SP map conversions by MaxiKing6
« on: April 10, 2011, 03:28:16 PM »
Hello community!

A while ago, I spent my time converting SP maps to make them playable in MP. My conversions include all maps from Invasion of Normandy, Operation Market Garden, Liberation of Caen, Tiger Ace, La Fiere Causeway and Trun.
Every map has its loading screen, map preview and KI works in most cases.
If you are interested, feel free to post. I'll also upload single maps because I don't think someone actually wants e.g. Omaha Beach for MP (though the poll makes me believe that I'm wrong in this point).


1.) Operation Market Garden SP conversion map pack

















Have fun!  :D

That sounds great! There are some good maps in the Normandy Campaign that were never made MP :/ (Though I don't know about the others  ::))

Would love to see those conversions! And no, I don't think a Omaha Beach MP Map would look so good xD Gives whichever team is on top of the cliff a huge advantage.

Did you asked the "real" mapper of the maps already that you are allowed to publish them for MP?

Okay Arnhem is on my list and I will upload it tomorrow.

Also I'll create a poll where everyone can state his/her (:P) favourite map that he/she wishes to be uploaded.

@walki1: Like cephalos said, there are many conversions already that are also used by mods officially. If Relic would disagree with the release of these conversions, I would have recognised it. I see no point why I shouldn't be allowed to change the maps a little. I take no credits for making them, just for converting.

@Moonwalker: Thank you, though you didn't actually see any of the maps yet :P

Some of these have already been done. ;)

And i agree with BurroDiablo that Arnhem would be great. Do you think you could make it so Panzer Elite start with the same units, and the Brits still surrender? ;D

I know that many of them are already done, I did them in mid-late 2009, so some of the already existing ones are younger than mine.

Making them able to surrender will need SCAR code; the problem is that when you use SCAR in MP maps, you can't win the game, even if you destroyed all enemy buildings so there's an eternal camping in the end.

If you still wish to have surrender in MP, check this.

About the PE starting units (I think you mean the King Tiger and the Panzer IV here :P):
I can make it for you personally, but not for the official MP version, because it f***s balance.

That was sarcasm, man...

But, yeah, it seems pretty redundant to add your own multiplayer maps from the campaign when they have already been done by relic.

Just a note, you might want to put that up to 3 or 4 choices for each person, It's hard to vote for just 1!

For this I'd need a new poll in a completely new topic because there is not an option for this when I just add the poll to the topic. I'll create the new topic then.

@pariah: The maps done by Relic are not the complete SP maps, mostly just a part of them.

Oh, O.K., so you're just slightly modifying the maps for multiplayer, rather than the essential reimagining that some are?

This is correct. I just add territory if not there already, I add the bases for the players (at locations where I think it fits best for both optic and gameplay) and remove the SP objects (e.g. invisible control structures, ralley points, SCAR markers and wntity groups). Then I open Photoshop and create the preview pics.
