.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

You've noticed that I haven't released any of my maps, well, here it is. Battle of the Trench beta 1. Will post some screens soon. Check it out! Pls!!!!!!!! Anybody want to run it on a server may do so. Thx anyway!!!!!!!!!

Download now!!!!!!.

Don't complain, I've released my map already.

Next project......SP maps, I know, very general, but haven't decided on the topic yet.....maybe a cross between the Bridge and the Hunt.

You did a good job on this one. I love the explosions and the mgs. You might have to fix the floating models though Some of the vehicles were floating. Other than that great job!

Is there going to be a final?

I know about the flying vehicles, will fix them. And the mg42. Did the ladder work? The one near the mg post?

BTW, there'll be a final.

You asked me for feedback in the [url=irc://irc.quakenet.eu.org/.map%20]#.net IRC channel[/url] the other day. I'll post it here too for all to see ( And I added some more ).

First: I like it. It's laid out in a nice condenced way to make instant mayhem, you can snipe over a long distance and you can avoid snipers in the trences... I believe it has a good balance.

Now, here is the feedback:

1. The trench walls have a concrete look, but the texture is a wooden one... and the texture loops badly. Use a concrete texture like normandy/bunker_concX ( X = 1 to 4 ) or get a more "wooden" wooden texture like general_structure/jh_oldwood1.

2. The vehicles float ( as already mentioned above ).

3. Set:

$world farplane_color "0.3 0.3 0.3"
level.fogplane = 3500
$world farplane level.fogplane

...in the .scr file to get the gloomy fog effect of a gray, rainy day.

4. Drag out the horizon a bit to avoid the "end of the world" edge beeing seen ( combine with 3 above ) or make a ridge around the edge high enough that opayers cannot see beyond it ). I know this is just eye-candy, but it affects players.

5. Don't use clips within the barb-wire ( or other player stopping brushes ), I find it really frustrating when a place looks like you can get to it, but you can't because of an invisible barrier. remove it or combine it with an ostacle the payer can see.

6. A tiny tunnel connecting the trenches? A bit illogical maby, but so is 32 WW2 soldiers teleporting into a small space surrounded by barb-wires

If I did not metion something above, then I like it.
Good work!

PS: All ladders work, except the one to the east of the MG:s.

Roger that. Will try to include these in the beta 2. One thing, the underground hiding thingy will be tough, as i made terrain and will have to redo the terrain. Pls give me more details on the noclip thingy.

No clip thingy? You loony man!

Well, If you go as far North as U can in the trenches: The mud goes up a bit... you can ( just barely ) get up on the edge of the north trench wall as the clip ( or what ever it is ) does not cover the north trench wall. But here is no way in the Devil's home ( Yes, that would be Hell, thank you ) that you can get up on the....*thinking spatially*... East wall even if it looks possible enough to my eyes...

Can you point me to some info on how you scripted the explosions?

Doesnt work. It says problem and stops extracting.

Gen Cobra, hereis a tutorial on random explosions by Nemesis.

btw, it only took me hmmm.....1-3 min to compile.

Tell me what to add? Maybe a sea with higgins.

WTF are you talking about? Can u explain?

Maybe a tiny tunnel would be great, but tell me how to do it? I've made the terrain already.

make ur tunnel, then control-left click the patch of LOD that you want to delete

-go to LOD terrain in the menu
-click detach terrain
-click backspace to delete just that patch

-then fill in the area with some sandbags or something to cover the hole

When i extract the map it stops and says PROBLEM. Then it stops extracting all together. Any idea maybe? maybe not put it in a zip file?

What should I include in beta 2? Suggestions are welcomed.
