[REL] rnl_stannum_v2

Alright, first public version finished . Read all about it in the link bellow:

Official thread:

Hey Shuffel. How about a cellar with a door that can only be opened from outside? Like a switch to do this or something. You know, Joseph Fritz-kinda solution.
That would perhaps make that map suitable for prisoners (POW), cos this way you would not have to guard them.

Sounds like a cool idea . Although I bet people would get trapped in there in pub .

Put a decal in the wall with a text saying that "Type 'kill' in console to free urself"
A lockable room would make a map to stand out from others...

Yea I like the idea . If there are warnign signs, it should be NP. Just gotta mek it look liek a prison or so .

I bet it would be suitable in that big house at the end of the map

Two prison cells
(opened by a button on the side (which was the only way I could make it work perfectly))


And an overview picture of the map on it's way to first release =).

Cool. is it underground?

Yea in the cellar at the last obejctive, the big house at the last picture in the first post.

Looking good so far... I guess you finally found a way to make a map that forces people to go around a lake
Playtesting without trees seems lame tho

Yea =).

Trees, bushes and hedges, and important hight differences. Gameplay stuff should be included in the first playtest. Doors+windows in houses, no chimneys .

How about a ground level misty fog that the early morning/late night usually has?

Hmm, looks cool. Could be something to try out. I suspect masturbate-worthy feeling around the pond/lake.

If not, that would be cool for Omahabeach, which really has (to me) a "cold and very early summer morning"

An updated overview picture. Really like how the "south-west" part of the map turned out .



And how it can look when making it into the minimap (Don't mind the objectives being on the side like that. I just haven't put them out yet )

Some more progress ^^

Well not sure if it is stable or all those things, but here is something that might be playable: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6uwmfb

Everything seems to work when I am alone, but it would be cool to set up an larger private test

How about u test also that invasion of ur brothers pc and making a dedicated server

How about we set a date for a testing session on a server?
If you hate Rs now you could always ask 6th or another clan...
I'm always free because i have very few 'life'

Yea, a date would be cool! Really try and get quite many players together. I was thinking like, 9.reg 6th AB and Rs + friends of those people or something.

I think we have a pretty good relasionship with Rs actually. I think the break up was pretty mutual, but not because we hate eachother but just have totally different ideas of how to enjoy RnL .

This was obviously a goal when we left the clan, because Rs is one of the clans we really wants to play with when and if we get a team "big and devoted" enough .

Is there a way to make capzones non-recapturable in RnL?
That would be one way to make the gameplay different than in the other maps. Like a build-in Rs-style EAG gameplay.

Also think about the DH-style teleport-spawning. So that teams spawn in this special room where there are doors that have name-tags over them saying like "Pond House" or "Barn" etc... Although this kind of spawn system would be kinda unnecessary in this map cos it is so straight forward.
Check the beginning of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7PlXVbDsJY

no prob at all to make them non-recapturable =).

tele-spawns like that would be cool. Could actually be a solution to the common problem when you dont spawn at the objective you want =).

I would recommend ditches beside roads. It just makes roads look much better. Sandbags would be nice too.

How about redesigning the map abit so it would be complete hedgerow hell where you can't see past 100ft without some bocage blocking your line of sight?

Great work Mjarr, excellent work. Your first post and immediatelly you are criticizing his first map he has ever done.. :E eeexcellent.

Technically speaking it's not criticizing, rather giving a suggestion how the map could look bit more interesting by some rather unreasonable standards. It looks quite decent as it is, but it resembles your typical generic open turkey shootout and given the impression the preview gives, it looks like the size of a matchbox aswell.

Might be a matter of playing the map before you can really see does it work or not, but as noted - just from the look of it - it looks bit silly, and if we fall into the more realistic category a random farm with full of sandbags, dug in positions among other things sounds rather silly unless it's some sort of forward guard (or whatever it is called in english).

Well of course it's a forward guard.. or it could be that either side (which ever spawn at the farm) was informed of possible enemies advancing to their position and had time to reinforce their defences against the incoming attacker.. that's a rather realistic explanation, don't you think? And the only REAL problem I see in the map is something I just don't like in general.. the time of day. It's dark as in santa clauses ass and I never seem to be able to see shit in maps like these in RnL.. and it annoyes the living hell out of me. But mapwise it's actually rather good as a first RnL map.. I couldn't do this shit, not in a million years. The best I came up with hammer while playing around for couple of days was a few trenches, hills, loads of trees and reinforced tank position. Great work snuffle, I look forward to getting my ass kicked in your map.

I though u were both just sarcastic

Maybe I'll reply better later, but I am not here to invest a lot of time in this map. This is the best I did in a short time. This map would be worth nothing in insurgency, but should provide some variety in the RnL scene. That is why I did it, not because I want people to masturbate playing it =).

I don't want to make the common custom map mistake. To huge. People will have to download and there will be less players playing it to begin with. Therefor and because it takes less time to make, it is smaller. Here it is, the time spent again .

Let's not forget I didn't even know how to make tele-pole-ropes, water, blended textures or doors when I started making this map. Making this map was an adventure of hammer, not an adventure in 40's france and wwii =).

What to remember. The thing most important in mind for me was a system of objectives that works "perfectly". In fact, it is better than the official maps! This is why my map is good. This is what I also could accomplish with the time I wanted to spend.

This explains some things abit more. Based on just overview it's hard to tell anything else than it's quite open, linear turkeyshot map that might be good once you actually play it.

It's true that it is beter to go with KISS policy than blow things out of proportion, but once again - just by the look of the overview - it's hard to make any proper scaling and even if you can make rough stab at it, it still does resemble somewhat smallish map as the only proper ingame screenshots are when the map was barely anything more than random pieces. Small is not a bad thing given there's good design behind it, unfortunately most of the small maps I've seen in almost any game are more of CoD shoeboxes where you can throw grenades from one spawn to another

Oh don't get me started about that. Ask Shepuz if in doubt.

How would I be in doubt? I know where I found my inspiration etc ^^
Everything that is made on the map is made intentionally and there is a perfect reason for everything .

Although I appreciate any feedback I get =).

I assume you have seen the screens from the official forums, but if you haven't here is a link! http://www.forum.resistanceandliberation.com/showthread.php?t=10613 (post 10)

I really don't hang around @ the official forums. I registered in last July and I've yet to recheive confirmation code\e-mail despite several PMs to mod developers and so on.
