D-Day Map

[Magic Odd Effect]

Here's the ideas. 

We have your typical Omaha Beach here, with a large landing ship offshore. In front of that, within jumping distance, is a small Higgins boat. If you fall of the battleship and aren't on the Higgins boat, you die at the bottom of the sea. Alpha spawns on the battleship, which also has health and nades, and perhaps a stat gun on the bow. After jumping onto the Higgins boat, there is another just in front of it, and one in the background that's blown up, split in two, and sinking.

After this, the water begins to crest slightly, and a jump from the second boat reveals that you must wade the last 100 yards (or so) to shore in chest-deep water. After the water is parted from, the beach comes up, with a slight incline for a little while, then the cliffs. OH THE CLIFFS!!! They have a stat gun on top of them. However, alpha also has a stat gun, cleverly disguised as a tank just on shore. Your typical beach X's are on the beach, with crates, barrels, craters, and other junk all over. When Alpha reaches the cliffs, they have to climb a series of crags in the side to get up. When they get up, the stat gun is all theirs. From there, the grassy lands span through seemingly untouched territory, where bushes and trees abound, with a few trenches here and there. However, all is not as it seems. The Bravos have a few pillboxes between the cliffs and their base, which may or may not be hidden in the trees. There are no stat guns in these pillboxes, however. There will be three or four, spanning a large area, and then the Bravo Base. This base is well fortified, looking like a large bunker, and will have a stat gun in front of it, and at least five windows to fire out of.

The flags are positioned with the blue flag at the lowest part of the beach, just before the water, and the red flag is in the Bravo base. The alphas must succeed in invading the countryside, and the blues must drive the Reds back to their battleship. Both flags will either be covered on top with deadly polygons (the beach one) or in the very back of a building (the bunker one) to prevent boosters from reaching them fast. The LAW is a good choice on this map, which should be played in TW, with realistic on, and has no jets. The cap limit should be low, since Alpha and Bravo don't want to have a really long, gruesome fight on their hands. I will try my hardest to make sure that TW rules are followed here, because most of the territory will be open and hard to cross fast without dying.

Ok. Making Botpaths will be hell.

[Magic Odd Effect]

I wasn't planning on waypointing. Most TW maps are made for people, not bots.

If anyone wants to, though, they can waypoint it.

[Laser Guy]

I will gladly help if there is eny need of help

[Magic Odd Effect]

Well.....if you want to waypoint it when I'm done....

[Laser Guy]

waypointing... never done it before but i can try...

[Magic Odd Effect]

I've got a bit of a problem....

Polyworks won't detect my battleship BMP that I need to use.

Umm....help, anyone?

[iDante]

did you make it in paint? cause I dont think PW detects .BMP just .bmp

[Magic Odd Effect]

I didn't make it, I stole it from Google. 

It is being detected, but the back eighth of the ship disappears when I run the map in Soldat. Weird, eh?

And all is coming along nicely. I've done the water, and made the basic framework of the map. I just need to add all the look-good things.

I've started to create a D-Day map, using a picture of HMS Sutton (1 of the ships used in D-Day) and edited it. The map is complicated, Its going to be awsomely difficult to do bot waypoints.

To the far right (out to sea) is the big HMS Sutton, at the front is a stationary gun and the spawn points are on the ship (including the white flag).

To the left of the ship is a small (almost fishing) boat. Underneath is deadly (in the sea). A jump to the left is into chest deep water. A few more jumps, and you're on the beach.

There's a stationary gun in a pillbox nearby, and just behind, the first building, with upstairs an armoury.
There's a few buildings in the background, then there's a watch tower (which you can stand on).
Then there's a large building with 3 floors, on the second is the black flag. There are many windows, which you can shoot through, and there's a stationary gun on the top (or in the watch tower).

I've created some of it, and still working on it.

I have got an idea. It will be the infiltration map but the first flag will be somewhere on the beach and second flag that means the flag where you have to send 1. flag will be in the Bravo base. There will be 2 spawn points 1 on the ship with the stat weapon and second in the air as the paratroopers. Bravo spawn point will be in their base where they have to defend. I think that now it wouldn't´t be so hard to get on the beach.

I don't like the Map Deployment Wizard. rainrider's Soldat Map Packer is more stable, and not just from my opinion (EnEsCe's sometimes misses some files).

?!?!...hum...?

Did you just say EnEsCe?

er...anyways. These maps sound rockin and I'm anxious to see them. I suppose you could waypoint a tw, but what would be the point... unless it was more of just a plain ol' infiltration.
