dod_pegasus_bridge

1500 wpoly is excessive for the hl engine imo.
on a lighter note, The pegasus map on CoD is stunning

While 1500 r_speed is above the recommended level, it is not excessive. Excessive would be 2500, or 9999.

Anyway, the pegasus map on CoD is rather impressive, but for this map I am attempting to make it much more realistic and exact. I am also using some textures from MOH: Allied Assault, modified of course, which tend to raise the speeds because of their resolution, which I will be lowering. So it is likely that I will be in the 1000 w_poly range.

Also I'll probably have to change the name slightly, to dod_pegasus_bridge or something, as you pointed out it is already taken.

I think allot of people will disagree with you about the r_speeds. However, I did actually mean CoD rather than DoD.

See December 7th comment under dod_rural for explanation of r_speeds if you feel the need to comment on them. Thanks.

Looks good! 1500 wpoly... well, I suppose it would only have a problem on low-end machines. dod_ths has wpoly 2000+, and it seems to run fine on a 266.

A map i made earlier has no more nor less thaaaaan...(prepare yourselves)...5000WPOLY in larger spots.

I think this map doesn't really seem to have much in the way of a multiplayer type layout. It just wouldn't work that much, it's not a full DoD level per se. But it would be great for making movies in, since the layout and r_speeds don't add up to gameplay, why not use the eye-candy for it's beauty and showcase a movie in it.

Its an interesting idea Gorbachev, one i'll have to consider.

The map does play pretty well, kinda like those dodgy trench maps dod newbies make, but obviously not that dodgy. Its layout also makes it a challenge for the players, particularly when it comes down to fighting across the bridge, requiring a fair level of team work for each team.

You should be able to play it yourself in a couple of days, as my r_speed tweaking is almost complete.

Hello Hello peoples. My second attempt at dod mapping has arrived. My map dod_pegasus_bridge recreates most of the landing and assault on pegasus bridge by british airborne forces in the early hours of D-day.

As I've explained in my profile its kind of a show case map (thanks for that oneReno :biggrin: ), focusing on creating the main features of the actual location as accuratly as possible in halflife. Also I've had to make concessions for the HL engine in certain places, not giving the players the same field of view as in COD. But its pretty accurate, at least where the main battle took place.

The objectives are simple, capture the bridge, but players will find it anything but simple, with at times frantic play and high level of team work required.

The r_speeds are high, yes, but not through shody construction like my first dod map dod_remagen. Its more because the area is so open, large and detailed. It is however still highly playable on a LAN and a bit of fun. I've also included waypoints and learn files for Sturmbot, the premier dod bot. The ways are ok, well at least to the best of my meagre ability :smile: . Its also got my first serious attempt at custom texturing.

Anyway, me hopes you'll all check it out. Enjoy.
