site (general form)

 

• B bomb site

 

• B bomb site

 

• Road to bomb site A (general form)

 

 

 

Thanks for reading!

The lighting feels like it's too yellow. Also for the cliff sides, you should try to using multiple different props and them so they do not repeat. 

Also the ambient light in your  light_enviroment  should be close to the color of the sky: Shadows are being lit up and colored by the sky itself rather than the sun, after all.

Other than that, looks awesome

There's already a map called Victoria, you may want to change your map's name to make its nature-oriented feel a bit more obvious

You've picked a cool theme idea, excited to see where you can take it

I agree. I haven’t set up the lighting for the map yet, which is why it looks so bad.

I will definitely do it, but now I just set the props on the map to create the first visual version.

Thanks for your comments!

The current name of the map seems very appropriate (and beautiful) to me. I doubt that I will change it, but thanks for your remark.

I think the 2 maps will be thematically different enough at the end of the day for it not to be a big deal.

I’ve been at the Victoria Falls… ambitious project. I know this doesn’t need to be realistic, but seems way too industrial and built up for such a naturalistic spot

Thanks! I'll think about it...

Hmm... that sounds like a good idea.

I made a quick sketch of the new building architecture.
Here's what happened:

Ready a quick sketch of the geometry, and  also made the final version of the layout.

Due to a critical error, func_buyzone and func_bomb_target do not work on the map. I fixed it and am already compiling the map in its final form. here are some screenshots and radar:

Very nice development. Reminds me much more of Niagara falls than Victoria falls, but you did a good job with your theme. Bond-villain lair vibes!

The map is so clean and simple, I think it might be taken seriously in competitive mode!

Amazing step up in detail, I love it!! I think this might be one of my favorite entries

[synkope 47]

I thought I solved the problem, but it turns out not. now func_buyzone on terrorists is not available on the map. I decided not to pull and open access to the map, now only deathmach is available there

You still have time to fix it!!
