[SP Map Pack] Spyker's SP Map Pack 1

[Spyker2041]

For those interested, test, find bugs, report back.

UDPATED 20140125
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8t8ynn9tln1i89i/Spyker_SP_MapPack_1_20140125.zip

Airport IDF vs MEC (Custom vbf2 map by SPFreak)
Asad Khal GB vs MEC
Korengal US vs Tal
Siege at Ochamchira GB vs Mil (Navmeshed by Spyker2041)

Installation:
Extract to your Battlefield 2 folder (Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2)
Dev/Mod please add steam equivalent here

NOTE: Maps are set up how I like to play and may not reflect official PR releases for SP. For example in my pack humans can only spawn at main bases/mapper placed rallypoints which don't respawn and crates are not at each flag so it is down to the human players to provide logistics.

Cool man, nice with some new sp maps so far I have only tried Korengal valley Std and the only feedback I got so far is:
*Bot's are not using vehicles.
*Bots can enter humvee but they won't drive it, this is actually pretty nice since you can now stop and put up small defensive positions without a bot being a **** and driving off in it.
Only problem I guess Is that the cool ambush opportunities as taliban are not there since the bots won't use them by themselves.
* The bots spawn at OP restrepo but human player cannot. On the loading screen minimap it looks like humans should also be able to spawn there.
Thanks for this

HMS/Ballard (or whoever meshed the map) couldn't get a decent working vehicle mesh due to the complexity of the terrain and the roads being far too tight and narrow for bot use and they are much better at meshing than me. Mesh for korengal is therefore inf only. Vehicles are there for human use and as such I have purposely made it so the bots spawn far away from the vehicle spawn locations.

With regards to spawning at restrepo, I'll add a mapper placed rally there for the next update. Thanks for taking a look

Any chance you are looking at doing a .5 style of al basrah?

Also, I would increase the overall VD for kornegal, I did something around 750, but I'm sure 500-575 would be perfect.

I agree, and if possible maybe change position on that MG so you can fire down a bit in the valley? But I guess it's hard to do because of the size of the hescoes.

[Spyker2041]

.5 style, as in USMC vs Ins?

I'll play with VD but got to keep performance in mind especially for those who will be hosting their own local SP game with the ai load on their PC too.

Would have to move the static hescos for that I think which would mean re-lightmapping/editing terrain so probably not :/

Yeah, cobra and all. Problem the best version of that level imo.

As for the VD, at 750, lowest fps I got was 28, with explosions, and gun fire overlooking the valley, so not to bad.

What sucks is the 0.5 version of basrah actually had a navmesh and I had the map circa 0.85 but somehow lost it and it is not uploaded anywhere anymore due to humyo and megaupload both no longer running.

Ran it with MEC vs Ins, can see a couple of vids here:

Start from 1:49

[SANGUE-RUIM]

MP2 when?

[Spyker2041]

Updated OP with new version.

Changes:

• Added RP to hilltop fob on Korengal as requested.
• Changed flag get/lose times to make capping flags less impossible when playing with few humans on higher difficulties.

Can you recommend a replacement for the rope bridge...bots can't cross it without falling(then drown).Also,bots that spawn @Restrepo mostly just "hang around".Some actually make to the first WP,others just chill.Besides that,love the map,it FEELS like Afghanistan.As always,Spyker you rock!

Bots do sometimes fall off the rope bridge but replacing them would require a lot of work editing the map (re-lightmap and renavmesh) so we kind of have to put up with it.

With regards to bots at restrepo, I find that they follow the road down to the valley floor. If they decide to sit there then you can take a mh6 up there, pick them up and drop them off at a flag

[Suasponte]

I can deal with it.Just wasn't sure if it was known.Also,since most of the bots spawn there,I added the Chinook @ Camp Murphy and just fly up there to pick'em up.Anyway,my regards for the great work.

a bunch of these have actually already been done for 0.95 but the compatibility of the .exe was lost on going to 1.0. I suspect they should still work as maps, if someone could extract them out of the .exe and try it would be interesting. I'm not entirely sure where it is hosted anymore, I have it somewhere on my hard drive tho.

they are hosted on gamefront and some other sites, look here:

I am using the 1.1, I already tried to extract the from the .exe, but that wasnt successful, installing isnt an option too because the exe wants the 0.975...
