Current State:

Team beta testing should be underway hopefully tomorrow, although we have been having a lot of trouble getting some Professional/Intermediate Australian teams to test it. We are also going to be doing a lot of custom texturing once we have the layout exactly how we want it, so look forward to that. Oh also, this is a CS:S map that we are going to port over to CSP (I have been planning to do this since we started on it).

Check out our blog (hasn't been updated in awhile, will do it tomorrow): www.ht-studios.com/devlog/

looks really good

[jonasd]

Keeep it comming.

[rcgnz]

Can see it becoming big vctm. wd on progress and hope to see it in gglive soon :D

[SpikeMeister]

Mens, put it on gglive

[vctm]

GG Live = clusterfuck for map testing.

But it'll be on there soon enough.

[SpikeMeister]

Well it's a pretty good system for getting a general consensus, maybe not exact and specific feedback. You just have to be able to filter out all the "this is shet br0 sawce is ded" etc

[rcgnz]

It's not the best for map testing.
I know that finding professional teams to test it is probably the best way to really show the competitive pros and flaws of the map.

just want to see it on gglive so we can play it :D

[vctm]

Finally got some real testing done!

We managed to get a bunch of Professional Australian players in (and a few other long time players) and had two games on it. It wasn't teams, but for some reason I think it's better to just use a bunch of people who know each other than two real teams going at it. Really helpful, we're changing a fair bit of stuff around now and making it better than ever!

[SirK]

looks good^^
new (highres) screens, beta, flythrough?^^

[TUROcKdev]

the overview is not bad :)

[vctm]

^ Coming eventually. Just reworked like half the map and we're going to start testing on it tonight. Look forward to it.

[wHEElEr]

this map looks sexy vctm. great job :)

[1nfern0]

looks great, man. Looking forward to trying it out in some scrims.

[vctm]

Couple new devlog posts, new overview too!

Check it out: http://www.ht-studios.com/devlog/

RC1 should be out next week.

[SpikeMeister]

Looks good, looking forward to playing it. Are you planning on doing detail work after the layout is finalised or are you doing it as you go?

[vctm]

^ We're going to try get another scrim or two on it tonight if all goes well. If we think the layout is good, we'll do some final detail work (skybox, lights, sounds, custom textures) and then we will release RC1 (Release Candidate 1) publicly.

Oh and just so you guys know, those screenshots in the first post are over 10 beta's old! A fair bit has changed since then.

[vctm]

Releasing the CS:Source RC1 version of this tomorrow :).

[n69ky]

whats the point releasing it for CSS?
i will not test anything on css..

[rcgnz]

This map is originally for CSS.
vctm, being a fan of csp, is remaking this map for csp when its complete.
(just assumed a shit load there lol soz vctm)

[vctm]

Nope, you're right ;D.

[SirK]

gogog release the damn thing^^

[vctm]

Haha only an hour or two away now!

[n69ky]

you wrote that 6 hours ago!

FAIL!! YOU LIAR!! SHIT MAP!! YOU PROMISED!!!









how does it feel, when there is a delay and sum ppl go crazy?
does it hurt?
does it make you wanna delete all your stuff? :P

[vctm]

LOL.

You can download the CS:S version of it here: http://www.gotgames.com.au/news/Introducing-de-blizzard-to-GGLIVE-516/

CSP version won't be for a while, although you should be able to play that version in CSP fine.

[TUROcKdev]

I played de_blizzard in css vs bots and I must say this is a good map =) but I have to set up the gamma to the highest in some situations but its OK :)
hope I can play this map vs other guys :)

[vctm]

Bump for those that missed it:

DOWNLOAD THE CS:S VERSION HERE: http://www.ht-studios.com/downloads/de_blizzard_rc1.zip

[SirK]

btw you cant play this version in csp, the hdr is fucked up like it was in csp_canals.
other than that , nice layout, but you really have to improve the visuals (i know its rc1^^).

not really sure of anyone who plays source/csp with hdr...

[SirK]

neither do i. but if you compile a map with some fucke up settings it looks like this

nothing to do with the compiling of the map. cubemaps were only built for ldr, not hdr

[n69ky]

I think it's OB fixed.

[SirK]

if thats so, why are my cubemaps normal? no matter with which game they are made? looks weird^^

[Fletch]

not exactly sure what youre saying

the only reason its all bright and shiny with hdr enabled is because its using default hdr cubemaps. its a 5 second fix for the next version anyway

[TUROcKdev]

and 1 lamp with light is a bit low for a factory hall... :D

[vctm]

rc2 is going to look a lot different than rc1 ;) - We've done a bit of work on it already.

[SpikeMeister]

Sounds good, RC1 is really fun on pug

[vctm]

rc2 is really coming along after just a couple days. We've covered our biggest hurdle, our theme change. We're now readjusting most of the map with gameplay tweaks. The layout will remain quite similar to what it is in rc1, but wherever you go you'll be like "wow that's changed".

[hxcguitarist]

Should update the OP with a link directed towards CSP_harvest :)
