Please try to add Freons random deco generator. You know, that one that adds litter , leaves or anything randomly on the floor moving like the wind is blowing.
This looks very cool and real and Mid will absolutely like it.

any news?

I'd also be ok with it beeing released without additional bushes.

 

[ant75]

The new bushes are ready, but i'm still in the state of rebuilding the map 20 times a day to get rid of lighting bugs (yep this map is full of em). If i can't get a working version with the few light changes i've made, i'll just release the original version with additional plants. Oh, and i've also made water non-transparent to see how it goes : it's not as pretty as it was before, but now you can crawl underwater without been seen (it adds a twist to gameplay IMO).
About the plants not being accurate for the realism of the place, i really don't care. Especially since i don't think the atmosphere of the map reflects truthfully Wales (at least from what i know from pictures ). At first i even thought the map was in corsica, or somewhere on the mediterranean sea (come on look at the dazzling sunset and transparent sea!).

hmmm
no. please not.

reasons:
- more confusing gameplay (enemies can pop-out from everywhere - it's impossible to guard the water then)
- unrealism of non-transparent water

 

[ant75]

Still, i think i gonna go through with it, to see how it goes. Don't worry, swimming is very slow, therefore you can't swim a long distance without starting to loose health : in the end it's not that great an advandtage. Plus i realized while playing that there were some chokepoints which you cannot go through without being seen, making sneaky tactics and capturing very hard. And about the realism of non-transparent water, i'm not sure about that, because it really depends on the geographic region : in some places you can't see past 30 cm of water when the sun is low.
Anyway, don't worry it's still a beta, it very much may change.

Maybe this should go in troubleshooting but in this map i see a lot of 'cracks'. They appear and disappear when i'm moving. As if the brushes don't connect sometimes. Maybe you can call it tearing but it's not the same tearing as vsync.
On most other maps i don't see this behaviour. But, being the bugmagnet that i am lately, maybe it's just me.

Pic 1 shows how it appears and disappears. Note the windows and side of bridge.
Pic 2 shows how it interferes with the distanceview. If a player was somewhere near the yellow 'crack' i don't think i'd see him very well.

 

[ant75]

Don't worry it happens to everyone. I've noticed this problem since the original version, i guess it's due to a very complex bsp.

I've been playing this map a lot recently (in CO-OP with Zombies ). I know this comes kinda late in the discussion, but the darkness of it just wastes this map. Even the flashlight attatchments don't help. As for the layout, I love this map. Glad you bought this one into INF ant75.

[Cleeus[JgKdo]]

the zombie mut makes the maps darker, try without it

 

[ant75]

OR you can also disable the darkening option within the ini, IIRC.

New version available. Water is still transparent, because it's basically the same version as the former one, with extra plants. I do have a version that includes some lighting changes, but it still has visual problems i can't get rid of, so i'm probably not gonna release it. Apparently Ued has decided to deny me the right to modify this map anymore .

I was kinda undecided about which version i should release, so i'll give a description of each and maybe you guys can help me choose :
-version 1 (released here) : exact same lighting - new plants added
-version 2 (not released) : light changes to get rid of most of dark walls and textures - water non-transparent (can be changed easily) - new plants added - has 2 lighting bugs : a incoherent shadow somewhere on the ground in village (not really visible if you don't pay attention), an area where *sometimes* the player is almost not lit at all (it's somewhere on the beach under the ruined manor). As i said the second bug does not happen all the time, and the area is rather small.

Anyway, here is for now the "light" new version :
http://super.unknown.free.fr/Maps/DM-INF-Cymru-Beta2.zip

IMPORTANT : this zip includes a new texture file, please replace the older one with this one !

 

[Vega-don]

promising map!

 

[{GD}Odie3]

I seem to be missing some default textures I guess. I am getting can not find 'ktex'

Can you help? I hope there are no others....

 

[{GD}Odie3]

NM, they are in your first D/L - Sorry.

 

[{GD}Odie3]

Okay, Map issue. I'll try to get X-Y laters (at work ATM). Anycase I fell threw the map a few steps after spawning. It was in a broked up building. The building had a least one complete window frame and the walls I believe where hard stone like. I was trying to jump into/over the window (which was to small to jump threw) and I went a little to my right to jump over the half wall, then I found my self falling......

 

[ant75]

Thx. I've located the bug and it will be fixed in the next version.

 

[{GD}Odie3]

Cool, glad I was able to help. Sorry that I did not have the X-Y.... I was not in the mode of looking for bugs, I was just making sure it ran on the DTAS Server. I hope it did not take u to long to find it and I look forward to your next beta!
