Final version of de_corse is released Created 18 years ago2006-04-06 13:27:07 UTC by satchmo

Many of you have already seen and played the beta version of this masterpiece. It's a CS:Source map, but not just any CS map. It may be the most ambitious and well-crafted CS map ever made to date.

However, the BSP is more than 100 MB. So it's not for the casual downloaders.

Download de_corse by Hessi.

Who will want to play 150mb map on the internet... just think of downloading it from the server... phew

It's not meant to be played on pub servers. Just download it and marvel at the mapping!

Looks godly, but he should've made it SP imo.

Fallingwater has a filesize 10 times smaller
The map is very nice, although I couldnt get some of the models to show up. Are there any significant changes in this version?

I just played a few rounds with bots, and the gameplay is just superb. All the models show up without any problem.

However, there are still a few glitches. It's quite unfortunate, because the map is otherwise flawless.

• I don't know why Hessi used the default "wasteland" sky, because you can clearly see the "seams" in the sky from most places in the map. This is the most blatant mistake.

• The texture on the displacement surface in the 3D skybox is stretched out too much. This is most obvious when you climb onto the sniper's tower at bombsite B.

• The background noise gets annoying after a while. Even though I only heard these cats meowing and dogs barking when I was walking alone in the map, they really became a nuisance after the first few seconds. The cat noises are especially bad, because it sounds like the cat is being neutered.

The framerates are very good in most places. There are a few spots where FPS drops down to the high 40's on my machine (with no bots), but it's still acceptable.

The .NAV mesh was tuned quite well, and the bots don't generally preoccupy themselves with too many stupid things.

He probebly wanted it to look like you look from far away.

...but it doesn't look very good or realistic that way.

Have you finished transforming Fallingwater to a cs_ map?

Wow that map is amazing! So large BSP, but worth it to see it. Its a marvel to behold!

Ill reserve my full ranting comments on this due to its filesize. Im sure its a pretty map but not a lot of things get a full 30 minutes of my connection thank you very much.

I'm working on it. As matter of fact, my Easter holidays started yesterday and I'm working on 4 different maps at once (for HL, HL2, HL2DM and CS:S).
The problem with Fallingwater is the time it takes to scan the map for possible bot paths and spots. I guess it happens to every big map out there. It must have been a pain for the author of de_corse too.
I'll try to keep the filesize even lower than the hl2 version.

Judgind by the screenshots - it looks fantastic. Love the green theme

Fuck me that looks incredible.

looks extremly good, but 150 mb..... no thanks. :

Even for the best CS:S custom map ever? Your loss.

I'm with painkiller, far too big, especially for us dialup users.

well just gimme 3 days it'll download eventually

nevermind

45.6 kbs download rate is acceptable.

be back in like 2 hours

I have a friend who's tuning the .NAV file for this map currently. Since this map won't be played on too many pub servers, we'll have to resort in playing with bots.

However, this guy will be putting this map into his server rotation in a bit...

I will have this map on my server by tonight.

You have a server? 0_O

It looks fantastic but maps with custom content are obviously going to be good. I've learnt this lesson so many times since every map I've come across with new content generally pwns all other maps.

That's not my server. That's JCap334's server.

IMO he should have picked a lot more imaginative theme. The whole "old town with bushes about" thing is a bit old, especially in CS.

i average about 11 fps on the map

i dont think im gonna be playing it online any time soon. I need my new cpu or another 512 stick of ddr ram.

11 FPS! What's your framerate on the official maps then? cs_militia? de_nuke? The performance on my machine is very reasonable.

Time for a new computer?
