Level Design RO-Dubovicy redone?

[DeV]

Would anyone be interested in seeing this map being reworked for RO:O? And I'm not talking about a simple port here but a complete makeover. If you don't know the map or just need a refresh, check the screens below

And since I'm limited to 5 images per post..

 

[worluk]

i vote with a yes

if you need testing, comments, etc...

 

[dasKaRmA]

yes Sir! I want it redone...I liked the graphics and the gameplay very much!

 

[RedStorm]

Definitely, yeah!

 

[SgtH3nry3]

YEAH!

I vote yes , and I'd love to test it for Ostfront...
Bring it on!

It could need higher resolution groundtextures though, multitexturing and detailtextures would be amazing in Ostfront if that is possible...

 

[Krokar]

For sure dev

 

[Kyril =VIII=]

Definately.

 

[DeV]

Well seems some people would like it back. Then now comes the tricky part, lets see if you can answer this
What would you like to see improved and what not
I was thinking about making it more of an uphill terrain with a forest but Im not sure how that will run on RO:O.

 

[Jaesperson]

something to disable the spawnkilling of the germans by russians coming from the farm, maybe? i like the design of the "village" its pretty cool to go there and try to hold off the incoming russians, but you could make it look more like a village, maybe. not like some houses in a forest.

oh yeah and add an easteregg with women

oh and i always liked the graveyard, its a shame no one really notices it, becaus its behind the russian spawn where noone really looks

The best thing would be all maps, whereas the popular maps should be built/ported first.

I'd love to see it simply on a larger scale, more complex bunkers, larger wheatfield, larger village, it would be awesome

Think this isnt really true..I think every self respecting mapper wouldnt wanna port his map over like 1,2,3. Also that would really disrespect the work the devs have been doing to get this new version looking sexier then ever. If you really would port any map over like say for example koitos (which is going to happen since people will moan about missing koitos so much that some lamer is going to port it over the way it is now) it would probably not fit in at all.

I do like the idea Dingbat had about the community mappers getting together (or a few of em) to redo the old custom maps, with approval of the mapper ofcourse. It would make the maps better, both gameplaywise and graphicswise, I'm sure of that.

 

[dasKaRmA]

well, you wont be able to "just" port the maps over
You need to retexture them, place new staticmeshes, Sounds, and so on...
...but yeah, all maps that will be redone, should get gameplay and graphical improvements and bugfixes.

oh.. and I would lie to see more Spawnprotection for the germans and more cover for the germans at the approach to bunker Objectives (from their second spawn)

 

[DeV]

I'm not totally sure yet but I was wondering if I would go sorta like this way with the map:

These pictures take place nowhere near Dubovicy, hell the current one probably doesnt even look like what it is in my map Maybe I should just drop the name but keep the main infrastructure *ponders*....Does anyone of you happen to know of an area that is kinda similar to this one where fighting may have taken place? (Probably one heck of a stupid question but worth the try).

Another question I was wondering about, maybe for any Dev willing to answer, will RO:O handle excessive trees better then RO Mod? So is it finally possible to make something of a decent forest?

 

[Panzer Meyer]

I say yes as well, port it over. Looks great, though I never had a chance to play, from the looks of it, and what people are saying it is a great map worth porting over. Having never played, I can't really give you much advice on what to change.

 

[DeV]

Its not on a lot of servers and the servers that are running it are running the very first beta, while its currently at beta 4.

That's what I meant...

Why not the popular maps first? Or why not "hiring" (or whatever you'd like to call it) all Map Orchestra mappers too???
And anyother custom-custom-custom mapper which did a great job too?

So you have at least more maps than "just" the officials...

 

[DeV]

Most Map orchestra mappers are the Custom mappers I was talking about, theres no difference..And then theres the problem of what actually IS a popular map? The only one I can come up with is Koitos.

I'll look for beta 4 and replace PB1 with it on our server. Is PB4 on Map Orchestra Redirect?

*Edit* Can't find Beta4 anywhere, would you have a link to download?
