Hi all,

My new dod map is now ready! So you can take and test it men!

The bsp is too large, I know and it's a problem! It's because the map contain +/- 99% of customs things...but it still a problem. lol

I hope that you'll like my work and that you'll have so fun to play on it!

Have fun !

Yeah ! Great sound ambiance ! I tried it in local, but it looks very interesting to play. It is a very original map, gj Moroes.

Gonna run soon in our server, where you are always welcome !

Frickin Sweet. Getting and looking at it now.

Great map, reminds me of tobruk for dod 1.3.

We had a full server (30 players) and occasionally a number of clients would drop with an HL2.exe error.

I am guessing that this map was too much for some clients systems, a lot of things giong on at the same time probably. I did notice that when the planes flew over that this was when it was happening most.

Some clients crashed and rejoined only to crash again moments later.

Hopefully there is a way to fix this in the next release, cos its one heck of a good map!

Well bummer!
The crash is associated with the setting of a charge on the targets.
It only happens to some players and then only once to them. It will keep happening to new people as they log on.

Moroes, I think the map needs to use default hud objective icons showing the det countdown. Its a Source thing. Dustin and Jake can you explain more fully? I dont speak "mapper" :(

The map itself is a thing of beauty.

A very promising map, will wait for the next version though so more can enjoy it. Cheers.

Nice looking map !!



The crash is caused by the "dod_control_point" entities.

The "point_hud_icon_timercap" should be:

"sprites/obj_icons/icon_obj_allies"

NOT what you have which is:

"sprites/obj_icons/icon_obj_222_allies"

:)

Fantastic looking map...shame about the crashes. :(

Nice work, moroes.

Great map man , THX

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Awesome looking map, the good lighting and the skybox make it look perfect. Had no fps problems either. :)

I've seen that there are two materials you didn't add to the bsp, prolly cause they've not shown up for others. The reason is (for what I know) the leading "\" or "/" in the vmt's path. Under normal conditions Source doesn't care about it, but as soon as it's in the bsp, it won't find the material with the leading slash.

So change
"$baseTexture" "\sprites\obj_icons/icon_obj_222_axis"
into
"$baseTexture" "sprites/obj_icons/icon_obj_222_axis"
and you should be able to pack it into the bsp and get rid of the res file. That's not related to the crash issue tho.

Didn't find any serious bugs, just the "twin tank" (http://stuff.ranson-3.de/dod_rommel_b10000.jpg) (you're probably aware of it already) and the overflying planes not using their "idle" animation and flying slightly sideways. Maybe you should also reduce the number of planes to two or one for performance reasons (meaning the flying ones, since they're dynamics and not statics).

And as a feature request, it would be cool if you could shoot the speakers (or the generator) to disable the siren, unless it's embedded within your soundscape script. ;)

Anyway, very nice map. GJ mate.

cool map :) haven't played it on a full server, but looks very promising.
arrr.... i was going to post the double tank, but ranson already did ;)

Looks really good... from the screen shots.

Thanks all!! I'll correct that bugs!!
Happy to see that you like my map!! :D

Replace the ship cannon models in airplane hangar (????) with the newly made bombs

Follow proper release protocol, tx. I renamed your subject title. :)

Ahh...

I patiently await a fixed verion.:)

daayyyuummmm

It will be corrected!! ^^ lol

Hey Moroes I agree with everyone that you did a great job on your map. Just one question though, what do you set your palm trees to keep them from showing the big red errors to everyone else that sees the map? I've used the skybox palm trees and even the top of the palm tree for scenery and still get this message? I mean I only see 3 props that relate to the Palm trees but I am stumped. Not sure if they are supposed to be static, dynamic, or what?

Thanks.

OK, great map, could not for the life of me find the 4th objective.

Its a really good map !

its running on one of ACCUsers servers but will be on all as soon as possible ;)

Is there a new version out now? That doesn't crash?

OK, great map, could not for the life of me find the 4th objective.

It's way at the back of the map, kinda to the right.

Yes you've just to look the overview! ;) lol
Sell not a new version now because I have a lots of work for school...I must prepare my exams for june so the mapping is not my priority at now! ;) But after I'll continue this map! For sure! lol

i didn't see the icon to the last objective on my overview map.. i know where the objective should be, but that part of the map isn't on it....maybe it's offscreen somehow?

Good luck on your exams Moroes

It's way at the back of the map, kinda to the right.

So "kinda to the right" that its not even on the minimap?

Doesn't feel right.

Yeah, he needs to change the icon to an explosive instead of a vehicle and move it back a little:

Ah, ok, I never thought to look behind a crate when the icon is clearly the vehicle. This should definitely be changed. Plus, given the other objectives, this one doesn't make a lot of sense.

I'll change that ;) I can unserstand it's trouble when you go there and you don't find the explosif place on a car! lol :rolleyes:
Yeah I'll pass my exams with no problems!!! I hope! lol :rolleyes:

This map looks gorgeous! Can't wait to play this on a full server :D

so...is there a temporary fix for the crash problem when planting on the last objective or do we have to wait for the next release ?

it could be fixed with Entspy.... without having to recompile. But that's up to the mapper to decide if he wants ppl changing stuff.

The screen shots look fantastic.
Good luck with those exams, looking forward to your next release with the changes these guys have suggested.
Keep up the good work sir. :cool:

Thanks all!! I'll pass them!! Yeah! I want it! ahaha:D

Got it on the House of Noobs Server.

Great looking map. Unfortunately a big download for clients, and the fps gets a little low during the travel on the sand. All the files should be packed into one bsp file so it is easier for the server admins, and the people who download it from the download sites. They won't be confused on what file goes where.

My $.02 cents!

Okay, my exams are finished, easily finished! lol
So I am working on the B2 men! :rolleyes:

Looking forward to this :)
