Happy to see it but a remade would be better than 'the same old map', a remade with new and improved things. thank you quand meme.

Beta Map Ogledow
- Thread starter Six_Ten
- Start date
Ogie Oglethorpe?
Ogie Oglethorpe?
My intent is to bring Ogledow into RO2, not invent a new map, so I will not be changing stuff like the town, farm or ruins layout or the terrain mesh.
Stuff I have thought about in no particular order, and before I've finished my first cup of coffee this morning:
Once I figure out the squad system, setting minimums so that the first infantry squad must be filled before the second becomes available, so we have mostly rifles before we get a second MG or marksman.
Converting the existing buildings (which are made in BSP) to static meshes and making parts of them destroyable. (Yes, I know the roof and wood textures aren't right)
Wooden fences will be destroyable.
Mantling will be added.
Foliage will be affected by wind and player movement, so you should be able to spot infantry moving through the hedgerows.
I forgot to put the ladders in the barns. They'll be back.
Sound triggers for more creaking boards and dust falling when walking in barn lofts.
Sound triggers to make birds stop singing and crickets go silent when you go near them, then to resume when you leave.
If I can do it without hitting fps performance, adding a few small copses of trees for cover and concealment.
Of course, feedback is welcome.
The playable area of the map measures 31600 uu x 27240 uu. At 50 uu/m that is about 632 m x 545 m.
(In comparison, Spartanovka measures 21200 uu x 13600 uu, or about 424 m x 272 m.)
Maybe I need to put the assets into the map folder before cooking. Anyone know?
As far as I know DH used a different system for mantling. In RO2 it is set up through the Actor -- Covernode. I tested a couple of them and am figuring out how to use them. I want to get the simple stuff done right and working, then add the fancy things when we know the basics are solid.
No, but as you can see, not impossible. I'll make a thread describing the basic process and tools needed. In a nutshell, RO2 uses differnt code, so you have to strip that out of the map, then extract all the assets to RO2's format, then scale all the meshes and terrain by .8285, rewrite all the shaders, recreate and reassign all the materials to the statics, etc.
I hear you, brother. The original battle was fought between Tiger and IS2. Also we need someone to recode the Panzerfaust for RO2.
I'd like to know this too. Can someone tell us please how to add playable bots?
That means you have two copies of the file being seen by the engine, and it is saying it will choose the one in the Custom folder. Move the one you don't want used out of the RO file structure.
What grid coordinates? There are about 5 different ambient crickets around the map.

Play the map with bots. The result is HILARIOUS.

The map works but the sound of the cricket is too high

Am I right that adding this map to our server will result in our server becoming unranked?
I tried the map on my rig and I like it. Our clan want to add it to our server, but what will happen to the servers ranking?

The ranking system will really bug us if we need to pay a penalty for adding maps
I've just decided to ignore ranking and play RO the way I have since the start: for fun. I know it is important to some so I won't knock them for it, I personally won't avoid an unranked server if it is running fun maps with good players.

I agree with you, but an unranked server mostly ends up empty.
Oops... our server is currently empty with being ranked too. Maybe we will get more players if we host your new map

I got a (partly) green light to start hosting the new map on our server. I'm uploading it to the server right now . Server details can be found in my banner.

There is few bugs, like growing grass front of my eyes when I moving forward, or floating building, but map is great right now!
Thank you so much!
When we can play it online?

Ducky, any details on how to get this map working on a server?

Not much so far. As far as I know should both the *.roe and the *.upk file be placed in the cookedpcserver folder. At least that is what I made out from Cat_in_da_Hat posts in this thread.
I can give more details as soon as it's uploaded and the server is running.

Just had a run around in single player and fps is great ( 75 - 115 everywhere and around 60 through a sniper scope ).
I'm really looking forward to trying this in multiplayer, thanks OP!

One thing i noticed is that when changing team from Axis to Allied in the middle of the round, i can drive the Allied tank, but i can't swap to any other position.
