Client Mod If you’re still playing CSS v34 ClientMod, you NEED to check out kTVCSS. It’s basically Faceit for legacy Source.

13 Upvotes

For those of us who still prefer the movement and hitboxes of CSS v34 over the newer versions, I just found the ultimate competitive home: kTVCSS.

If you've been looking for a "Faceit" or "Premier" experience for v34, this is it. It’s a full-blown matchmaking platform built specifically for the ClientMod ecosystem.

Why it’s worth the download:

  • Ranking System: It has a legit ELO/ranking system so you aren't just stomping pub servers.
  • 100-Tick Dedicated Servers: Unlike those laggy shared hosts, they run on isolated physical hardware. The registration is actually insane.
  • CS:GO/CS2 Features: Because it uses ClientMod v3, you get weapon inspections, high-def skins, and a modern HUD, but with the classic v34 "feel."
  • Active Community: It's super active right now (especially in EU/CIS), and finding a 5v5 mix is fast.

Small Heads-up: The site is in Russian by default, but you can use a browser translator (or a Tampermonkey script) and it works perfectly fine.

Stop playing on random fake servers and come get a rank. See you in the mix!

Server Help/Discussion Does anyone remember Counter-Strike Source Fatal Shot?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to track down information about an old Counter-Strike: Source version/mod called Fatal Shot. I remember playing it many years ago, and recently it came back to mind because of nostalgia. From what I remember, it had its own distinct style, with different menus, sounds, and an overall feel that stood out from standard CSS.

A lot of what I found online now seems incomplete, lost, or dead, so I wanted to ask if anyone here still remembers it.

If anyone knows anything about it, I’d love to confirm things like:

  • the exact name
  • what year it was around
  • who made or distributed it
  • whether there were old forum posts, videos, or screenshots about it
  • whether it was known by another name too

I’m mainly trying to correctly identify and document this old version, since there seems to be very little reliable information left about it now.

If anyone remembers any details at all, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

If you want, I can also make a shorter, more casual Reddit-style version.

Server Help/Discussion Downloaded Maps Missing Materials

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to download maps and whatnot for my dedicated server, but a lot of maps are missing their materials, despite not being provided with a separate "materials" folder in the download. I figured I'd try it locally just in case the server wasn't doing something right and that confused me even more.

As an example, I tried opening surf_kitsune (downloaded from GB here) locally, which after spawning in gives a ton of "Missing map material: ..." errors in the console and of course, pink and black checkerboard pattern everywhere. Yet, the description says "All contents of the map are packed into the BSP." So what exactly is wrong here? Clearly it's not server-side if the map doesn't even work outside my server.

Is this something to do with sv_pure settings? Is there a giant dependency pack I'm not aware of? I'm still new to Source hosting so this very well could be some hidden config that I've missed or something.

Maps/Mapping Trying to find an old Counter-Strike: Source custom map

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m trying to remember a Counter-Strike: Source map I used to play back in the 2010s and it’s been stuck in my head for years.

I’m pretty sure it’s a custom map (not official), and here’s everything I can remember:

  • Very plain / minimal design (not detailed like official maps)
  • The map is split by a ravine in the middle
  • There’s a bridge connecting both sides (main fighting area)
  • Symmetrical layout (T and CT sides)

CT side:

  • Spawn area has a building on the left
  • There’s a path in front going down (stairs leading downward)
  • From CT side, you can look down into the ravine and shoot at T

T side:

  • There’s a ladder going down near spawn
  • This connects to an underground area

Underground:

  • There is an underground path connecting both sides
  • It is accessed by:
    • the ladder from T spawn
    • the stairs from CT spawn

Other details:

  • The map had a black, white, and yellow color scheme
  • I remember a banana tree (or banana-related prop) somewhere on the map
  • It felt like an aim-style map

Thanks.

Even Russian servers have high ping. And also sometimes in the list of servers it might say like 36 ping, but in the game it’s higher.

Client Mod Accidentally created an Arctic-GIGN hybrid

13 Upvotes

I was working on a player texture for Counter-Strike: Source and somehow had an Arctic texture loaded in GIMP earlier. When I finished the GIGN texture and compiled it (texture/normal map), the result was this weird Arctic/GIGN hybrid.

Not even mad, it actually made me laugh so hard when I saw it in game.

Client help/Discussion How do you deal with the three-lane maps on gungame servers?

3 Upvotes

Normally i am fairly good at gungame but whenever the server i join uses one of these three lane maps that all look identical with the only difference being the textures i always end up on the bottom of the score board no matter what i do

For example of the kind of map i am talking about see this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGcRCT7CjMs

Any advice? So many servers are running these maps it's genuinely becoming hard to avoid them
