[WIP] D-Day Coop (3p) Beta

[Henry666]

Hey there,

here`s a small preview of what I am working on right now, D-Day Coop map for 3 Players. I made the map, script done by Mannerheim.

In this map you play as Axis and defend against the invading Allied forces. The Allied forces
will always be controlled by heavily scripted AI so you can only play as Axis (with friends/AI).
During the gameplay you will also get several objectives (10-15) to compelete like escort,
kill or defend someone/something.

The thing in this map is that you cant really win, each minute the Allied forces will get
a bit stronger and start using better units and tactics against you so eventually you will
be destroyed. At the end a team rating will be calculated using stats like: time survived,
units killed, units lost, missions completed. Even though you cant win it's fun to play the
map several times and learn new tactics against the AI and try to get better team rating.

The AI has only one difficulty level so the rating can be equally compared with other players.
Even if you are not good against the normal skirmish AI you should be able to enjoy the map.

So this is a bit like the Battle of the Alamo Mod for good old Act of War.

This Map is really nice!!

A question: how can I play this map with the cheatmod? I have put the file to c:\Users\user\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\WW2\Scenarios but is it not shown in the cheatmod

[Henry666]

is it shown in vanilla coh ?

[Unimatrix]

yes, in vanilla it is available

[Henry666]

Then the cheat mod doesn`t support sga files.

[BuckyBoy]

Great stuff Henry!!.. I'll save this for when i get my new comp (hopefully next week :))

[BuckyBoy]

....btw if you unpack the sga, it works in Cheat Mod also. ;)

[BuckyBoy]

Henry, shall i host the file here also?.. and is the real version (non-beta) coming too?

[Henry666]

no not nescessary, I will upload the final as soon as it comes out :) (soon)

[BuckyBoy]

ok i thought that you might wanted to see a download counter perhaps. :D
They're downloading your stuff from my site pretty heavy nowadays... 10 GB / day! Anyways my hosting package is also upgraded (for free :)) so it's no real problem. My site can handle 3600 GB per month now..

[Henry666]

wow thats a load of traffic :) good you can handle it :) will see the downloads for the final then :)

[essinians]

im really confused as to where to load this mod and how to play any help would be appreciated

[BuckyBoy]

copy the .sga to My Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\WW2\Scenarios

[essinians]

then wut do i do?

[BuckyBoy]

play! :-)

[essinians]

i must be missing something where do u play it at? does it need something special like -dev?

[BuckyBoy]

nope. just play in regular CoH. :)

[essinians]

if its suppose to be in the skirmish map list its not there and if it helps any it says my computer dosent reconize the file

[BuckyBoy]

you don't see this in your map list?.. you sure?


if not, verify that the .sga is in the right folder. and don't start with -dev!

[essinians]

im posotive. its not there. i dint put in the -dev and its in the scenarios folder

[Henry666]

the final will be out soon and comes with an installer, so you don`?t have to find the correct folder on your own.

If you copied the sga to thew correct folder and it doesn`t show up in the map list you might have not applied the latest patch ?

[essinians]

as far as i know i have all the patches

[BuckyBoy]

If you can play online, you have all the patches. :)

[essinians]

so when does the final one come out? or is it a need to know basis?

[Henry666]

very soon :) ...

[essinians]

sounds good :)
