Please post bugs, sugguestions and IPs of servers that are running the map here, have fun!

This was a favourite of mine in 1.3 ( years ago ) so i'll mirror it.

Thanks for all the hard work m8 ;)

Great map!!

but the mortars sound isnt good (in my opinion)

thx!

man it just get better and better :) yet another favourite :)

Running on our server:-

195.242.236.212:27045 !! INX-Gaming.co.uk >> dodirectory.com - 66 Tick

Ok to include this in the next official dodirectory map pack??

Im glad you lik ethe updates, the mortar sound is the best one i ould find in the default dod sounds so sorry about that . . .

And of course you can add the map to any mappack you like

mirrored also at WQ -> http://www.woodquarter.org/phpbb_board/dload.php?action=file&file_id=17

will be tested today on our Server

from screenshots it looks very good ;)

Fun map
Nice to see that 1 pack detonations are possible

I still havent been able to play my map with anyone else yet . . .

I tryed to start my own server to play with a friend but my router is giving me a hassel

played it today and was funny (32 slot server) - just the last flag is nearly impossible to take :(

my fps were also very bad - 9-15 fps (normaly 30-50 fps) - maybe put some mortars for allied which fires direct to the first flag from axis or something like this.

i find the map realy good but it needs some small improvements (fps, some possibility to take last flag, maybe more detonation walls).

the last flag was always hard to take in hill

You nailed it on this release Someth|ngW|cked,

It's just like the hill (classic) of old. People are already crying about being sniped by the germans. It just takes teamwork by the allies. Oops I know teamwork is a bad word to some, but you can't be a lone ranger on this map and expect to cap it.

I do have a request though. Would you consider making a version with a forest of trees in the valley and maybe some scattered trees along the upper pathways and calling it hillforest or something?

Thanks,

JCC

yeah i agree, the map is ok, it just needs more cover for the allies and then it will rock.

i've limited snipers and mg's to 2 per team and it was not so critical with being killed too early.

but a fortrest of trees could help with FPS i think becaus you don't see the whole map permanently.

This map is now available in dodirectory map pack #38 - now hosted on a new server - you should get your maximum download speed (well up to 100 meg ;) )

I was thinking about releasing a snow version of the map which would improve fps because it would get rid of the water and water fog that is in the map, the water fog draws multiple sprites which are drawn from almost everywhere in the map and the water itself is an obvious fps killer on most cards

As far a doing a forest i might do that some time in the future but for now i am going to concentrate on finishing dod_gamein before i do any major changes to hill_classic

I run the map at around 40-50 fps average which is what i get on most other stock maps so i am not sure why your getting such a huge fps drop
