That was the only issue i found. The radar is all good.
I think the extra files (vmt, vtf, etc) will need to be packed into the bsp file too

Another overwhelming amount of suggestions incoming - something to look into whenever server is ready for more maps.

Adding a Map
Full Map Name: cs_agency
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/200319
Why You Think it Should Be added: A CS:GO map that GO'ers really enjoyed. I personally haven't really played it but it seems to be a fun, solid map.

Why You Think it Should Be added: Looks like a solid hostage map, it's played a lot on other servers.

Why You Think it Should Be added: Smallish map but looks like it can play well enough

Adding a Map
Full Map Name: de_cevo_diesel
Map Download Link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/3iidv...iesel.bsp/file
Why You Think it Should Be added: Seems like a pretty good map. Someone will have to verify that cubemaps have been properly built if and before map goes on server as i had to do it myself. This basically means there shouldn't be any super glossy, shiny light on textures and props.

Adding a Map
Full Map Name: de_mirage_atm
Map Download Link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/mjics...e_atm.bsp/file
Why You Think it Should Be added: Looks like a much better version than the port from CS:GO. Has no apparent custom textures and props. It's basically a true source version of the cs:go map

Why You Think it Should Be added: Another map that looks pretty solid

Adding a Map
Full map name: de_zoo
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/205967
Why you think it should be added: A CS:GO classic, a great casual map to play on that i think would be perfect for the server.

Adding a Map
Full map name: de_sparity
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/210203
Why you think it should be added: It seems like a solid basic map. Bombsites are easy enough to get to for both sides, especially CT side. Bonus points for having a working minimap.

Adding a Map
Full map name: cs_hijack
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/204474
Why you think it should be added: Looks like a solid hostage map, a lot of detail and potentially a lot of rat spots? but should be fine once everyone learns the general layout

Adding a Map

Why you think it should be added: Great looking map, seems like it can play well too.

Adding a Map
Full map name: de_convent
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/207061
Why you think it should be added: Looks like a big map with a lot of open space. Not sure how it will play out but probably still worth checking out

Adding a Map
Full map name: de_sweat
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/203188
Why you think it should be added: Looks like an alright map. No minimap so players will have to learn where the bombsites actually are.

Adding a Map
Full map name: de_fend
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/201285
Why you think it should be added: Looks like a good map, players will have to learn that it is possible to use the 2nd floor catwalk on bombsite A and not the 3rd floor catwalk. Bombsite B's 2nd floor and 3rd floor catwalk can't be used. I think if players understand that and not get overwhelmed then the map could play well.

Adding a Map

Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/200797
Why you think it should be added: Seems like a solid map

For some of the maps above they have a large file size so player FPS and server download time will have to be considered and factored into the decision making process. In saying that i am going to assume that most players will have perfectly fine FPS.

Bonus map:
de_cbble_csgo
https://gamebanana.com/maps/199873
I only put this here because source cbble upsets me

Map removal
Full map name: de_castiglion
Issues: Plays like it should be a deathmatch map or a TTT map. The doors with the gap down the middle is a very weird design choice. No minimap.

Map removal
Full map name: de_westwood-2017
Issues: I think TTT and SM DM suits the westwood iterations well. The nilla map isn't fun for me, it just feels weird to play on. It's hard to get info and know where you're being shot from.

Map removal
Full map name: de_veranda_bobpoblo
Issues: Plays like it should be on a retakes server even though I find it cool and a nice change from the usual gameplay. Very T sided map, not a fun time for CTs if Ts are playing at a standard level.


I also want to use this post to encourage people to nominate maps often - something i definitely need to work on. A few cool maps have been added to the rotation recently, one of those maps is de_nighthawk_pro and i think that is a great addition to the server judging from the 1 game i played of it.

im with krez here---played a couple off the maps he wants added

Full Map Name: de_dust_beirut
Issues With Map/Why You Think it Needs to be Removed:
CTs have such huge map control if they maintain this area:
https://i.imgur.com/vxOJXMF.jpg
It's a spot that CTs can very easily get to and Ts struggle to get to.
I think it's a bland and yucky map, i haven't played it too many times but i've had 2 games where Ts couldn't even leave spawn because of the pressure CTs can bring. One time when i played it recently the map eventually got rtv'ed.

Opinion of Map: Has a couple glitch spots you can get to. Not intended as it's all nodraw texture. You end up having unintended wallhacks essentially.

Map Updates
Full Map Name (new map): de_cache_v2_atm
Current Map's Full Name: de_cache_dtk
Map Download Link (new map): https://www.mediafire.com/file/e1ntx...2_atm.bsp/file
Why it Should replace Current Map: It's a much better version of cache. I personally think if this new map is better then we really should replace the old one. The cache that we have now in my opinion is that it is only good for nostalgia and no where near as good as the CS:GO iterations.


