Hello everyone,
During the past couple of days I've been working on csp_aim_pistol. Some of you may wonder what happened to the old version I was working on. Well Alba and I simply decided to start the map over from scratch since we weren't happy with the layout.
Thus, what I'll show you here is a fresh new map started a few days ago. That means: a new layout and a new theme!

[October 14]

Alba sent me the basic layout of the map so I can start working on it the next day, this is how it looked like then:

First hours of work on the map, I had a pretty good theme idea in mind for the map, did a bunch of stuff:

That's it for now, hope you like it! I'll make sure to keep this thread updated regularly with new screenshots

[blackaddR]

Looks awesome! What sort of environment/setting, will be in?

[sIMson]

Nice ^^ waiting to see it fully textured :D Btw. is it still planned to be an oil platform?

EDIT: LoL, just read about the theme change, sorry (tired with looking for a bug in my program, me stupid failed to notice that I wrote: while(ptr++) instead of: while(*ptr++) in an implementation of strlen(). The best thing is that I copied that function from another program and it was ok there:/ ) waiting for the answer about the theme them :D

[WildBeast]

Seems pretty confusing...

[blackaddR]

Nice ^^ waiting to see it fully textured :D Btw. is it still planned to be an oil platform?

Oooh didn't read upon that - Never mind.

[sIMson]

Oooh didn't read upon that - Never mind.

Edited and corrected already :)

[alba]

The theme now is desert-like. Red rocks and sand ground and gravel. All custom textures :)

[Redstar]

Basically the map will be a part of some kind of bunker/military base. Using a mix of concrete, red rocks and sand textures, just like alba said

[[EA]]

Looks very nice!

You get a thumbs up from me! :-)

[Vainglory]

Can't wait!

[smilesger]

Awsome Work! :o...
Good to see another playable sandbased map ;)...
Will there be a snow based remake too ?
would be cool :)

and nice to hear, that this will use only custom textures!

[lerio]

ns !

[smartin]

cool stuff

[kenobi]

Great work! Map looks awesome already :)

[element13]

Keep up the nice work! Can't wait! :)

[haGisson]

good work, and a good way to test custom textures

[PutridBeing]

I personally think the map is a little too big and open for a pistol oriented map. I understand that long range shooting is important but there are rare instances where shooting a usp vs. glock at that distance happens.

[alba]

It's not long range at all. It might seem big but it's a small map.

1on1, aztec, doubledoors? :P

[PutridBeing]

1on1, aztec, doubledoors? :P
Did you miss the word rare? Most T's are smart enough not to try a long range battle with a CT unless they have a usp as well.

[haGisson]

i was just kidding ;)

[brainz]

i love it :D nice work guys...

[SirK]

good job so far!
need my own thread^^
*let the games begin*

[haden]

i dont understand why u guys are wasting your time with aim maps which could be made by the community? Are there no plans to implement more remakes of offical counterstrike maps? aztec etc.



just criticism.

[yuri]

Among many other things: because official aim maps is something new in the CS world?

[alba]

just criticism.
they ARE MADE BY THE COMMUNITY.

[haGisson]

they're not only made by the community, the whole aim-map-project is called COMMUNITY PROJECT

[NsAw]

Good shit! yet the map should be simple to suck:hot:

[amogan]

Black Mesa.

[Mith]

hahaha my thoughts exactly

[alba]

Black Mesa.

Well played, Freeman.

[haden]

fine, but have rennamed it for stupids like me:-)
sry

we already had that one in the german forums ;)

[n69ky]

true, ben'n'mack should begin with mapping! GOGO bennmack!

damn ...alba, I ...I can't withstand....

[SirK]

spam69ky is back =)

// offtopic end

will post my screens for aim_map today

[alba]

Sirk, get on steam, I got stuff for you.

[SirK]

im at work atm, will be home at 5 pm

[alba]

Slacker! :D


Little sneak peek at the metallic boxes we're going to use for csp_aim_pistol
http://alba.cspromod.com/temp/csp_micro_textures0000.jpg

:)

[SirK]

me likes =)
do i get my own boxes ? xDDDD

[alba]

You will. All in due time ;)

[fleafunk]

I like the metallic boxes!

[SirK]

hooray for alba =)

[haGisson]

weeee, me likey :)

[puddin1]

I think....

Level ground in middle>low ground in middle

think of all the good aim maps with low ground in the middle...... yeah not many

this of all the good aim maps with a flat middle.... yeah.....

I think that hills on aim maps make them.....awkward...

Just my opinion...
I love that you gave us an update and that you are doing work...
<3

[Avenger87]

awesome indeed :) good job!

Thank you Ted for the nice crate model! The model isn't completely done yet so it'll most likely change a bit, alba will redo some of its textures and make different variations.
Next things on my todo list:
-clean the displacements surrounding the map
-Make some blend textures and ground displacements
-Model the miradors in 3ds max
-Finish texturing and start the detailing and lighting part

I'll keep you guys updated whenever I have new screens!

ps: Updated the OP with the latest screenshots

[Matuka]

Jesus fucking christ that looks amazing!

[[EA]]

Redstar, I want you to be the bearer of my next child.

[j0lt]

Good stuff man!

[smilesger]

very cool!
shit! :D I've gotta go to school :D...

[n69ky]

I like!

[flow]

Yesss! :D

[nki1]

Looks very good. But the box texture seems to be different than the first version shown from alba here? Imo it looks much better.

[n69ky]

those are no box testures, those boxes are models!

[Vanish]

/me likes..

[twiddler]

Never a lack of excitement when I check how things are progressing.

[Ipath]

very nice looks good :)

[downbad]

what the hell is a mirador?

[tiger]

what the hell is a mirador?

"observation tower"

[yuri]

It reminds me HL1 a lot, neato :)

[Mazzer]

csp_siege

[alba]

[Redstar]

Alright so I just began working on the model, things are slowly starting to take shape:

:)

Hey alba, are these actual size or are they floating?

[n69ky]

this just looks wired because of the textures.

[blackaddR]

this just looks wired because of the textures.

agreed. is there gonna be like a blend between the floor and thewalls like the csp_nuke cliff walls?

[n3krO]

Floating boxes, nice idea for cspromod hahahha xD
