hey guys im back (again) with some pics of dogwhite .
r_speeds 700 at them moment i can get them lower but im still making some of it.
please can you come up with some more ideas for a beach map maybe some objectives that havent been done?
OMG!
that's a nice beach you got there... what does it look like without the opengl fog?? ;) just curious because a lot of players don't play with teh f0g.
Objectives?? hmm... the problem with beach maps is that you can't really make many kinds of objectives. Especially for the axis who can do nothing more then defend their grounds.
Charlie is a job well done on the objectives departement. Another territory map isn't really original (thing of dog1!). Hmm.... maybe you should do something like blowing up a bunker or taking axis spawnpoints (use advancing/regressing spawnpoints) untill the axis run out of them and I can't spawn anymore.

I've got an idea, make it an alternate history scenario where the axis are landing on the beaches of one of the allied countries....
Nice map m8, keep it going!
Dredd
05-08-2003, 12:00 PM
i always wanted to make a wake iland type of map nice bright beach etc with allies defending...still i like my spr
Looking good i like the area above the bluff
To much fog
Push your wpolys to 750 if it will help add detail
You should have a few craters on the beach that get blown open (after a certain amount of time) as the allies make their way up the beach giving them more cover
As for objectives i think you should give the allies some launchers to take out one of the main bunkers so it can not be used by the axis make it take multiple hits (5 maybe?) to take out the bunker
And please do not use oversized hedgehog models or brush based breakbeams !

Wish i had time to do a beach map but i am working on 3 maps already as it is :rolleyes:
Maybe once i finish hill_classic
w0w
dont forget to post more screens :P :)
Lookin pretty good, definatly need to show a picture without the fog so we can judge what we are more than likely going to see since most of us don't use fog
it reminds me ALOT of charlie but with less r_speeds

Dredd
05-08-2003, 04:44 PM
do my best ;)
i think this is final design for the *perfect beach map* as i like to call it.
anyways later . sleep:o
Looks great, I've been planing to make some beach stuff, gates and things, I can make them for you if you would like. I like the whole thing with the fog effects and the grass, it is much more open that Charile, that is what I don't like about Charile, you are confined to pathways, that does lead to some better battles, but I tend to have more fun where I can go anywhere. It makes good fun for snipers and sniper hunting, if you want to make people follow a path just make trenches, everyone non sniper or mg will go in them if they aren't retarded. I also suggest advancing spawns, once the Allies break through the beach and capture a bunker, make that the Allied spawn, i takes too long to get from the beach into battle in Charlie.
This map looks promising, do us proud :)

HeadHunter is right ... Beach maps are the Bomb :D
When you have finished the map I'll put it up for ya in the ftp's I can acquire.
Keep it up, it looks sweet so far.
p.s. hope we can one day get all beachmaps ever released in HL2 and DoD v1.0 versions and play till we drop :)

700 wpolys is fine..... until i saw how many hedgehog models there were. for that many eploys you seriously need to consider lowering wpolys
Dredd
05-09-2003, 10:37 AM
well dod_charlie r_speeds are at 1500 on beach... and epolys are higher than mine so i think i should be able to add alots more detail i think..

Not true
Dod_Forest: 765wpoly/over 10000epoly nor preformance hit
Dod_Charlie: over 1200wpolys and way over 10000epolys on the beach slight preformance hit becasue of particle shooters
actually on my PC Charlie is slow because of the high r_speeds...particle effects dont bother my PC

updated pics (without fog) fog looks better tho.
still isnt finished yet got loads to do..comments?
looks nice.
Just make sure a couple of cap points are 2 man caps (the lack of 2 man caps is the main prob for charlie with me.)
it is looking and coming along very nicely... its going to be a great map, i know it! keep up the good work man
Put some black smoke on the bluff that you can see from the beach that looks like something burning using a prtciel_shooter
hey NC17, thats a good idea, then its gonna start to look more like my map then :P
Yo dredd i just had a friend of mine make a model based break beam and 2 different types of pole obsticales for a map i am planning to work on as soon as i finish my current projects
If you would like me to i can send them to you they wil make your map look much better then those brush based break beams you are using
Dredd
05-14-2003, 01:04 AM
that would be great i hate them brushed based things :S
send them to dreddthis@msn.com
thx :D
I have to say that is on par with Charlie, except with much better r_speeds :)
^^
I can't say it's on par with charlie, I'd have to play it, first.
Dredd, are you going to include any barbed wire? And are you still planning on making that town? I think a nice little town in back would be great. It's something a lot of beach maps are missing.
I suggest you put in a town and move that 88 you've got in behind the town. If you're still looking for objective ideas, maybe you could make it a progressive-spawn thing where the allies capture the beach defences, and then the axis spawn back in the town and the allies spawn farther up, and the allies then have to secure the town.

