No Objectives in mind right now for the map...it has 2 progressive spawns for the Allies. The first is from the spawn to the middle of the city and the last is from the middle to the main factory objective. You don't need to take these spawns but they do help considering the finished city will be MASSIVE. The whole city is planned to take up about 70% of the total grid in VHE.

The trees at the side of the road are not finished and I havn't added their canopys yet.

Unfortunatly the map already uses over 4mb of texture memory so instead of making the buildings look the same to keep memory low i'm going to go all out and make it more like a unique city.

Is this what hammer states? If so...that's wrong...it's what comes up in compile plus model textures.

The compile says i'm using 4.19MB right now and I still have more building textures to use. So by the time i'm finished it will probably be around ~5mb

Wow, impressive. Was Regen a real British Operation? or is that map based on something?

I love the crashed trees, is it already like that? or can you do it with the bazooka? (Which would be SO sexy.)

Perhaps you should think of that as an objective

Axis Objective one: clear the path for the convoy, secure the rural road. (5-10 minutes)

Allied Objective one: Close off the road and cut axis supplies! (blow up the trees with the bazooka)

If the allies win the map ends, if the axis win then maybe it can go to a cut scene like the old para kar map, where the camera pans up from the city street to 5 supply trucks.

Axis Objective: Defend the trucks! (5-10 mins)

Allied Objective: Destroy the trucks! (2 zookas per truck)

-----------

Maybe I got the map backwards, whoever starts in the city as their spawn should have to destroy the trucks, ect.

Just an Idea! :D

Looks nice. And I remeber asking a DoD mapper about text memory, he said they aim for under 5 meg. including model textures...

Looks good- except for the trees, but as you say, they're not finished.. Personally Trees are a no-no in Half Life, but, whatever.

This map has kind of a wonderfully gloomy look to it... :cool:

if this isn't a real operation I tihnk you should consider changing it to the allies. The americans have more classes and it would make things more interesting IMO

What is it with you americans and thinking that the allies are just americans. Do you know what allies means? It means more than 1, in the case of WW2 it means the Americans, British, Australians, etc. NOT JUST YOU YANKS. Please get it right, I don't think I have seen 1 american use the word allies as it's meaning intends.

Ahh yes, more hate for the US of A. Hey pal, in case you missed it, DoD has the Americans listed as "Allies" people are using the game's lingo to discuss the map.

Oh Gee. Your mistake.

And by the way, I do happen to differentiate between nations. Perhaps its all these other people, our friends from Canada, England and the like, that are so ethnocentric, and not us. Perhaps it is you who feel the need to always country bash, and not us.

I see more "USA SUCKS" posts in one day than any "Britian/Canada sucks" posts....ever. Why don't YOU wise up? I'm tired of being nice to people who aren't nice to my nation. Thank you.
