      As a person that gets excessively nervous in real 5v5 competitive games, I love playing with bots and modifying them to wreck my ass with unfair aimbot and third eye advantages until I adapt to them and eventually dominate their AI without any repercussions at all. I could just stop the game whenever I wanted, or what if I don't want sniper preferring bots in my match? Easy, I'll just kick and add the bots I know use rifles and shottys more, mostly because I'm very familiar with cs's bots.
      In a way, the bots having the same name across all cs games make them feel like a family to me.
      Also because my mic sucks.

      Unfortunately that won't happen. Even if his map got textured and eventually even added on scrimmage/operation, it would never get into Active Duty Map Pool. Good examples of this are Season and Tuscan. Maps loved by community and even pros.
      Season was in 3 operations, Tuscan none. Both of them were popular in CSS. Both of them can be played in ESEA, but is there any point to queue a map that you have never played before?
      Counter-Strike community is so attached to its legendary maps like Dust 2 and Inferno to see that some of them are outdated and overplayed. You can constantly see Reddit posts of people complaining about Dust 2 being boring, but if CSGO devs actually removed it from comp map pool, there would be an active outrage over it.
      Only way to get a map recognized by players is to force it like they did with Vertigo. And big surprise, many people hate Vertigo, like me (I loved pre-change Vertigo from 2017 btw). And I doubt devs would do that since they could just rework another old map like Cobble, Dust 1 or Aztec instead.
      And in the end is there any reason to remove any maps from the current map pool? All of them (even Vertigo) work fairly well and just need few tweaks to keep them fresh. Valve could recycle and update current map pool + Cache and Cobblestone until the end of time, and I doubt none would batch an eye. Because why would I queue new unknown community map, when I could just queue Mirage and know exactly what to do?

    • @MythicTF2
      @MythicTF2 4 года назад +18

      @@yoshisdream Dust 2 was removed from the active map pool. It's now a reserve map IIRC. Dust 2 is the most popular map because it is considered the most balanced and it is the oldest map. It's been around since 1.6 and old players feel comfortable on maps they can recognize which makes it immediately more approachable than overpass or vertigo(Which are arguably less popular in MM at MG-DMG).
      The real problem is that there is no safe environment to learn maps you've never played. Even if maps were forced onto the community, they won't be played that much. Vertigo only had success because it was forced into the ACTIVE Map pool and even then, much of MM doesn't like it in my experience because it's just confusing and not played enough and MM players don't spend hours learning ever nook and cranny of a map, which isn't even bad. There is no safe environment to learn new maps.
      The CS team has taken steps towards this with the inclusion of Scrimmage but limiting it to a few maps was the wrong move and arguably makes no one want to play it when there are maps there that will never be added into real comp(Except mirage which is on there for some reason). Scrimmage should either A) Be a box you check on the comp screen and when you check it, you queue for a random scrimmage match on any active duty map or B) It's own screen that works just like competitive

    Everything you said after 9:00 is so relatable even though I'm not a mapper, just overall in creative work it can be really confusing. You get some ppl saying they want one thing, some others saying the complete opposite. In the end you feel it's better to just trust your gut. (hopefully).
    And I'm still struggling on learning when to finish something, but my go to tactic is to leave something for a few weeks and then have a look again. Usually I see it in a completely different way whereas working on something constantly you only begin to notice the details, the flaws etc and you no longer see it as other people would, like a complete thing.

    I would love to see a colaboration between you and WarOwl. Just like you said it's hard to playtest your map with actual players, maybe you guys could do a series where you showcase/test the maps made by the community (myself included althought im barely getting into it), that way you can put some of these new maps on the spotlight and give valuable feedback to mapmakers.
    People usually ask for new maps and stuff, but most of them don't really play them anyway, so making something like "viewer games" on twitch for example, might bring some light into what i am sure are diamonds in the rough.

    In my study a game design prof once told us to "kill your darlings". Don't grow too attached to your work or ideas. It often creates a worse product or causes tensions within a team. Even though indivitually the idea might be good, your "darling" might not work in practice or doesn't fit in to the bigger picture. Making the responsible decision to move on is key for product focused work.
    By following that rule and applying an iterative workflow, mechanics/maps/ideas can quickly be tested:
    1. Prototyping
    2. testing
    3. evaluation
    4. prototype iteration
    5. repeat 2-4 until there is a solid basis
    6. polishing + production

    As someone who tunnel-visioned my way through 5 custom CSGO maps during high school I definitely learned a lot of this video's lessons the hard way. I still think I owe it to Phillip's earlier words about the value of finishing projects that I was even able to press "publish" and not just keep them hidden away as "to-be-perfects" in a folder for years.
    For those like me who ever got burnt-out by CSGO mapping, spending 400+ hours in the SDK, trying to compete with the workshop as a single mapper, I'd *highly* recommend you all try buying Quake 1 (from Steam or elsewhere) and getting into the Quake 1 modding scene. There's no model inspector, only entities and good BSP work.
    Quake 1 mapping really prevented me from hyper-fixating on details and let me enjoy mapping again. Most modern Q1 modders use Trenchbroom or J.A.C.K. , two very-much-improved programs over Hammer that will be easy to pick up for anyone who's used Hammer. It's made me look back on mapping far more fondly on mapping as a hobby, rather than constantly returning to defuse, and making me feel sour as I spend another hour making silly func_details and setting shadow parameters correctly for bush models.

