New Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Pics Released

[Gary]

-csm_quality <int>

int = 1,2,3,etc.


Was reading around.

[srredfire]

Is that a command or what? Because I couldn't find it in-game.

I did see cl_csm_status though and that gives a readout of the stats

Code: Select all

cl_csm_enabled: 1
Render targets allocated: 1
Depth texture resolution: 2048
SupportsCascadedShadowMapping: 1
SupportsShadowDepthTextures: 1
CSMQuality: 0
env_cascade_light entity exists: 1
Shadow direction: 0.470105 0.438380 -0.766044


Also there are commands like this as well:

Code: Select all

"+csm_rot_x_neg"  client                                                       
"+csm_rot_x_plus"  client                                                       
"+csm_rot_y_neg"  client                                                       
"+csm_rot_y_plus"  client                                                       
"-csm_rot_x_neg"  client                                                       
"-csm_rot_x_plus"  client                                                       
"-csm_rot_y_neg"  client                                                       
"-csm_rot_y_plus"  client 

I tried using them thinking maybe you could rotate the shadows or move them somehow in real time but they didn't do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Also interesting, there is a "createflashlight" command which does infact create a lightspot of sorts, although it does not cast shadows on anything.

[joe_rogers_11155]

The lighting becomes even less of the problem since the sun casts dynamic shadows.

i thought that this was not entirely true. i thought they were using both CSM and lightmapped environmental light. remember those palm trees in the dust map that had both dynamic and lightmapped shadows at the same time? i thought something like that would also be happening in the lake map, with lightmapped sunlight coming through the hypothetical house demolition model.

Sorry, it's a launch option. Rightclick CS:GO in steam -> Properties... -> Set Launch Options...

I don't recall the env_projectedtexture that command spawns ever casting shadows.

True... but, hasn't this problem been solved in EP2? I don't recall any lighting errors when those houses blew up.

Weird that if I put my map into CSGO, the dynamic sun shadows are enabled on models and the viewmodels, but brushed based geometry still casts normal lightmapped stuff:



Gah, I can't wait for the authoring tools.

Bigass new update.

http://store.steampowered.com/news/7552/

Gonna go get screenies of new stuff now, particularly that new map St. something. Also, de_dust2_se looks a great idea.

This week’s update includes de_dust2_se. You will be able to access it through the map command “map de_dust2_se” in the console. This is a version of Dust2 with the fog off, props removed, cables removed, and particle effects removed. It was created especially for pro-competitive play and leagues.

Also they posted a blog post to go with it, which is interesting; a lot of people have complained that Valve are ignoring feedback so perhaps this is an indirect response...

I have been experimenting with the new dynamic lighting with a custom map, going to make some cinematic destruction with 3dsmax rayfire see how it all turns out

[Zecrah]

[Armageddon]

First off, Left 4 Dead 2.

Secondly.


Stop reusing assets Valve kthx.

[srredfire]

Reminds me a bit of Dead Island later in the game.

[Zecrah]

I can't help but think that there is too much light for a sky that is seriously overcast too.

I particularly like the new hostage models. And the chicken.

[Armageddon]

CHICKEN!!! That is how a map remake should look.

[TheDanishMaster]

I just came. Cant wait to get my hands on that game and tools

[source-maps]

can we shoot the chickens?

[Text_Fish]

Do the hostages lose their blindfolds and shackles when a CT activates them?

Also, do the chickens have large talons?
