MK1 0 Posted June 11, 2006 Well, here it is then, the public beta of East Cotentin Peninsula V0.1 BETA This is an early beta of my OFP map intended for public testing especially concerning lag issues in single and multiplayer games. At the moment the map includes only the town/village of Audouville-la-Hubert (not based on the real place), but I intend to expand the map into a miniature sized area of the Eastern Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy, France. The final map should cover the area from Utah beach to St. Mere Eglise and from Exit 2 to Exit 4. I'm not planning to make it fully historically accurate, but the major details should be there. The village in this map is pretty much complete. Some minor changes might happen but they shouldn't alter any positions of buildings or anything that big. Still I don't recommend making any missions with this yet. I left many of the buildings rather empty to reduce any extra lag, so it'll be up to the players to furnish them if they wish so. AI handles the town pretty nicely. They manage to move along the streets and also drive there, but sometimes they seem to perform quite hilarious actions when ordered to move to certain points. The middle part including the bridge seems to cause most confusion but I'm not sure if it's too big an issue. NOTE: You should use a low visibility value or strong fog to prevent any extra lag. After all, you're not going to need a long view distance in a village like this. FEATURES -> a small world war 2 era French village/town -> an enterable church -> a ruined castle with several hidden passages -> a bridge in the middle of the village -> several enterable buildings, including a hotel, restaurant & shop -> many hidden alleys, passages, doorways and backyards -> many excellent sniping positions for multiplayer or whatever Few screenshots: More screenshots here: 1 2 3 4 DOWNLOADS mk1_eastcot_beta.zip (372k) In addition to the archive contents it requires Linker Split's WWII Normandy Patch 2, which you can download here. I decided to release this a few days earlier than I first intended since the idea was to create a few missions for people to play around with but I'd rather have feedback on this first, so PLEASE people comment on the lag issues and other possible bugs as well. You don't need to report the bugs mentioned in the readme though. -mk1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MK1 0 Posted June 11, 2006 huh, just realised the archive was missing AWOL_Bridge1.pbo which contained the textures for the bridges. I added that file to the archive, same link works. So if anyone downloaded it prior to this, please download it again (or get that file from somewhere else). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

belgerot 33 Posted June 12, 2006 Great job on this map so far. I really like the placement of the buildings and objects, it gives it a very authentic feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaD_aI 0 Posted June 12, 2006 I just looked around in it for about five minutes and from what I saw it was awesome! I'll play around with it some more tommorow, I'm getting tired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HotShot 0 Posted June 12, 2006 It looks good, but I cant install the Linker Split Patch to run it, I get this error: Quote[/b] ]Estrazione di WWII UPGRADE n.2\Goes in the ADDON folder.rarCRC fallito per WWII UPGRADE n.2\Goes in the ADDON folder.rar Estrazione di WWII UPGRADE n.2\Goes in the RES-ADDONS Folder.rar CRC fallito per WWII UPGRADE n.2\Goes in the RES-ADDONS Folder.rar Estrazione di WWII UPGRADE n.2 Is there a non-Installer version to just move the pbos over, or any idea how to remedy it?

jarvo9 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Found alittle problem in Bar building... i fired two rounds at a bottle on top of the bar and the whole building collapsed, lol. I know u didn't make the building, but to say the least, i was surprised at the power of the 1893 lebel(IOF). Â I'm sure Linker Split is aware of that minor bug in his excellent model. The map is well done and i'm sure it would be a death trap for any enemy who dares try navigating through it's streets. It has many locations for well placed MG nests.
