[WIP] Rostov (8)
« on: October 25, 2009, 03:59:45 PM »
I saw the need for more 8 player maps in the EF mod so I though about doing a conversion of one of my older maps. The conversion is more involved than Kiev, in fact the original was a desert.

"Rostov" takes place on the outskirts of the city of Rostov. The Germans have had great success in their advance into Russian and with their new airfield, out side the main city and near a small village, they are in a great position to attack moscow. However the Russian winter is starting to fall and the Red army is eager to strike back!

First version to be tested:

I hid the British symbols  ;D , but I figured some one would comment on that.

I may be able to get the map out this evening (my time) if all goes well, else it will probably be out tomorrow. All I have left is one small area to touch up and then the side components (loadscreen, menu minimaps, weather options, etc...)

Don't worry about the loading screen nor the minimaps.

I assume that the EF modders will be making their own for the final versions?

Yes. No doubt you can make decent screens and minimaps, but we need them standardised so they all have the same style. That is all.

@wartyx; I like the fact that you will be adding in your own loadscreens, it will make the mod look more professional!

@nbeerbower; I do it the same way I do in any version, create the options file, since the map runs through a mod the weather option actually shows up in game, without having to run the map in dev mode.

@everyone else; I have the first version for you to criticize. Let me know if the resources are good, if there are any bugs, or something you just don't like and I will try to fix it!

You would have to place the map file with the other .sga maps you have downloaded,
(my location: My Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\WW2\Scenarios)
but after that it should run in any version of the game or mod you are running.

If you do not see a folder you probably just need to create it (I know I had to create 1 or 2 for this location)
