RS RSTE-Bataan
- Thread starter Drecks
- Start date
Previous versions showed defending was hard for Japanese. So I narrowed down some of entrance of the objectives. I think the Japanese could have won that 2th game last night but for odd reasons all of a sudden there where 5 more US players and we lost with 4 minutes to play. People said it was only at the end. Well at the end is where you loose a game
As I said in game that you see often 2 or 3 players more on the US team and people replied that it should not make a difference. In a map where Japanese already need a good organisation 2 players can count.
That's not to difficult, but thinking on stock or other custom maps the diversity in gameplay
often differs not that much and depends on the theme. Compare Betio,Peleliu and Kwajalein
We have a concrete HQ in Betio its at the end and in Peleliu we see this halfway they add some
diversity, but overall we have palmtree defenses and barracks on these maps.
I wanted a more open map and added the ricepaddies for different Asian twist.
Some sort of swamp with a defenseline. (obj D & E) I prefer to defend as squadleader in
the swamp and fight the first wave of Allies there by planting boobytraps and shoot them
with the smg. Loads of players spawned on me there an. And immidiatly run back to the defenses.
Anyway thanks for the feedback. As that what we need to make maps better.
We will see how this turn out. I won't update to fast and will at least wait a month and
probably more info.

I don't think there's any difficulty in Japanese defending, the map generally ends with enough time for either the US or the Japanese to win.
I notice as commander there's a lack of radios I found myself having to go quite far to find one as I couldn't get inside the cap due to enemy fire.
You have a lot of room for detail, draw calls and fps are solid you have a lot of room to play with. Rocks and bushes in open areas, trees, more grass, just suggestions.
Overall I enjoy the map, I like the rice paddies, the spawns aren't in awkward places and the objectives make sense.

There have been threads about all we did to promote custom maps.We need an IS II to drag people in.

On a second thought some defensive structures downhill inbetween objective B and the swamp/river could give the the Japaneses some time and Allies a harder time getting to Obj. D.
Next update is near.. The balance seems ok. Played the contest (november 5th) version twice last week during the testsessions and both teams did win. With a close call. It was a on a full server. Axis needs to coop well to do this which is a good thing afterall.
Yesterday I had two good games with the latest version on the 29th inf. Server. Both teams did win with the last game in overtime. Probably some small tweaks needed to tune this some more.
For the next update there will be some small defensive structures inbetween objective B and objective D. So downhill to the swamp. So some Japanese can put up a fight there instead of running back to the objective.
The Hangar obj will have some more defense to fight for. Hope this makes s more attractive endfight.
And a radio will added closer to the last Japanese spawn so the commander can call in arty from there.
Any feedback welcome so you don't have to rant somewhere in June 2014.....

If you want to place any defences between B+D then you will need to change the spawn protection/combat zone as it seems to reach just before D.
As for balance I dont think there is much need to change it,as an attacker they usually reach the last capzone which is good, and they shouldn't reach it too early which is whats happening now.

You might want to check that spawnprotection as its def not that close to D as you said.
The spawnprotection is where the red line is.
Nowhere it reach just before obejective D
I slected the orange colored spawnpotection volume here too
The view towards objective B where Allies come from
Looking towards D and E

one thing i noticed is that the origin of the map lighting seems up in the middle on top of the sky. While if you look at the skybox the sun seems to be quite low. So visually I get a mismatch between where i expect the light to come from and where it really comes from.
I could be wrong, but i believe Drecks is also done with RO2/RS. I think he submitted last version of this map to TWI.
Sadly I think that maybe the case but he has left an excellent body or work behind for the community to admire and enjoy
Kind a late reaction as I was busy.
Check the shadows of the trees in the screenshots above. They are quite long and could never be caused by sun up in the middle of the sky. I have seen worser mismatches....
With Honorable Mentions I provide you the "brewed" custom Rising Storm map Bataan. Fixt one area where one could walk on top of rockcliff caused by some over enthousiast collision.
The filesize is amazing small. It worked local. Online testing is up to the brave server admins who run custom maps.
If it works on a server drop a note.
