Ödland :P
uhm,
that could be the right name for a map finished...
But this is still a [WiP]
*Mööööp*
just keep an eye on the landscape and even the "CAEN" backround fits a bit to the desired map_name...
-
Caendy Land

Caendy Land
a *Möööööp* to you:
This is not the Honey River in the Hershey`s Valley :)
-
Grand Ca(e)nyon.
-
Carpathian Mountains

4 times a *Mööööp* @ all !
today mapping went on for a few hours but there is no screenie I´d like to present to you-
And Id be lucky if I´ll get it finished before COH2 comes out so there is enough time to guess the right map_name for this project...
so long
SSonne

(http://imageshack.us/a/img844/1103/prototype3r.jpg)
and some more infos:
-part of real historical battle in the East
-map could be converted to a "winter-map", also
-the town in the far backround was original named by this tiny river....
Hoping this helps
SSonne

Narva?
-
Damn it Maxi, you ninja'd me!
-
city named after river.......Moscow? :D
-
Umm...
Don River? I think there's a town named after that...hm.
-
damn, eastern front is from volga to berlin, from finland to caucasus........and we must find one bloody river and town? :D can you say us if is that in USSR, central europe, finland etc. ? ???
-
Narva?
Damn it Maxi, you ninja'd me!
very interesting....
but
*Möööööööp* ;D
okay-
another helping point:
-the "towers" in the city beyond are quite looking like grain silos
So what is the name of that city and how is the valley/river called then (mapname)?
?!?!
SSonne
pssst:
The "Valley" is better called a "Balka"
PS @ Partyzan:
Its near Volga-river....
-
damn, its stalingrad!!!!!! volgograd now
-
damn, its stalingrad!
Yes, you are quite near!
...but how is the valley/river called then?!?!

How many battles where fought here?
Also, can I get a year?

It's Stalingrad (and it's name today is Wolgograd)

Today,
I decided to give my baby a name:
Zariza Balka
(sounds better than "valley" )
and the mapping goes on and on.......
so long

I should've realized when he mentioned "Tsarista"

yes maybe you are right? or maybe not ...
but If its not the best fucking and greatest map of the world then you will be wiped with toilet paper

-

make this sense? not at all :P
...so I should stop mapping deleting everything?!
This would be your way, probably ;)
Going wiped away with toilet paper wont be a new experience to me.... (its not that ugly everybody says)
But if I only had time completing this map instead of doing anything else....
So please stay tuned.....
Isnt anybody waiting for something, not?! :)

c`mon I don`t be a mapper I put only the requirements^^
and btw I don`t have the tool to be a good mapper because I am not very patient :P
keep it up :)

its been some time ago,
since I deleted almost everything to make a restart of this fine project 8)
Today, id like to present you some pics of my progress.... Map is very playable, but lacks 80% of splats, objects and grass-features....
enough the words (and my spelling)
I didnt like the original VPs, so I stamped them all into the ground:
(http://imageshack.us/a/img5/977/zb5vp.jpg)
Hasnt anybody seen this tent before? ;)
(http://imageshack.us/a/img38/8636/zb2tent.jpg)
Tactical map update:
(http://imageshack.us/a/img11/6960/zb2tactical.jpg)
And a loading screen, done while I was getting tired to the mapping process:
(http://imageshack.us/a/img825/9420/zb1load.jpg)
please wait for more infos & pics to come :)
´bye
SSonne

Looking forward to this map :D!
Also, that loading screen looks very good :).
-
Interesting. :)
As you said, it's missing nearly all of it's ground textures/grass, so I guess we can wait for a much better laoding screen. :D

Hei!
thanks for your interest in grass-textures but, as a Beta Tester you may know how I think about them actually at this time :-X
The shown flora in the loading screen nearly represents the desired area still looking like that, today!
So dont expect much more or even a jungle or something like that... ;)
The main issue Im dealing with is the problem of shot-blocking through the grounds... There are still some areas to fix and Im also looking forward for an open-beta release of this map, relating the "special" gameplay: It will be a little different as you may know it in the past ...
Thanks for your patience,
greetings
SSonne
-
Actually, no I don't. Best I don't ask though. ;)
And, ah, "special" gameplay? Is it something akin to a coop mission, perhaps?
-
long time- no see....
To gain more feedback about the "special-gameplay" Id like to offer an open beta version to everyone who's interested in :)
please leave a comment after testing (and don't blame me for the missing visual features)
There are many reasons for why I had stopped working on this project (see my "ugly-thread" in the beta-forum) so its all about the gameplay you would like to remark...
My intention to create this valley fighting was the reason to increase infantry activity and lower vehicle/tank -support!
So the bases are connected for vehicle activity only - the victory points and ressources have to be secured by manpower ;D
Here a quick overview (the green shows the vehicles zone)
(http://imageshack.us/a/img577/1343/42l7.jpg)
Although it can be played as comp-stomp, I recommend this map for PvP (never tested PvP myself)
finally, the downloadlink

(http://www.file-upload.net/download-7759496/4p_zariza_balka.sga.html)
( outdated! go for post #56!)
and please.... PLEASE leave a comment after watching to kickass me and/or get this map done
best regards
SSonne

im playing the map now and so far it's realy good as a comp stomp light on the stomp part though since i play against 2 normal ai's but i love the infantry usage and limited tank usability it gives 1 way for tanks to come in to your base but plenty of ways for infantry i like that cant wait to see the finished map:) great work so far keep it up
