EDIT 07/06/03: I apologize guys...I may not be releasing just yet...working on gameplay and other things.

Ok guys, here we are again. I'm posting some new screenshots of my map DoD_Campagne as per a few people's requests.

Without further delay, here are the pics:

Enjoy.

:D

Awesome man!

beautiful

Sigh...lol.....i miss the bright cheery look..

But this atmosphere is pretty cool....dark...forecasting rain and storm.

I was thinking, use a multimanager (random choose 1 weighted) on the start of every round to determine whether the next round rains (by swapping info_doddetects when u switch the master). Then, when pple play the map for the 2nd or later rounds, they start exclaiming "hey!! it's raining!! LOL". Just a nifty feature for added realism and atmosphere. It may rain/may not rain...so there's some randomity involved. I'm sure u know about the Mulberry storm duriingg D-day days....

campagne05.jpg reminds me of MOHAA tank combat. I was thinking it would b cool to enter the tank and start blasting at every enemy with the turret!! Maybe use a trigger to some dod_camera + the tank controls...thus u get 3rd person tank blasting view MUAHAHAHAHAH! It would be even cooler to drive along those tracks!!

Are thoes ground textures from DoD or did u edit/customise them? If i were to make such similar textures, what textures could i use or refer to and what hues should i use? THey look very NOrmandyish...reminds me of CLose combat infasion Normandy. I must say i hope u release those lovely ground textures. (the grass ones). But then again u wouldn't want all the maps having textures looking like yr map. So...maybe tell me how u did it so tat pple can diy.

Awesome inded.

Hehehe...a lot of people say they liked the old lighting, but the truth is, it just didn't work with the new textures. The current lighting really brings out color in the textures and gives the map a unique feel...I experimented with some other (sunny) lighting settings and it just wasn't the same. I owe a lot of thanks to kleinluka for the lighting settings and above all, the textures. If it weren't for him the map wouldn't look half as good as it does now.

thats incredible! i just played the bocage level of moh:aa. this one looks really similar. just awesome. i love those settings, with a small village and a few bushes here and there.

im just sitting waiting for the release so we can start the movie..lalala.. *twiddles thumbs* oh, looks like were gonna be changing the script alot, this new version here looks way diff then the one i got :)

No Marder :(

glidias:

i made those from scratch. the point was to intensify the "normandy style" look of the map. the textures will be part of my new wad which should be out soon (not that soon but soon)

[edit]
as for the country lane:
a similar, higher res countrylane texture i made, can be found here (http://kleinluka.inwdungeon.com/demo/countrylane.jpg)

its unbelieveable that talentet mappers like u can get such beautiful things out of this old hl engine...

awesome !

Amazing work, andy. Played your first attempt on this map (brighter) but now it looks much better. :)

This looks very beautiful. Looks like there's too much good maps for dod now as well... Harder to get publicity for own pieces of work. *sad*

Looks very nice, i like the details, the telephone wires, the tank track in the mud

also the random rain idea would be good, but it would never rain for me :D (particlefx 0)

Gold.

GJ Andy and kleinluka!

Yeah very very very good!!! but... in french "jaques lavalle" is spellt "jacques lavalle" with a "C" btw it graphically kicks ass!!!

<[iNw]Andy> the guy was drunk on wine when he painted the window

this has GOT to become an offical map :D

Now that looks like a map I actually would enjoy playing. Are you really sure its the halflife engine you are using there? :D

Sorry, I'm bluffing, I'm actually using the Q3 engine :P

No, really, it is Half-Life. Gotta love the alpha-channel support for models.

i guess i can safely post this pic then, too:

Damn, it's almost good enough to live there, except for the sporadic gunfire and tanks and the like.

hey! stop sending in photos and calling them screenshots :)

Great work, be nice if custom maps were played more often. All that work and great looks would be going, not to waste, but alot of effort for a low amount of play time. Looks great, hope the gameplay matches.

Good stuff indeed.

well we're still hoping for it to make it into 1.1 so who knows.... :)

*Marlon Brando voice* Words........cannot...describe it...

looks great, now for the gameplay. :D

and if we can turn rain on like that I've just had some great ideas for maps.

Dam thats nice :D

Can't wait for release :D

Uber nice.

You can always hear the rain :D And for pple with cl_particlefx 1, they would change it to "2" just to satisfy their curiosity. LOl....gimmicks!

multimanager has a Master. Create two multimanager versions (one will be active, the other will be inactive via ~mastername, mastername). trigger_auto the currently active multimanager at the start of every round. That multimanager would then trigger the approiate ambient_generic.

We(Frenchies) spell it Jacques, not Jaques. You might want to edit it. :)

as I said (or andy for that matter), the guy was drunk while painting on the window ;)

Very nice indeed, will pimp the pics.
Btw if u need a mirror, PM me.

We may get tired of waiting on the map, but we'll never get tired of seeing screens and previews. This map looks to be the greatest map ever for DOD and yet again shows the dedication and professionalism of the -iNw- crew.

