Hey guys.. Was on the server at the weekend.. been a few months off DC but nice to see a server running lots of maps.
This is one of the few active DC forums I have found and so I wanted to get some thoughts from DC players on a level I made.
I have modded 1942 in the past but mainly interstate race maps and wanted a shot at a close combat map.
This has a bit of a Golden eye/CS feel to it.. needs some tweaking on bases and spawns but it works... Would appreciate feedback or especially anyone who could host it.. ;)
I have played with a handful of people and it gets crazy. 30+ players will be a bloodbath. I have a couple of textures to fix in there but yeah.. need a server to test spawn points and balance mainly for now.. AIDS? Can you run a ded for a few days or just temporary?
As you said above more boxes and things to hide behind would be nice in all the hall ways, sometimes those plain grey walls can be boring so props all over the place even if they didn't give cover would make it look a lot nicer. And I'm guessing that one of the textures you spoke of fixing would be the containers by the flag they kinda don't have any texture ?
A few suggestions:
- Loading screen & thumbnail pick
- Changing the starting position. When you first load into the map it just shows water and sky in the middle of no where. ( you can set this in BC by simply moving to exactly the spot you want the game to load to in battlcraft and going to "Functions > Set Spawn Camera Position")
- You would probably have to hand draw it but a mini map or building layout would be nice.
I would be more then happy to help you test out your map, I can even host with my PC but it wouldn't be dedicated. I enjoy doing it for other mappers and I usted to do a lot of bf42 mapping years ago. It all depends on my classes, on Tuesdays like today I only have one 7:45-8:45 class :D If you want to contact me at all my xfire is nighthawk1942
Thanks for the feedback Nightster, Minimap and start placement etc will be sorted finally I think.
I have managed to borrow a svr which may be up to the challenge... we will see.

Its the same map as listed in first post. (dc_killhouse.rar) I will post an updated version once it has had a good playtest and have some feedback.
