Heya,

As you may know, the first two beta versions of DoD_Nuernberg have been rated "way too large" for servers reaching less than 32 players.

So I decided to rework the map and downsize it a bit. At the same time, I was asked to keep the XXL-version alive aswell for the really big servers out there.

Right now, the "little brother" is about 25% smaller than the previous public versions and future betas will have the ending "24".

To give it some distinction from the large versions, which will be called "Nürnberg32", I added a rainy, gloomy ambience with fog, rain and wind to Nürnberg24 while Nürnberg32 will keep it's unique feeling (thanks to piu piu's skybox :) ).

Another point that was critisized was the flag management with six flags of whom two were 3-player-caps, 2 2-player-caps and 2 1-player caps.

Nürnberg24 will therefore run with only 4 flags, 2 2-player-caps and 2 1-player-caps.

Apart from that, the overall fps are a bit better now (managed to replace about 150 textures in the 3d-skybox with "nodraw" due to the layout changes), some eye-candy has been added and some bugs have been fixed.

Oh well, enough blabla for now :p

Release will be within the next days.

It mostly needs excessive testing now, aswell as probably a bit more brightness.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Albatros

As you know, we truly enjoyed the Nürnberg map, and as you mentioned was just to big for our 20 man server. This is indeed a welcomed addition and is much appreciated for us small servers. Thanks.

We also run a 20 man server, so this is going to be perfect. Looking foward to it Albatros.

excellent way of thinking thanks Albatros - two birds with..ok two slightly different stones :P

We shall also give the 24 version a run on our 20 slot server :)

Cheers!
