Custom Maps Port/Photogrammetry Concept

Sat, 19 Apr 2025 17:26:20 +0000

Hey,

today i wanna show a method how nearly every 3D Artist/Mapper/Modder could bring maps to AC with baked lighting.

This method (photogrammetry) also will result in the best performance/quality ratio possible. If we go for the optimization step after creating, it does pretty much the same thing i´ve shown few years ago but automaticly and better, comes however with some flaws.

Here are some concepts:

Counter Strike 2, Dust2 part (quick&dirty):

Dust2, 1v1 aim:

This is pretty much how you could create a map in UE5 or any other engine with Raytracing light, capture it for photogrammetry, optimize and port to AC. However since photogrammetry has its flaws, you shouldn´t add shiny surfaces, plants or other high detailed models to your map, those scans are harder to reconstruct or bring down to the optimal performance level (tris)

Additionally, while some would like to create maps that way, we also could scan real areas like softair halls etc. and bring more photorealism to the game if that would even fit (character models, weapons etc). I´ve already tested this a little with small scans made by others, since for this we would need a really good camera + fitting location.

tilbury fort concept:

Some editor external shader testing (Unreal Engine 4 tonemapper):

Iraq destroyed hospital (Not an optimal scan & dirty):

This could be just the start of something awesome, but it would need the help of others (scan, create, optimize, port, tex optimizations/fine tuning)

Each of those steps eat alot of time, if we wanna archive good results. Same goes for custom created maps.

Some of those concepts i´ve zipped, the idea is to find out how it really performs and what you think (no collisions etc.)

cargo by RKTnoob

cargo, a map I didn't finish for the last compo finally got finished.

There's a bunch of new textures on it, so I'll just upload all my stuff, as there's quite a lot of it, I can't sort all that to pick the exact ones. (overwrite anything if asked)

Handy Utils (useful scripts)

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 19:06:10 +0000

I want to give you some updated scripts:
- In autoexec, there are some misc settings, as toggleconsole on F, demo viewing binds (arrows) or inter menu (bind with “M”): https://www.mediafire.com/file/jyyk1gpfq...c.cfg/file

- Teamkillers menu is another modification of the script made by Thrawn, just adapted and colored. Really useful to hatch an eye to teamkillers. I binded it in letter “C”: https://www.mediafire.com/file/yngv5pufn...u.cfg/file

Weapon Port from SoF Payback & AC

Tue, 20 Jun 2023 14:52:21 +0000

Hey,

some guns ported from Arctic Combat & Soldier of Fortune.

MP5:

Sniper:

Glock 17:

M4 Shotgun:

M14:

G36:

Including new sounds. No world/menu md2 models (due to animations). No model backface removal. (for easier editing, if someone wanna make md2 versions). Tried to make it a mod-package but sounds didnt worked that way, therefore you have to go to the path "packages\audio\weapon" and rename it to "weapon_old", go to packages\models\weapons" and rename to "weapons_old" (Original backup). After that you can drag the packages folder into AssaultCube´s installation directory.

Edit: Bukz put them into mod-packages, download links in his post. (Thanks)

AC 1.3+ modpackages .zip downloads

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 01:19:57 +0000

Original post regarding older weapon mods in this thread:
I don't know the authors or the licensing information on these files, as the source I obtained them from did not provide them. I provided credit and licensing information where I could. If you recognize a mod and can provide author/license information I will gladly update the modpackages to credit the original creators and provide license files! I did NOT create any of the models in this thread, I am simply repackaging them as AC 1.3 modpackages for convenience/the benefit of the community. I personally believe the modding community is the most important part of this community (aside from well...players) and I'm sad to see that without Akimbo it has more or less died. So here are some weapon mods to play around with!

These modpackages are really easy to install, just download any of the .zip files linked in this thread, and drop them in the "mods" folder in your AssaultCube installation folder. Launch AC, navigate to Settings Menu > Mod package settings - if you did everything properly, you should see something similar to this:

Click on the mod you want to enable, and click "Add to the list of used mod packages". Restart AC, and enjoy the mod! This same menu can be used to disable the mod(s) anytime you wish, just remember you have to restart AC for the modpackages changes to take effect since different models need to be loaded.

Help me find an old script. (tools.cfg and config/docsection.cfg)

Sun, 11 Jun 2023 21:40:43 +0000

V-Man really did a fantastic job creating tools.cfg many, many years ago and at the very least I would like to play around with some of the commands, but I might even make whatever changes are necessary to "port" it to AC 1.3 (with his permission of course)

I'm looking for the most recent version that I can find but please post any copy that you may have of the old tools.cfg by V-Man!

