I just thought i'd let you know about my upcoming map, [DH] Pointe Du Hoc! Info and screenshots can be found at http://www.teamdh.tk (click the forums link as its not yet posted on the projects page)...

Any suggestions welcome!

edit: Link now points to the right location

Link leads to front page of MODSonline.

Just out of interest why do most links in the forums always link back to modsonline when you click them?

Either use the "link button" when you post a link or make sure you actually type "http://www.randominternetadress.com" instead of just www.randominternetadress.com.

The www one points back to Modsonline.

Looks like a good start. This is SP correct? Better hurry before CoD2 is released!!!! ;)

Also, try using larger and lower density patches for your terrain. Since your making a near actual size area, you save alot of tris. Keep the detail to the trenches, bunkers, etc.

I would make the 'point' rock outcroping from patch meshes kinda like an arch. Also, you might want to consider using the same terrain textures I used on DogRed and for my new map DogGreen (Vierville-sur-Mer) for a consistent look across these maps. Would be kinda cool dontcha think? I have posted them in the 'other' Point du Hoc thread here:

Good Luck!

The map is MP but an SP version may be released later... The beach is just one mesh and the accessible beach cliffs are just 3 meshes in total so my tris count is pretty low... I like your choice of textures and I will probably use textures along those lines in my map! The map is in its realy early stages as I have only been working on it for a couple of hours and I am feeling quite pleased about how its progressing!

Cheers!

the rocks look too pointy...and whats the point, exactly, of those beach obstacles sitting high up on a bunker?

I agree with ={W}=DEVIL
The idea of the obstacles was to stop planes landing on the open beaches and to slow advancing transport. Not what you'd expect to see sat on a bunker. Unless of course it was a bunker big enough to land a glider on.

Other than that it looks great, keep the theme going and you should be on to a winner.