This map looks better than charlie IMO. tis the bling bling.
Dredd
05-15-2003, 02:56 PM
barb wire will be put in just need to model it right.
im working on many changes to the cliff to make it have more of a gameplay.
so far there are 3 ways to get up the beach.
A couple of things, Dredd, that map looks very awesome, but I would like to suggest the following: Move the 88 because as it is, it's pointed right at the back of the bunker, and at that distance without the bunker blocking it, it would be firing out into the ocean. We've seen way too many village themes on beach maps. not every beach has a village right up to the bluff. How about roads/causeways with flooded fields in between? Secure the causeway and the map is capped? It's been a long time since I've read anything about omaha, so I couldn't tell you exactly what was behind the bluff at white sector, but I know it wasn't the most heavily defended, and I don't think the bluff was as high as at dog, fox and green sectors.
Progressive spawns would be really nice, with axis starting in the bunkers, and as the bunkers are catured or destroyed (haven't seen much of that yet...) they spawn further back in the map, simulating falling back as the beach is lost. The german army's strength at normandy wasn't that of their defenses, but their counter-attacks, which never came because they were so confused and disorganized. Every beach map I've ever played, there was very little time actually spent on the beach, the emphasis is always on trench combat. In most areas, americans were on the beach from 6:00 in the morning until well past noon, and many sectors didn't start making any significant progress until the mid-afternoon. Getting off the beach and up the shingle in as much time as it takes to simply walk the distance is not very fun and sure as hell isn't realistic. Maybe have multiple barbwire strings? Mines were on every beach and Rommel was fascinated and obsessed with them, maybe some non-respawning mines on the beach? People ***** about beach maps being axis favored, but hey, I don't ever recall reading about grunts who were there calling the german's "kar whoring campers."
Feel free to ignore all of the above, but in my opinion, all beach maps are too easy on the allies, and lack much atmosphere, which your map seems well on it's way to developing. It looks very good, and looks like it has potential to be a lot of fun. Keep up the good work and think about what I said ;)
Dredd
05-15-2003, 03:50 PM
most of that is very good idea.
i know what your getting at, the map loads you want to be stranded for a few mins while your team mates are trying to help you survive and get up the beach while explosions, fog, sound bullet , tanks, mgs are all around you. then you look up and see axis machine gun men firing as soon as you move from your litte fox whole created by a explosion or mine .then you finally get to the shingle and having lost well over 10 men (in dod that is) and waiting for reinforcements to land on the shore ,but deep down you know that there just gonna get fired apon by the machinegun nest on the left side of the beach,
so you take a your team and get the shingle blown and run into the ditch you have created then getting your main riflemen to take out the mg while you giv him some covering fire from other positions. then finally as you get up the beach you find that there are still gemrans flooding throught in the trenchs firing at you from everywere .
well thats what im trying to do :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :p
its a hard challenge on such a low spec engine but its possible .
just need to get the atmosphere as high as possible and the gamplay perfect
Dont go using charlie's r_speeds as reference
One of the only bad things about charlie is the horrid lagg caused by its huge r_speeds and on beachmaps it is no fun without at least 20 people so keep the wpoys under 800 and the epolys under 10000 if you want the map to be played like a beach map should
The best map to use as a reference for r_speeds right now is forest

This Beach maps looks cool. Cant wait to play it.... But i know feel that my beach map is not as good so i shall work extra hard to make it the Best. One thing that i have noticed is that most beach maps are either made up or based slightly on real ones. But also all beach maps i have heard or seen of are American landings. So my beach maps is one of the Brit landings and i am researching like crazy on it. SO NO ONE NICK MY IDEA!!!!!!!!

I believe that would be because the most heavily defended beaches were in the American sector (correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Omaha was the 'bloodiest' beach of them all.)

HeadHunter

The problem there isn't class limits - it's stupid players.
If I joined that server and saw a team like that, I'd be like "have fun guys" and I'd seek a server with a higher average IQ.
Omg. I've been in servers like that!!! Damn, that's kinda funny about that guy with like, one kill and 30 deaths being a sniper. Still, I much prefer to have mostly assaulting class on beach maps. Bleh.

