Sorry lots of updates going on, maps with scripts are incredibly hard to test because they act completely different when human players are playing instead of AI. lol

UPDATES,

- Tweaked cover across map.
- Scout planes now fly every 30 seconds.
- Added Bombing runs random locations every 60 seconds.
- AI/Inactive players now will run to center of map to be killed by airstrikes.

Remember all PLAYER SLOTS must be occupied with either HUMAN or AI. Otherwise map will not load. There are scripts assigned to every player that are needed.

Please comment on any bugs or crashes (if crash, when did it happen on timer)

THANKS!!!

Very cool! You really make quite some innovative, "avantgarde" maps Shadowphreak!
Keep on mapping m8, i see you're maps getting nicer and nicer! :)

Thanks Cpt. Jack! :) I have so many more ideas/maps coming... stay tuned.

My favorite part of your content is how you are always in the comments putting out the updates/changes, especially the tips.

I always appreciate it because the type of maps you make are very tricky to get right with lots of custom elements to them and any help setting up the map to play on is always welcome.

You are most definitely a very high quality content creator Shadow. :COH3US: Please keep up the awesome work we are out here to play it! :steamhappy:

Sounds good, I'll keep an eye out!

GeeNo. Thank you so much for comments. It's really hard to test this type of map with humans instead of AI as scripts sometimes do different things.

I did however test the scout planes, and they do show snipers visible, but only on the mini-map at the bottom left corner, I didn't know they dont show in game. I'll look into this.

I'm hoping to have a fix for player count this week, so you can simply close other slots for 1v1 2v2 etc... :)

The AI rushing to center is just be default. Once I fix the above issue with slots, I wont really need it I believe...

Oh forgot to add, a 1v1 mode would be cool, for those of us without 7 others to play with. And an option at game setup to select the number of snipers we'd want for each player.

I gave this map a shot and wanted to give you some feedback.

First things first, fun idea for map, fun and casual things like this are only good for the game.

To discourage camping it might be a good idea to include one or two VP's or points that give advantages, like increasing the rate at which you get recon passes. Something similar to Shogun 2's multiplayer buildings that gave your side passives.

The recon planes to discourage camping aren't a bad idea, but don't actually work as in my testing vs AI they don't actually reveal cloaked snipers. Hope there's an ability you can find or bug to iron out that fixes this, otherwise you may need to go back to the drawing board on ways to prevent camping.

For Wehr vs. US, the US sniper seems to have a slight edge due to it's Vet 1 ability being more useful here.

The AI seem to enjoy just rushing the same spot over and over again.

Otherwise this is a cool idea for a map, and if you iron it out a bit more should be a lot of fun!

Fixed a desyncing issue that was occuring for some reason during the atmosphere changing, so I disabled the weather change for now.

Remember - Snipers dont shoot while running. So avoid long sprints... lol
Shadowphreak  [author] 24 Sep, 2023 @ 6:57am 
TIPS,
- Always use cover. Once a sniper is has cover, they are stealth.
- Hold fire active. That way you can wait for best moment.
- Careful when crossing roads, there is no cover.
- Camping in one spot won't help you. Random scout planes fly over town throughout match.
- Currently there is a script to run after 1 min for AI players to attack on their own.
- What team you pick and level you chose at game setup doesn't matter. Team 1 is always american, team 2 is always german. Scripts override anything you chose.
- Keep your finger on the R key, retreat is sometimes your best option.

UPDATES,
- Visual tweaking throughout.
- Teams start with 2 snipers each now. Makes battles more interesting... :)

Trying something different here. Let me know your thoughts and any suggestions... :)
