Minecraft Map (Yup you heard it!) For CS Created 12 years ago2012-04-11 11:36:36 UTC by Ghost129er

Hey all, gonna start off making a Minecraft Map for Counter Strike Source. Just before we get started I will tell you that:
I'm not the best and usually require help with skyboxes and skybox maps
I'm not the best and usually require help with water and env maps/etc
I'm not the best and usually require help with other interesting features.

If you could advise me on this process and give me suggestions, that would be appreciated by me A LOT.

Anyways, gonna start off by making an NPC village, might use shortcuts and will show!

Well I can tell from experience that trying to copy-paste cubes is definitely not going to work. In a map the size of a big room you're already going to experience low FPS.

Unfortunately if you really want to make a map like that you're going to have to trace the outline of the cubes, which is some tedious work. But there are more problems involved: it's also how vvis computes the viewable space or how vrad computes the light. Even if you're going to transform those "cubes" in func_detail brushes, vrad is still going to do a lot of calculations. I suppose that's not a big issue with your brand new processor though...

Or perhaps use prop_static cube props? I never tried that, it might work, but then again you'll fill up your map quickly and it won't be very playable...

Im not really gonna use cubes throughout the process im gonna make rectangles and just texture them, but i've got a BIG problem, for some reason, i cant get any of my .vft and .vmts working!!! if i make my own, they're black and pink, if i download for trying they're also black and pink. WTH? Its annoying! I NEVER HAD THIS PROB!

I will upload a set and pls try to see if it works
Thanks

Hey all, nvm, the textures are working, but when I try to run the map (unlike other maps) I get this funny error, that:

I cant get this error at all with other maps! Any suggestions?

Well, I'd certainly say that file path is fucked for one...

huh? other maps work! Its just this map that REFUSES to f9.

TWHL's crappy programming strips out the slashes, Urby. Whoever made this thing is an idiot.

Help?

Nvm, I checked this site:
http://www.interlopers.net/errors
and it gave me a log error check, I had way too many brushes XD 27935 brushes!
lol decreasing now...

Sigh, lost alot of details like trees and mountains... sigh, need make a V2 after this! now compiling!

27935!?

You didn't actually make the floor up of individual blocks right? Because that will completely rape your compile times.

Uh I made it of rectangles...

Wait so... each and every block in the map is its own block of brushwork? Is it to scale, as in, 1 block = 1 meter?

That'd be totally wrong. Blocks on the floor can simply be illustrated by a texture.

Exactly. Build your map the usual way, making up flat surfaces with one brush. That would reduce your brushes massively.

If however you wanted it all to be destructible like in Minecraft... yeah, no. You'd have better luck coding Counter-Strike's systems into Minecraft.

Lol yeah.. so uh is it possible to make all the separate shapes into one? Without grouping that is.
Thanks!

Counter-Craft has a certain jingle to it.

Hey all, good news! I have almost finished my Minecraft map! It just needs buyzones where either the T or Ct spawns! Water is also now done and I have added trees! Video Uploading as we speak! Night Version also to come out!
-Ghost129er

News:
Added Water
Added lights in homes/Huts
Added Buy-zones
Added Wall of obsidian around village
Removed Herobrine
Added Explosive TNT boxes (suggest traps and etc)
Added breakable glass windows, and breakable goodies! (no weapons, sorry sucker)

-Ghost129er

Removed Herobrine

lol

So is this uploaded yet?

Increased Spawns to 7CT's and 7T's
Added Obsidian Wall (TRAPPED FOR EVA!)
Added Cat by C418, playable music!
Added FEW trees
Added Doors

Video Uploading as we speak!

Sure is taking a while...

The vid got canceled cuz it went on sleep, still uploading! Its 14.8 GB, I use fraps, as it is the smoothest video recorder!

And also, should I use player clips to make the stairs work properly? Because you have to jump on every stair, suggestions pls!
Ghost129er

14GB? Just how long is this video
If you're uploading the uncompressed video straight out of fraps, you shouldn't. Run it through a video editor to reencode it and it'll be much much smaller in size but there shouldn't be any noticeable quality difference.

Aren't there like 5 of these already? Quite popular as well.

Yes, there are some maps, and ive played a deathrun minecraft map.

Some people at Sven COOP even started a project of a totally destructable MC map in the game. But they never finished it.

This is my try of creating kz_minecraft long time ago
It sucks
BTW
try using Camtasia Studio 7

Mine is some what distructable, some parts, the vid, I will cancel and reupload a smaller one, the compiling is been on for at least 1 and a half hours, and now stuck at
Portal Flow: 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...
Just keep waiting Just keep waiting Just keep waiting waiting waiting...

BTW Lajron , I dont think that minecraft has bridges like that.. Just saying, but looks good

Will upload photos after compiling and finish it there.

After this, no more editing, I will just upload the thing, CS_Minecraft_Final

-Ghost129er

GUYS! FINALLY! Map done.
Uploading it to site, with all files needed, btw it has custom textures, I included all that in a .zip with the map, but I heard that there is some other way of exporting so you dont need to zip all textures, am I wrong? but still uploading it, and vid is also uploading, compressed it and made the whole vid 246MB

Heres the vid, its still being processed:
