Custom DC map added to the server ?

[Nightster]

Hey fellas
I have a really fun map that was intended for a DC_Final patch that was never released(just like 80% of my maps ha ha). After I made the map I got to busy with BF:V and later BF2 modding and since DCF canceled their patch I told the DCFX mod team they could use the map but they never released one either. But now years later after suddenly having this DC craving and I'm back playing DC. It never really occurred to me to convert this map from DCF to DC but I converted it now. :-)

I know as of right now there is one custom map advertised on the server and it would be an honor if my map could be added to the server and played. I'm not talking about putting it in rotation but if you guys allow simply having it and running it from time to time would make me so happy and all those hrs of work to make it would actually have more meaning ha ha

What do you guys think ?

Here 2 differen't links to download the map to download the map ( idk how good box.net is hopefully I will get it uploaded somewhere better soon)

DC_In_The_Rocks.rar 4.6 MB
OR
DC_In_The_Rocks.zip 5.1MB
These links are current, have been updated and fixed, either will work

Map description: Small infantry map similar to the size of "DC Basrah Nights" it plays and feels like a other city map but has a really fun twist of being all natural atmosphere. it's a one of a kinda map.

My cheesy story line:
"After a minor defeat enemy forces have retreated into the mountains. The terrian is too rocky to move in with
vehicles and because of this stormy weather air support is impossible. Your going to have to move in on foot solider.
We believe the Opposition leader is amoung them so move quickly and eradicate all enemy traces."
(And yes when you get in game there really is a storm effect going on all around you that goes along with the story) Basically the story is a cheap reason why there are no vehicles PURE infantry mayhem.



Here's some screen shots of the map

Ohh BTW there are several "easter egg's" in the map, let's have a little competition to see who can find this one first.
1st hint: it's buy some rocks :p



I hope you all enjoy the map and I can host a small 1v1 server anytime someone wants to play. This map is actually quite fun 1v1 as well.

PS I guess I should announce that in a few days I'm going to be working in the DC area (College Park) and I will only be taking my laptop which is a Macbook Pro (Yes PC I converted to the dark side :p but only because mac's rule the Graphic Design world) So because it's a mac I cannot run bf1942 and will be gone until I return but I will still be able to visit the forums.

oh my, interesinting. Will give this a DL tonight.

If I run it on my box, maybe we can get a few of us regulars in there.

It's not working for me, we tried it on the private server and it CTD (crashes to desktop).

Not good. I'll try and figure it out. It works locally for you though right ? My first guess is that I missed some line of code and it's referencing something from one map or location on my computer that isn't on yours. Because it works fine on my computer so that would be my guess. I will get to the bottom of this.

I don't know which "file" inside the RFA these come from, but I found it in my hex editor when I was exploring the map data.

PositiveX = DC_Final\levels\DC_In_The_Rocks\Textures\env_DC_In_The_Rocks_04.dds
NegativeX = DC_Final\levels\DC_In_The_Rocks\Textures\env_DC_In_The_Rocks_02.dds
PositiveY = DC_Final\levels\DC_In_The_Rocks\Textures\env_DC_In_The_Rocks_05.dds
NegativeY = DC_Final\levels\DC_In_The_Rocks\Textures\env_DC_In_The_Rocks_06.dds
PositiveZ = DC_Final\levels\DC_In_The_Rocks\Textures\env_DC_In_The_Rocks_03.dds
NegativeZ = DC_Final\levels\DC_In_The_Rocks\Textures\env_DC_In_The_Rocks_01.dds

Map works perfectly now, Programmer One and I were playing it for a while last night. Special thanks to Programmer One for helping me get that thing fixed we thought we had fixed it so many times and tested it over and over and finally we figured out that it was a stupid 50 cal spanner that for some reason works in single play but not multi. So the 50 cal has been removed but can be added in via server side anytime.

I showed Programmer One how to find my little friend. But I still wanna see who can find him on their own the fastest :p

Nightser, did you edit the original download link or do you need to post a new download link?

[Nightster]

I edited it :) Ooops I must have forgotten to mention that I edited it, I swear it was on my mind to say that and that I had...you see me and Programmer One pulled an all-nighter last night (hence my name right ... it's suiting lol) so when I posted that last post at 6 am that was on 0 sleep and I was way out of it by then and not thinking very strait.

Anyway the link has been modifyied and heres a new link just in case....PS the new link is a .zip instead of .rar because it might be more user friendly. :)

This is the direct link to the .zip file but the top ,rar link is the same thing ( I have edited the top links and now the .zip and .rar are up top)
