mp_africorps is a medium sized multiplayer map set in a desert town in africa. There is a big hotel in the middle of this town, which you can enter. Inside you find a lobby, a swimming hall and several rooms.

This map currently supports the following game modes:
dm tdm ctf hq

There are 3 stationary mg's in this map which are present in dm tdm hq but not in ctf mode.

I'm not satisfied with some stuff yet, that's why there will be an update in the near future. But i've worked the last 2 1/2 weeks everyday and a few nights on this map and now i need a little pause. Besides some graphical improvements, i'll probably add support for the S&D mode in version 1.1.

If you own a server and want to run this map, you can download it from here: http://www.fileden.com/files/1141/Mods/CoD2_mp_africorps_v1.0.zip

This is my first map made with the radiant and my first mp map ever.

Before i post some screenshots, i have a request: If you like this map and you are good in adding portals efficiently, please contact me, because i'm too stupid to get them to work. I always get error messages and the portals will be ignored. That's why i haven't added any portals yet , which means that my map could run slowly on some machines ... some screenshots (made in DirectX 7 mode - looks better in 9):

Looks like a really nice map.

Thanks. But the shadows are ugly as hell. I'm still working on it... I can't believe that this engine is not capable of drawing smooth shadows. Even the oldest games can do this better.

Shadows can be smooth... dunno how but they can be smooth.


What worries me.... is the size of your map in MB's. 28MB ????

How the heck you get 28 MB?

I only have stored the files within the iwd. I haven't compressed them. The zip file is only 8.45MB so downloading shouldn't take that long

I got a 29 MB IWD.

What do you mean? My iwd or your own map iwd? As i said, i have stored the files only, i could have compressed them, but i read somewhere in a tutorial for an older quake engine game, that everything runs a little smoother if the files are only stored. But i don't know if that's true. But the zip file that contains my map is only 8.45 MB.

HUH?

I download and find a 28.8 iwd in the zip.

You don't understand me people. The iwd is 28.8, yes. But i've packed this (uncompressed) iwd into an ordinary zip file, and that zip file is compressed and 8.45 MB. Understood? I explained above why i haven't compressed the iwd file, but i'll realease version 1.1 in a few days and i'll compress the iwd of v1.1 so that it isn't that large anymore.
