Art Diary/Status [November 12]

[alba]

Alrighty, much like the previous devlog from me, I'm going to list the things I'm currently working on and the things previously done right below that and as the title states, pretty much like a diary, I'll list the completion status of each item and make sure everything is up to date so you guys can kinda guess where I'm at in terms of art development :)

[haGisson]

screens would have been nice...

[alba]

I'm going to update the media page tomorrow with all the screenshots I've done up until now and order them properly and might take some new ones. The problem is I can't really reveal things we're still working on because stuff change a lot and some people might see a concept and imagine it's in straight away and would whine if it might or might not be present in the upcoming beta. I'll try to post pictures though, right now I'm way too tired but I'll see what I can do :-)

[haGisson]

good night then ;)

[Mudrich]

Been waiting for this. Hopefully we get some cool screens tomorrow.

[mKaaru]

looking at all that wip it for the mod itself it seems the upcoming public csp rc will prolly be an early 2010 at best? curious as to those screens of your recent work dude, nice job

[Spritz]

When alba said he was going to post a dev-log soon, I thought it would never come.

I spilled my coffee when I saw there really was a dev-log from alba.

I unspilled my coffee when I saw the content.

Just show some things you've made, or what you are working on. Not this lame percentages.

[ari12609]

im still waiting for the complete 1.04 Beta changelog ... but i think i cant see this in 2009 :( ...

time will tell

[yuri]

im still waiting for the complete 1.04 Beta changelog
You will see it along with 1.04b.
btw prepare your seat its gonna be long reading ;)

[Lordearon]

Thanks for the post Alba, looking forward for the screens tomorrow!

[MaveN]

[0%] In-game admin menu concept.
sounds nice :) #waiting for the screens now

There's a really simple fix for that. Put it under a tab called W.I.P. Done!

[derWalter]

how can i create the bomb symbol?

im grafic artist and studiing on art university vienna, so im capable of this job :P

wich format should i export from my ps/flash?


pls send me a pm!

[bryaNNN]

i like this you should keep us up to date more often. good work. i love you.

[smartin]

btw, he won't post screens unless shit's done yo.

[element13]

An animated background, nice! :D

An animation of what though... I wonder... Can't wait to see it! :)

[Mystifax]

nice!

Like I said after the leaked video not the whole work of alba has been shown ;))

[ColdSauce]

yeah yeah yeah ;D gogogo ! nice <: I think this would be the best mod ever ;D

[cesna]

Well done guys :) Still waiting 1.04 this year

[free]

Well done.

Sure we all would love to see more screens or even videos (not mentioning the beta itself) but any information is a lifesaver for us.

I'm glad you want to implement the idea of an admin menu. I wonder how configurable will it be form the servers side.

Good Job.



wich format should i export from my ps/flash?
Unless they've modified the game to use non standard files for hud content you need to create a font character.
All hud elements are font characters (i.e. steam\steamapps\youremail\counter-strike source\resources\cstrike.ttf or other font files listed in clientscheme.res file).

[VIDEN]

Thx for the update alba :)

okay, so we have wait longer ONLY!!! because the bombsymbol,... i knew it :evil:

[smartin]

[shumped]

clouds.

and rainbows.

and happy shiny flying unicorns.

[alba]

Booya, I'm up and working on shit, will post here whenever I get the media page updated and if I have any news screenshots :)

[shumped]

it appears that you accidentally the forum.

[adz]

awesome

[Meadsy4]

The Animated background? I assume that going to be like on HL2 where it shows Headcrabs and Zombines walking about.

It would be cool to see actual gameplay on the Gui, like terrorists rushing Up banana, owning some CT's In B then The remaining CT's pop some heads and defuse the bomb. With a fixed camera view at the back of B looking towards CT Spawn / Top of Banana.

Anyway just an idea that popped in to my head. Nice touch anyway Alba, keep it up.

[Lordearon]

Brantastic!

[sevoii]

Hmm, niesh

[simK]

Ça avance pas trop mal, mais j'ai l'impression que le mod n'est pas prêt de sortir... Le design a pas mal changé de puis la beta 1.03 mais quid du gameplay ? Il était très décevant sur la version précédente, si rien n'a changé depuis la communauté n'adoptera pas cette version non plus.

