Should be ready for playtesting sometime this week...

The snowfall looks like just you've put a scrolling texture on a not solid func_conveyor with additive rendermode.
You know, there is actually a weather-particlesystem in DoD v1.0.
info_doddetect -> Weather Type -> Snow , done!

I wanted more than 3 snowflakes.

I'm liking the textures alot, plus I do agree that the particle system doesn't do enough snow. I'll have to check this out in-game to see if I like the scolling textures though. Everything looks good, and I already know the gameplay is solid GJ!

a true classic. contact me via email or icq #89454081 OR in our channel #dodmaps @ gamesnet/quakenet for a playtest if you want to. We can run it on our custom map server and I´ve got at least 10 or more willing tester to help out.

Next stop....Kustom Kettle.


:D

this is a great map, gotta love it :D looks so sexy

so how are you going to do this? make the allies spawn with their weapons? or make them steal them from the germans?

Thanks for the playtest offer, Rotkopf - I will take you up on it. There have been some major changes to the map that will affect gameplay, so it needs putting through the mangle to discover any bugs or game imbalance.

Quakah - The Allies spawn with just a knife. I have placed Axis weapons only throughout the map, and this is one issue that I would like a playtest to concentrate upon.

my map is back :D i wait for the playtest.

Rot you was faster ;)

Tolchok, in future, when u preview a map, dont post photos, cos those are clearly real photos of some buildings, do u think we are all stupid :)

god dam, those look as good as hl2 screenshots. u mad man

Mmm what can i say *Drools*

I'm speachless at how great this map looks :D

I'd like some of whatever hes drinking/smoking.

Anyway, this map looks really good now. Can't wait to play. :)

awesome. i love the new snow. i am really interested in playtesting. please contact me via pm or icq #179174731 when its ready for testing :)

Tolchok,

Glad to see you are still around. Festung is looking good. Can't wait for release. I'll be watching for this.

I forgot to mention a couple of things.

First, I've been tied up for about two weeks trying to make the cablecars (func_trains) work properly. I tried hundreds of different combinations to stop the func_train from starting at its destination path_track instead of its starting path_track, and then moving off outside the map. Eventually, by luck I found the problem - which turned out to be a trigger_push brush assembly that 'moves with' the func_train. Once removed it worked perfectly. The purpose of this trigger_push was to keep players in the cablecar from touching the castle side of the car when it moves out of the station - there was a problem with players being killed in a rare but random fashion with this func_train bug.

Second, I have (hopefully) reduced the attraction of camping the Axis spawn exits. There are now autonomous machine guns protecting the short hallways that terminate in the Axis spawn doors. In addition to this, there is now an exit from the Axis spawn straight into the courtyard.

w00t nifty I canni wait for this :D

looks good..

Great Work Tolchok, One of the Best DoD Maps Ever we were really missing.

Let me know when it's done and i'll set up a dl mirror.

ICQ: 11536237 - MSN: bomus@hotmail.com

woohoo my fav. map comming :))

u need a DL Mirror @ Schlex.net .... ? N.p. mailme !

andyschlex@gmx.de

Festung, easily one of the best maps of all time!

Genious of you to updated it to 1.0, because I know alot of people have been asking for it to be updated. Happy to see it done. Can't wait to play this agian! :D

Thanks for the offers of playtest help and mirrors. I'll try to keep you all informed of who's hosting the playtests and when. I'm rendering what will hopefully be the final version now, so if it turns out ok, I'll get it distributed to interested parties and the playtesting can commence :)

id love to play test this.

Awww! Awesome! I loved the old one! Nice work!

one question for ya ;) in this pic Here (http://freespace.virgin.net/es.dawe/visual/Festung/festung6.jpg) you've got some very nice crate textures there, I was wondering where you got those from? wouldn't mind using them in my map :D

OMG Sweet! This is by far the best map ever made for dod. I like the little touches you added. I'm sure you have enough play testers but if not, please mail me at bjpayne03@hotmail.com
or stop by #39th on Gamesnet. Great job, can't wait to play it.

Hellfish

I would love to help out this great map!

Sly Assassin - The crate textures are my own. If you can wait a short while, I'm going to release a .wad file after Festung is finished. I previously said I would do this but never got round to it.
