Aim - Crystal

Description
Crystal is indeed yet another aim_map.. Except you have the ability to customize it!

Features:
  • A unique artstyle.
  • Extreme visibility.
  • High FPS.
  • Shattering players.
  • Fast rounds already configured for you.
  • A simplified aim_map layout that you'll love.
  • A fog that stays for a second to prevent BS spawn kills.
  • Say commands for map configuration.
  • Saved parameters between rounds.
  • Automatic config loading.
  • Various weapon options.
  • Enemy color preferences.
  • Loadout preferences (M4A1/M4A4).
  • Perfect for 1v1, (can't blame visibility).
  • Limited Deathmatch and Arms Race support.
  • An alternative version for the Multi 1v1 Plugin

Issues:
  • The map will crash after about 3000 rounds due to the string table... wont ever happen basically.
  • GOTV breaks commands and the map's logic in general.
  • Bots are dumb... I've removed their knife so they don't rush to their death. !botknife to toggle. Disabled in Deathmatch and Arms Race.
  • Not suitable for servers, use lobbies.

Unlisted Crystal Commands:
Some commands are niche and therefore not listed in the !help panel.
  • !botknife - Toggle bots' knives, they rush mid with it out, they don't have one by default now.
  • !nopist - Disable pistols.
  • !restart - mp_restartgame 1 alias

FAQ:
Q: Why?
I was trying to find a 1v1 map with a friend... we couldn't find any decent map, most had issues with visibility, others with balance and boring angles, even the most popular ones... I've decided to make this map with visibility in mind, aim_map is the most popular 1v1 map, it's layout is perfection... it made sense to use it as a base.

Q: Why shattering playermodels?
I wanted to make them more unique, plus it's SUPER H-...cool!

Q: Ok, but it only break in two small pieces for me!
Put your Effect Detail setting on High, on low it reduces the amount of debris... It doesn't impact performance it'd seem anyway... are you one of those ESPORT plebs who plays on 1024x768 and all in low at 800fps and complains when it drops? Asking for a friend.

Q: How?
The map is mostly based off models instead of brushes, I've relied exclusively on flat shading and cubemaps

Q: Is there a list of commands?
Do !help while in the map. (in the chat not the console)

Q: So that's for training?
In a way yes, bots are a bit dumb on it.. It's meant for human 1v1 / 2v2.. but you can train on it I guess, you can even load it in Deathmatch if that fits you better.

Q: Can I host it on a server?
I don't recommend it... Simply use lobbies instead, the map isn't meant to run 24/7 as VScripts create new strings in the string table due to entity handles... and that every time a new round starts... it never clean them and the table end up reaching its max capacity and crash the game, it's a flaw that hasn't yet been addressed by Valve.

Q: Options reset every time, it's annoying to type them again each map load!
It's not a question, but simply create a CFG file named crystal.cfg and use
script crystalCommand("!yourCommand")
it'll be executed every time this map loads, you can even type standard commands in there.

Have Fun!

When you update this for s2 can you add a command for every weapon? Us revolver and m249 chad enthusiasts feel left out 😞

Love this map. Perhaps this is intentional but when I look into the sky through the mirror on the floor there's a giant flying ERROR model in the air. Thank you for the content you provide to the community :winter2019happybulb:
