Thread: Map concept.18 Dec 2013, 17:18 PM Here is a basic concept for a 1v1 map Im starting to make. It is a partisan camp deep in the woods, with a main german supply route running along one side. The idea is that most of the munitions are set off to the center left, where there is quite a lot of trees. While only a fuel is located on the right with the road, which itself has 2 VPs on it. The idea is that both sides will want to control the camp itself for the resources, but you should not ignore the right which has fuel and 2 VPs. The road features an ambushed German convoy, I have not decided what to put in the center right yet. I would really appreciate any input before I do too much work to it. In: Mapping Discussion

Thread: T-34 Ram Facts18 Dec 2013, 14:40 PM It would be wrong if every ram was fully sucessful. Too powerful for a cheap tank. So to make it balanced, it needs to have a chance of failing, which makes it more risky to use, and more situational or desperate. But against something really heavy like a Tiger, to know for sure your going to take it out, your going to need 2-3 T34.. which is of a similar price. Even better, you might get lucky with the 1st ram. In: Red Army Strategies

I would imagine, it extracts the stock maps, to your steamapps/common/companyofheroes2/coh2/data/scenarios/mp folder...but i havent tried. Im having trouble with #4 as well, when I run Archive with that command line, nothing seems to happen and nothing has been put into COH2\Data In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Sector layout and hills.18 Dec 2013, 01:10 AM Quite like the concept with the hill, but not keen on the spider design, would work better with more standardly placed sectors leading to the hill. Also looks like it might have too many sectors, Onkle's tutorial recommends 10 strat points along with the 2 fuel, 2 muni. In: Modding and Tools

Thread: Phantom Germans.17 Dec 2013, 20:24 PM Ive been exploring all the models available in the WB, and after spawning a couple of german 250 HTs, there is a bunch of german soldiers on the map that cannot select, move or delete. I deleted the HTs, but the stubborn krauts wont leave Only problem is Ive saved over my backup, so cant go back to an earlier save. Anyone know how to send them packing? In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Watchtower.17 Dec 2013, 17:05 PM Thanks a lot for the quick reply. That clears it up. So playing on the safe side, if you do place a watch tower, have it as an extra sector. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: How to: Create a map layout and draw sectors17 Dec 2013, 17:02 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Nov 2013, 07:44 AMQvazar Hm, it seems I can only get the "see lines through territory colors" intensity trick to work on some maps. It's really annoying when it's not possible to see them Edit: Aha, it also depends a lot on the texture you have on your map! With dirt_base it was impossible, but with dirt_muddy_wet it is VERY easy to see the splines! What helped me here was doing it roughly with the overlay OFF and just following the splines, then going back to tidy it up flicking the overlay on and off. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Watchtower.17 Dec 2013, 16:51 PM If I want to place a watch tower, should that be used instead of a normal strat point within a sector? i.e. I will now have 9 strat points, and a watch tower, instead of 10 normal point? Will the economy function the same as if I just had 10 strat points as normal. Thanks In: Mapping Discussion
