looks neat. I like the skybox, it looks unique, and the textures are well choosen as well.

If you need someone for a playtest, contact me or Killa :)

I´ll post some news about it on dodmaps.com as well.

Although I'm groaning at yet ANOTHER snowy map; this looks seriously excellent. It reminds me a bit of the RTCW village map... but somehow obtains originality!

The indoor lighting also looks really good, the way casts a warm glow over the frosty exterior.

:D Very very good.

I vote for Brits despite fact that team f. them up leaving with weak weaponry. Just drop one or two german MGs in spawn.

Rotkopf

The Brits in DoD suck hardcore. So please use US forces instead as long as Brit vs. Germans is "Kar Wars : The Toe Kill Empire strikes back".

Sad but true.

Nice map btw.

Hmm depends on the map.

Jagd doesn't really have rifle wars- I find a lot of people use the FG42 and the BREN, STG44 and the STEN. Rifle wars can also be limited by use of (duh dum) class limitations. Caen is unsuited for the Bren because theres so much rubble n s**t, that its hard in places to whack a Bren on the floor and and get a good sight.

If you make sure theres plenty of back streets (not like Caen - more like Zalec or something) with open houses, then it also wont be a map where attrition rules.

imo that church tower looks wrong.

Anyho, looks like very nice map. Looking forward to play it. Good work.

Howitzer

Wow good work so far. Is this going to be capture the flags or objective style J69L?

Ginger Lord

Looking good but:

That church tower looks a bit unbalanced!

That arch in pic 6, its a bit FREAKING huge judging by the car next to it, its what 3-4 times the height of the car. It looks a bit too high and wide.

RA7

New pics look fantastic.

Silverghost

Its an arch, of course its high.

The map looks beautiful. But the tower needs work.

As for US or Brits, I think Brits would do great. Dont be afraid of rifle wars. That map doesn't look like caen ;), and theres no need for German MG's at the spawn either.

I use the Bren like the Bar and I own face all the time. I can say that map will be great as Brits.

Needless to say, that map looks great!

The map looks awesome. Also I'd say it looks like a brit map. Everyone says their weapons suck but that's just because they don't know how to use them.;)

Any updates on this? :o

It looks very good, however I would prefer Americans vs. Axis but that's just me :)

The town is damn nice.
However, the church tower looks waaay wrong. You have this huge ass square sitting ontop of that other,smaller square. If somebody built something like that in real life it would probably crash.

Craftos
02-23-2004, 01:40 PM
Maybe if top part could be of wood or that german-style walls (visible wooden skeleton "filled" with brighter walls). It would look much lighter even with this size.

Great looking map J69L, keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to playing it on our server. If you need any help with mirrors and such when you release it give us a shout, we'd be happy to host it.

Please use the Americans and not British.

wow. can't wait for this map. for some reason it reminds me of the city in one of the newer legend of zelda games.

The more I see pictures of this map, the more the word "official" comes to mind.

The pictures on your thread and http://www.dodmaps.com look simply fantastic.

Keep it up, go for the official status.

edit: Btw, do you have any pictures of some interior areas? I'd really like to see some.

SWK

This map looks sweet. I like the yellow lantern light effect.

Question: Are you working on a minimap, and if so could you show us a picture 'cause I'd like to get a general idea of how this is set up?

CptMuppet
03-05-2004, 01:23 PM
I agree, this map is a looker.

The lanterns would look better if you set made the light parts func_wall, set the render mode to texture, and render properties to 255. This would make the lanterns look like they are truly glowing.

That is, if you can spare the entity count.

If the gameplay is half as sexy as the look, then this map will prove to be fine indeed!

ROFL! It does! :D

If it combines both elements from both maps... It's a sure-fire winner then. :)

I keep hearing rumors of a playtest Monday. Is this true? If so how can we attend?

It wasn't released. There was playtest few weeks ago, but I don't know what is status now.
