[BETA] Grave's Bridge (8 players)

[empa]

Hi there!

Here my second project, after learn some things when im making my first map i move to create a more serious map and much bigger. There is Grave's Bridge, a 8 players map based in a country road near Grave village, in south Holland, in the first day of the operation Market Garden where the 82nd Airborne division capture the bridge over the Maas river, the gateway to Grave and Nijmegen.

Is not a extremelly realistic recreation and of course, is not a turtleling map. I try my best, with my limited knowledge in this moment.

- i read in some place the action markers dont work with 2.300 and up OF but im not sure if is correct, i wish to put some smoke effects but i dont know if its possible and dont know how to...

hey, action markers only work with patch 1.71. It`s a bit of a pain in the ass, I have 2 coh installs, one with 1.71 where I start my maps with, put all the action markers in and then continue with latest wb.

for blocking houses to not be able to use the fallschirmjägers, guess thats not possible, cause its a function of the game, all you can do is remove the buildings or set them to destroyed I guess.

you mean u make the maps first with 1.71 versión, and when u make all ur wanted action markers, export the work to the latest versión? if i understood correctly i must say OMG!

thy for expenc ur time in me :P

umm edit: one more thing dude, how i set a "destroyed" building? i tried with edit state, and set building damage and sethealth, but i dont see nothing special... any idea?

[Henry666]

exactly, I plan a map, add tons of action markers to the empty version, save it with 1.71 and then continue to work with 2.x ...

for making a building look destroyed or completly unuseable you have to click the building > edit state > building damage > double click on sphere (appears as a white bar sometimes) and then you have a blue ball inside the building that you can move. move it to the position where you want the damage or make it bigger to completly destroy the building, you can also use multiple spheres on one building.

Thx again for expend ur time in me!
