Thread: (2-4) Crossing in the woods12 Nov 2013, 21:19 PM How to install/play custom maps in CoH2 (2-4) Crossing in the woods Working my way through the new worldbuilder i started with a revamp of my old map "bois du chatelet". Turned out to be a bit different than the original, but so what Feedback, especially regarding balance and bugs is greatly appreciated.

Thread: How to: Set up a CoH2 multiplayer map12 Nov 2013, 19:27 PM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2013, 19:15 PMSeb Just a note, because I didn't get it in the first place, the advice of playable - 64 to make the core is both sides included, this is why you drag your line at 1st level of grid 32 and not 2nd, for some reason I was a bit confused until I thought about it. I thought i said that in the tutorial. Sorry for confusing you =) Another note would be to make sure people don't include or look for "test build" in their path to save the map. I thought i added a youtube notification overlay with the correct path excluding test build?! Wasn't it visible for you? Last but not least, it would be nice to include a screenshot of how the map you created actually looks in the game at the end, not only to hype it up a bit, but also to give people an additional way to check if they did it right. Yeah maybe. Well, its just a plain map with nothing on it but the 4 sectors. I thought it wasn#t necessary in this tutorial, because its only explaining the steps until you can save. But i'll maybe add one, when i get the time =) In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: Turning Point Update patch notes12 Nov 2013, 10:01 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2013, 09:56 AMtuvok Oh yeah, I'm sure they need a lot of coders/artists to tweak a few bits for the balance changes and activate some commanders/units that have always been in the game. Such a titanic amount of work. They can make all the DLCs they want but the moment you decide to have a model where dlc users play vs non-dlc users all the competitive sides of it collapses in my eyes and you realize it's just another fancy way to milk people. You didn't get it. I didn't mean to say the DLC is expansive, but the graphics engine, textures, etc. They payed for the graphics upfront, which is a huge investment. This means there are not enough resources left to provide a good postgame support from what you earn with initial sales. If you still want it, they have to make the money with DLC. It doesn't matter when you earn or spent the money. The net amount is what matters. And don't get me wrong. I already stated in the initial post that you quoted, that i don't like that DLC has influence on multiplayer play. I rather would like them to earn their DLC money from singleplayer content.

Thread: Turning Point Update patch notes12 Nov 2013, 08:04 AM Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2013, 04:23 AMtuvok orly? so how have I been paying for all the games I played for years like Quake 3, Unreal Tournamente series, which had packs and packs of free maps mods and patches, all for free? They must have gone bankrupt! Games have become much more expansive over time. Especially because the graphics have improved massively. High quality graphics engines are very expansive. But thats not even the end, everything has to be produced in high resolution. Creating HD textures, all the maps for them (normal, spec, gloss, etc.), it's just a massive investment, which wasn't necessary previously, where you could concentrate on the core stuff... Also, Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament etc. are special in this regard. They have primarily been demonstration platforms for their graphics engines. The main money was made by selling that engine to other companies. Just look at the number of AAA games being produced nowdays, compared to the past. It's just not worth it anymore for most companies. And if they do, they have to make it worth it by creating the same game for all platforms (including consoles). CoH2 doesn't have anything like this, so they have to finance the after game support by DLC In: News
