Space Marble Unlimited

A fancy, new type of CS:GO map where the physics are tested to the limits! What better way to do so than with a Marble Track?



This map features the following:

• An unlimited supply of marble balls that can manually be added
  
• 9 planets and sun + moon totalling 11 different marble balls
  
• An extensive track that is completely regular and looped
  
• Fully automatic. Add balls and enjoy!
  
• Anti-stuck & anti-fall systems (which are as good as they can be)
  
• 5 soundtracks which are played randomly

The idea for this marble track comes from nothing more than the fact that planets are round, making them one of the most perfect marble balls to use (and a big thanks to James Hastings-Trew of which I received permission for using the planet textures in my project). It has been tested at least over 74 times (I have lost the count from there on) and I tried to rectify every single part where it could get stuck.

Wall Worm Model tools is in my opinion the best plugin that has ever been made for 3DS Max and allows you to model and create your levels inside of 3DS Max. The map is entirely made inside of 3DS Max with the aid of Wall Worm Model Tools[dev.wallworm.com]. Huge thanks to Shawn Olson for this, as otherwise this map wouldn't have been here. You can learn more about it with this guide[www.wallworm.com] as well, which will help you into designing levels for Source in a way that Hammer simply does not allow you to do, opening the possibilities to create lifelike maps for CS:GO or CS:S.

GameBanana is a gaming community that offers contests for a vast amount of games weekly that all have their own theme and rewards contest entrants who participate and win a spot in the TOP 3 or TOP 5 (depending on the contest). The majority consists of Source contests for games like CS:GO, CS:S or Portal (2).

Regardless of efforts, these are some of the things that could happen:

1. Balls can get stuck into the collision at the divider. They will be thrown out until it's free again.
   
2. Balls can get piled up in the blockpart just before entering the first ferry wheel. They WILL unpile them, it could even take up to a minute, but thanks to the extra siderooms added they can now unstuck themselves. Happens rarely.
   
3. Balls can potentially get stuck in the ferry wheel ONLY if it's overloaded with 3 or more balls in a slot. Happens very rarely but if it does, don't worry as it will spew them out until it rotates again.
   
4. Rarest case (only saw it happen once) is when 2 balls collide at the opening slot at the second extremely long push up (after having gone down the starspiral in the cylinder. It DOES undo itself but could take over 10 mins (as it was for me). If you don't want to wait that long, restart the map (or kill yourself).
   
5. Very rarely, a ball may block the rotator before the long star cylinder, causing a pileup in the previous track and blocking all balls. Waiting out more than 5mins is possible, but it WILL unstuck.
   
6. Randomly, a ball might lose collision. This is a CS:GO specific behaviour and cannot be fixed. It happens so rarely that you'll probably won't even notice unless you were close by.

Load up the map, and noclip yourself (enable sv_cheats). You can remove your HUD and viewmodel with the button(s) below the planetary spawning platform. (Where also a (useless) noclip and music muter button are).

Enjoy as you go along the track. Observe the balls and how they travel through the tracks. You cannot move the balls nor block them in any fashion. The balls are server sided, henche why there's only one human slot...
You can add extra balls as many as you want! There is one button per planet. Additionally, there is a large button on top of the spawning platform to spawn 10 marble balls at one time. Spawning until the entity limit is reached is at your own risk as it will crash the game and send you to desktop.

Music will not play if you have music on 0, but if you have music enabled and want it muted anyway, there's a button for that.



I tested up to 500 marble balls at which point my FPS runs at a stable 100 (as opposed to 224). As soon as balls pile up somewhere (see aforementioned points) it can go to well under 5fps. Waiting out helps in almost all cases, except for one of them listed as well. Other than that, you can keep on adding until your PC is satisfied. Depending on the CPU, it can vary wildly.



The model of the spiral marble part (which comes after the rocket) is intentionally see-through from the outside as otherwise you have to look it up from above at an uneasy angle.
The following commands for the round are applied automatically, so there's no need to use any commands yourself except for noclip:

• mp_roundtime 20
  
• mp_freezetime 0
