I’ve done a fair amount of research on colditz already and the place had a cool exit route already … a glider in the roof sections of the inner courtyard.

:moo:
Damn you Sock…
That’s was my next map that is currently in development… Tell you what, someone do the ET one and I’ll do a vanilla RtCW one

If anyone gets any new maps done, and i REALLY RALLY LOVED the ideas in this thread alone, can you all let me know some how…msn icq or email will do
thanks
why not have the 1/3 of the allies team spawn(unarmed except for a knife)in the prison camp…and have the rest of the team out side around the camp.Possible ides might be that the prisoners can either wait for their comrades to come and save them or,the allies force their way out and go to a weapons storage hut or room in the coamp close by and they can try and escape by doing that.
Try and get some ides out of that POW escape map for RTCW.Make a secret tunnel leading out of the prisoners containment area
I was just wondering…
I do like the idea of getting in and blowing up a prison and escaping with allied POW’s… but ahhh… I hope we’re talking about “imaginary POW’s” because I really doubt anybody will want to sit through a game just hanging out in a prison for 30 minutes.
Another thing is… if allies were to simply escape the prison and the Axis like won the round… that’s a crapload of allied POW’s (respawning over and over, supposedly a different ally every time thus reinforcements)
So maybe the main objective for say allies is simply blowing the backdoor to the prison or something.
And I don’t mean to be negative in anyway because I really really do like the idea and I want to play it as soon as it comes out! I’m just tryin to help 
Edited: Oh wait I just thought of something that I think you may actually have said, I just read it wrong!
Ok, main objective is for allies to blow up the prison doors (after they do whatever they can to get there of course) then after the prison doors are blown their new spawn point is inside the prison and they have to escape on the truck (escort the truck to the end) and then w00h00 allies win!
Again sorry if you already said that… I just read it wrong.
Hey Womprat,
Maybe this would give you some ideas, maybe not cause it looks like yours has much different layout
I can give you the source file if you are interested, PM me.
Have fun!

I’m making a mod for ET called Secret Operations together with some friends.
We too plan to make a PoW Escape map called Stalag 13d but we intend to have Allies players to be actually the prisonners of the camp.
Part 1
Obj 1 - They will have to finish up the tunnel under the compound right under the armoury. - a Covert Ops will have to steal a nazi uniform to get into the armoury via a team door. Allies will then be able to steal weapons.
Obj 2 - They will need to steal a Truck to escape.
Obj 3 - Contact Resistance via Radio in Radio Room
Obj 4 - They will have to open or blow one of the gates (main or back).
Part 2
Meet Resistance at Rendez-Vous Point in the forest to get additional ammo and weapons.
Obj 1 - Cconstruct a command post in a subterran resistance facility to allow respawn in the base.
Obj 2 - Defend the Resistance Base from Axis counter attack by constructing MG nests.
Obj 3 - Return to the camp to free the remaining prisoners and take over the Stalag. Free pows by blowing barracks doors (Covert Ops or Engineer)
Axis
Part 1
Prevent Allies from escaping by :
Part 2

Well, right now the map is on hold. I’m just going to make some cheesy test maps to try out the scripting. See what is and isn’t possible to do with it.
The map will need quite a bit of balancing 'cause nobody is going to want to play as a prisoner. and I don’t think I can take away weapons (ammo maybe). Besides I really think the castle is just asking for a good assault mission…
Any I’ll post if I happen to do anything big with it.
if anyone is openly playtesting their maps, let me know, i can play test with the best of them 
From what I saw players are always eager to play Allies rather than Axis, eventhough 5 maps out of 6 are more difficult for Allies. So i’m pretty sure most players would play Allies on a map where they don’t have weapons at the start and must get free.

maybe, but I don’t think I can take away weapons. The most that I might be able to do would take away ammo when they spawn. However, a feild ops could fix that quickly. (note: I haven’t tested removing ammo since quake3, and it was buggy then…)
Yeah that’s the main problem. Maybe we could start the map at the armoury, pretending the allies have already escape from their barracks using the tunnel.
The tunnel could be considered the Allies Command Post for this map, which could be blown by axis players and reconstructed by Allies engies.
i don’t know if this is possible but…
script it so that field ops spawn some where else?
and to get out of the cell they can either wait for the spawning fieldops to show up or they can do a tower and someone can climb out and unlock the door…or like an eng blows the entrance after using a people tower to get out??
well my current plan is break in to the castle (either through front door or a back entrance (or 2)), get past the first courtyard, into the second. From here allies will have to rescue the prisoners (and maybe a second obj).
Once the allies are in they spawn back in the second courtyard and have take a truck back through the first courtyard and out of the castle.
Axis will probably spawn in the first courtyard the whole time and be able to build front and side gates, and a neutral command post between courtyards.
This should solve most of the issues with removing weapons, etc. Now I’ve just got to figure out how to escort the prisoners to a vehicle.
I also want to fit a tunnel in there that engineers can “dig” with their pliers, but I’m not sure where or how it would help.
Anyway it’s probably gonna be a while before I get around to releasing anything so just keep poking :poke: me until I get something out.
why dig with pliars…
dynomite does wonders
the “tunnel” could be like 3 or 4 segments long…each with a barrier of rocks blocking it…blow one up with dynomite…move down tunnel…blow up next barrier…
the axis could do the oppisite…planet dyno and boom…fill in tunnel
i stil stand by my idea of the plane getaway after breakout, reapir that plane and escort it to the run way u could fit it in easy, even a fuel truck could be fitted in to start the allies in the armoury make it look like the place took a bomb hit that let the allies get to the armoury, maybee have them have to blow up the axis barraks to destroy their spawn.
you guys have a lot of imagination and I’d love to see the collective output.
The Great Escape theme. How cool?
May I add one suggestion…and it could be a bit of a quick-win for you mappers.
In the middle of one of these maps i’d love to see a no-mans land with NO towers managing them. I’d like to see shallow humps/bumps and lots of
trees/foliage. Perhaps a large wooded area. In the recent Spielberg series we saw how much of real WWII battles were up close and personal, meaning the enemy could be only feet away and you never really knew it. Dark forests and obscurred enemy sounds tactical to me. Perhaps lob a few destroyed tanks and wooden lodges in for effect. If this decreases air-strikes and increases mortar use - I’m up for it.
At the end of the day - it’s the environment that makes you ‘feel’ the spirit of the game and I think thats why we play the damn game
It has to be a good way to increase your map size. I know the fps will suffer - but then, whats new. It’s been like this for 10 years and the never-ending upgrading of hardware probably wont stop for some time.
Thanks for your time and don’t stop your creativeness. I don’t know how to ‘map’ so we (i) need you to keep up the fun.
Oh - and of course - I’ll host it if it needs a server. I there >> #[FuN]
From here allies will have to rescue the prisoners (and maybe a second obj).
How about, when the prisoners where captured, the axis took an important secret document from them. So you have to rescue the prisoners and retrieve the document.
