Final Edit: So I've been working hard on it for the past few days and I'm too tired to sort out the files so I'll see if I can pakrat it all tomorrow but it would be nice if you lot could let me know if you are actually gonna show up or I might as well sleep lol

Wont be anything special, I'll just upload the bsp and put a link here and then I'll host a server and post IP and password and we'll have a few matches. Might add some bots if it is empty.
Edit: So this Sunday at 2:00 PM GMT: refer to this:

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

I'll update post with a link to bsp. Turn up or dont turn up, we've decided a playtest isn't needed as much as we thought but we're doing this more for fun now.

Sounds like Sunday is the day people love so what time? Afternoon? Gah timezones etc etc Can someone else calculate it :D

"tl;dr bottom"

Hey, I've been working on a CSS map for the past few months that was blocked out by Smokerscough who worked on the mod Rock 24 which some of you may remember a few years ago.

My point being, I'm concerned the map hasn't been tested enough and I'm not going to make custom art that fits the level only to find rooms are edited in size so I'm thinking it might be good to host a "small" playmatch between some close TWHL'ers and to get some feedback.

We intend to port this to CS:GO when it's released to take full advantage of the new lighting system. Let me know if you might be interested and what day is good for you. If it comes to it I might just release a compiled version so you can play on your own with bots or something. We just need feedback.

Anyway here's a recent hammer pic and below that an older pic. Note it's playable but visually it's pretty fugly but we're working on it.

I f**king hate rails. I made them fit these rooms and we ended up changing them so SWOOSH down went my hard work so I stopped making collision models for the time being XD

tl;dr: made css map, want to playtest? say yes / no and a day that suits you.

It looks really really cool!

Id like to test it when you finish in CS GO.

Absolutely not! Sunday.

Too much yellow lighting!

Scotch beat me to it. The current lighting removes so much depth from the architecture and makes it pretty dull. It looks a lot better in the Hammer screenies.

Should have made it clear. We're on stage 2. Stage 1 was textures and 2 is models, stage 3 is lighting which we're not going to do until CS:GO is out and stage 4 is effects and polish of previous stages.

The whole level is using the same light everywhere lol. Isn't the fact that there's floating lights with no models a sign of that? I thought you guys were mappers XD Though I do appreciate you pointing these things out cause I'll need your thoughts for gameplay.

I want playtesters to test the "layout" to make sure it's fun, fair and balanced. Only a few will do but I expect Hunter to be there :> Or must I really use my IOU which you declined last time despite the fact it said you had to devote as much time as I require :D

So far Saturday is popular. What time? :D

I see 2 votes for Sunday and only 1 for Saturday.

Myself, I don't care, if I can show up, I'll show up.

Sunday.

That map looks nice. Fine lighting!
Commented 12 years ago2012-08-01 08:47:18 UTC Comment #44836
lol I misread the comments, thought they were saying NOT sunday. That basically sums up why I shouldn't be reading these at 2am.

Anyway Sunday then. What time?

Thanks cstriker although it's all placeholder, a lot of the level is until I can grab my hands on CSGO.

Anyway I'll be hosting the server so it will probably be laggy for those outside the UK but worth a shot no? I tried it with bots and I'm happy with the layout which wasn't made by me I must stress but there's always the extra spark that players add. I'll have to clip all the naughty places away :P

Well, I can say I probably would only be awake from 00:00-16:00 GMT.
If I show up. And that that doesn't kill any Americans/Europeans.

Fine, something like...2:00PM GMT Sunday.

Well, looks like I can't make it. :(
Commented 12 years ago2012-08-03 15:06:43 UTC Comment #44838
Ah dont worry about it, I've played with bots so much I'm happy with the layout but I'm just curious to see what humans can do to abuse the level heh.

Not to mention Valve just announced a workshop for CSGO so when it comes out you can subscribe to our level and it'll auto update it for you so we can test it more.
