Yeah, except that the force isn't strong enough for you not to pass through. It just slows you down, and then throws you across.

 

I had heard that they caused erratic movement in multiplayer, is all. Like, bouncing around rapidly or something. But if it works, okie dokie.

 

I really agree with the "open the ends of the canyon" suggestion. and a nice 3d skybox would make this map go from incredible to "THE ROOF. THE ROOF. THE ROOF IS ON etc."

 

And a name too.

An empires version, emp_kalt?

 

Improved textures and displacement blending

Scorch marks in craters

 

Niiiiiiiice...

are you thinking of implementing the opening out of the canyon / 3d mountinous skybox?

 

What would work for opening it up is to make it an arctic island. Surround it with deep water, with a hurt brush everywhere in the water. The brush makes perfect sense, arctic water is deadly cold.

 

Shrink those scorch marks down a bit, as it looks like it's simply on snow at the moment, and not like there's dirt underneath. Also, pile up some snow against the bases of those buildings, because they look like they were built on top of the snow instead of on top of the ground underneath.

 

ow and needles to say make sure the snow all heaps up on the same sides of the buildings.. Otherwise you get these odd looks where it looks like the wind blowed in from several directions :/

 

Does snow get scorched? Either way, it's looking good.

 

I don't think so. Scorch marks are created by heat, heat melts snow, so it could scorch snow, but that snow would be melted in seconds.

 

I think that's dirt, rather than scorch marks.

 

same here, I think it works really well.

 

It's gonna get scorch marks on it ingame anyway.

 

do NOT make it an island, everyone wants to make islands, wait untill 2.0 for the islands.

I Love this map, it looks good, lots of cover and vehics have to play smart or will end up in a hole, on a trap, in a trench. Its looking very good but I would like to see the craters having diffrent sizes, snow piled on one side of the buildings, perhaps some more (2 or 3) destroyed tanks or jeeps, possibly on fire).

Also I agree that you should chop off the edges of the canyon and give it a 3d sky box so it looks like it goes further on. If you like, you could only chop off one end and make the other look like a dam or just a huge, ancient wall that perhaps people began to live around over the centuries but has again become a hot spot in this most recent war.

I adore that bomb out building, this is brilliant work, once you get done Im going to get it official.

EDIT: Oh, and call it emp_Westernfront or somthing more inline with the game, perhaps emp_Kolnoutskirts or just emp_Northumberland

Dont use Koln pass, koln pass is much more epic, huge, hold two entire armies at bay for months, kind of deal.

 

All of that is already in the works.

 

But what about opening up? please dont use invis walls, those get you killed so much.

 

i wouldn't mind invisible walls, though it can be done a lot more tactfully, such as an invisible wall and a noticable incline, that sorta thing.

 

Or it's someone's secret project. >_>

 

Do you still need those shells for the feild guns?

Also make the guns destroyable.
