not sure if anyone here has played this map, its kinda a TFC and DOD combo and i'm sure all the purist will flame me for mentioning such things but. . . .

I found this map on a custom map server, and i thought the gameplay could be interesting on my private server. i downloaded and installed the map on the server. here is where the problem begins.

Nobody will spawn. we'll just sit there in "free look" mode and can "fly" around the map.

Anyone have a clue why this happens? didn't happen on that pub i it on.

also the map has a 60 second timer before a gate opens that is between the 2 teams. is there a way to change this to 5 or 10 seconds?


the IP of the server that plays this map is : 66.79.163.120:27015


let the flaming begin. . .

Never heard of it.

Someone in the Mapping Forums might have though.

It's a cool HL map that was converted into TFC, kinda fooling but very very fun... much more intresting than all those pool cs maps and stuff like that.

anyway... i don't see how it can be played with DoD ()_o

its actually an interesting DOD map, one team has a flag and must carry said flag to a certain "capture point" while the other team defends the capture point. the textures are far from anything WW2, but its still a good team play objective.



just hoping some admin in the DOD world had some experience with this map.

if you get curious the server at 66.79.163.120:27015 (thcgl.com)has dustbowl in their map rotation, check it out.

Its probably simply because its a TFC map that has simply been renamed to DOD_ therefore it still has all the TFC dynamics and cant be played by DOD... perhaps the map rules are not telling DOD to let people spawn

OR

someone converted it to DOD_ and did a crappy job.. not letting you spawn



Theres probably a Good DOD_ version out there or a server cfg that will allow it to run... Im not an admin so i can only speculate

GL trying to get it to work... ive played it on TFC, i bet its fun with DOD

i have played it before successfully on a public server, but i wanted to play it on our private server. So i know it can and does work - was hoping for some input from someone familiar with the map.

Unless you use Stripper, it is a lost cause. Even with Stripper, you have to know what you are doing.

Good luck.:D
