Thread: Hosting a map linked to an asset pack, downloads won't start26 Oct 2015, 16:40 PM Hosting a game with a map that is linked to an asset pack doesn't work properly. The Workshop download takes a good while before even starting. Sometimes the download doesn't begin at all. I've waited good 5 minutes without seeing any progress. Sometimes the download gets bugged and the download indicator flashes at 0%. This is the map in question: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=541640992 In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: [Beta] Randomly Generated Map22 Oct 2015, 10:47 AM Update: Added 6 new tiles (5 hedgerows and 1 grove) Base sectors are now surrounded by grove tiles Center line of the map is now populated with hedgerow tiles As a result of this, building tiles are quite rare, and they are forced to spawn in at least 2 locations Added some hardcoded grass The map looks quite different now and it's certainly not as open as it used to be. Let me know what you think guys! In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: [Beta] Randomly Generated Map18 Oct 2015, 15:14 PM Implemented random atmosphere presets based on Workshop feedback. The map atmosphere setting is randomly chosen from the 6 (currently) available presets: Autumn Summer Morning Midday Night Rain In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: [Beta] Randomly Generated Map17 Oct 2015, 23:19 PM Seemingly endless warrens, fields and groves weave and envelop the farmsteads in this region. With every encounter, each battlefield seems to be completely different, making preparation increasingly difficult for the commanders who fight here. Use your wits and audacity to make this battlefied your own. Each battle will be spawned in a completely unique way, and no battlefield will ever be the same. Adapt to your surroundings, or face defeat. Workshop Page Backstory & The Concept I've been playing around with this concept for a long time. I developed the first prototypes during COH1 and the approach pretty much stayed the same, until now. With the help of our very own Master Mapmaker MonolithicBacon, I've managed to take this concept to the next level & possibly create something unique and interesting. Some time ago Asset packs were released as the continuing modding support for COH2. The interesting part about asset packs is that they can contain stamp files. Basically, stamp files are chunks of actual maps (like Angoville, Faymonville Approach, etc.). A good example of stamp usage is US and UK Forces bases. Every time a US/UK Forces base is spawned, a stamp is applied to the map. The way the randomly generated map works: The map contains a predefined territory sector layout and a generic base texture Softborder area is randomly filled with pines, bushes, branches, and plants The remaining area of the map is populated with 16x16 "tiles", randomly At the moment, there are 4 kinds of tiles: Generic tiles Tiles with buildings Tiles designed for base sector (no objects obstructing building placement) Territory sector tiles (no cover-providing objects in the capturing circle) Most of the map is just randomly filled with generic and/or tiles with buildings. Each tile is also randomly rotated either 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Building tile spawning is not limited at the moment, which may result in unbalanced maps. This will be sorted out in the future. The map atmosphere setting is randomly chosen from the 6 (currently) available presets: Autumn Summer Morning Midday Night Rain Goals Randomly generate a map to increase replay value Maintain both balance and variety at the same time Maintain high artistical/graphical quality Maintain compatability with other mods Possibly see a randomly generated map being used as a tournament map one day Known Issues At the moment, several features are not carried over with stamps from WorldBuilder to in-game: Grass Water Terrain height Object Splines I'm hoping to see these issues being fixed at some point in the future. Example results The map plays exactly like a regular map. Ambient buildings are marked on the minimap and even an AI Player knows what to do. Example screenshots of randomly generated map: Example screenshots of randomly selected atmosphere setting: Future Documentation How to create your own tiles How to create your own randomly generated maps Limited spawning of tiles with buildings to ensure balanced maps Winter tiles More tiles with hedgerows and dense groves More base sector tiles More territory sector tiles Possibly, once Relic has fixed the issues/implemented the missing support: Tiles with water Workshop Page In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: British Teching Bug2 Oct 2015, 20:42 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Oct 2015, 20:21 PMSpaceBus If you could post a replay that it has happened to you in that would help me look into it. I've tried a few times doing what you described and haven't been able to reproduce it. Starting the British T2 upgrade during the first frozen seconds of a match results the T2 building never self-constructing while the upgrade itself keeps progressing. Not sure if you guys can simulate that though. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Community effort to create native language option30 Sep 2015, 18:16 PM Jump back to quoted post30 Sep 2015, 18:08 PMKyle_RE There is something that we would be open to getting community support with however. If the community is interested in focusing their energy on making some Theatre of War packs that we could add to our TOW section in the game, this is something we could see happening in the future. USF or UKF TOW packs anyone? Now that's something! In: COH2 Gameplay
