[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;35707913]Are they even sending out beta's anymore?

It's been a very long time and I still haven't seen an invite and there's not much talk about them here anymore[/QUOTE]
Very long time

I thought airaccelerate wasn't possible in CS:GO. How did you enable it?

[whitespace]

Probably the same way it is done in TF2(afaik), on the surfs there are triggers that push you upwards.

[QUOTE=Xyrec;35718307]I thought airaccelerate wasn't possible in CS:GO. How did you enable it?[/QUOTE]

+sv_airaccelerate in the launch options

[Snowywolf]

I Will probably setup one of the first surf servers.

[Someoneawsome]

getting a key is impossibru

[QUOTE=Niven;35713295]I hope I dont get into the beta tomorrow. I have exams the following week :v:[/QUOTE]

I have exams next week as well and I'm already in trouble with the GW2 beta. If I get into this beta as well I probably won't study at all. :v:

[GameAddict]

Don't worry. I'm sure those betas will still be there even after your exams. Count yourself lucky, I don't have the GW2 Beta [I]or[/I] the CS:GO beta.

You're right about the CS:GO beta but the GW2 beta is only for the weekend so I can't play it after exams until the next beta weekend they decide.

And you have to pre-order GW2 for the beta. I probably won't get a CS:GO key anyway because I never have luck at being chosen for betas.

Over at Interlopers Kosire was 1 of the 5 lucky people to get access to the CS:GO Beta SDK from Valve.

Probably easy if you experiment with the hammer properties, like how we found portal 2's paintinmap command fairly quickly.

But wow, that's not fair.

Theres some things I got a beef with on GO...

The sounds:
While the gun sounds aren't bad at all, they remind me too much of the ones in L4D1/2, maybe because they ARE used first there.

Its not like its a bad thing being from L4D, its just that they are too "L4Dy", and L4D never really seemed to be the most solid gunplay. It sort of rustled my jimmies... Besides, too many guns have the same sounds.

Reloads:
Pistols have all the same reloads, both sniper rifles have the same reload, and the sounds sometimes are just sped up. That kind of pisses me off, and the 5.7's slide still doesn't works right.

(cosmetic?) recoil:
The gun models need a better recoil patern. The deagle for example used to fly backwards in your hand. Now it has the same recoil as the glock, and that fools me and looks... Stupid.
Why not add more visual recoil?

This is all aesthetic stuff, but it annoys me...

[greenbandit]

Hopefully they release some keys today

[QUOTE=green bandit;35729577]Hopefully they release some keys today[/QUOTE]

Haven't they released a few thousand with every major update? Plus giving preexisting beta users extra gift keys.

Speaking of which, I hope they add a few more factions today.

[kahgarak]

CSGO SDK Beta was gonna be released today, right?

How much longer?

So I was just testing my custom map when suddenly, the enemy Terrorist bot became... ERROR

Also I noticed an inconsistency in Safehouse.
Windows outside:

Yet right behind them, inside, nothing. Why make windows for such a tiny (and inaccessible!) space?

That being said, you should post that in the SPUF bug thread. Seeing all the changes Office recently got would leave me to believe they'd fix something like that.

i like the viewmodels in cs go much better then css

I'm banned from SPUF :(

I hope someone reports the window thing. And also the floating 3d skybox building in Dust2 (you can see that it simply hovers if you look southwest while standing at bomb site A).

And the white building in Office that uses HL2 textures (behind the truck) that should be a bit longer on one side because its texture is partially cut off (the triangular ornament above the windows, mainly, is cut off).

Take some screenshots and post them here.

[MaxOfS2D]

Is it just me or does the CSM system fade in lightmaps for far away stuff? That's pretty ingenious

(looks like it still uses the /color/ information of lightmaps in all cases either way)

[kahgarak]

[QUOTE=En Ex;35731937]Take some screenshots and post them here.[/QUOTE]

There's a few more skybox buildings in dust2 you can see the lower edge of, but you'd have to actually climb and actively look for them while jumping to see them so I dunno if that needs patching.

Here's the Office texture fuckup, the dust2 skybox fuckup and overlapping textures in dust2 (above the Pit):

^according to this texturing, the wall facing the map would be ridiculously thin

Can you even report people for hacking yet? [url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/zanderxander/]This guy[/url] was using a nospread hack really obviously, and idiots on his team refused to votekick him.

I went on the his page, logged into my account and then reported him for suspected cheating. Added comment about it being the CS:GO beta.

Reported.

I usually feel bad for things like this but he seems like a scumbag after looking at his pictures.

[Ermac20]

have they handed out beta keys yet?

[Deac]

It's almost that time of the week again, good luck to you all tonight.
