[WIP] DoD_Nightingale

[RA7]

Very nice, good work.

[FrieChamp]

That looks superb, beautiful job man! Hope you will finish it soon!

I love this map! This is what a DoD:S should look like!

Here's one thing I saw though. I know it's WIP, but still, you might not have noticed it..?

The map is becoming more and more polished. I really like the feel of it. One of the things that looks odd though is the gravestone in the wheat field. I don't think people would be growing crops on a graveyard.

A good addition might be a windmill. Because there is a lot of wheat in the map, it would fit in quite well.

Also, I would like to see some areas that lead off into the distance. At the moment, there's no sense of there being a world beyond the playable area. A few super extended airy eye candy sections, like those found in dod_jagged (the rolling hills, phone poles, trees, roads and houses), or cs_militia (river, barn, trees, and mountains) would look real nice.

Hey there,

thanks for your last comments, useful stuff!

Heh Spine, thanks for being able to use your textures - really excellent material to work with. Seriously!

The Turret issue has been solved kind of .

Okay um... I don't know if this already fits into the "Finished Work" section? Anyways, I have a first beta version of Nightingale ready for testing & joy. ^^

There's still a lot of work to do, but in order to change most of the still-to-do-stuff I'll need much input from players & playtesters. But yeah, that's what a beta is there for, right?

Note to all HDR-users: the HDR function has been demolished in DoD:S for me, so I couldn't build the cubemaps correctly in HDR mode. They'll only be available in LDR, so please make sure to run the "buildcubemap" command if you play it in HDR mode.

EDIT:

Might be best to run the map without HDR, since you'll probably get a version conflict in multiplayer games if you have the cubemaps built on your own. Beta 2 will have full HDR support though - maybe better wait for that one, then .

Awesome stuff. I love the strong vibrant colors and the overall richness of the environment!

Ever thought of calling it dod_Nachtigall?

[t-lk | metal-simon]

The hottest DoD-Map i ever seen!

Very good work, dude! :wink:

[JeanPaul]

I cant wait to go prone in those plants

[Albatros]

@MrBaracuda:

Hehe, in fact I called all the work versions Nachtigall.

The problem is... to reach international players, you need international map names .

Anyway, the second beta will be done in one week from now - with full HDR support, that is .

Cheers & thanks for the feedback!

You have probably no idea how refreshing that sounded to me.

I feel like when you update, nothing gets changed, RELEASE ALREADY!
