Woah, Talk about bringing old topics back up, I remember this from last year also, PS, Techno, I loved your map btw.

saddo, games are much more important than real life ^^
just kidding, you shouldnt apologize for making us wait, looking forward to the release of these maps, been missing carentan since cod2

Carentan .map::
Almost freaked out just now, finally found Carentan and it did'nt have any entities... "skinned" wasnt ticked... jeez you can tell I havent mapped in a while. Just going to replace all my PFB added buildings with duplicates I made of the IW Carentan buildings so it all looks the exact same.

For some reason I'm missing a prefab, the MG42 house is there but the one opposite (closet to the allied spawn) is not, if I can find it I'll place it back in the map if not I'll have to release it seperately. (these two are prefabs because of their rotation)

Also I couldnt seem to find my final portalled version, so I just done some indoor portals. Wondering if people want to have the .map file with textures and models or just bare caulk?

Anyother suggestions welcome, am hoping to release the .map today or tomorrow depending on how well editting goes. All the lighting is in there etc. I'm also now bringing the buildings from my COD4 version into the COD2 version as they have been better refined etc.

Any questions or comments are more than welcome, i'll write up a readme that will be included with the .map which will contain help etc. (all gametypes are included)

very nice but aren't you at all worried about releasing the .map file and having people pass the map off as their own?
if you do decide to release the .map file, textured would be nice, but its obviously up to you and how much free time you have.
just cannot wait to play carentan on cod4 :D

I'm not bothered about the .map being used, as everyone on modsonline will know who the original author is anyway. Besides theres Chinatown for COD4 which is Carentan but.. well set in Chinatown. My Carentan is the same scale etc as the original, and people will need to put a certain amount of work into it in order to release it.

At the moment I'm having a huge problem, I can't release the COD2 .map without putting my better revised COD4 buildings into it.... only the .map format is different... so I can port from COD2 > COD4 but not COD4> COD2....

I've thought about manualling changing the .map in notepad but not sure if that would work in the end, anybody know the answer??

hmm i suppose you could try making a backup copy of it and then try to edit it in notepad, but i personally do not know what to do, im not too clever when it comes to this sort of thing. a few google searches found nothing

hows it coming along?

Going to have to remake the Barn (box house) roof and the whole of the German spawn area.... very annoying, shouldn't take too long though.
