Well Ammo Depot has been out for a while...

(Storm) #1

I released Ammo Depot the 26th on pcgamemods.com

This is a map with some heavy FPS, but I kinda planned it that way.
I would like to get some feed-back on game-flow and hardness.
I know that Axis have a huge addvantage, especialy when playing 1-on-1.
It was designed for 6 or more players, it also was designed for easy run-over of the map by Allies.

Don’t bother telling me about bad FPS, I know.
I never found that dude that claimed he could make command maps look good, I’ll post the command map here soon.

A small map mapped after my sisters house is on the way too…

I remember this one - did you try any of the suggestions from before to fix the framerate, or just left it as is?
Just curious if anything worked (at least - improved it a bit), or not.

(Storm) #3

just adding huge brushes that messed with game-flow but increased fps.

I got a 5 frame jump when I added the big blocks on the sides of the middle bunker. Plus I caulked the hell out of everything, changed my landscape 2 or 3 times, and dumped some world detail.

did you like the map?

(G0-Gerbil) #4

Yep I did - it looks rather intense.
Haven’t played it with others though yet - but that’s true of virtually every map out at the moment cos my connection is too shite :banghead:

The framerates when coming from the beach looking at the base are pretty bad. i was dropping to 10-15 with a fx5900 ultra. If those could be fixed some…its a great map.

(G0-Gerbil) #6

Don’t suppose you thought if giving the source to anyone to see if they could improve the framerates?

Sorry to say, but despite your initial comment about not commenting on the framerate, that’s the main thing that will strike anyone who looks at it - which means chances are they won’t look any further or if an admin, won’t run the map :confused:

I recently got the latest version of ammodepot, but it seemed like it was a beta, it might have been, but it was called amodepot.pk3 and the one i had before was ammodepot_beta.pk3. what i couldn’t figure out was why it actually seemed to have more deficiencies than the first one. there is a whole stretch of water missing from the tunnel from beach halfway along the tunnel, u don’t seem to be able to plant landmines in a lot of places you could before, although i think the team doors that have been added we’re a good improvement and i’m still debating about the large wall blocking the side hill route, cause i got really good at getting up there from the allied side.
I have to say i do like it as a map, it’s beautiful, but the landmines and the water definitely need sorting out before it is finalized. I found the framerate was quite reasonable on my duron1.1Ghz, GF4MX/440, 256MBDDR

Were you on by yourself?

(TombardieR) #9

yeah i’ve played it with up to 22 ppl

(zbeta) #10

i dont like this map… it’s easy for axis to spawnkilling… imposible for allied to get throught the gate! another word … this map is no no :disgust: … allied have no chance to win! even ure avg. player!

(TombardieR) #11

The allies have a fair choice of routes to use, if the axis spend all their time spawnkilling then they won’t notice ppl going thru the side tunnel, a nd then thru depot gate, or thru the top hatch, or the secret route that doesn’t need any explosives and doesn’t alert the axis playerz as to when u r in their base. There’s plenty of scope, I think this map is well balanced but i do prefer the beta version. I think u just had a game where the axis had some good playerz and u kept on just running straight into their bullets, loads of tactics in this map, I love it and will defend it to the end

I’m glad to hear comments on this map.
I knew it would have this kinda game-flow, and stuck to it.
I’m happy I’v got a few die-hard fans, my next map will mostly indoor and based on real blueprints of german bunkers and installations on normandy beach. It should have much better framerate and overall game-flow. If my fans hold on for a month or two. They will be rewarded with a nice 2 map set to play.

I’ve managed it quite a few times before, and I don’t claim to have any great skill at the game. Plus you have the side tunnel you can go through.