EDIT: XRD came through and found a copy of it, if you have a newer version of it please post it below! I am still looking for the accompanying config/docsection.cfg that was packaged along with tools.cfg as well

3XIX´s Graphic Update [Stopped]

Sat, 03 Jun 2023 03:45:48 +0000

Hey hey,

As you might know by now, i´m working on updating graphic aspects of this game. Some might have asked themself why i haven´t shared the Blossom Map reproduction, the answer is: I prefer sharing the full package and not only single things, i made an exception for the weapon models and will see what else.

I changed this thread to be a diary of what i try or change/update. Obviously not daily, since i´m doing things step by step and only if i´ve some time for it.

I´ve also found the issue for performance fluctuations, that however is out of my hands and we´ve to rely on "Flowtron" etc. to fix it. I´m still thinking about creating a map which avoids this issue, that however requires alot of math, since i´m going to add ray traced lighting to it (baked into textures as in the blossom showcase, but with better detail and more bounces)

Alot of that takes huge amounts of time and mainly pc resources, since baking ray tracing into 8k textures and scaling them down afterwards is prerendering. Due to the hot weather these days i pushed that project to the colder months, otherwise downclocking/overheating.

CSGO Workshop Map: Blossom reproduction

A little test of using reshade as "external shaders", which makes more sense for people to be able to activate and deactivate or not use based on their hardware:

Blossom with reshade HDR Bloom:

AssaultCube´s Sunset map with Reshade:

I believe many people dont know that they can use AssaultCube with reshade, therefore the link to it: https://reshade.me/

And yup, currently working on a HUD/Icon update.(tested a valorant type texture modification on gun textures) That´s basicly how i do this, adding something and remove, and repeat until i believe i found/created the better asset.

As usual, feel free to let me know what you think and leave ideas etc.

New website for community made content

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 23:31:56 +0000

I played AssaultCube for several years and had tons of fun. Not only because of the good mechanics and feeling, but in particular also because of the vast possibilities of modding and the dedicated server feature.

There have been so many great community contributions in form of maps, textures, models, etc.

Recently I was googling a few days occassionally how good many of the oldschool games were. So many offered community content and dedicated servers. So many games spawned multiple community websites of various topics. Also so many clans and tournaments. Nowadays this is pretty much gone. It's only anonymous matchmaking and zero possibilities for dedicated servers and modding.

Then I stumbled upon AssaultCube again and saw it got new updates and even a mobile release. I was hyped. So glad that this is still active. Then after seeing that akimbo is down since a while, I figured I can give something back to the great game, devs and community. AC-Resources.org was born.

My website AC-Resources.org is a hosting service for all kinds of (legal) AssaultCube community content. You can download and share maps, sprites, textures, models, scripts, mods & more. You can review community content submissions with a 5-star rating system. It's also mobile friendly. It's basically my way of giving something back to the community.

Maybe someone has use for it. Oh and it is open-source software, so feel free to create issues / make pull requests.

[Map] gema_ninja + gema_ctf_template

Sun, 01 May 2022 17:42:39 +0000

I guess nobody has been waiting for this, but finally I created my first parkour styled map (GEMA) for AC. It is somewhat inspired by Ninja Warrior, hence the name.

The map is playable in CTF-mode and separating both teams completely. This was a little tricky to pull off and isn't exactly perfect, but I'd say it works better than what we usually see in GEMA maps. I created a simple template, which has those separated flag bases set up already. From that template I built gema_ninja, so you can use that as an example for how to apply the template.

I tried my best to work around all the weird and frustrating stuff, that usually keeps me away from GEMA. It certainly isn't the most challenging GEMA you'll find, but it is playable with all primary weapons except Shotgun. So in case AR and Carbine seem too easy, try Sniper or even SMG. ;)

Download: gema_ninja+gema_ctf_template

Also, there's a little server (Jack's Backyard [EU] [GEMA]) hosting the map in CTF mode in case you feel like jumping right into it. Would be nice if we had more maps like gema_ninja on there. So get the template and start your (first?) GEMA map today! ;)

AC-Map Design/Clipping etc.

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 22:30:35 +0000

Hey Guys,

after another 2 years of research i learned alot more about performance aspects, when it comes to 3D art.

today i wanna show a little map project i´ve made (had to clean it up, since i couldnt get license permissions from Quixel) I still believe it should look decent enough for AC Level, remember that its created with Hardware for AC in mind. Also containers could have seperate textures each, if i find more CC0 sources.

Some technical info:
Vertices: 1310 (minimum possible, textures give the detail)
Shader Changes: 6
Surface/Material Changes: 7 (Bump/Normal Map texture stored within the alpha channel of a texture, "fake" Normal)
Draw Calls: 1 (Combined all Models to one Model, this reduces CPU usage around 75%)
which is really important, since we effectivly using 1 Core only in CUBE Engine, besides that many developers doing that wrong even in AAA games (combine models/collision, after that games are nearly limited to GPU only) Also having the CPU deliver data faster to the GPU result in more FPS, if GPU isnt maxed.