SOLUTION TO IMPOSE COMPULSORY CLASS LIMITS ON MAPS:
1. Create a .cfg file called defaultsvrsettings.cfg
2. In that cfg, key in your default server class limit settings. Tell admins out there next time to use this .cfg to define their default settings!
3. For every map's cfg (eg. dod_caen.cfg, dod_anzio.cfg, dod_dogwhite, etc.), include the first line "exec defaultsvrsettings.cfg" as a standard for all maps.
4. For your map's cfg, dod_dogwhite.cfg, you can add extra lines to define your own mapper compulsory settings. (eg. mp_limitalliedsniper 0)
5. So, when the map loads, it will always use those settings you entered in the .cfg. Unless the admin is present to manually change that sniper limit, you are safe with a clean sniper-free map! Of course, the admin can also change your dod_dogwhite.cfg, and you won't be able to do anything bout it unless official measures are taken to 'lock/check' that files like what Natural selection did! Is there a simple console command or cfg that can handle such file consistency checking? Anyway, most admins won't bother, so you'll end up with a clean sniper-less map!
6. DO this for version 1.1!
p.s. the map .cfg can be used for mission briefings/instructions, stories, history nonsenese, your own cute stuff, your own cute messages via the 'echo' command. Another cool thing you can have, you can create map specific aliases for your maps to handle some cool team speak. Like have an instruction to everyone "Type tankspotted in the console" to shout out to your team "i spotted the tank!". eg. alias tankspotted " say_team I spotted a tank!" eg.eg. alias barn "say_team He is located in the barn". or alias b3 "say_team Baker 3, the randomly located document is located there in that blue house cuboard!". So, once you spot the objective, key in the coordinates in the console and you shout out a detailed description of the location that pple can't miss! Or you can create yr map specific script Map Communication Menu maybe!!

I don't know about your opinion but I think in the cfg of the map, you should turn the snipers off. It's soley up to you, but I think beach maps are extremely horrible with snipers. The server admins could just go in the cfg and change in anyhow, but I think it would be wise to have them off by default. But it's of course, up to you. Just my .02.

Sounds very much like singleplayer to me.
I think it's possible to tie a monster (axis_grunt), to a func_tank mg42! Then, let him control it automatically. There are instructions of the old Valve ERC. I have the monster mdls maybe worth a try. Perhaps, can have tons of automatic firing AI controlled mg42 firing positions then can't be sniped easily. (a tiny dot...almost impossible) Must be backstabbed from behind.
Anyone got pillbox prefabs for Omaha beach? I got quite a large amount of some of those type of brushwork..
And i guess, if its multiplayer, make the allies respawn 10 times fastter....and add some dday fodder perhaps?

WN62 is the furthermost left draw at Fox Green sector, leading up to the town of Coleville sur mer, which had Germans there. It was later during the day where a few sherman tanks enter ColeVilel sur mer (i have a link to that picture of Coleville sur mer) as the early part of the day had stiff resistance from German forces in Coleville sur mer, similar to what various infantries encountered against snipers from Saint Laurent Sur Mer, the other town on the right, esepcailly since that particular area had no hedgerow cover but was an open 'horse shoe' platform (see contours on the map to understand why) , unlike the coleville/fox-green sector that had plenty of hedgerows.
from a German source
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.militaerhistorie.de/Analysen/Invasion/WN62/wn62.html&prev=/search%3Fq%3DWN62%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26safe%3Doff
Hmmm..would be really cool to have a Flash movie/cartoon to show these events, or even better a real movie!
Unlike most other sectors of Omaha beach like Dog Green sector at Vierville, the Fox Green sector which is farthest east (to the far left flank), had some Allied tanks involved...a few....i think. I dunno exactly but all i know is that some tanks did fight/shoot back (but ninety-percent of the tanks sank or just didn't survive).
Dog white? here's an example done for MOHAa.
http://www.planetmedalofhonor.com/ddaytfs/dw/dw.htm
As you can see from the masthead title image, D3 draw tallies with that "Happy ending photo" on the right. Notice the improved road, and the filled anti-tank ditch.
I dont care if you use real bunker designs but some more attractive ones would be nice
You might a beach map from me pretty soon
DoD_Abfall is comming along quickly now that hill_classic is finished so it should not be far off
Which area of omaha did you chose for lgw ?
Dredd
06-01-2003, 10:47 AM
dog sector i have chosen go to requests on lgw forums and read about what the ideas of the lgw omaha are gonna be.