Bref, j'espère que les "insider" de cspromod bossent bien la dessus pour nous prouver que tout votre travail n'est pas vain!

================================================== ===============================

Nice going not too bad, but I feel that the mod is not ready to be release ... The design has changed a lot of the Beta 1.03 but what about the gameplay? It was very disappointing on the previous version, if nothing has changed now, the community will not adopt this version i think...

Well, I hope that the "insider" of cspromod bossent well above to prove that all your work is not vain!

[HZA]

You'll get a cookie, if you finish it before of the end of the year :P

[RATpope]

since this is getting alot of attention iv decided to ask the question of can you throw nades thru the windows of wat ithink is b bombsite?

[communistkitten]

I havent been on this site in a long time, its glad to see your still making progress

[messey]

Will it come out 2009? :|

[MaveN]

Media update pls :)

[hxcguitarist]

You progress at a rather rapid rate Alba O_O Glad to see how fast you get through your list of stuff to do :P

[MaveN]

the topic is up2date every time - gj alba
can't wait to see the result of your work

[nice123]

Would like a log like this about recoil...

[Leon]

Screens .. pleasseeee :twisted: :) :evil: :lol: hehe

[haGisson]

fix all emoticons in the set or change it back to the old ones alba

[MaveN]

Screens .. pleasseeee :twisted: :) :evil: :lol: hehe
if i see alba's smileys side on side with the normal smileys i have to say:
the old ones look better - i know selfmade rocks the most

[smartin]

fuck the old ones.
they remind me of this shit:



helo when comes mod ??!? :lol:

[Leon]

There are more important than the smilies ... ;)

Need more time for the game, hehe.

[CREDiBLE]

Brilliant. Simply brilliant, Alba.

You're seem to be a really hard working guy - as the rest of the team, of course. And I want you to know that i appriciate that. Thanks for your efforts, and the awesome results you've presented so far, and yet another thousand thanks for the continued efforts you put into both the project and keeping us posted both here and on twitter. Love that, man. Love that.

I really like your style, both the website and the HUD you have posted screenshots of. My only concern is that is seemed kinda childish with all the colors and a kinda tacky font, but I guess you've got it under control. As long as there's a decided and coherent pattern to it, I won't be on your ass about it ;)

[Finess]

The only thing I'm concerned or worried about is the gameplay... At least it seems to me that you're focusing a lot on the gui, the homepage and customizations in-game at the moment. When I last played the mod, I thought the biggest issue was the feeling, the gameplay itself. To be honest 1.6 looks like pure shit, but the gameplay compensates this fully. I'm afraid of the opposite here, that the focus on producing nice screenshots for the community is taking focus from the gameplay. I've been following this project in periods, not reading all your changelogs carefully, so I might be wrong. But let's just hope you did something about the most crucial parts, I guess time will tell...

"The game itself will be out soon"... Thought that meant a week or two when I first read it, now i realize that it means before the end of the year.

[alba]

Thanks CREDiBLE and don't worry about it, It's all about consistency and make sure things work and as I've said many times, nothing is set in stone and I'm always changing a few things here and there so overtime things can only get better.

As for you Finess...
That's actually something most people overlook and get wrong. The gameplay is and will always be the focus of things. Yes I am focusing a lot of the GUI/HUD and homepage and customizations in-game because that's my part of things. Most of the look stuff and scripting I do on my own so that doesn't take away any time from any of the coders. Some people might not know this but d0ublethink helps the coding process to :)

Making art assets take less time than all the coding process, bug testing and all the research gone into making sure all the gameplay stuff we do be as close as possible to 1.6 and get the whole feel right just take a long time and a combination of everything really.

[smartin]

Us beta testers are having a hectic period of research right now. Hopefully we'll be able to give the coders enough material to make the game feel better. Like alba said, the roles are divided. So nobody's actually hindered by anyone else. Hope I made myself clear.

[puddin1]

Whats wireframe radar overview 0.o ?

Also is the new smiley set really necessary? whats wrong with the old ones?

[alba]

[alba]

Everyone, we added the jobs page on the website now, TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Help us make csp better!

