I found the old Classic Map dod_nijmegen in my maparchiv ... the gameplay on this map is very nice .,.. the map works with dod 1.0

hmm ... i hope a mappe make a nice remake from this map for dod 1.0 ... like the remake from dod_hill_classic ...

ok here is the downlaod link

Hmm... I see mapping has come along way since then :)

oldschool.

Nah. Not oldschool. Nimwegen was never a very good map, it suffered from horrible bottlenecks and it´s layout is poor compared to nowadays standards. It scored only 25/40 even back in 2001.

There are loads of better designed custom maps out there.

What is this thing with quoting each other? If you have nothing to say then don't bother posting, quoting someone else just shows you cannot speak your own mind effectively without a script. :P

And yeah, Nijmegen wasn't too good. It had some decent areas but overall it was pretty poor. And it didn't look good.

The setting of the map was not that bad!!!
Perhaps there is a mapper out there that will try to make a remake as Schlex suggested!! Would be nice to see a bridge map in the looks of "modern" 1.0 maps!

But it has that spawn camping spawn point! Cmon!

Yeah, an arhem, or other market garden map would be really cool, however I think it would be pretty hard to make a nice looking bridge and river given the size and whatnot, it would have to be fairly long to look good, but then you need something to fill it up...

I like the look of kominaaa'z blitz map thats arnhem at night, perhaps he should make it a full map...

Yeah, and the axis are hurled onto the bridge and can't turn around and go back. This map was disappointing.

hmm in a remake map this thing can be fixed then the axis use some ways to storm out from the spawn .,.. :p

Your thinking too hard about it, he did it because whatever he quoted was exactly what he wanted too say. It'd be pretty dumb if 3 people said the same thing when someone else said it. This way, they can show their opinion, and reply to topic instead of just typing something else some else typed. And in big threads it makes it easy to tell who you are responding too if you are argueing or commenting on something a few posts away.

And yeah, that looks real old school. You can tell its old just by the lack of detail in it. Never played it, and by the response, never will.

On the quoting thing. If you have nothing to say, then don't bother. It's annoying to go through threads and see people just quoting eachother without saying anything themselves.

it's as "dumb" and useless as is just repeating the same thing in your own words. Just another way of spamming.

Im making a totally new version of nijmegen, but i ran into a problem (not with map, w/ vhe) and im trying to fix it, ill probably have to start over :\, i had the british side about 60 % completed too :/

good luck man, those bridge maps are a pain to make look good without high r_speeds

btw, did someone kill IR? I've been interested to hear about how his Holland map is doing?

There was dod_arnhem, the bridge in that was huge, took a good 30 seconds to cross and had a 2 man capture flag on it behind a tank.

I dont know id dod_arnhem was a good map from a mappers perspective ?
It was good fun to play from my own point of view though.

Some screenshots of it :-

I saw that Totenkampf is working on a totally new ARNHEM at:-
http://lanmaniax.punkassfraggers.com/maps/html/dod_arnhem.htm

yeah, dod arnhem had a massive bridge, and massive r_speeds

There was an Arnhem that came out in b 1.0 or 1.1, can't remember. It was made by the Powerfulandmightyoz or something like that. It was really fun.

EDIT: Actually I think it was made in 1.1. Since I remember being on the Allied team, and I would throw a grenade and it wouldn't explode. In 1.1, if the server was running the Linux server version, Allied grenades wouldn't work at all.

If you want a good bridge map try
dod_schwetz
which should NEVER have been cut.

All the same, it shows bridges can be made without killing the R_SPEEDs...

nijmegen looks pretty awful, but if somebody could build upon its many faults and make a good map.. that wud be cool :)

:D

maybe you guys should check with the original author, all i know is he worked for invasionworks

also just because dod went retail doesnt mean you can make a remake of anything that has todo with dod, you still need permission for custom things like this map
