;)

Thanks tone.:D

Ack, sorry. Long day. Fixed now.

Just uploaded and played it shortly on our server.
my first thought : jesus, how will i miss these long-range fights on the fields.
maybe u shortened the fields too much.

anyway, apart from the shortened fields, the map looks fantastic.

good job, rolk.

Thanks rolk, adding to gun runners_pub right now!!

Thanks Rolk, can't wait to try it out.

Mirrored @ Ozz also m8.

Updated our server with the new release. Thanks, Rolk! :cool:

Given the comments about the shortened fields and that being one of the reasons i loved the first version, gonna add this rather than replace the old one... so rolk u lucky thing you now have 3 maps on SAS

How are the frame rates for everyone?

For me its fine, but wanted too see what its like a full server. Despite the map being out for 1 day I'm already planning things for the next release ;)

Is it just me or does everyone else not get any sound on flag caps?

frame rates are decent.. only problem I have is a drop leaving the US spawn. ..

I loved playing V1 and when I played this one I was all confused :confused: but I love the changes. Keep up the great work.

Yes Colster, same here. Missing the capture sound.

Bugs? Other opinions?

we played the map over at bfe for 6 hours with 9on9 players

biggest complain was that the axis players had significantly less fps than the allied players

just facing the allied spawn will kill your fps
people said it was so bad that they used mp40s instead of rifles to be able to do some damage

ill get people to post some feedback

oh ye, you can stand on the far right sandback at the axis 2nd flag and snipe into the allied spawn exit
not really a bug but it looks odd

As was mentioned the FPS issue. When I played the allied side, I was getting 20-30 FPS consistently. When I played on the axis side, I was getting 7-15 FPS consistently (others were reporting this as well). On the Axis when you turned around facing backwards (the direction the Allies face) the FPS were at the normal 20-30FPS. There has to be something on the Allied side of the map that is causing the Axis FPS.

FYI basic system specs: P4 3.0gig, 1524 megs DDR2 ram, Geforce 6600GT (so I shouldn't be getting 7 FPS even in a firefight)

One suggestion, I would recommend raising the wooden fence at the perimeter of the map a little bit (a foot or so). That would offer more concealment to people running from their spawns to the 1st and 2nd flag. Often you can see the helmets running way back at the distant corners of the map and pick them off with a sniper rifle or MG burst (I did this quite often shooting the MG from the sniper building steps rail to the Axis 2nd flag area.). The middle fences are fine as you want to be able to see over them from the sniper buildings 2nd floor.

All and all a nice map if you could resolve the FPS issue from the Axis side.

I was accused of wallhacking as an allied because I was standing on the cart by allied second and shooting OVER the fence towards axis one.Maybe move th cart, raise the fence.also axis mg would just spray the fence and kill ppl way back by allied first and across the map to left(allied left) 2 man cap.

Yeh I noticed if I stood on the cart, the axis snipers didnt seem to see me, they hate getting headshotted by a garand lol