[nice123]

Weren't you looking for a player animator?

[PutridBeing]

Everyone, we added the jobs page on the website now, TELL YOUR FRIENDS! Help us make csp better!
You should make that a news post. It'll get noticed a lot quicker.

[haGisson]

i posted it on the biggest german scene website. should be there in the headlines section in a few hours


Weren't you looking for a player animator?
maybe the models are mostly animated now ;)

[alba]

I just updated the media page with all the screenshots we released so far. Might make a few new ones soon, we're doing quite a bit of work on every front these days :)

[nGd01k]

yap nice GL alba xD

[element13]

Hey alba, what do you think of this idea?

I'm sure you could make a better design than this, but you get the idea.

(Rounds and Score at the top of a players screen, OR if you think it's distracting, maybe on the scoreboard?)

[tiger]

Would be nice for the CSP TV (and client cvar'd) but not when you're playing.

[ExoFun]

yea i think it better works @ the HLTV

[element13]

I just thought it would be good to know the score of the game you're playing in.

Currently, the scoreboard just shows (Status, Money, Score, Kill, Death, Errors, Ping). You're usually keeping score during matches, but when you're just scrimming or pugging, you sometimes just forget. The round restarts and nobody on your team remembers what the score was because they weren't paying attention or something. A simple fix, add a way to be able to know what the score for both halves were. (It would be something like: "16 T" ------- " 11 CT)

[alba]

You know the scoreboard serves a purpose in this game. Besides doing that in client mode would fuck up the weapon selection, we don't have all the space we want. I think the scoreboard works good enough for that. Though, that'll be included in cspTV in the future obviously.

[element13]

You are RIGHT. lol. I forgot about the weapon selection! :D

Hmmm.... maybe it would be good if the round score just didn't restart after an "mp_restartround".... somehow... :?

[tiger]

Agreed. The score shouldn't be restarted in the scoreboard (only the CT and T scores, the players stats should) after the first half.

[tiger]

And about the weapon selection, it'd be nice to add a cvar like "hud_fastswitch 3" (since hud_fastswitch 2 already exists for nades) which would allow to fast switch with slot1, slot2 but not when using the mouse wheel. I don't think I'm the only one that's used to switching this way in 1.6.

I'm the same way. Assuming you're talking about the "leak", there's a way to get around it. There's a quick select option in the multiplayer options. Just make the quick select for primary weapons "1", secondary for "2", knife "3", etc. I thought this might conflict with the radio commands (C1: Roger That!), but it doesn't. :)

[PutridBeing]

I could see something like that working if it shows up at the beginning of each round during freezetime. Definitely not in game though.

It would be pretty awesome to have this at the start of each round during freeze time. Then it could fade out when as soon as buy time is over.

Not needed and maybe making things too complicated but... Maybe you can show the round number in red when a team needs 1 more win to GG. Or you could show round number in blue when blue team needs one more and round number in red when red team needs one more.

+1 really cool idea in my opinion, but just the first 5 seconds or so. Maybe have a console command(I know there is a lot) to set how long it lasts and 0 would disable it. Not really that important though I would be just as happy without it and the game released.

My 3 cents on csp score system.
How about adding some server commands like:

sv_match_status 0 - Default
sv_match_status 1 - Do not reset scores on mp_restartgame
sv_match_status 2 - Do not reset scores on mp_restartgame and do not record team wins

sv_match_maxrounds x - self explanatory

sv_match_roundnumber x - increases after each round played and when it equals sv_match_maxrounds match_status sets itself to 2

sv_match_start 1 - starts a default match and sets sv_match_status 1 and sv_match_roundnumber 0
sv_match_start 2 - starts a knifefight

[jonz]

for animated background i'd simply make a view of de_aztec (i know its not in csp, you could actually put the css one in there) while raining and storms slashing around u know, seems gay but its not that gay actually :\

[alba]

1) would eat up way too much memory
2) use css assets as a main background for csp, really?
3) hmmm no, sorry :P

oo clever!

alba wasnt there siome rumors about another devlog this month? oO @twitter :X


# RT: @albator: If everything goes according to plan, I should have my new devlog posted late tonight on the csp forums! #cspromod >:] 3:56 PM Nov 11th from web

[alba]

can't you read?


