Suggestion: Observer Maps
« on: October 05, 2013, 09:19:38 AM »
I play Eastern front for more than 2 Years and i enjoy every minute with this Mod...i also love some of the Maps.
In vanilla there are Observer Maps for the best Maps...and iam the only guy who makes Eastern Front Videos on Youtube (German and English)
So i want to ask all mappers how much work it is, only some Observer maps of maybe Demjansk; Elbing and Kotlenikovo transfer to Observer.

Because i think this would be very nice not just for me; if you want to release public new players can watch some good games and i think thats an good idea..whats your oppinion about this?

I know thats a lot of work, you can include it in den next Patch; or if you didnt want to realease this for all people you can give it just to some Players.
Thats your thing. I think Observer Maps for EF would be great!!!!!!!!

Hope this will be an good discussion....Best Regards Tiger

The reason there are not many observer maps (if any at all) is because they simply do not work 100% with the game engine, they are fundamentally broken and crash after you complete any games on them (No fix for this).

They do work great for testing the AI, as you can watch how it plays against itself, but other then that their is really no properly working multilayer functionality for them.

Also if you make convert a 1vs1, 2vs2, or 3vs3 it will crash when you select those map size in the maps menu (Basically meaning you can only play 8p maps if you do this)...

We had working observer maps in the past for internal testing.

Abuse is abuse and has to go.

Hmm the Observer maps for vanilla worked very good; i mean the crash is bad but ingame it was good.
Does the Observer Maps for your internal Version existing ore have you delated them already? Iam very intrested in having some EF Observer maps; the crashes after games are ok for me; i work very often with the vanilla Observer Maps.

I use the Observer only for Multiplayer Games and it works!!!!
