Should be fully playable now. Eggman, your old AAS script, I think you made one, should still work. Go ahead and run it in Gloryhoundz Test's map rotation, if you please.

Changes;

Barricades return to the village.
Village wall adjusted.
All SMGs in the town will spawn as SAWs or Type-95's depending on their position, not the flag owner.
Trees added to screen the view of the OOB area from the normal playfield.
Capture zones reduced in size.
Bridge CP relocated slightly.
Vehicle spawn times adjusted (Whoops! Forgot to do this! Uploading a fresh version now.

Enjoy! (once I upload the new version)

Edit2: Lightmaps generated! I'm packaging the mod! I'm uploading it to Savefile.com! Oooooh!

fuzzhead wrote:New Bugs:

- Version number is still the same in the breifing (very small detail, unimportant)

- Some of the light maps look weird on the sandbags in and around the village. A very minor superficial bug however.

Huh. Care to give some screenshots of specific sandbags?

- Can see the bridge flag underwater now (dont know if this is intentional or not?)

Sort of. I was trying to move the capture area to be fairly split between halves of the village. I'll need to see how AAS scales the capture radius. (Ps. I don't like scaling capture radi!)

Old Bugs:

- Estate Flag Point is uncapturable from the ground (havnt had a chance to actually test this, but it wasnt in your map fix list)

Has been fixed to my recollection.

- Can still enter enemy vehicles (tanks, apc, transport helo) *Needs more testing*

Unsure how to solve this. Anyone?

- CP Names need to be changed.

CP names have to be that way for AAS to work, what I need is an idea how to make the renaming file.

- One of the Ladders on northside of village is unclimbable (its too far from the ground)

Spotted this one myself. Will solve.
Suggestions (Old & New):

- If it doesnt cause any performance hits, add more breakable defense inside the village (ie the windows along the walls, a few more wooden fences in the alleyways) These are great Nikov Im glad they are back! A team could use these as part of its defense system, destroying some barriers, but leaving others, forcing the enemy to either waste a grenade, or move around, all the while exposing themselves to your teams killzone.

I couldn't find any more reasonable places to install barriers, and wouldn't want to add them for the sake of themselves. If you do spot a good place for a barrier, please let me know specifically.

- add mounted LMG to sandbag bunker in south part of town.

The circular one? There is already a MG placed in the window of the convenience store, adding another on one side would require another on the other side. I may move the store window MG to the top floor's sandbags so both guns have a height advantage, however that position may be exposed.

If anyone thinks of a -really good place- to put a machine gun, ATS or any other stationary, please let me know.

- if possible, make the grass twice as dense.

- if possible, increase grass draw distance, its short.

Mutually exclusive, I'm afraid. I think I'll increase the draw distance, that's more important IMO.

- take out the black hawk and put in 2 little birds, and get rid of the LAV25 APC. change up the balance so its not Chinese = USMC in capability.

Well, the Little Birds don't exactly fit, being more of a recon than an actual transport helo. As the demo trailer showed, they've modified the Blackhawks somewhat and I'm eager to see them used. In the 64-player version, which I haven't built yet (doh) the US will actually frist spawn with several transport helos and a Cobra on the southwestern mountaintops and proceed to capture the entire map from that. So the US will have helicopter support but China will have two AAV's and possibly an extra tank.

- if possible, do what EA did in karkand, and have a spawn linked to the us main that allows you to pick to spawn either near the convoy, or up in the hill/base

The map's theme of a US assault on a previously captured valley made me place the spawn points on the road, to theme with "reinforcements". If infantry get cut to peices spawning down there, I could add some trees for initial cover and cut a path in the hillside for them. Spawns will always occur within a bit of walking distance from the actual capture point to encourage teams to have defenses established before the enemy attacks, rather than scramble from spawn points.

- Add png's for the map overview

Will do for final.

- The village capture radius should be only areas that are within the village walls.

- The estate should only be cappable inside/next to the enterable building.

AAS scaling makes these things difficult. I can't really tell how large the radii are going to be between a 16 and a 64 player game. In any case, the "area" capture feel isn't a bad one unless the radii start getting insane.

- The main base spawns should take a long time to neutralize.

I turned up the time-to-lose significantly, would you like two or three minute neutrlaization times?


Nice work Nikov the lightmaps look great!! It appears the weird sandbag texture is gone?? Is this because of light maps?

Just wondering, what are the spawn times for all the different vehicles now? It looked like the tanks were set to around 3 minutes?
