Hi guys, after a few years of silence I would like to get back to mapping. I have a few ideas the playing community is welcome to give their thoughts. I want to modify the vanilla maps in a neat way. I would like to keep a small part of the familiar landscape and objectives but have large paths blocked while new paths open to lead to new landscpape. This would give players a familiar feeling with the map but also allow the player to now explore the area not visible in the vanilla maps. Such a map would play nicely before or after the original map. I have nice ideas for fueldump or goldrush. Which of those would you like to see shing in new glory? I was thinking of keeping tge first part of fueldump alive (until the tank blows the tunnel gate), then the old tunnel path is collapsed and now leads to some new landscpape instead (of course with new objectives). Given that only a portion needs a thorough redone, it woukd be a reasonable effort. Or do you guys like more to see behind the scenes of goldrush?

Best!

I like your thoughts on fueldump. I‘m going to make two new versions of fueldump, one where the second part stays intact with stealing tank stuff and one where the first part stays intact. I will actually start with fueldump since teuthonia is already pretty goldrush sftylish. And I am still a bit fed up with mapping african landscape....

I have a fueldump_reverse map now almost playable. Allies have to steal a tank in the fueldump fortress and need to escort it back. I gave the axis a new path to increase gameplay when the allies escort the truck back. There are a few last script issues to do, and the terrain needs some blending. Then a few changes in the arena file and the thing is ready for a first test. I assume we are talking about 2 weeks from now. Overall, a smooth project since the brushwork already exists. I will also give the allies a third way from the 2nd spawn (the original spawn 1) to the bridge. I think those who like fueldump will also like fueldump_reverse.

Sounds great!
For future projects:
I would Like to see more axis attack Maps

Thanks guys.since the brushworkk is already there, it‘s mainly the scrpting, which is quite fast. The new paths ( there are two new ones including a quite large tunnel from the allies original spawn 1 to the gate near the bridge) is eating most of the time. All objectives work. The tank is now where the fueldump was. The fueldump gate is originally 2 stage, now 1 stage (othwise allies would never be able to steal the tank. Depotgate and rear depot entrance are dynamitable. I also included a new path for axis, going from the fueldump fortress into the tank tunnel. Tunnelgate is destroyed by the tank, obviously now coming from the other side. I think the map will be liked. We need intense testing to see where the gameplay needs optimization. The tank path within the fueldump fortress is not minable. We can change this as needed later.
I like those re-routing projects since they are fast and don‘t require much brushwork. I also like to let the playing community decide what they want to see. Please think about which existing (ideally custom) map you would like to see changed (and how). I could with reasonable effort give you a few new maps reasonably fast.

Cheers

I will take a look at the map after the release of fueldump_reverse, ok? Do you have the map file or do I need to decompile? The decompiling sometimes messes up entity names. But those can also be corrected by looking into the script

fueldump_reverse_b1 is ready for being tested. I send the pk3 to kate from ETS Clan for testing. I don't mind to make the beta fully public. please send feedback toteuthis@gmx.de
