See 2nd post for download links and things I have already spotted.












Author : LordGleedo ( aka Zero @ www.theoldgitsarmy.co.uk )

Finally got a version out that seems ok enough for some public testing

The map has been renamed from Volkhovsky to DieBresche as I could not achieve the forest style map I wanted based around a real life battle in the war, so the map has kind of come out a bit random.

Reinforcements : 300 Axis, 325 Allies
Type : Infantry Only

1. South Woods
2. Church Yard

Known Issues

• The lighting needs work in the basement of the compound.
• The objective boundary overlays appear too small on the overhead map displayed on the spawn menu screen

Outdated Map Information

Spoiler!

Information:
There is a known bug that happens on all Stock and Custom maps. Basically if you venture into a spawn protection zone just as your team caps the objective, the spawn protection red screen will remain on your HUD until you die. This has been reported.

Change Log

-- South Woods

• Axis spawn protection should now stretch wide enough that Allies can no longer get in behind them
• Moved allied radio into the intial spawn area and made it for Allies use only
• The allies spawn protection zone that gets enabled after the allies cap the woods is less severe, which should give a bit more time for Axis to retreat

-- West Village

• No longer an objective but is still a playable area which can be used for flanking the new Village

-- Village

• Replacement objective for removed West Village. Situated N-NE of the South Woods beyond the Gullies and is closer to the Church objective by about 120m than the old West Village objective.
• Added two new trenches for Allies just south of the gullies to help their advance on this objective. Obviously new trenches in the Village for Axis to defend from.

-- Church

• Previously when the church and west village were capped together by the Allies, a massive spawn protection volume would fall from the church to the foot hills to the north which gave the Axis no chance of making it out of this spawn protected area, which would then kill them. This spawn protection volume has been pulled right back to the gullies north of the church. Because of this, the allies church spawn area is now back at the church, so they now have the option to either fight their way north to the lumber yard or flank left around the monument hill and down into the valley.
  
  However, Axis players still north of the church can be spawn protection killed "if" the Allies successfully cap the Lumber Yard, so be warned!

-- Lumber Yard

• The allies spawn protection zone is less severe, again to help axis fallback when the Church/Village have been capped by the Allies.
• The axis have a new temporary spawn that is available for 30 seconds after the Church and Village have been lost. This is to try and help them fortify the forward trenches north of the Lumber Yard in the valley. After 30 seconds, the two usual spawns are back in play and this temporary spawn gets disabled.

-- Compound

• A new rear access tunnel has been situated behind one of the storage warehouses. Stairs lead down to an underground hallway that leads directly into the compound basement/cap zone area.
• Fixed bot spawning issue in axis final spawn

-- Misc

• Starting adding priority to cover nodes for attacking/defensive positions in Woods, Lumber, and Compound. Others to follow.
  
• Added artifical artillery and other ambient sounds.
  
• Fixed a ton of player MG placement problems near sandbags, fences, bridges, boxes, log piles, barrels and pretty much any other place where you should be able to deploy an MG. Of course there is no way I can spot all problem places, so I need screenshots of where you still can't deploy where you think you should be able to
  
• Fixed trees from stopping bullets etc
  
• Updated the overhead map

-- Misc

• Stopped nades bouncing back off trees
• Added blocking paths to stop bots trying to go places they shouldn't
• Loadouts "should" now not give you enemy weapons
• Updated overhead map and cap zone textures

This map is now available via my redirect in the downloader tool.


Known Issues
Recon plane is now way too low - it gets stuck in a tree lol

[LordGleedo]

Reservered for me

[Ducky]

Nice job my Lord. Screenshots are looking great!

[Major_Day]

Map looks good,plays great,nice big map should be great for 64 players, the church obj. is a small hiccup,as Gleedo says if the Axis concentrate on defending/recapping that, the Allies will go nowhere, but the same could be said of any re-cappable obj.. I would make it not re-cappable,but make obj. D+E both cappable as soon as C is capped by the Allies,that would then spread the gameplay across the map,meaning the Axis would need to defend two cap zones,and the Allies would have two obj. to attack at the same time, leading to more teamwork on both sides.

[Vitzouille]

tested as Soviet Commander on Toga server .

incredibly everything works properly .

Nice ,nice work for a béta 1 .

some open fields will be hard to cross if germans get in place in time .

THX for this pleasure .

[Sparks]

Great job and plays well.
Looking forward to the update and will add it to our server asap.
Ran around a bit to capture the obj.
Like the layout and outlying buildings you made by the lumberyard.

That's exactly what I am doing right now. Thanks for jumping in this morning Major

I may stick the spartanovka church in while I am waiting on the church from Oliver so at least you can get inside for more cover.

Thanks, I agree that some of the more open areas need a bit more work cover wise, but not too much.

The objective problem is an easy fix, but I need to do a ton of work on spawn protection and map boundaries to stop peeps just going where they want lol.

I will try to get another version ready asap - sorry for the delay

[Major_Day]

That's what beta's are all about.

[-=THOR=-]

Nice screenies! Keep on the good job!

[Le0]

Hey mate, glad you released your map
Will give it a go soon

[Mike_Nomad]

I'd love to host this map too.....

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Really looking forward to this!

I pulled the map from release due to a massive cock up with objectives which would have made the map insanely imbalanced.

I will be trying to put a "better" version up this weekend.

That sounds delightful!!

[-=}WoLvErInE{=-]

I want now!!! :d

[LordGleedo]

Trying to get this map ready for tomorow but I have a few places where the fps drops to around 40........if I wasn't running a 3gb gpu I wouldn't be worried, but if my gpu is only getting 40fps in those places, less cards may explode!



Not sure how to optimize those areas....

Other than that, it's pretty much ready.

[CrossTrain]

I can't wait to give this one a go-round Gleedo!

[LordGleedo]

Map is now live on both my servers. Will update op with download links once my upload of them has finished.

I know there are some fps drops in the south woods, approach to East village from the south and overlooking the value toward objectives 5 and 6.

I also apologise for using the church from spartanokva, but it was the better option until I get a new one from a helpful forum member here.

[Mr Vain]

Thx! looking forward to set it on the server.
Regards.