    The one time i made a map i just drew a 2d layout and went from there. I made the whole thing and spent a few days working on the bombsites and mid, but the lack of height in the map really killed it. I couldn't find good ways to balance it while putting in height. It played 'okay' but I never got 5v5 going. The method wasn't ideal, but it got me going which is what actually matters. Whatever gets you started on a creative project is a good way to enter.
    Making a map was a super fun experience, and I highly recommended it to anyone with a few free hours. I went from knowing nothing to having the final version of my map in 15 hours. It isn't perfect but the pride of having made something interesting and new is the best thing ever. I dont really care that nobody played it. I had fun making it. Didn't bother detailing it ever though. Maybe I should...

The reason why he sounds like this in videos is the hard work he puts into scripting everything and cares for keeping that quality standard. He probably wouldn't be as interesting to listen if he improvised everything, but that's not a bad thing! It's hard work that makes him sound like that, and that is admirable.

    I am making a map right now based off an idea I had several years ago and attempted to make, unfortunately I had lost the original source file and gave up (forgetting about decompiling the alpha version I had on the workshop even though it wasn't the most up to date). The map is based off a parking garage and consists of several levels, there is the traditional way to traverse the garage and there are shortcuts. I like your sentiment about trying to make a map balanced and it not being possible, with the first iteration several years ago I attempted to make the map extremely balanced in timings, angles, the whole nine yards. But after coming back I realized my favorite maps are generally skewed towards a side and so I have put effort into making certain bombsites easier for the T's in an effort to lean the map towards T, but ct's do have a height advantage so I am really excited to finally get into play testing soon so I can see how it plays. Thanks for the years of content, the knowledge and the courage to start map making in CSGO!

      it's an orientation point in a map. philip used it in sparity to let players know roughly where they are looking at. it got replaced by the church thingy later on. You can compare it to the tower in inferno, palace on mirage or the A-site tower on canals.

  • @Dapstart

    Philip, you have unintentionally made a good case for why mapping is a form of art. As an illustrator and animator, I'd like to point out that the thankless job of detailing is something all forms of art suffer from. I love how my sketches and animatics look, but once I have to fully realize them I spend twice as long as I had already trying to color what was already a very solid drawing, or having to take the moving figure i've made and draw the belt loops on the waist for every frame. It's the same amount of work as any other stage, and the reason it feels so unnecessary is due to how innocuous these details are. You won't pay them mind if they're present in the final product, but you'd likely notice if they were absent.
    This seemingly intrinsic property of art is even more present in something as interactive as a map, as even the smallest detail *IS* noticed eventually, given the map is played enough times. Hell, you made an entire video about the illogical locking mechanism on a prop on cache, that likely would never have been noticed in any other art form.
    Maps in multiplayer video games are held to a boggling level of artistic scrutiny, because unlike an animation or a drawing they are meant to be experienced tens thousands of times for years on end.
    This video has offered a very good explanation of something I have never been able to fully put into words: that the true art of detailing is not knowing what to add, but knowing what will be noticed, and still working on what won't be.

    I used to do a lot of mapping for tf2 (and i'm considering doing more) and what I usually made was interesting things, attempting to break the mold. I can't remember who exactly said this to me, but one of the most inspiring comments to me was something along the lines of "I'd rather play a million cholulas then have to sit through the same viaduct copy yet again". do what's fun, do what's interesting, that's how you make the breakthroughs.

    I have a love/hate relationship with detailing.
    I love detailing the big picture, adding in big grandiose set-pieces and making areas that players would want to sit back and just take a screenshot of.
    What I _hate_ is what I can only describe as micro-detailing. I hate having to put in tiny trims, vents, and little physics props to try and make it feel not so empty. That's why most of my indoor areas tend to look demonstrably worse than my outdoor areas.

  • @hotdogger8641

    I too believe the game has became such a competitive focus. Have you ever ventured into community server style mapping though? It truly is another world. From "simple" bhop maps that are designed for fluidity, and challenge, all the way to Jailbreak maps, that have a competitive aspect in a way, but it's completely different. I understand a lot of community servers use sourcmod, and other plugins etc to actually change how a map is played, or can be played. But just the design itself in community server map making is still so different and so very interesting. I'm not much of one myself, I have played with simple bhop mapping, but I know quite a few people that create all sorts of community server maps, and I'm sure they would love to show you what goes into it.

    The first "problem" with FMPone's map which comes to mind for me is that it's gonna be incredibly hard checking/holding angles when he ditches 45 degree angles. But maybe that's also a refreshing new thing as one of my favorite things is getting an advantage through having an unexpected angle on my enemies. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to some fresh maps being established into competetive :)

    12:58 People don't play on community maps in CS:GO because official matchmaking is quicker and easier to get into and the options for them are more prominent in the menu UI. It happened to TF2 as well. People flow to the path of least resistance. And Valve made the path of least resistance flow away from user-created content.

    Agree, you should only map if you have fun doing so and really want to do it.
    Which is the case for most stuff. Mostly for the no fame, no money stuff.
