Special thanks to Shane who arranged playtests and to FuzzDad for valuable technical support!

Feedback is more than welcome ! :)

very nice :)

installed on our server NOW!

will be in map pack #28 this week

Tried twice to download the file and I get a corrupt file both time.

I can host it on a fast dowload if you want, just PM me. I will try downloading it again.

EDIT*** Tried five more time and never get pass 25% of the download. :(

Everytime I download it the download is corrupt. I tried to fix the archive from within winrar but that didnt work either. =(

After trying like 20 times, I finally got a non corrupt file and made a mirror that should download fast (300Kb/s) on DOD federation website:

http://www.dod-federation.com/file.php?id=592

Funny, it works fine for me. Well I should have known... :I

If anyone who has managed to download could host this I would appreciate that very much.

Edit: Your my hero Coolhand ! Thank you!

I think it work fine for you since it seem to be in finland and you must live there. But the host is horrible for us here in North America when we try to download a file.

P.S. Check your PM Dimgora sent you some info.

Mirror WITHOUT the crappy Installer =/

http://www.charliemaurice.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=28

Don't have to call it a crappy installer. From my experience, most user who are not used to winrar or winzip end up not knowing where the file goes.

I know many experience user prefer winzip or winrar, great. Problem is that some user do not have winrar installed. I try to be able to reach new user as well as experience one. I am sure winrar user will appreciate yours, just no need to call this crappy ;)

Wow!! Cool deal, Dimgora, wasn't expecting this one!!

THANKS!!

Thanks Hell Phoenix & theozzmancometh! I think we have plenty of hosts now ;)

Rats!
Just set up a mirror on SunLit Games ..LOL
Glad to see you are being taken care of Dimgora
Verdun_b6 is running on the SunLit Annex. :)

I can do an organized playtest for you if you'd like, where I'd have my guys play with the map with the intent of giving feedback, or if you just wanted a specific time when everyone will know when and where the map will be played.

If not, it's still in cycle on our Pub server.

I like it, with the exception of one thing: The entired Axis spawn fort now kills any Allied player who gets near the doors. I feel that this is a serious mistake, in that now the Allies only have one angle of attack. I am aware that the old way went right through the Axis spawn, and I didn't like that, but I do feel that a cut-through to over behind the tank could be accomplished without giving the Allies access to the spawn.

Played it on a full server tonight and we did have a blast on it. Got great comment from our members. Good job on it. Interior look great too.

Good to hear positive feedback :)

Thanks for the offer Bocasean, but it's has already been playtested few times at CoJ and now I want to see how it plays on pubs ;)

I never thought that allies could use axis fort as alternative route to 1st flag. And that's the reason why the bunker is designed like it is now. But I'll think about it.

Ít's quite small in terms of mb's. That's nice.

Dwnlding right now and will try it out.

AHAHAA

I see by favorite bunker is back!!! ;)

BTW mappers - If you want to know what a proper bunker looks like, look at his main middle bunker!

Been missing this map, can't wait to try it out

Heh, I like to make bunkers ;) Actually the hole map started from the one in the middle.

I uploaded the map for you here
http://csm2.net/view_map.php?map_id=2502

If you update it ,email me a new link and I'll upload the new er version.

If you want comments in the comment section email me.

Hi Slackiller.

Where's Tommy14 these days ... His mapping knowledge was second to non, The Bunkers rocked.

Back on topic ... I still ain't played this map yet ... sorry :tnp:

I email him every now and then. He moved on to real life things.

Maybe someday he'll return :dog:

If anyone else wants the overview back, all I had to do to do it was rename the one from b3 to b6, edit the text files (vmt, txt files) to change b3 to b6 within them, and I get an overview fine. I even made a .res file on my server so it autodownloads.

cracking map

Hope the author doesnt mind and please let me know if its an issue and i'll take this down.

But ive created a small zip file of the files you need to get the Map Overview working on B6 using the overview files from B3 via the method suggested by Ratty. Stuck these on our server last night and works a treat. Good spot Ratty

The vtf / res / txt files are all edited correctly, so nothing to change, just extract this to the DOD folder on your PC / Game Server and Webserver if using sv_download URL

the VMT file has been already bzipped up for the Webserver .
