omgs one week without internets and all of a sudden the cat is out of the bag

-
Ohh I spent my 1500th post on praising your level? Good choice:)
-
very nice though i have to go along with the destruction often not interacting with the textured elements of walls.

That Cathedral looks incredible.
Is it in the 3d skybox, or is it actually in the map?

Exactly what I was thinking ! The view behind the bridge is so impresive ! I really want to see more and to play it ! (Fortunatly I own Dods !
)Ps: The Cathedral seems to be part of the map thought !

*wondering why hessi doesn't reply*
Yea it's a mesh/part of the map.
-
i couldnt access the forums since either the host or my provider fucked up :ssj:
well the church and the other side of the river are parts of the skybox. creating a seemless transition between church and game world was quite a bit tricky. since there were sorting and lighting problems on the displacement meshes. actually they are still present but i tried to hide them as good as possible.
got to make some changes to a door model since it blocks people when trying to run smoothly through. then there might be some closed testing phase and hopefully a release soon

-
Looks nice as always, do we need a DVD to store this map?

-
ok fellas,
tomorrow around 8 pm (GMT +1) there will be a closed playtest of dod_kolsch. if someone is interested and there are still slots avaible i could hand out a "preview version" of the level to separate individuals. if the playtest doesnt bring any bigger flaws to daylight a final release is in near future.

those who are interested in joining the test should drop me a PM or add me in steams friends network. i am in the mapcore steam group so you can find out my account data

Looks great but the only slight worry I have is the name. If its not an amazingly simplistic name people tend to have struggle naming it and then bizarrely playtime goes down the spout.
-
im not working, id love to get in on it. maybe ill stick dod on my laptop, it runs like crap on my pc

-
Looks so damn good!
PS: is that church made out of brushes?!



-
I love how this level actually looks like a european/german city and not some fictional fantasy world like the rest of dod source
Very well done! -
Damn, I missed the playtest. What happend? Are you close to release?
-
thanks for the nice comments, klein and all the others.
a release is coming closer. i have some exams at university tomorrow and on friday. after that i have the time to pollish the last few things. so a release in february is very realistic.
-
Clearly a(nother) spotlight. Hopefully I'll be able to escape from work for long enough to actually have a go at playing this with you sometime Hessi.
-
wow freakin hot. I totally want DoD:S now.
-
release will be on 27th feb at 21:30 GMT+1 (german time zone). on http://www.thomashess.net i will create a download page for dod_kolsch with bit torrent and direct download + server adresses with servers that run dod_kolsch. also i added some content of dod_kolsch to my website:
