May I suggest at least offering a zip in addition to the .exe ? I’m sure the linux users would thank you.

True, I updated my first post with a link to a .zip file.

(BXpress) #4

well the DL speed is a bit too slow for me atm (1,4 kb/s ) :moo:

(Velorum) #5

Much nicer…gotta see how it plays though. I’m sure our server admin will put this on one of our ]eVe[ servers a bit later. Very nice map =)

Thank you.

woohoooo, map running now on 80.245.227.12:39508 :clap:

server location is frankfurt/germany, so pings might get high :bump:

There’s a error with the script, the flak cannon doesn’t do anything (Allies can win even if it’s repaired).

I’m working on a fix for this, should be done sometime today…(if all goes well)

Sorry.

(Thej) #14

Looking real smooth!

To bad the foliage is placed randomly now :< (i know its done this way in the shader file)
Dunno if this can be fixed by adding it to one texture of the terrain, but not the other texture

Okay, I got the objectives to work correctly (with some help of sock) so here is the required file (small) to make it work.

Required: Script Fix (2k)
–Extract the .pk3 to your etmain directory–

Summary of 2 main objectives:

Allies must destroy:

  1. The ammo spply
  2. the flak cannon

Axis must defend:

  1. the ammo supply (keep it from beeing destroyed)
  2. the flak cannon (keep it repaired)

Once the Ammo supply is destroyed the flak cannon becomes the last objective.
if the Ammo Supply is destroyed and the Flak Cannon is also destroyed the Allies win, this is why it’s important to have the flak cannon always built and to defend the ammo supply.

Hope this is clear enough, some people don’t get why they should repair the flak cannon, now the objectives works you’ll see why.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

I did a fast solo test and i’ve noticed :

  • Is it normal that after the main entrance is detroyed, Axis can recapture the flag ? I will try to test that in a public server

  • Sometimes, i drop a dynamite very near the cannon. There is no sound ( “dynamite planted near…”) and the cannon is not destroyed ! but if i disarm this dynamite i’ve the message “Dynamite disarmed” ?

  • I’m often killed when i repair the cannon

Here are some other issues with screenshot :

(evillair) #17

Thanks for the images, I will look into it for the next release.

I updated my first post with a fixed .zip (all files included).
I also had to put them by fileplanet, sorry.

Has anyone else tried it?

(Velorum) #18

i can confirm all the errors mentioned above.

Also you may want to consider submitting this map to www.rtcwfiles.com …because fileplanet sucks arse.

(evillair) #19

It already has been. :slight_smile:

what people who played on my server said about this map:

aber ne echte alternative zu den anderen maps.

Also die map ist echt gut …
Minen rulen halt schon hier … wohl dem der sie gelegt hat

Jep, die Map ist wirklich spitze =)
Nur für meinen Geschmack zuviel Vegetation…

Ja ich mein ja nur dass es hier recht schwierig ist die Gegner zu sehn.
Va Axis mit den dunklen Uniformen… Vor allem nervig bei diesem einen Busch vorm Ammo Depot… Hocken zwei hinter dir und du siehst nix…

sorry about the language, i´m too tired to translate the ****
