I've updated the map to B6, sorry for the delay. I was aware that version 5 has some very grave errors with spawns especially, but I have been busy with school and stuff. This latest update should make bots work on the whole map, although two sides still cling to either side of the map.
This should also fix most of the spawning issues, but there is still weird cases I'm looking into where if the germans leapfrog the russians and take an objective one back then they start spawning too far forward. Normally, this shouldn't crop up, it is only noticeable because of the aformentioned bots tendency to stick to either flank.
I've also tweaked the draw-distance up a little for some grasses, because I want to reach a point where you can actually use them as cover, and eliminate as much as possible times where distant people don't realize their exposed.
Whenever I update this next, my priority (assuming the spawns are squared away serverside) will be to address this bot issue, but it might be awhile. Of course, this sort of map can never really be much of a bot map simply because of bots' ability to see through foliage. Already it can be fun for a little bot Safari if you want to test your reflexes
I might implement some instadeath thing into them if I can figure out how to make your vision go dark underwater and it doesn't feel too stupid.
Yeah sure mosquitos would make a lot of sense for a swamp, I will see about putting them in. Since they are RS there might be some issues but I haven't tried yet.
If you want to post the tree files somewhere I would love to try them out and make a few forest maps.
Do the trees you've made have different lod's? That will help a lot in terms of draw culls. Also, if you've got any that have a wider canopy, those would be perfect for what I'm planning, as well as some big trees with some low branches stretching out like oaks.
I really like the trees you've made so far, and I hope you keep making more. The vast Russian forests are calling out for some love
I do Lot of trees and i am trying at the moment to make a Good Old Oak ! But Oaks are hard to make Optimized-Pretty cause the have LoT of Branches = Lots of Polys Take in Mind that Every tree Except Pines TWI uses is based on Oaks(young ones though)! BUT at least i am Trying ! For trees i Build LOD in UDK but i Collide them in Blender . I will add you on Steam and Inform you about my Trees Progress !
Don't worry about the oak though, any new trees you can make will be a huge boon to outdoors maps. Having more models even if they are the same species really helps to break up the monotony of just a single mesh, over and over.
