Beta Map [MAP] Caen OutSkirts

[Znidy]

I actually must leave some feedback on this map. First:

- You can fall through the floor in some buildings near E.
- The bushes on the hill overlooking the field and the buildings going to E (from the German POV) somehow are floating in mid-air
- I think the movement zones for the Americans need to be re-thought, since I got shot three or four times on the left flank when going to B (and A was captured at that point). There should be more smaller cover or un-even ground in the fields with haystacks, it simply looks too flat now (and you can get shot easily from the hill I mentioned above).
- I think the Americans need more cover on the final objective (I), because as a sniper, I could see them spawn and pick them off quite easily when spawn protection ran out.

I must apologise for not sticking around more during last-night's playtest, I've been having some health issues for the past month and it's very hard to concentrate for me. I hope that my health goes back to normal soon

That plus GTA Online and work have distracted me from playing RO2/RS more, as well as distracted me from trying to learn mapping in UnrealEd.

Yesterday it was unplayable for attackers, mostly because of:
- spawn camping - flat terrain
- grass, that made snipers and MGs semi-useless

There be bushes.

What do you mean by grass?

 

[Lemonater47]

I assume he means the grass disappearing at 3 feet. So you can't hide in it as MG or sniper.

Which is why I mentioned the bushes.

Ahh ok, i made a bunch of changes. Will try to get it to shepard for updating before this weekends events

A few of the changes:



1st German Spawn:
Barn from Ogledow, all credit to Six_Ten

Spoiler!

Approach to E/F caps more cover, added trees to break up defender's views from second floor of buildings. Doubled number of Haystacks nearly everywhere.

Spoiler!

Added Cover, trees, and Haystacks to the approach to Final Cap.

Spoiler!

At this point, I am unable to modify the light colored dirt or add a new terrain layer as the map is maxed out on terrain textures. Will try to address this along with the grass popping in the next update of the mod.

I will try to get this on SWS today along with here and have the full changelog. Two events scheduled this weekend on both Euro and NA servers.
Thanks for all the feedback and input guys!

Good job, man! Will it be ready for the Euro test on Thursday?

Also, did you fix the bug with the falling floors in the buildings on E? 'Cause that's the major one

[Lemonater47]

The real question is will it be updated on the 29th ID server lol. In time for its event.

I also think locking C is unnecessary.

Thanks You.
