That's an insanely good map, good job i'm impressed.

Hey Freyja, Nice to see it is still alive after all those years, think I worked on that map since 2014, crazy how time flies. I have to say I really like the turn you've taken on point C, the feeling of progression is way better the way it is right now. Overall I think the map is pretty solid...

JP dis is a very weird chateau you've got there. Regards, Rav.

Looks pretty cool.

Been a while since I posted something here. First, the most basic thing is to understand the gameplay concepts behind every gamemodes and the game itself, if you don't fully understand how a map works, in terms of flow and guidance, then you have learn these concepts right now, because you...

Yup, miswording here ^^, it's preferable to speak about visleaves than visclusters indeed :) even if vvis is merging the leaves into clusters during the compilation. Also note that the amount of calculation is determined by the amount of portals and not by the amount of leaves. VBSP create the...

There are two kind of optimization. In-game optimization Compilation time optimization In-game optimization can ruin your compilation time. As Idolon said, using hint brushes will slow down a lot your compilation time simply because you might create more visclusters than vvis would do on it's...

Yeah and it's been 4 years since he posted that message. Times flies right ?

The only important question is "Why not ?"

Teaming up with @skacky for the contest :)

From a level designer perspective, the perfect level is a level that plays well without any visual cue whatsoever, the players get attracted to the objective and just look at what they have to look unconsciously. You have to understand that textures/lights/props/overlays and such are small...

You're not forced to use a standard size for your displacements, as long as both of the vertices are touching each other and you use the same power you're fine. Use power 2 as a standard, most of the time you will have small displaced brushes and a power of 3 is getting useless under 256 units.

I really shouldn't hype this up, but here we are.

Oh ok, then put them by experience, for a pl map you want to put ammos where the engineers have to build their stuff, it's really a try and error process, change them when you have to tweak the gameplay. But for a first test, put them in an area where you want to see the players congregate...
