[CS:GO]Death Valley

[Smurftyours]

You need to add cubemaps and build them for those props to stop doing that.

[Dives]

Why are you compiling it with both HDR and LDR? Theres no way to turn off HDR and CS:GO won't even run on a computer incapable of HDR.

For the props, sticking an env_cubemap somewhere in the map will fix that.

[Fi3nD]

Command line:

Code: Select all

$light_exe -both -final -textureshadows -StaticPropLighting -StaticPropPolys -game $gamedir $path\$file

Its the Default Full compile in hammer. I'm just guessing sense it says -both, it means HDR an LDR. Seeing as -hdr is just HDR an -ldr is LDR.

Ha, Didn't even think about that. Forgot I had the same problem in CS:S with some models. Thanks I'll give it a try.

Not sure why Valve just dont just change -both to just -hdr from the vrad option. Its like something they leave there on purpose to sabotage noobs getting into the level editor.

Got a problem '$alphatest 1' gets rid of the shadows but it also gets rid of bullet holes an blood spray showing up on the textures. An bots can see through the displacements(shooting me from half way across the map). Once I take the '$alphatest 1' out of the .vmt bullet holes show up an blood an bots can't see across the map but the shadows are back. Anyone know how to fix this?


Everything is done just this one problem...

[Dives]

Ah ha! Looking though Valve's materials I found a better way to do it than the way I suggested before.

"%compileNoShadows" 1

Replace $alphatest with that and it should solve the problem.

[Fi3nD]

Tried it with an without quotes. It didn't work. Maybe it only works in L4D2 an not CS:GO?

Here's the .vmt:

Code: Select all

WorldVertexTransition
{
$basetexture "desert/rock2"
$basetexture2 "desert/sand"   
$surfaceprop "rock"
$surfaceprop2 "sand"
$blendmodulatetexture "nature/blend_texture_01"
$envmaptint "[ 0 0 0]"
$envmap "env_cubemap"
%compileNoShadows 1
}


[Dives]

Damn, the material Valve used that parameter on was LightmappedGeneric. Must not work with WorldVertexTransition. Only with thing I can think of is to rebuild the displacements so the sand sews with the road.

This was the contents of Valve's "concretefloor038a_noshadow".

Code: Select all

LightmappedGeneric
{
$basetexture "concrete\concretefloor038a"
$surfaceprop concrete
"%compileNoShadows" 1
}

Was hoping to release this on Monday. But oh well..

Custom one.

Really? I still don't like that one. It's just so dark looking and it doesn't blend well with the map.

Never set a release date for your map. Just work on it until it's where you want it, then release it.

[Fi3nD]

taking the week off lol . Remade the displacements just have to screw with the road to get it the way I want it to look.

[dreamaurua]

cool! really neat atmosphere, super inspiring. reminds me of fy_(ranmbohulk?) or something similar. Although i do feel as you would benefit from some more foliage ( even though its a desert ). finding someone to model a ( cactus flower / odd roots & dried up plants ) would in my opinion turn your map around. if possible, it would be nice to see a few directional decals like darker cris crosses or semi circles to make the sand look pushed and a little more all around uneven. with the help of a few decals from some smaller rocks and pebbles, just to toss it up a bit. hope i could offer some cool ideas for you

[DonPunch]

I think you should completely cover the road in some places, its still too uniformed for such a chaotic environment.

This is why we use these things called 'versions'. Release it, take the pressure off yourself. Update freely.

It is a remake of fy_rambohulk.
If anyone knows of someone out there who wants to model some cacti an some dead plant I would be much obliged? An a hulk, I have a ported hulk model, but some sites wont host my map if the content is port (cough* cough* gamebanana) Last Rain

Ya if you look at some the older pics, going to make it look like that. Just felt like seeing what it looks like with the whole road. Its does look to uniformed.

I released it a couple a weeks ago. Did a name change an a over haul on the displacements. I took it off gamebanana but its still on my webpage. If anyone can find it. ar_desert
