Thread: Company of Heroes 2 Custom Map Matchmaking Steamgroup25 Nov 2013, 06:49 AM Hi Everyone! I have created a public steamgroup for the purpose of matchmaking with custom maps. Just join the group, and any members who are online will be visible in the new in-game CoH2 public chatbox in the chatroom of the same name. Link to the SteamGroup: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/coh2custommaps I hope this helps people connect with others who want to enjoy community content as a community. Cheers! MWT In: Lobby
Thread: MAP: 1v1 - Commune22525 Nov 2013, 05:12 AM Bumping in the hope that people will take a look at and join the steam community group for this map so that they can make custom games with other players who also enjoy it. Here is the link: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/commune225 Thanks again, everyone. In: Map Sharing
Thread: MAP: 1v1 - Commune22525 Nov 2013, 01:35 AM @VonIvan: Thank you, Ivan. Not a vCoH vet myself, so the comparison means less to me than it might to a lot of others. Regardless I am glad you like it. Jump back to quoted post25 Nov 2013, 00:07 AMVon Kluge Very nice map, when I was playing, I suddenly had a bugsplat. Might be my hardware tough @VonKulge Hmmm. I haven't had any bugsplats. Not yet. Did you get it more than once? In: Map Sharing

Music issue should be solved. Thank you for your feedback. It is very appreciated. Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2013, 22:18 PMZ3r07 good job! @Z3r07: Thank you! In: Map Sharing
Thread: MAP: 1v1 - Commune22524 Nov 2013, 22:12 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Nov 2013, 18:45 PMLutzow Hey it seems a very nice and detailed map, but please make it (at least) 2v2! I would love to make a 4p version in the future. Unfortunately it will require a significant redesign of the corner regions because the bases were originally designed for 1 player. I will look into it, though. I think it is a good idea And I appreciate the feedback. In: Map Sharing
Thread: MAP: 1v1 - Commune22524 Nov 2013, 00:43 AM UPDATE v1.5: Fixed Church Walls, Muni Locations, Pathing in certain locations, Building balance, and Outer VP balance.* UPDATE v1.51: Fixed broken strategic point, removed small shacks near farm/railyard, paired town square buildings so that one side does not have more firing windows than the other* Future changes: one building from the bottom right farm and the trainstation will be removed, opening up the flanks more. Broken fence sightbocking fix. Further retreat-pathing friendliness refining. Hi everyone. MileWideThigh here. Just finished up my first map for CoH2, presenting it here for you. Type: 1v1 Name: COMMUNE225 Backstory: A major storm will soon hit the region as winter begins in earnest. It is crucial that the town, its rail station, and the surrounding communes be taken before this happens. Failing to achieve victory will make reinforcement and resupply nearly impossible in the coming weeks. Here is the tac-map (Unfortunately I do not have the time right now to make a really nice one like our (proskills) friend OnkelSam makes): Link to the image (easier to see territory boundaries) http://imgur.com/Y6waNk3 Here is the link to some screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/NSCVJ#0 Video Demo: http://www.twitch.tv/milewidethigh/c/3300804 Here is the up-to-date link to google drive where you can get the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7eHTGCNu1fDazBKSmxnT2gwQ0E/edit?usp=sharing (Click file/download - or Ctrl+s -to download the .rar package) 2v2 Version Available Here: http://www.coh2.org/topic/11285/map-2v2-commune-225 Steam Community Group (for custom matchmaking): http://steamcommunity.com/groups/commune225 Feel free to join this steam group so that you can easily arrange custom games with other people who have this map! As I release new maps I will continue to create steam groups for them so that people can enjoy their custom content as a community. It would be nice if this method caught on, so tell your friends! Description: This is a 1v1 map which features open flanks and a small town in the center. The edges, obviously, favor vehicles, while the center gives an advantage to infantry. The high resource points are in the corners, and the strategic point layout, which I think is quite balanced, can create some aggressive cutoffs. You can get a sense of the arrangement in the first screen I have provided in the album. So far I have had a few really great games on this map and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. To install, follow the same instructions as any other map. Cheers! MWT Edit: Feedback is of course welcome. I have tried to design this map so that it is very competitive, but since I can only play test so much on my own I invite anyone to share their opinions here. Thanks again. Edit2: I have reuploaded the .rar to google drive because in the original I accidentally duplicated one of the files. My apologies. The new link is accurate Edit3: Updated post with OnkelSam's excellent advice. Thank you! Edit4: Music bug fixed (or at least it was on my end, be sure to let me know if it persists for you).

Thread: Fog Of War Bug23 Nov 2013, 21:40 PM Does anyone know why this is happening? http://imgur.com/CTZqw9X It is driving me crazy. I was going to upload this baby today, and the fog problem just kills it. EDIT: Ignore this thread, I figured out what my mistake was. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Map-making tutorial index14 Nov 2013, 20:11 PM Reposted here because it made more sense: "Great video series! One question though: How can I import an image into the world builder to use as a template while I place the map components? I saw this done in Relic's worldbuilder video (at approximately 1:02). There is also a blog post which mentions the technique (http://www.snakebytestudios.com/tag/company-of-heroes/) But I cannot find any actual instructions. To be clear, I know how to import heightmaps. What I'm referring to here is the ability to import an image as a stamp to use as a guide. Thanks again for the great video series. Looking forward to future editions!" In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Worldbuilder: The Spline Tool in Detail14 Nov 2013, 17:47 PM Great video series! One question, though. How can I import an image into the map to use as a template as I build the map layout? I saw this done in relic's worldbuilder video (approximately 1:02). There is also a blog post which mentions the technique (http://www.snakebytestudios.com/tag/company-of-heroes/) But I cannot find any actual instructions. To be clear, I know how to import heightmaps. What I'm referring to here is the ability to import a large image (kindof like a really big ground texture) to use as a template. Thanks again for the great video series. Looking forward to future editions! In: Guides