3:56 PM Nov 11th from web

This is the devlog.

but wasnt this a reply from someone to YOU :X

[alba]

nope, it's a retweet which means someone copy paste what I said to share it with more people.

[fingerling123]

Alba will "Automatically switch to more powerful weapons" disabled by default? I think it's kinda confusing when you buy a weapon you don't get in your hand automatically, it should be enabled by default like in normal cs.

autowepswitch on 1 is just plain stupid.
it will most definitely kill you in stressful situations when you accidentally a weapon.

Yeah but if you've got only one nade left you still have to select it.

Also, I'd like to be able to use +attack2 with the weapon selection without switching just like in 1.6.

[puddin1]

I actually like having auto switch to weapon on.... It could also kill you if you don't switch to a weapon fast enough ;)

[element13]

c wat i did thor.

I've been playing CS for YEARS, and not once has this bothered me. It's possible though. I've gotten use to it being set to 1, i just go around the weapon instead of picking it up in some situations, so that I don't get screwed over by the autoweaponswitch.

[SupriX]

I actually like having auto switch to weapon on.... It could also kill you if you don't switch to a weapon fast enough ;)

When you pick up a gun, it is in your inv instantly.This means that if you on purpose walked over the gun, you will be able to consciously press 1(maingun) just as fast as you would if you get it up automatically. Should you on the contrary tho, walk over a gun in a clutch situation, poof you have a gun with 0 bullets in the mag, gotta change back to the dgl, other guy hearing+shooting you = You are dead. When you have played CSS long enough for this to make any difference you will most likely have quick enough reflexes to do what i described (being as fast as autopickup).

Agree, I usually play with no auto switch for the exact reason you mentioned. But I don't care if it's default value or not.

Should you on the contrary tho, walk over a gun in a clutch situation, poof you have a gun with 0 bullets in the mag, gotta change back to the dgl, other guy hearing+shooting you = You are dead. When you have played CSS long enough for this to make any difference you will most likely have quick enough reflexes to do what i described (being as fast as autopickup).
Im not from england so please dont nerdrage on my typing. Ch33rs


Agree, I usually playing with no auto switch for the exact reason you mentioned.


+1 there are enemys waiting for you picking up something around the corner ;3

[1nfern0]

autowepswitch on 1 is just plain stupid.
it will most definitely kill you in stressful situations when you accidentally a weapon.
c wat i did thor.

gonna have to completely agree with smartin lol. I'm an open and understanding person, but honestly, if you play with it on you are making a big mistake. In competitive play anyways.

If you have no time to get behind cover (or any other means of delaying the enemy), then, most of the time, you can kill an opponent with a glock or usp faster than you can switch your weapon.

Yaw oi see what you did thar.

[drice27]

Alba, we want some pictures please?

[hxcguitarist]

Alba, we want some pictures please?

Go to the media section. He posted 7 shots of the HUD.

[wazer]

Well i think many of us know that they are old screenshots from http://www.moddb.com/mods/cspromod

But hey better than nothing ehmm?

[smartin]

Old?

[wazer]

Old?


ehh yes they were made Oct 10 or before.

[TUROcKdev]

made in stoneage :mrgreen:

[NortproN]

OJAA ANIMATED BACKGROUND +5% !!

[element13]

OJAA ANIMATED BACKGROUND +5% !!

Can't wait to see what alba did with the background! :D

[alba]

Hope you guys will like it, still tweaking some shit but the base image is mainly done. I just need to add the animated effects and fix it properly since the last one didn't fit this new image :)

[ravic]

Can't wait till CSP is released :). It will make cs enjoyable again.

For those who don't follow csp on twitter.

[MaveN]

i.. love.. that.. RADAR!
haa

[misfitmatt87]

I like net_graph 4 looks sexy, and doesn't interfere with the game hud.

[alba]

That's the reason we build it in the first place, net_graph was always in the way and really annoying :)

[misfitmatt87]

yah no kidding alba! I always liked having it on, but would have to move it up and down with commands, so I am happy to see that it was changed in csp.

[alba]

It is changed and you have control over its placement as well.