Playtesting went great - the gameplay seems quite solid (a lot better than I had originally thought...the map is kind of enigmatic in that when one runs around in it the map appears confusing and huge...when playing it, the layout eventually becomes obvious and it's very fun, or so I'm told ;)) Now it's time for optimization and a few other 'things' ;)

Anyway...release won't be as soon as I expected or may not even occur...I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. My aplologies...I know I've been keeping you all waiting for a very long time...I'm just trying to get the map as solid as possible in all departments. I'll try and keep you guys updated on the status.

I've been waiting since 2.0 days when this map was called dod_countryside :D I'm sure we can all wait longer, maybe it will be included in 1.1? Who Knows. :)

I was wondering if you could show, perhaps a layout. I'm very interested on how you went forth with it.

Ask and you shall receive:

Here's the overview (made by my good friend Hoooogaaan):

http://users.invasionworks.com/~andye/overview.jpg

wow, from the overview, the map looks very big!

it IS big.

GIMME GIMME GIMME!

Just remember...only the tan-colored "shaded" part of the overview is the actual map...Dan added in roads and buildings around the map to make it look like it isn't just an isolated area in the middle of nowhere.

well we're still hoping for it to make it into 1.1 so who knows....


that would be justice. i so hope it gets in. good luck with that. and send the team some litte "presents" too.


also, looking at that overview, im trying to make a relation to other maps. is it say...bigger than jagd? also, is it equal and warable?

wow...

Yep, yep! very nice indeed.
The graphic quality matches the mohaa maps...
Ive already said this a thousand times but ill never get tired: Dod brought the half life engine beyond its limits.

What exactly do you mean?

Nice to see the layouts not changed much, much fun running down the bridge as an allie to have about 10 axis come round the corner and down the hill.

:D

Don't you mean "Dod pushed the HL engine to its limit(s)"?

pretty good, no where near mohaa standards, i donno why ppl would say that. anyway some things need work>>

pic1 - its too sparse, that open field needs filler, also the double layering thing with the hedge and the foliage behind it looks wierd and very unnatural

pic2 - again a lack of effective cover it looks like

pic3 - theres a blatantly misaligned texture bottom-center

pic4 - that stone wall texture seriously needs replacing, as does the window frame trim, door frame trim, and the wood beams dont really work on the exterior of a building like that, turn it into a stone trim

in general some of your textures need to be downscaled, this map is lacking "oomph" if you know what i mean. needs something spectacular.

Duly noted...but I will tell you now, it is hard to judge the map without looking at it in-game.

andy, gameplay wise, so far, is it an equal map? or will one team dominate? i know you havent played it much, but is it easier for a particlular team to win? do you use an in build timer? (dont think so cause both teams have objectives ala jagd)

its just that the built in timer, where one team "defends" arent really good for wars and competition matches. Is campagne an objective map that is suitable for wars?

I've done a bit of work lately after receiving some feedback from playtesting.

Each team has three objectives, and there's no timer - the map is very balanced now. Neither team really dominates the other.

3 objectives each = winner.

thats great.

allies - two tanks and the telepone wires. that right?

axis - two bridges, with sachet charges on the other side, and ????

or they very different since lats time?

Both teams having their own objectives? I like the sound of that. So both sides can either rush to get things done first or actually use TEAMWORK and some do objectives while some hold down the fort. Of course with both teams doing this...this will make for some interesting matches.

Certainly was fun in b1, look better than some offical maps and played better than them back then. This should be super.

Or as you Yanks so

"Its gonna be tight"

:rolleyes:

Lol, I'm a Yank and I never say that :P

Yep, the current Allied Objectives are to destroy two tanks and cut telephone wires. The Axis (er should I say Fallschirmjaeger) objectives are to go across enemy lines, steal explosives, and destroy the two bridges. They also have to destroy the church tower to prevent Allied artillery spotting. The fact that the Axis have to move across and back is because the bridges are fairly close to their spawn - it's more of a balancing act so each team has to walk about the same distance. When I designed it, it was more of an experiment - I really wasn't sure how well it would work. Now, after playtesting the map quite a bit, it appears to work quite well.

is there a release appointment ? :confused: ;)

no

Hope youve kept the secret room + wav. That was so funny hearing it blurt out across the map in early testing :P

I took it out because you found it :P
I also need all the entities I can get.

NOTE: I've edited the original post regarding release...won't be releasing just yet.

Thanks for posting that klein :D

The map looks amazing, aesthetically and gameplay-wise. I love maps like Glider and Zalec (with unconventional objectives), so this one pleases me very much. From the screens I'd say the quality is better than some of the current official maps we have right now.

Keep up the good work! :)

Hoping for 1.1

I can promise you, this is a fun map. The unique objectives are very interesting and the map is a fun challenge. Really good for team-oriented players.

wow that looks amazing! can´t wait to play it! :D
