Looks great! Everytime you release this one there's always something better than the last one, so I'm adding it to my server as we speak.


GJ!


Ozz

going on gun runners_pub right now!! Thanks!!

I like it

Thankyou for fixing that fence doorway

cannons don't make any sound now (must be a big silencer)

Excellent work!

This is a very popular map :D

Hi wickit,

we love smallhill, its our top server filler. u did a great job.

are there any chances u release an updated "day version" as well?
we played beta4 this morning and most of the players told me they prefer beta3, because the new version is too dark 4 them.

Yes
this was a bit of a test really to see how the players liked it.
if its a mixed review then i will release 2 versions
dod_smallhill_day
dod_smallhill_night

if the general fell is not good then i will revert it back to a day map !!!

as i said before im always up for suggestions to make it a better fun map to play.
:carrot:

sweetness !! what an amazing sky :)
i can't wait to play it this evening!

Failed to load sound "smallhill/night1.wav", file probably missing from disk/repository

Failed to load sound "smallhill/88fire.wav", file probably missing from disk/repository

Darn sorry about that
Server admins use the fix above
see first post

I've uploaded the ver. b4 .bsp and .res files, as well as the sound files in your dod.rar file (as indicated in first post), but I'm still seeing the same error messages as Flash posted above. I've triple-checked to make sure all files have been uploaded correctly to the appropriate places on both our game server and web server, and have restarted the map a couple times...no joy re: those two sounds. :(

The weird thing is, the two sound files were downloaded to my client but they're still not being played.

It all looks nice except for that HL2 dead treeline texture surrounding the map. That needs to go. :)

Oh, it gets even weider.

I deleted the BSP. I downloaded the one from the link above. I tested it locally, everything worked. I tried to join online (sunlit, futurama I think). The sounds stopped working.

BTW there is no problem with Beta 3

Hmm that is strange Coyote. Are you referring to the sound of the flak cannon and airstrike?
They were added along with the res file to all 3 servers as per Wickit's instructions.

When did you have this problem?

In my journey bspzipping custom sounds into dod_sora, I found that if the sounds are put into the folder:

C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\username\day of defeat source\dod\sound\Ambient

They seem to work when BSPzipped from that directory. I also tried a custom folder with sounds and it did not work.

:D

A little more info...

We had four guys from our clan on our server a few minutes ago. One of us could hear the 88's being loaded, the Axis soldier shouting "fire" and then the gun actually firing. The other three of us could not. All of us could hear the shell casings ejecting from the 88's and also the explosion when the shell lands in the Allied zone.

yeah I saw wickit's post and also saw that you guys had added the fix that's why I tested on your servers.

sorry this is causing issues people
i am working on the next version, but triplets are driving me mad...
lol
just kidding
time is tight but i will fix this in the next release

leave the map dark...contrary to popular belief in the dod community..not all combat is fought in broad daylight with crystal clear skies and clear fields of fire where all shots have to be one shot kills, while running dead on at one another blazing away with all weapons....
Make the tiger tanks able to fire toward the enemy when they are capped by whichever side.

Love this map...just played it last night. Fantastic job!!

The poor fellow yelling Medic! needs to go, I think...kind of annoying after a while.

But dang...cool. I love the lighting, the moon, the airstrike looks FANTASTIC. I was on allies, dying like crazy but having a blast anyway. It was worth it when we took the hill.

yeah, i also found him a little misplaced next to the fountain... i would have put him into the small burning ruin near the hedge.... but dead ;)

or remove him completely. the deadbodies suck anyways :D

yep he is gone
sad to see him go tbh

but added some nice touches
plane model on bombing run now with search lights and flak(0o0o0o0)
also tank 1 is now firable :) (will see how that works out on a test run first)
:tnp: <----wtf

Can you make the clouds move so they block the moon light now and then?

I dunno about the tank. Like you said, we'll see how it goes.

Do have one request. Is it possible to make a trigger work for only one team? Right now the allies can fire the 88's, which means a real jerk could intentionally try and kill his teammates and not suffer consequences (since it doesn't count as a kill for him). Axis CAN set off the airstrike too, but is less likely since they will die in the process.

Another interesting (altough useless) glitch I found was in the allied spawn in the room with the fireplace. If you stand on the right side of the table and KNEEL, the left half of the fireplace animation just freezes (but not the right). WTH is up with that? :)

JCC I've actually been trying to do something like this - creating clouds. So far it's been unsucessful. But if it were to work, it would have all the same effects as clouds:
- Moving (attach it to a func_train - or whatever it is - track)
- Can fire nades into it and they'd disappear until the nades start falling
- Affect lighting (possibly)
...and more, probably.

[edit]
is it me? or all of our signatures (suddenly) automatically excluded with our new posts unless we specify to include?

yep he is gone sad to see him go tbh

Don't worry, wickit. He's in a better place now.

yes it is what you want is a "filter_activator_team", set it to "allow" the side you want and give it a name, then in the trigger set the "filter name" and hey presto,

If you want an example let me know.

ahh but there is a problem with that
func_button has no filter !
i already have filters setup for team spawn protection, that works fine.
any ideas on the button thing !

What you can try is in the button flags, set it to locked, then set up a trigger round the button tied to a team filter that on start touch triggers the button "unlock" and on end touch triggers the "lock" again

should see you right