[haGisson]

one question about net_graph. will it be possible to have net_graph 5 for example, which is the same as net_graph 4 but without "in" and "out". in ESL net_graph is forbidden because from the in and out values you could tell wether some enemies are approaching. but with showfps you don't have correct information about the latency, choke and loss.

[MaveN]

take a look at the media section. some new screenshots =D (Gameplay)

I agree ! I wonder about the same thing! Just let it show fps, ping & chock / loss!

[PutridBeing]

Already told doublethink about the net_graph 5 idea and he said he already had plans of adding something like that. It'll most likely be in.

[alba]

We talked about that tonight, net_graph 5 will be the same "one line" net_graph we made except without the IN & OUT part so ESL can enforce net_graph 5 without problems :)

Also, tonight will finally mark the day where I can call our new main menu "100%" for the animated background, will let you guys know when I'm done, probably will have a screenshot up on here too, who knows :P

[haGisson]

hell yeah :D

[dem3nted]

=D Happy Face, can i kiss ya alba O.O

[fa1]

Nice, background finished ! =D Have you some screenshot?

That should probably be kept a surprise for the release, OR shown in a gameplay video. :)

[sevoii]

Hopefully worth the wait

nice man

[haGisson]

thx :)

Nice I love the eyerolling

waiting for a albaword!

[haGisson]

the eyerolling was the most difficult. i tried to keep it in the same style... made about 5 different ones until i was happy with this one

You know alba will probably redo those all :3

[haGisson]

haha... maybe ^^
but i think it'll do it for the moment

[TUROcKdev]

[NaapjusuN]

Update please ! :D

[Leon]

Jeah ... i can't wait.... hehe

[alba]

Don't freak out people. I'll update the list as soon as I get new shit done.

[alba]

Alright, updated it. Not much to brag about since we're starting our heavy testing phase so don't expect anything big to be done anytime soon until release time!

[CREDiBLE]

In Alba we trust! Love that you're keeping us posted on your work, even though it's been ~1 month since the last time. I think I speak on the behalf of the entire community when I say that without you're updates, we'd be close to despair. Thanks again : >

[yogurt]

screens will be fine

kkthx

[donlan]

All that green brings a tear to my eye

[criticals]

thanks for the update!

[shibble]

nicejob alba :D!

[hxcguitarist]

Thanks for the update :)

[tiger]

Do we have any chance to see the admin menu in 1.04? (as well as the buy menu)

[alba]

Nope will be with a patch or 1.05 (team selection/admin menu/buy menu) :)

[Merdiso]

Dear alba.Can you give us the 1.05 release date ? Sure, I don't want the exactly date (I know it's impossible), but I want, let's say the season.
For example: "CSP 1.05 will be probably released on Autumn" or "CSP 1.05 BETA will be released in next year". :D
Thanks in advance.

[smartin]

Why would you want an incredibly inaccurate release date in the first place Merdiso?

Please do not spam these forums with posts asking for a release date, thank you.

[n69ky]

lets see
releasedate between 2010 - 3000

[hxcguitarist]

Nice! I'll be looking forward to it in 3000 AD! :P

Honestly, it's done when it's done.

[Merdiso]

Why would you want an incredibly inaccurate release date in the first place Merdiso?

Please do not spam these forums with posts asking for a release date, thank you.

Hey, don't remember me the FAQ, I have read at least for 3 times every question, and I put this question only one time, I was not asking it in every topic, day by day.
BTW, I preffer to know a innacurate Release Date instead of this one : "It's done when It's done".
To be honest, I THINK the final version will be released on next year, but we'll see :D.
Firstly, we must test 1.04 in order to say if the game is ready for last modifications or not :D.

[element13]

No new buy/team select menu? It's a sad day...

Oh well :(

You should reconsider it though. This beta needs to be really good AND every detail counts. I don't care what anyone says. If this beta isn't a big hit, it's game over.

[alba]

New buy or team select menu is not going to kill the game. Man you need to set you priorities straight. I'm not a robot, I already work way too much so I'm sorry I can't do everything at the same time.

There's a lot of preparations needed behind the scene for the launch and a lot of other things.

Don't worry about the beta, it'll be fine. You just need to be patient.
