I'm all over it like white on rice. It'll be active on Crucible by early afternoon.

Thank you for your hard work.

Nicely done,any other dark versions in the future?

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Thanks, hope to try it out soon

 

[Raven1986]

Many thanks for your kind words! 40-1 #1 is also hosting the map now.

 

[Raven1986]

After playing the map for a few rounds on 40-1, I received mixed feedback.

Some praised the map for its authentic setting with darkness in the night, whilst others exactly went 180

 

[nymets1104]

Sadly, I expected this. I personally love the darkness and the very eerie mood it sets. It reminds me of the remake of Odessa by BOH-Rekrut which was also very dark, but like this map, many did not like it and a lighter version was released. Still a great map and a blast to play, I will also enjoy this map either way as well.

 

[G_Sajer]

Yeah, I knew people would howl about the darkness. Everybody thinks war is fought on a sound-stage with floodlights. But if there truly is a serious balance issue, then you are right to address that.

 

[Raven1986]

I won't vanquish the darkness, the light was set at 0.5 and I now get a version out with 1.0, it should increase ranged vision but it should still be dark.
I think I can't make it right for everyone and I believe too that fighting took place 24/7 no matter what the conditions were.

 

[Raven1986]

I went for a lighter version now with moon light, the buildings inside are still quite dark and the firebarrels are the only light source inside.
This is a accommodation to the wish to brighten the map up and for those who enjoy the darkness, the buildings waiting for you and your tent.
The only thing I was unable to add in was a moon sickle like in RedOctober

I PM Mord about the new version for 40-1 also.

Thank you once again. Up and running on *Army of Northern Virginia (ANV) | CLOWNS | (Classic, Customs).

 

[G_Sajer]

This will be great. I'll update it shortly.

Great map, just two questions. I blew the doors in A leading straight to C up and got -5 points. Axis were attacking, Russian on defense. Is this working as intended, or a small bug.

Further the first building on the left, where the attackers can go through to B, the backdoor leading to the most left entrance of B, the character needs to jump because the blown door seems to block the path otherwise. Here the same question, intended or not?

 

[CptFoley101]

This is because its on campaign mode.On normal territory the germans are defending.

I dont know about n2.

 

[Raven1986]

N24 might be a blocking volume that was placed there accidentally. I also noticed that the Germans do not get an APC when they attack. I gotta change that ad the Soviets have a Brencarrier at their spawn when they attack.
I also need to put several more cover nodes into the map.

 

[LugNut]

I gotta change that ad the Soviets have a Brencarrier at their spawn when they attack.

Really? Is that new? I've never noticed it.

 

[Raven1986]

since B1, there is a Brencarrier in the garage right next to the first spawn.
It's meant as a secure transport to North Railyard as you can blow all the doors in the warehouses passage.

 

[Raven1986]

After the failure of B4 and its missing textures, please do accept my apologies, I present B5 which is basically the same, except hopefully with textures.
