Hi all.

I have some great news about my map. Kleinluka spent massive amount of hours to retexture Northbound and here's the result.

Kleinluka did amazing job with the textures and I really appreciate it.

Here are some pics. They might be a little dark because of my gamma settings but klein will post some more brighter shots.

I hope you like it :)

yeah here's some brighter pics. They are still dark but night maps are supposed to be dark aren't they? Not shown in these pics are the balcony models by flomatic which are being skinned as we speak and we might be dropping in some more detailed prop models for indoors to 'unborify' the houses a little from the inside.

Enjoy.

yay..

damn nice.. me likes :)

cool :cool: this map looks much better(but it was already good offcourse :cool: )

nice:D

Northbound is teh win :D

Great job.... may I say as usual? :P

Very nice, any change of a FINAL release before Christmas?? :)

:eek:

The best got better
The amazing got more... amazinger... :p

Very very very nice :D

This is one of those maps that - IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT.... GET IT!!!

Great Map, Great Gameplay... and now??? GREAT Textures!!!

:/

Add some craters, and a burning tank or two wouldn't hurt.

Looks great!! Where's the map download?

good work guys.

great...

just great

Wow, it looks wonderful! :) I love the houses w/ the snow on the windowsills.

I agree w/ Insta that a crater or 2 or a couple wrecked vehicles would help w/ the WWII ambience, but I can vouch that the gameplay is incredible. We've been playing this map a LOT at CoJ lately and its truly a blast!

Wow good work guys!

I know it doesn't have to do with the re-texturing but I would just like to see more furniture and stuff inside the houses. They just seem sorta empty at the moment.

This damn better go official *shakes fist*:cool:

omg, pwn. But not as pwn ad dod_mantrain.

lol:o

I love the map. Alot. But you know what would make it that much better? MORE SNOW! That would add alot to the map, and it would make things feel tighter and closer. Just my opinion. Oh, and make it a night map. Really night, not just dusk.:)

Yeah more snow! :> especially on the roofs..

more snow ? all the textures are snowyfied to the max. I don't want to make the whole map WHITE lol

but hey i think you can change the particle settings to drop more snow flakes at once if thats what you meant by 'More snow'.

How about a snowman you can destroy? :)

what about a snowman that shoot back when you kill him ^^

You could pack him w/ TNT? Shoot him enough and he blows up w/ a nice blast radius.

Put him at the 2-man center cap point. :)

I know if this was to make it "official" such shenanigans wouldn't cut it, but, its a funny thought. :)

this is not meant to be a "fun map" ;/
it's a "serious" map


eh. get it ? :D

nah, no need for gimmickey things like that. its a top map already. one texture you forgot was the shrub / bush outline texture. its getting old as every snow set map has it. please create a newer one, or even put in a second layer behind it to create a'depth' effect.

was.... not..... being..... serious.... :)

SKDR + Klien = teh winn4rs

this map has official written all over it.

Hehe thanks all.

The map is already full of snow so that's not the problem ;) Kleinluka did amazing job with the new snow textures.

Anyway. I would like to wish everyone merry xmas and happy new year!

i second that. Have a great one everybody. and thanks a bunch for the nice comments!

Happy Holidays back atcha! :)

skdr, one comment that a few on CoJ have made recently, is that the lampposts are not far enough off the wall to squeeze between them and the wall. Unless that's a desired effect, maybe you could move them off the wall a touch?

Just a thought.

Thanks for the fine map. :)

some more pics just in time for xmas

Yep. I'm looking into these lampost issues and they will be fixed :)

Thanks.

I'll keep you guys updated. Im going to post some new screens soon so stay tuned :)

Click for new pic (http://www.persikka.com/~skdr/dod_nb.jpg)

I've done some work on details. I added prettier roofs to houses and made some nifty balconys.

Hope you like it :)

Oh snap that pic is hawt. Good job skdr/kleinluka! If this forum had the old smilies like on the old boards I would put one of those headbanging-rawking smilies. ---> :rawk:

hey... wow

nice changes! really cool textures :)

cant wait to see this eye candy ingame ;)

hey sdkr nice! but imo ( just mo :P ) you should shorten up those
beams that hold up them balconies

those beams were the first thing my eyes hit when i opened the screen :)

Yeah they seems to look a bit long from that pic but when you look from the streets they arent so bad imo.

Drop me a msg at irc and I'll drop you the latest build to check out ;)