Map Updates
Full map name (new map): de_insurgency_pro
Current Map's Full Name: de_insurgency
Map Download Link (new map): http://www.mediafire.com/file/2y3567...y_pro.bsp/file
Why it Should Replace Current Map: Main changes are that it basically gets rid of the rooftop warfare which in the current map i am personally not a fan of and the map has a much different look but pretty much the same layout. It will probably depend on what people like/dislike about the current map if it's even worth putting this version up. i.e do people enjoy the rooftop battles, the look of the current version, etc.


Adding a Map
Full map name: de_orilla_house
Map download link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/201892
Why you think it should be added: It's a good looking map, i saw it on another server and it looks like it plays well. Hopefully a really good map for lower-medium population, and can still work well for higher pop.

Agree with this 100%. Map is just not fun to play

[[DtK] [S] PigSy]

Yep, cs_east_borough has the roof glitch and will definitely be removed.

I'm 50/50 with de_dust_beirut as a good T team can play well when they know the map, but agree it is CT biased and it is a bland and unappealing map!

Will give feedback on the proposed updated map, thx Krezand!

de_cache_v2_atm is a real nice looking map with some changes, i Like it!

Thanks Cupcake, Though I've never witnessed that before, it's actually an advantage for CT's as it means you can cover mid without being on the bombsite, and it stop's the Ct's camping a single door.

Opinion of Map: Fantastic addition, well balanced, visually stunning, and thoroughly enjoyed by all from what I've seen; has already become a regular hit. Bonus points for being easy to spell when you remember that nominations are due at the last minute.

[[DtK] [S] PigSy]

The nilla admin team are currently reviewing the custom map list!

I invite feedback (using the formats from the OP) from all who play the server to voice their opinions on map removals, additions etc...

Help us to make the server as good as we can.

Adding maps

Full map name: cs_frozen
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/74852
Why you think it should be added: It's a small and simple 2 hostie map. Reminds me a bit of Chalet from R6, but yet very small. The map is more ideally played during X-mas and i wouldn't see this staying in for the rotation.

Full map name: de_losttemple_winter_rc1
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/160659
Why you think it should be added: It's a great map to play, suitable for the x-mas style as it has a snowy setting. There's 2 changes to the map which aren't really game breaking, an extra room near the stairs of entering A and snow piles covering up parts of the tunnel leading from T spawn to B (Bridge room)

Full map name: de_xmas_hotel
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/19213
Why you think it should be added: It's a big map which has a lot of long corridors based in a 3 story building. Both bombsites are on the top floor, map is fairly spaced out and looks promising to play. It does however have a secret room to access aks.

Full map name: cs_winternights
Map Download Link: https://gamebanana.com/maps/38844
Why you think it should be added: A hostie map that's small yet has numerous places for encounters. Not much to say about this map, it's more of another map to add in for a variety.

Reason: The spawn points are way too close together. T's can push into ct spawn in about 2 - 3 seconds at the start of the round, vice versa CT's can run up the stairs into T spawn.

Remove cs_bikini_hrd
the map gives certain spawn points 5 seconds to move or they die

[[DtK] [SA] WalkerBoh]

I don't see that as a valid reason to remove a map Jokerz. When I'm on as soon as the buy period is over people scatter and start moving instantly. I know for myself personally I am trying to move about 2 seconds before you actually can. It is a popular server with people routinely trying to join and messaging admins to kick any afk's so that they can join and play.

If something is happening irl that causes you to go afk, well, the old saying goes "One man's loss is another man's gain". Sucks for the player that gets kicked, but is great for the player who gets to join. If you are running off to grab a quick drink or bio break or something, just say "brb 2 mins" or something and move yourself to spectate. We are not going to kick you for being afk if we know you will be back real quick. If you go afk for 5 mins or more, well you should get kicked so someone else can join the server and play.

Obviously these scenarios only apply when the server is full or close to full. If there only 10 players on you could probably sit in spec for the whole round with no issues. But I have been on the server all alone for a few rounds and then within 1 minute the server is 26/26. Map removal is more about glitches, being extremely biased to one or the other team, general unpopularity or just plain not fun. Things like that. You could try asking instead whether they can extend the timer for moving people to spectate. Maybe the people who control such things are unaware its so quick. Although if you are there to play I don't know why you would need any time beyond the buy time. And if you are standing still for that long you are gonna get moved to spectate when the enemy shoots you dead anyway.

I'm a pretty big fan of all the new maps purely because they are new maps. Sick of the same old same old getting voted for. We could almost change it from Nilla to Nuke, Dust2 and Office. Not having a go at you Jokerz, BTW, just saying I think you need a more valid reason for removal.

Map Removal
Remove: de_bastion2
Reason for removal: Consistent FPS issues for people with all different kinds of PC specs. Difficult for people with lower end PCs to maintain FPS above 60 fps which is not very enjoyable.

Why you think it should be added: A good hostie map that i think alot of people know a good classic map alot of different entry's to get to the hostie's and a pretty decently sized map would love to see this added to nilla
