EAS-INF-LondonCity (beta release)

[lode]

as a reminder: the little time ive played on the map makes me feel that the defender spawns leading to the main big square area needs to be more varied. its because if you want to fight in the big square you have to run through one of two bottlenecks which can let the offense hold those exits with only two guys. so basically i would like to have a third or even fourth way to go back around further up the square maybe to a side street or alleyway (which you have one but it doesnt lead far away from the corner. you can make it fairer by making those ways slower, doors that close, twists and turns etc. and you could push by the spawns a bit. you don't want to make it too easy for them to flank attackers.

Thanks for reminding me.

I've added a tunnel which goes under the NE alleyway leading to the spawn area and comes out in the subterranean bit in front of the N building. It's still near the same area, but it gives another possibility for the defenders.

I've also added a tree in that same bit and some more cover to help out. I'll try and get a test version out real soon now...

Fat,

PM me when you have a new one for GD

 

[Fat Marrow]

I'm putting together the release version now. I'll shortly give Odie a new version of the map to test; in the meantime, is anyone able to turn this Word document into a PDF file for me? (assuming that's the best thing to do; at any rate my exported graphics look ugly in Word)

In case you're interested, this is the briefing document I propose to distribute with the map, containing a list of objectives, a revised street map, and plans of the objective building.

EDIT: So hopefully people can beta test the new version without getting lost

Ok, the release candidate (version 1.06) -- map file only -- is now available at http://www.doodoo.demon.co.uk/EAS-INF-LondonCity.zip

Let me know when you've grabbed that Odie (and whoever else) and I'll replace it in due course with the full release zip (minus the usual 3 packages from GreatInn-Lite -- I haven't got enough upload space ATM).

EDIT: thanks for the PDF, btw

 

[Fat Marrow]

Ok, I've just uploaded to here (same place) the release zip (minus the three packages mentioned above).

Could someone do me a favour and add those three files to this zip to make it ready for release? I'd like to test it on GD first, thoigh, before pushing the button (as it were).

The necessary files are MattCityDecos.u, MattUKCityDecos.utx and MattUkCity.utx.

I'll start a release thread when all that's ready and tested.

Ok, found some bugs when testing on GD. Revised version available soon for testing (not yet release)

 

[Fat Marrow]

New version (1.07) now uploaded. Hopefully this will be the final release version...