yeahh release it pls :) - i give u then a dl mirror u want it
Dont hurt me if this was already mentioned (Way to lazy to read 4 pages of stuff...) But I tihnk this would be kinda cool:
Something where if an Allie makes it up the beach, he can use something (Bazooka?) to blow up the front bunkers facing the beach, so itll make it near impossible for Axis to use them properly. It would just be cool to be running up the beach and see it explode in flames and a german flying out i guess :rolleyes:
Just an idea...
PolyHead84
06-02-2003, 01:19 PM
blowing up a german Bunker which consits of tons and tons of Steal and cement with a simple Bazooka isn´t very realistic...
But the Idea itself is good !
Maybe It could be done with artillerie fire which is going down on the German Bunker systems.
Maybe called from a Radio which is laying somewhere on the Beach... The 1st Shot doesn´t need to destroy The whole Bunker. It could be a larger mortarfield with random targeting.
So then perhabs after the 5th shot, the Bunker is Hit and the ceeling comes down on one side so its not longer full useable...
possibly blowing up sand bunkers?
Ooooohhhhh I liek the idea of a downed radio man! Far up the beach in a "Hard-to-get-to" spot you could find a dead ally with a radio on his back, and "Use" him to call in an airstrike that tears up a bunker or two!
I like it... :D

Dredd, I thought that was the layout of LGW's Omaha:confused:

There is another ww2 mod comming for hl2 that will launch soon and will have different (historicly based) sectors of normandy beach instead of just the same old spr inspired thang ;)

Just for some reference...Dog White was between WN70 and WN71 I think...
Wow and by the way you're map has a striking resemblance of the MOHAA beach.

lol, you'll need this:
dod_score_ent
Move to Next Map : dod_dogwhite2 !!!
idea no.1 for all beach maps ...campaign style
After the Allies have taken the strongpoints they go to dod_dogwhite2, otherwise if time limit runs out, the Allies have lost the initiative, and now the Axis are allowed to get onto the beach/beachflat to slaugher the Allies and seize any bivoacs the Allies took along the way, the tide is already pretty high so the Allies have a bit of naval support. If the Allies survive miraculously till time limits runs out, however, then they can mount an assault again...but this time they get lotsa naval support fire, and the sea tide has risen so high to shingle-level and they spawn further up by default and never behind! If they still fail to take the Axis though, then the Axis gets to attack the Allies downstairs again. If Axis fail to defeat the Allies downstairs however, then Allies get to attack the Axis upstairs in the same manner again. Some bivoacs at Dog white sector: Timber Sea wall, Major Bingham's house command post , Stray houses at Hamel Au Pretre....all these are downstairs! Allies can cap them to at least spawn a few stray guys further up. Also, if time limit runs out and Axis attacks then but the Allies own some of these bivoacs, the Allies can hold out there still and hopefully can survive. At low tide, it's not possible to control faraway ships. At high tide, the ships are nearer, so perahps you can have some ship operators to blast some Germans running down the slopes!
BTW, since you are doing Dog White, do you want a historically accruate untextured scale prefab of Major Bingham's temporary HQ, a bivoac house? It's something i made during some short free time at school.

My map is the entire height of the Hammer grid, I literally have only the 64 unit space between the edges that are necessary so that no errors occur. :p
3 quarters of the horizontal work space allows for another quarter of structureal design
You could easily add more . ..

You need to manually func_wall the intersecting brushes.
I suggest you convert the intricate details to mdls!
Also, you need to manually add some of your own interior stuff and blockades if you wish.
And you need to manually texture it!
also, r_speeds isn't a consideration in the creation of this house. So, do tweak/simplify it.

such a loving mapping community.. ^_^
Anyway, the map looks incredible! I am one of the rare that actually enjoy Charlie, but this looks like it takes the cake! (no offense to Charlie or it's creator in the slightest) ... I've tried to make a few beach maps myself (actually, going for a more rocky/scattered buildings Sword/Juno/Gold British/Canadian beach look) but never knew exactly how to START the map... nor what to do with it.. le sigh.
Anyway, keep up the good work, if you need anything at all, I'm sure most of us would be eager and willing to lend a hand.. for the sake of another good beach map! Huzzah.
