This is the best D Dya map of all time! sorry about the 4 files to download... but with some all new sceneries it had to be done! cause this forum only lets you upload things that are under 200kb.... [B)]

I have put a lot of work into this and im not going to update it anymore... well maybe a bug fix here and there... but nothing major!

1) Overview screen would be nice.

2) I took the time to make you a SINGLE .zip file with all the stuff in it, of course, after I did, I realized it was too big to upload. [IMAGE]

From the Screenies the map looks sweet but why is the beach red

Darac
August 23, 2003, 1:09 am
the beach isnt red! the beach is a yellowy colour. the groud is red... it went that colour after lightening and darkening it... i still havnt quite got the hang of these new fancy features

Darac, like I said: "Original map scenery cannot be modified. Please reinstall the game."

~Phil

PS: I still don't think it will be good at all. I don't think any d-day map could be good, for reasons I stated on your first thread. And the red ground does look..... ehhhhhh...... I still don't beleive that you were part of the mapping guild, all the maps I've seen so far from you have been crap.

PSS: Where the black flag is, I have a recommendation:

Get rid of the crappy repeated bunker scenery in the "tunnels" and make your own scenery, same for the main bunker with the SG in it.
I suggest you also don't make the black flag so closed in, take off the polygon above it, and make is accessible from the top.

Hey Phil, I had the same problem. Open up the map in the Map Maker, and save the map in the map dictionary but under a different file name, it should work now, it worked with me. Let me know if it worked.

August 23, 2003, 10:13 pm
Still doesn't work.

I get same error, and save thingie doesnt work..

Darac
August 24, 2003, 1:31 am
odd.... well i get that error in some maps and even opening and saving it as the same name works for me. try recompiling it first then save it. see if that works

August 24, 2003, 2:27 am
I Tried that 2 :P Didnt work Eighter..

Darac
August 24, 2003, 4:34 am
odd... well i have no idea... unless... it has somethign to do with me putting in sceneries and then taking them out and not uploading them.... could that be it?

Darac
August 24, 2003, 5:06 am
i just finished doing some investigating. i reinstalled soldat into a new folder and then tryed to install the map as if i was downloading it from the web for the first time. like you it said "you must reinstall the game blah blah..." so i opened the map in the map editor and i saved it again. with out changing anything or recompiling it or changing the name and it worked.... so i dont know whats going on for you guys.... BUT i am suspect of one of the sceneries. railing.bmp it has corsed me some trouble before.... and im unsure why....
but just to make sure iv uploaded the railling.bmp download it and replace the one you got earlyer. (it is the same pic so it wont stuff up other maps that might use it)

http://soldatforum.dnagames.net/data/Darac/2003824559_railing.bmp

file is not zipped but is still very small.
try that... if it doesnt work then i out of ideas.

Hitman
August 24, 2003, 6:02 pm
Yeah that must be it

Darac
October 2, 2003, 12:22 pm
bump. because of the new omaha beach map. and someone asked where to find it.

if you get a problem opening the map in the game. try opening it in the map maker. and resaving the map. if this does not work. ill update the downloads and try get it working.

note: this is best for 16 on 16! bots do work well. so you can fill a server with them. (its a large map)

It looks ok but I have to say that the red ground doesn't look the best. I can't say much on the 'reality' of it, as I've never read much about these battles or seen any kind of related movie... Other than that, it looks good.. kinda late to comment, I know, lol....

I have the map and all the sceneries...but when I try to play it I get the original scenery bug, and when I open it in mapmaker the custom sceneries aren't there.

How very gay.

Darac
October 6, 2003, 5:28 am

I thinks teh map is okeh dokeh but teh tower is abusive use of bunker scenery.
Teh town is a bit bright, it looks like my warhammer scenery.
And did you make teh water for blue "blanks" and if you did hope you don't mind if I use teh same thingeh for meh uwn map.
and teh tank in teh town didn't fit in either.

btw I am teh 1337 ChainZaw ridah!
