Most maps i have seen on the workshop are more impressive.
why even make a story on this, a ton of map levels from games get built in hammer for cs. I don't understand how this is a special exception :rolleyes:
I've seen better maps made in CS:S, no offense to the creator. I couldn't do something like this, but there are much better maps out there that don't get a full page on it.
"Lone modder"
why even do that, why.
I sorta expected something with more detail than a CS1.6 map. I can appreciate the effort put in but come on, the mansion doesn't even have gutters, it's a brick box with white triangles on top
You all such ball busters, it's more of a homage to the old tomb raider than anything else. Also mapping is still modifying/creating assets through a development kit.

Please dont be this fucking dumb with semantics. Modding is not mapping, its 2 completely different things, and no matter how you try and word it so its modding will just make you come off as a complete retard.
Plus people arent shitting on the map, its just not super impressive and the article is just shit. She said its just a nice fun little map shes making, and thats exactly what it looks like.
Honestly im more impressed with her texture work, 232 textures, even if its just ripping and slapping into source, is still a lot work, especially when messing with the VTF and VMF so a brick wall doesnt sound like flesh and instead sounds like brick.

I dunno man calling me a [I]complete[/I] retard wouldn't be very true either. If it is only semantics why are you arguing the difference?
People love to complain about anything. Modding, mapping, who cares.
Cool map, well done.

That's the point. I was hoping for a 2014-looking recreation of it too, to actually look nice; but I can appreciate the way she's done the original Tomb Raider 2 style.
was this really worth an article?
Brings back old memories
Torturing the butler and locking him in the freezer, those where the good days.
Isn't there already a Source version of it? Remember playing TTT on it.
I feel the only reason this is "news" is because the "modder" is a chick...
I'd be impressed if it was actually revamped.
[QUOTE=DasMatze;45630335]"modder" ... it's called mapping.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that's fair - I've made an edit. Cheers!
Yes yes, the quality is nothing astounding.
I believe the purpose of this article is to show current and aspiring mappers that they can get some publicity through PCGN. The quality of mapping news will increase as a result. Unless PCGN has been making quality map posts until this one or something.
I don't know what I expected, but...

She's making the original from the 90's, so yeah it doesn't have gutters.. That's the whole point.
I thought it was stupid that my friend posted this video in the chat because of girl. Now there's a god damn article about it?

That's because you're projecting that onto it.
I thought it was a pretty good video and map. Shouldn't matter if it's a dude or a chick in the video, as long as the content is quality.

But it's not, this is like one step ahead of fullbright with dev textures. It's fine if she's going to improve it but there's no reason to make articles about a mediocre map.
There are people in the mapping section right here who make maps that are fucking masterpieces and nobody writes articles about them.
I wouldn't say that it's a shit map, she obviously put a lot of effort into making it as close to the original as possible. I still think that she should've taken advantage of CSGO's more modern engine to make it look better, however.
[QUOTE=The golden;45640151]That would be missing the point of a 1:1 remake though.[/QUOTE]
This... Why is everyone complaining about how dated it looks, thats the whole bloody point.

You're missing the point. It purposely looks 'shit': it's supposed to be a more or less 1:1 remake of the manor from TRII, retro textures and all.

If those people reach out to sites/blogs or make videos of their maps, someone would.
see it's cute it's a 1:1 thing and all
but it's been done
itsa fucking TTT map lol
