Kha Ran Than - new map

(shagileo) #1

New Map:

…-Kha Ran Than-

About:

A full hand made remake of the original Call of Duty map: Carentan.
We remade the map to pay tribute to the great map created by the original authors. We never decompiled ANY part from the original map. We don’t want any credit for the idea, because the original map is not ours, we just wanted to share it with the W:ET community.

Taken from the ReadMe file

A Brief History:

This Kha Ran Than map was originally conceived as a complete and perfect reconstruction of Carentan, in order to pay tribute to this celebrated Call of Duty multiplayer map. In the mapping process, and with the consent of VS, the idea got adapted in honor of the alliance between SLUT and VS.

The map was to undergo a complete transformation, ultimately attempting to give the map a Vietnamese war atmosphere. Hence, the current map’s name is a mere “vietnamization” of Carentan: “Kha Ran Than”. Evidently, the map features the VS Vietnam mod textures and sounds. Also, beside the original Carentan setting, the map was enlarged with a beach landing and a town plaza to better suit the 40 slot VS server.

In an initial phase, Kha Ran Than will be provided exclusively to the VS clan to use on their VETERAN SOLDIERS-VIETNAM server. Later on, it could be made public for others when adapted to the original CoD Carentan setting.

Creation:

Kha Ran Than was created by [SLUT]manwhore and [SLUT]Shagileo.
More info about them can be found on their clan’s website: www.slutclan.tk or on the [SLUT] Forum: www.slutforum.tk

The entire concept took about a half year of weekend work to become reality, from somewhere in September 2008 . It must be emphasized the final result was achieved without ever decompiling anything from the original CoD map or any other map from any other game.

We also wish to thank Pegazus and Sage from S&M mapping for their great support and help in this map!

The map is not yet finished, but is almost done. This thread will keep you updated.
Since the VS clan updated their mod to the all new Vietnam 0.0.1 mod, we need to re-texture the map.

You can already enjoy the new mod on their new 2.60b server:

There’s also a webpage dedicated to the map with screenshots. The screenshots are a bit outdated, because they still have the “old” textures on them, but it will give you a view of the map.

nice, don’t forget the sandbags and the MG’s though, some of the best gameplay in COD 1 for noobs to go directly for the mg house or the mg near the catrenary arches so you can distance snipe em with a tommy. :slight_smile:

i watched the screens of the mod, really interesting and nice (i loved the m-14 rifle; and the ,axis’’ tank wasnt bad either, though for me the turret was too shermanish and not t-54-ish enough :); dont know about the map itself though, not much is visible about it atm ^^

when i saw the thread name, i was hoping that first version is finally availabe… :stuck_out_tongue:

(ACROBAT) #5

That middle screenshot is awesome. How did you make that levelshot?

(IndyJones) #6

photoshopped/gimped.

(shagileo) #7

Well I can tell you, the mod is really worth downloading
There are a lot of cool features in it , so you’ll never get bored

ok so anyhow:

I’ll put some more screenshots on it later on. I’m not revealing all too much of course, or all the map is visible and we don’t want that - :slight_smile:

as I said, re-texturing takes some time, but an FP shouldn’t be all to far from now

@ Acobat:
Yap Indy said it.
Well didn’t gimped too much on it, just the sepia/old news paper effect of course. The rest is just: click screenshot. The way you see it in the screenshots is the way it will look like (well, with the new textures then) .

@ Pande:

hehe nono, we’ve taken care of the MG house and the sandbags at the arches :cool:

  • stay tuned -

Finaly images :slight_smile: Realy good looking, but light compile would have spiced it up a bit more :wink:

(shagileo) #11

Oooh sir, you don’t want to see the light compile yet. That’s desert :stroggtapir:

It’s out of the love for this map we decided to put so much effort into rebuilding it :slight_smile: We, too, had and still have so much fun playing it in CoD.