The overall environment vertices of 7429 have to be seperated, gun, hud and specificly shadow (doubles vertices)

Design copied from Line of Sight - Opencage Map:

Still, since i didnt really learned more about Assault Cube itself, im thinking about how to Clip it.
I´ve tried to clip it seperate and with playerclips but both seem to be collision only and dont stop bullets.
So, if someone knows how thats done, the map can be released.

Note: I know that it could be done with walling inside of each container for example, but that would require world quads and world vertices (which are waste of performance, since it only needs clips which doesnt display anything, that way its nearly exact 400 fps on an old Intel HD4000, couldnt test with ATI Xpress 1100 yet, but those who wanna give it a try to test without clips (not final performance) you can use a seperate game client (Make sure to not play online! You wont see anything in most Maps anyway :P) loadmap opencage via console or go to singeplayer, empty map, show all maps, opencage. At moment the map replaces Makke/Barrel Model (Loading times will be increased due to 4k textures)

The 1.3 Mapping Contest

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 20:34:33 +0000

Theme:
This time around, the theme is going to be a little different. There will be an open theme contest. You can use any theme you want. However, when you submit your map, you must clearly state which theme your map falls under

Deadline:
Begins now (January 17th) and will run to April 1st

Judges:
Halo
I know only one judge looks strange. However, I wanted to allow the max number of people to try out the new mapping updates in 1.3 and figured this to be best.

Scores:
The scoring is undergoing a huge change in this contest. It will be divided into 2 sections worth 25 each. Those sections are gameplay mechanics and detailing. Each section will be broken down into 5 point sections. A possible 50 points is up for grabs out of these sections. There will also be a poll to vote on at the end of the contest in which how ever many votes you receive will be added to your total.

Gameplay 25 points (0 out of 5 in each)
Layout 5 (this will be how well your layout is)
Gameplay 5 (how it plays)
Pickups & Spawns 5 (how your pickups and spawns are placed)
Mode 5 (this will be judged based on what mode you suggest your map is for and how well it works for that mode)
Lighting 5 (how well your map is lit overall)

There will be another 25 up for grabs in details (0 out of 5 in each)
Theme 5 (this will be how well you managed the theme you suggest your map is)
Detail 5 (how well it is detailed overall)
Sounds 5 (sound usage)
Textures 5 (how well you used textures)
Models 5 (how well you used mapmodels)

Rules:
* Map can not be previously released before the start of this contest
* No limits on how many maps you can submit (nor limits on how many people can work on a single map)
* No stealing
* No judge was involved in the process of making the map
* Anyone can enter, no requirements are set based off mapping experience

Prizes:
A 50 USD amazon gift card will be offered to the winning map. In the case a team/coop map wins, its up to the users to decide between them on how to split the prize. In the event an amazon gift card isn't the winners ideal gift, let me know. I might be able to work with you and get you something of equal value.

As of right now, I do not plan on having a newcomer prize this year or a newcomer section. However, if I see enough new mappers are entering, I will change this.

Any questions, feel free to ask.

Be nice, and happy mapping! Good luck out there!

ac_aleppo

Fri, 27 Aug 2021 08:15:02 +0000

Always wanted to try my hand at something new in AC. Tried GEMA and now I've given mapping a shot. Mainly spurred on by Husk I created this map as my first dive into the scene. The map was inspired by war-torn cities like Aleppo and Mosul. The map is small but can work in CTF/KTF/HTF, but I would suggest DM or 1v1/2v2.

Download or /getmap ac_aleppo in game is possible (Thanks XRD)
And a final thanks to Husk and Halo for the advice throughout the mapping process and answering my ridiculous questions.
I hope it is good enough to see people enjoying it and I'd love some brutally honest feedback.

ac_raven - CTF haunted house

Sun, 27 Jun 2021 11:45:29 +0000

This time I wanted to try something that I hadn't done before. A haunted house with one base in the backyard and one in the frontyard. It was inspired by several real country houses. The lay-out of the house is inspired by Château de Schoonhoven/Kasteel van Schoonhoven. Best in CTF/HTF/TKTF.

Spoiler

Download HERE - updated thanks BrutalSystem. While I'm at it: thanks RKT and Robtics for some useful advice, and thanks X-Ray-Dog for succeeding in making me package stuff the right way :)
It uses two custom sounds and one custom texture.
Or simply type /getmap ac_raven to get the map in-game.

Enjoy, and as always: feedback is welcome.

Hello AC community

I've built this map in the past few months, hope you all like it! Feel free to give feedback ^^
