Project Normandy - General Discussion

[AfterDune]

Good to know, not detrimental to gameplay - if you decide to include that is - since they can only spawn when and if the americans conquer the beach.

If the tanks are in the map, they'll only spawn at about the same time, for balance reasons of course.

I know we're still in WIP - etc

It will be a ***** for the US to capture the beaches, that's for sure. Teamwork is the key. The first five minutes, it'll be fun to storm the beach and die over and over again, but you'll realize soon enough you can only win if you attack as one big blob of soldiers - but even then, it will be a hard fight. But that's fine. The US will get enough tickets to compensate their losses.

The map can be played with 64 players as well, except for the beaches. I think I'll add two layers to the map. One for the event (open) and one with defined combatareas (with reduced beach-flags and routes to those flags).

I think you Dev guys should talk to the Forgotten Hope 2 team and make one awesome ww II mod together.

EDIT: Just being a fool.

[AfterDune]

Please don't post those here. Sure, everyone can see them, but they're also for me to remember things and test things out. I'm not going to comment on them.

[pfhatoa]

Maybe time to lock the poll to avoid this bumping?

[Gozjh]

Afterdune, will bangalore torpedos be included to destroy wire (if wire is made destroyable)?

[AfterDune]

Thought about it, but no, there would be a lot of destroyable objects then. Instead, it's as if others have done that for you already. There are a bunch of spots that have blown up razorwire and such. And I placed static bangalores there.


They're not really authentic or anything, but I thought it was a nice touch

[Gozjh]

Very nice. Also I read through the code wiki, and I have one thing to say (acctualy have alot more, but you probley don't want me blerting it out):

POOR DEAD COWS,WHY ARE YOU SO CRUEL!!!?!!!?!?!!!?!?! I WILL CALL PETA ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wakain]

cows have been killed in every good ww2 shooter, and quite some ww2 rts's as well, get over it!

[Lucke189]

Maybe there could be some kind of ins mode, where the Germans search for weapon caches from the Resistance?

That would be really interesting!

[Ratface]

OK, instant erection for this ww2 nerd after watching that vid

Just a quick question, are we going to be seeing mortar tube based grappling hooks mounted on the LCVP's like used on Pointe du Hoc, or are we going to see player equipped grappling hooks like normal to scale some of those cliffs? I did notice the rock cliff statics which means you will be able to grapple up them somehow

But he hit them with a jeep,then they mooed post mordum! COW'S SHOULD NOT MOO AFTER DEATH. IT IS NOT RIGHT.

The specialist carries a grappling hook. You can throw it further/higher than in regular PR though (otherwise the cliffs are too high in most cases). It's more like in FH2, if you're familiar with that.

We talked to the dead cows and they agreed to not moo anymore, as it disturbed some of the older players .

[Ratface]

^LOL, and I'm attempting to download FH2 but the file keep becoming corrupted, lol, but good work, can't wait to play!!!

argument solved by R-Dev intervention

Noticed this reply about PN in Youtube.

You'll download a single map, that comes with custom objects, etc. You'll just use your PR installation.

by Afterdune

i'd love to see it be a full separate PrPn instead of just a mappack :/ I'm sure there will be servers running only this map though.

[AfterDune]

What are the advantages of a separate mod?

I believe it'll get more attention if you just use your PR installation and only download a map with the custom objects, etc. Performance-wise it doesn't matter at all and you can see the PN server(s) in your serverbrowser, next to all the other servers. This way you can also easily switch between servers running PR maps and a server running PN.

And I don't get the "just a mappack :\" comment? As if it's any different then?

[Shovel]

So, it uses the current PR US and German factions?? Or does it add new ones? I didn't know that could be done with a mappack.

[Ratface]

Well, if it was a mappack it would pretty much be the maps + statics + faction vehicles/assets/sounds/ ect., right? Would be more like a mini-update. . .

. . .but I don't really care, I'd rather go from playing silent eagle to playing dday all on the same mod anyways

[AfterDune]

It's add new factions, statics, sounds, etc.
