Beta Map RO-PariserPlatzIII-beta1

[SchutzeSepp]

this is the latest build of pariserplatz!


Shot at 2007-08-03

download here: http://files.filefront.com//;8224343;;/
changelog:
-everything behind the gate has been rebuild from scratch, inspired by 1945 pictures and maps. not 100% accurate! small consessions have been done for gameplay and esthetic reasons!
-greatly optimised, added many antiportals, deleted unneccesary textures
-terrain contains 2x less triangles, allows better fps
-objectives have to be capped in certain order
-replaced "last defense pockets" objective by "unter die linden allee" objective
-improved german unit description, still need to improve allied one
-artillery wont be able to fall inside the gate, and near spawnpoints anymore
-germans will occasionally get a tiger, untill i can add pak40 guns to the map.
-more spawnpoints for 50 player servers
-volkssturm units
-ss units with camo
-more fausts laying around, but they are limited in respawn numbers
-germans have more reinforcements, but the last objective will be harder to hold!
-tanks are limited
-added more trees to the fields in front of the gate, as it was in real life.

this is still a beta version, i have no idea how balanced or unbalanced this version will be. to reflect the desperate turn out of this battle there are many "no exit" defense pockets behind the gate, where you have to fight untill dead because there is no way out.

as soon as the AHZ pak guns are available i intend to add them to my map, aswell as the pakwagen.

if you find any bugs or have suggestions, fell free to comment!

Downloaded and tried it on singleplayer today. The map is even more visually pleasing than the previous and the new layout of Unter den Linden is stunning espicially the adding of the trees is nice. As I have only tried on single player there was not much resistance or help from the bots but I have a suspicion that the last objective "Unter den Linden Allee" will be very hard for the Sovjets to capture - the new layout of the last lefthand corner provides for excellent firepositions for the germans!

Looking great so far!

 

[SchutzeSepp]

yes, i did not add bot support yet! forgot to mention.

because it is much easyer to do eventual changes to the map when there is no bot support

 

[EvilHobo]

I look forward to checking this one out, will be examining your architecture.

In before the mueck.

Good to have you back with PariserPlatz ! Uploaded and ready to test !

We added the map to our [PzDF]-RO-Server:

194.60.68.71:6656

We added it also to our RO-German Community-Download-Area. You can download the map here:

Looks Great
But the last capzones are to small
(pariserplatz and unterdielindenallee)
and u should remove the trees, it looks like a forrest and there wasnt a forrest 1945

 

[Trendkill]

This needs to be added to TWB 50 player rotation. NOW.

I mean the trees on the field between the g

 

[SchutzeSepp]

i have several pictures that show that the area in front of the gate was full of trees when the battle took place.

 

[Frontschwein]

Okay

But the capzoens are to small and spawnprotection is missing

The Tiergarten (a very large park) was in front of the Brandenburg Gate in 1945, and it still is today. It is a forested park, with many trees.

Check out what it looks like today on Google Earth.

So the forested area of the map is very accurate.

In before the mueck.

LMAO!

Looks great, I'll have to add it to our IO server and check it out.

 

[Frontschwein]

there is a spawn point outside of the map near the last german spawn,

 

[SchutzeSepp]

yes, thanks frontschwein.
i noticed it yesterday when i once spawned in outside the map

What I saw seemed like quite an improvement over the previous versions, with the layout of the Platz taking on a more historically proper appearance and the terrain not being a series of mounds. I like that a lot of arches in the buildings make it such that the infantry now have places to hide other than massive mounds of terrain. I would, however, use the Danzig alternative texture for those parts on the interiors of the arched areas, which is more of a brownish, dirty appearance. The current texture is a bit too "clean," if you will. Just one of the first things that struck me.

Didn't get to play it much, but will try to get the chance to do so.

 

[SchutzeSepp]

thanks for the info evilhobo, i thought i had only used the darker danzig texture.
im gonna replace all the clean textures with the danzig texture, that will make 1 texture less to load for the players!

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

I got to play a round yesterday, and it is looking good. Unfortunately I think the server was using that team swap mutator and the Germans were attacking the Russians.

 

[Stromberg]

I really like the new version! Quite an improvement!
But could you take another look at the objective's spelling?

As a native German speaker I'd suggest these:

Friedens allee -> Friedensallee
