New Map - Death In The Woods

Voltaire · Post by **Voltaire** » Fri Oct 03, 2003 2:19 am

Ok everybody, I just made a new map I call "Death In The Woods", I just needed to fix a couple of bugs in the custom screen and sound department. I am using Nemesis's tuts for that and still having a problem. Then it will be ready for release. It takes place on a early foggy morning, its a fair size map, runs good on my slow computer. The screenshots can be viewed at:

Would love to hear from you all about it.

There waren't that much trees, is that to lower the fps?

(offtopic) In MoHoM there are woods, and those look really cool (offtopic)

Hunter, yes, there are more trees, I did not want to create a forrest, just a wooded area. And I did keep the number of trees to a limit for fps reasons

But there are quite a few out there. there are also a few rocks also. Another reason I kept the trees to a limit was for the tanks, tanks usually didn't operate in a massive forrest.

Also I wanted to create a spooky type atmosphere with the fog, and hopefully the music will help with the effect.

It is looking good. Might I suggest some hills in the terrain and perhaps other natural details?
We will need some cover besides fog while playing the map

It is multiplayer, I presume?

Kill Ya Later (if I can find you in the fog

)

Thanks Crunch

for the good comments, I do have some small hills in the map and barb wire fences. I put those in after the screenies were made and realized that there was some need for obstacles to hide behind.

There is also 2 lines of foxholes and sand bag emplacements, one for each side. Also two buildings more in the center of the map to provide cover as well a couple of rocks. There is also two mg towers on each side behind the foxhole lines, as well as some barracks behind that.

I just picked out the best pics from the screen shots. Yes it is a spearhead MP.

Just had this idea, why not add the option of calling in air/artillery support. I city maps that's not that logic, but in the woods you might try it?

That sounds like a good idea, but I am not very good with scripting, still trying to figure it out

. That's why the map is not quite ready for release yet. I might be able to put it in later if I can get some one to help with that. But that's a good idea!
