Heya sirs
Despite of all the excitment caused by Steam, I finally decided to start the development, in time, of a D-Day airborne map! ;)

Morning of June 6th, american paras versus german paras near Ste mère l' Eglise.
A ton of rubble and destroyed buildings. It's raining. 3 flags, not linear.
A cool new ambience sounds was created for it.
2 custom models of Tolchok are used (fantastic models, man).

I couldn't get jpg pictures with a decent resolution, so here's a zip with 3 bmp screenshots (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/kruger/maps/veteran_screenshots.zip) 647Kb.
Some friends do appear on the screens :p

nice one & more from this :cool:

the players on the screens looks like bots :D

looks like a nice start :)

What excitement is that? Did I miss something?

Anyways looking very nice, I like the lighting. GJ

yer. teh lighting is sexy. good job.

awesome map so far, in the movie The Longest Day, i think its that movie, well paras land in st mere's town square on a church, just wondering but do you have a pic of that if its in your map.

MYTHIC:

Im THRILLED to see and actual BOMBED OUT TOWN with lots of RUBBLE.

All these new maps like Melt are great, but for god sakes there so clean and "intact" that it doesnt feel like DoD used to feel, like in 3.1 where maps were gigantic destroyed cities with lots of cover and hiding spots.

Ive been looking for maps like thunder that have the dark, bombed out atmosphere to them. Keep it up.

I second what VooDoo said, we need more bombed out city maps and yours looks like its gonna be nice.

Any chance of more pics? Something with more of the map in them. :^)

Looks good

Looking good so far..:-)

looking good, some nice lighting effects in there!!

For those that don't want to download the zip, I made some .jpg's (hope you don't mind!!) - I set the quality to 100, so no quality loss :)

Just saves the hassle of opening a zip file :P

Ok thanks the map has kinda seriously grown up, even if steam wants me to play CS LOL.
