Have fun !

cool deal. First off let me say this map was one of my favs pre-source, so I'm excited to see the progress you've made.

Just a few things I noticed:

There seem to be some problems with model view distances. In this next pic, i can see through the axis area to the other side of the hill. It's where the trench and sandbag model are supposed to be.

now the hole is gone (http://imagesocket.com/view/dod_hill_classic_b3000302e.jpg)

Next, where the heck is this light coming from?

Shouldn't this debris be appearing after I blow the wall?

Lastly, did you remove the mortars completely? I didnt seem to notice any random ones, and I couldnt seem to find the shootable ones.

Great work!

Nice map, I loved to play it on previous dod version, good to see it on source :)

running on:-

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

Is it ok to include this version in the latest dodirectory map pack??

Lifted from a post on our forums by a member:



Subject: HILL ROX the HIZ0USE

Body: Can i just say that dod_hill_classic rocks? That used to be one of my favorite maps back when DOD was beta and i'm so happy to see it back!!

Now if only we could get an updated dod_caen and dod_omaha that don't suck i'd be able to die a happy comedian.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments guys, glad you enjoy the map

I do know about the trench and sandbags disapearing while still in sight of the player and this will be fixed in the final release

That light is an indor ambient light comming from the outside, i thaught it looked cool so i left it in but that tunnel might be to short to justify it

And the rubble was giving me a problem when i tryed to start it disabled then enable it after explosion but i have since fixed it

The mortars are there, they should be audible when they go off, they are "random" no controlable ones

As for the console messages about the missing sound files, you might want to try deleting the soundcache for the map and reloading it

All of the custom files for the map are packed into the .bsp and those 2 files are in there

If anyone else gets these messages in their console let me know and i will look into it

The files might have been corrupted durring compression
