I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. The terrain does not want to cooperate and the brushes seem to be stuck.

Hush kittens, you'll get your milk soon.

But seriously, I am absolutely awful with the map editor, but the good news is I got everything more or less working, I should have some images soon.

Did you get that bug where a tile can't be re-textured? That's a really annoying one.

I fixed it. Turn out there was a duplicate terrain underneath, and when I deleted it the grass went away too!


Welcome to Africa gents!

Map, models, and textures are all placeholders, but I should have a download up in a day or two.

Is that DP-28 a placeholder for the Bren with a drum mag or something?

I haven't finished the weapons yet, they're just regular Russian weapons. I'm planning to give them these:

Enfield (Mosin)
Enfield w/ Scope (Mosin)
M1 Garand
Bren (Type 99)
Webley (Nagant)
Colt
Thompson SMG
Boys AT Rifle (PTRS)

Are you gonna modify the stats of the weapons so they have the same characteristics of what they are pretending to be? Such as giving the Enfield 10 rounds and the Webly 6 with the damage of the colt.

And why the Garand and colt anyway lol?

I'm still working on the weapons, but in the meantime I implemented the neat team select icons made by Dumpfires!

EDIT: I just remembered that we're not allowed to have swastikas on this forum, so I censored it on the image.
It'll still be in the files though.

I know that this symbology are forbidden in some countries. But not were the nazis who created the swastika, so that not have sense to do it.
That's my opinion

It's the symbolism that goes with the emblem. Doesn't matter who made it. What matters it what it was used for. So you can't have medieval crusaders with Swastikas in a game which is what some wore.

On a forum it's a spark for all kinds of controversy and you can find some people supporting it and everything. So it's better to not have it posted at all. Even when it's not posted it still causes off topic discussion.

I've see the "chasing legs" used as an alternative. Same as the swatz minus the middle "X". Four rectangles, mostly harmless.
Or just use Volkswagon, Mercedes or a BMW logo :p
