Thx for the suggestion, gonna edit my AI plans right now or completely redo them.
-
That footage was recorded a few days ago, before i edited the map again, i made a separate post to get a answer. User M1 Garand suggested that i might have those strange issues regarding A.I plans, i might just remove those plans or adjust them to see if this is is giving me these problems.

I recorded the Omaha Beach map to give people a idea how it looks!
Btw, the link in this thread to the file is broken
-
So i am editing my Saving Private Ryan campaign first mission, Omaha Beach, in the editor everything looks fine, everything is in place. But when i play the mission, some trenches, bunkers, barbwire,etc is placed somewhere else, and every time i start the mission again, the objects appear somewhere else on the map... What can cause this?? :confused:
-
Info:
*Updated to patch 1.10 and uploaded in the correct game category seeing it still is not placed in the correct category*
-
So i updated the map again, added some more trenches/German troops, elevated the terrain a bit here and there, it looked great in the editor, but when i play the mission, every time i start, all the trenches, bunkers and more stuff get displaced all over the map, and never on the same place. What the heck is going on??:confused:

Some screenshots from the third mission of the German campaign from the Commonwealth module:
King Tiger (seen far left) destroyed every vehicle that passed him, 3 tanks and one truck, eventually they only managed to immobilize my King Tiger.
Tank destroyer and a Panther took down the rest of the column

Hmm, is the new updated campaign savegame compatible?
Uhm
:A quick update, i have send in a updated campaign into the repository, now its fully compatible with the 1.10 patch! -
Thank you for the answers. One more thing: try adding more barrels and other clutter to the first scene like junk, bricks, bags, try to make imitations of munition/storage dumps. Will make the map come alive even more.
I can try and do that, but the more stuff there is present on the map, the longer it takes to load the map.

Oh men that was an awesome experience - just finished the first bloody scenario!
Map is really special, plenty of details - that hill with the bunker is soooo beautiful!
Tips:
- Get rid of 1 extra hour! When Germans surrendered I had 1 hour and half more!
- Put 3 to 4 MG nests behind the bocage (just next to them so they can shoot against revealing US soldiers) to protect mortarts - otherwise it's a simple turkey shoot.
- Marder III M that is positioned on the W side of the map (if you look in the direction of the main objective) does not have a LOS on the beach - it actually has a very small LOS at anything- is this WAD?
Thank you so much for this mate!
Thx for the tips, i will take these into consideration, i tried to simulate this as much as possible to the movie, so after they came through Dog One, the action was mostly over when they cleared the trenches and it showed not much of what happened from than on, only with Captain Miller debriefing stating they took out two 88's (thats why there are Marder III's, i had trouble with the 88's, they could not be destroyed for some reason or be abandoned, if they would be manned, they blew the heck out of the allies when they entered the trenches).
About the time, i know, but the thing i hate the most about this game is the short amount of time you will mostly get, some of these battles took days or even weeks. So when you make a battle simulator where you have to capture something within 40 minutes, and always when you are almost done, time is up and game over.
And regarding making the cliff a bit less of a straight line, i tried that but it made bunkers come out of position as well as trenches. When i made the cliff higher, the allies had a much bigger chance of survival and would overrun the Germans much easier, if i made the cliff lower, the Germans slaughtered almost every unit coming to the shingle.
I will try and see if i can make any more fine tuning.
What you guys think about the Ramelle mission? I'm especially proud of that one in simulating it as much as possible to the movie, as in when you are almost about to be overrun and the "P-51's, Angels on our shoulders" come in.
Btw, i also made a Normandy Battle Ambience mod specially made for these missions in mind, but they can be used for every mission basically!

It can take a while, 2 days mostly before its update.

Does anybody know why when you zoom in on something with a shadow it starts to become all liney and glitchy looking? Is there a way to fix this? (nvidia control panel?)
-
A quick update, i have send in a updated campaign into the repository, now its fully compatible with the 1.10 patch!
-
something i would like to see is that buildings do not become translucent when your men are inside or a enemy unit.

Snake-eye, did you try painting yellow map zones just along the sunken road--just one square wide? So if you painted one say about 10 squares long, a platoon should move to that zone and lineup down the road? I'd try but the wife took over the 'puter today to work on a power point presentation!
When there are more than 2 people in the house, always have 2 pc's in the house, a laptop for the fast work, a pc for games... :cool:

Something i still don't know, is how do ammo bearers supply ammo? Is it done automatically?:confused:

I've now finished the beach landing and what a terrifying experience, but a highly recommended one. It replicates the terror of the movie, men dying everywhere while you try to get off the beach. Well done! And a beautiful map too. My only concern might be the time limit (2h) - I got a total victory in 45 min. Maybe I was lucky. Or good. Or both...
Now for a more quiet second scenario, or so it seems....
The time limit, i know, when testing the map, than i finished it in 1:30, and than a hour, or even 2 hours, it's all in how much men survive the first waves and how many German defenders get taken out, it's different every round.

The beach landing is a blast, albeit a scary one so far. Great work!
Question: can you scale the bluff at any other point than the gap where you're supposed to blast the wire?
Minor comment: the brief should have info on the reinforcements.
It should be scary!
As seen in the movie and as it was in real life.What do you mean with 'scale the bluff'? There was only one exit shown in the movie, this also prevents you to overwhelm the enemy completely and makes the map bit longer to fight on.
And the reinforcements? I thought that was a bit self explanatory seeing this was a huge landing and reinforcements were being dropped constantly to secure a foothold on the beach. And once again, the scenario's from this campaign are available from the Repository in a SPR scenario pack! It only got posted in the wrong section and it's location is still not updated i see:

Think either i selected the wrong section, or something went wrong on the repository side, but i updated the download on what section it should belong in!
-
is there a way to encourage the AI to use smoke to covers its advance - 'cautious' perhaps?
Except for tanks, i have never seen infantry use smoke on their own.
-
I haven't played RTCW in a long time, so what missions are we gonna do?
-
Is there a way to play just Ramelle?
I also uploaded the campaign missions as a Saving Private Ryan scenario pack, i thought it would be in the repository by now, but it's the weekend so maybe on monday, but if you really want to play it now, just pm me and i can send you the ramelle file.
*EDIT*
I just found out with thanks to Phantom Captain, that the scenario pack got posted in the wrong section, think i accidentally selected the wrong section or something went wrong on the repository side.

It worked! I might have added a 'setup' AI plan for the German side and now everything stays on the same side, gonna need a good play-through to see if my adjustment are working out fine.
I mainly adjusted the cliff, even though i had to move the bunker left of Dog One more to the left because for some reason it went downwards in the cliff.
But the biggest change is that i made the map bigger in it's width so that when you have to take out the 88's, you are not fighting directly against the sides of the map.
Also added behind the main trenches is another line of trenches with some extra German forces. At the mortar area i have added more German soldiers as well with a MG 34 team, a concrete MG bunker has been placed behind the left side 88 flak gun to make this easier to defend for the German side. The flak 88's are also operational this time, but to not make them slaughter every allied soldier in the trenches, they are put on poor leadership and ammo supply.
