Hey all,

I keep updating most the night lol. I don't realize the speed of this project only started 2-3 days ago.

Moving on. Heres the new Sky and a-bit of a feel of what the night map will include. Only for the hardcore FPS players I think. The map will be lite via lamps in the bunkers, lamps on the trenches and allies using tourches and a few flare guns .

Day map has a new sky but it's only 80% done. At the moment the trench system is near complete. Working on a new AA & AT gun. As-well as a flora shader to cover the top in patches of grass.
The beach has another cliff on the side added and the actual sand is undergoing a new re-texture. Normal mapping full works and also a test of a water shader is still in the pipeline.

Hopefully get a test match out early next week.

This very much reminds me of medal of honor allied assult, its a shame only a deathmatch version of multiplayer works. But i can see some real fun being had running around those bunkers.

did you make the FG? If you did why not an MG (maybe an MG 34 even)?

that is the mg 34. I acidently imported the wrong model as MG24 is more bulky and has a huge camber and vent holes on the sides, plus its a square like structure.

Problem is tho i still havn't grasped the importing weapons concept. Plus i would love hands on my weapons but no good at animation lol.

Everything, well near enough everything you "will" see in this game is made by myself.

Great! But if your going to do this game, then I suggest night time for the level. Day time would be all wrong without a bloom effect. Just advice.

Way ahead of you ASTEK It's a night map

Heres some Pre-Vis (mockup) renders of the layout of the map. Enjoy







Remember its pre-vis. Not ingame. Just a layout model.

EDIT-Btw forgot to add this is the Singleplayer layout. Mutiplayer will split this map in two. (The beach and Cliff top) & (Coastal guns and HQ)

3ds Max 8. Running two of them at the same time. I set out the landscape. Then in first running programe kept that as the main and second running 3ds max to build the sandbags, guns, ect. Then import into the main. Could also do Xrefs but it's a low poly map so i'm able to add and move bits arround without hideing any high poly objects.

This is a No segment FPS game I wonder if i'm the first

new bunker is 529 polys. With the coastal gun its 628. I'm creating a small Preview Demo map for MP with FPS dx9. I'm awaiting FPS 10 to come out for full game

A-lot fo the game objects are done now. Just rounding off a good clean version of the MP beach landings map.

Uhm not trying to spoil your whole idea or such...

But can that level even fit into FPSC?
I mean FPSC isnt very big...
it is 40x40 (segments)
In 3ds max 1 segment is: 100x100 (box).
So the whole level would be: 4000x4000(?).
But then again, it would be possible if you putted
just a tiny bit out of the level...and that means the whole
model would dissapear...
So i would go for: 3900x3900.

I already made my own desert\dune type of landscape
and into my surprise it wasnt that big as i thought
it would be.

I've rescaled everything in fps to allow a much bigger size for the level. at the moment everything is 50% smaller then normal FPS size. Even characters. I may rescale again, but for now 50% smaller is doing fine. Just abit tricky placing it all as it isnt very big in FPS editor lol.

Um if it's an entity that dynamic entities will fall through it however you could make it a segment? BTW with X10 you could have swarms of Allys and enemies all killing each other and being blown up yay!

Cheers for the comments guys.

@Slayer222 - I've made everything an object the terrain is of course static and the rest dynamic, i have yet to experiance any dynamic objects falling through the static landscape.

Hehe i know. I'm going to make sure having waves of allies run up that beach into MG42/MG34 fire

Havnt had that problem yet, everything seems to be set fine. My collision mesh's are polygon instead of square or sub poly.

many have tried and failed at D-day style levels, including myself, this looks superb, i got pretty close tbh but i quit and gave in lol, well done on a superb looking d-day level

my main issue was the frame rate, i tried to create it so that there was lots going on around the player, like random explosions, and tried to make up for the lack of characters in the level by making the characters die frequently and respawn new players in their place at the bottom of the beach. Also i tried to make up for the machine gun fire by just using 3 enemies who rapidly fired none stop, long range rounds at the player. But despite cutting many corners and getting a decent effect the frame rate still suffered.

so congratulations on overcoming this =D

EDIT

Also, i don't believe there is a functional script for a stationary weapon however, my theory was that you could use a weapon that could only be fired when the player is standing still, or that you couldn't walk when holding, this is feasible however i never got as far as working out a script to do it, but that is your best bet i believe

I've started to look into FPSX10 for the actual level as i do understand getting the d-day beach feel is dam hard. As 100's of soldiers would be running up the beach along with your self being mowed down by german mg fire. A-lot of explosions and sound effects, screams, gun fire and bullets hitting the sand.

I think atm FPS cant handel it. Although the MG fire atm is just a huge decal on an angle. Hopefully i'll have better options with FPSx10.

I mite be looking for another artist to join me soon, as a-lot of environment based work needs to be worked on. Also someone with weapon animating/scripting skills would be a plus

Why do you need a hundred when you can have 6 and enter lag hell?
Actually you really don't need a hundred though you could have the beach blocked off. And have random decals happening on the beach. But saying that you will be in a lag frenzy.

Well hundred was a slight exaderation. Arround 10-20 but that would be single player, mp would be a max of 10-15 players on each team. I have a friend who worked on COD2 and said that alot of the men in the background of the D-day beach landing level were 2d decals just animated which is a good way to look at it. Altough first i'll be doing some tests on lag ect for MP before releasing a alpha map. To make sure you guys get the best experiance i can offer.

Uh uh 10-20 you'll need like 40 to make it realistic 10 enemies manning MGs, and sniper rifles and 30 allies to be mowed down with only like 5 making it up the beach. Luckily X10 can handle 50 in one room and if an X10 MP level is designed on normal FPSC and built in X10 it works on vista and XP!
