Artkin Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Hey!While we wait for the mech team v team to get together on CM forums I made a four mission campaign in Black Sea on Rad Full 2.If anyone wants to test it with me to see if its balanced or fun that would be pretty crazy (I could use help with fortification placement and AI plans if you really get into the map as well ).Battles at max will only be a smidge over battalion vs battalion depending on your losses (Little to none at all in this case). Master maps are a lot of fun considering all the space. Huge maps really dont start lagging until you place more pixeltruppen than you should anyway. Hopefully someone will find my campaign enjoyable =). No briefings yet. More details/screens to come.If you want the file to test, please PM. I want to have a fun pbem on this.

The_MonkeyKing Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Maybe give us the Campaigns Briefing text to read? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 I don't have a mission whipped up yet but it shouldn't take long at all. I didn't think to add a briefing or anything quite yet. I figured we could knock out a quick game and if there is further interest we can continue. But for now I had figured we could setup a battle in phases: First- Recon platoon and mech inf platoon Second (10-15 min later)- armor platoon and mech inf platoon Third - whatever We can either do a company sized mech battle or a battalion sized one. It'll come down to how many troops we will want to command each/how many troops your pc can handle on the great Rad Full 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steppenwulf Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 What about the caveat?This map was so large and memory intensive that the maximum map size was scaled back. (It is worth noting I was not able to open this map when complete in the 3d preview, as it caused a CTD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) WOOPS! I've been so out of sync with the forums I realized this thread was about the campaign I threw together. Then again I've been practically begging for a pbem. I'm able to run the map on an i5 2500k and a gtx 670 with 16gb ddr3. In this following link contains the campaign itself, the four individual mission files, the campaign text file, and the master file for the troops I used. https://drive.google.com/open?id=12DLfFVLheZ9YHYJvl8ntzg1ibZy4MK0X I didn't write up a briefing yet or anything of the sort. I wanted to see if there was interest before I attempted it. Furthermore, my GPU wound up dying on me and I can no longer load in as well. I think a lot of the memory used for the map is stored in the GPU. ~I'm currently shopping for a new card Edited July 12, 2018 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banned Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) I am always interested in good user campaigns as campaigns provide this additional connection, meaningfulness, and immersion single scenarios lack for me. I can´t tell you much other than that I downloaded scenario 1, it loaded correctly, and that the map looks good. When you perchance find time to create immersive briefings and background I definitely will give it a try.

If you think it'll be 2 battalions (or so), against 3+ battalions, just buy something like what you foresee ending up with. E.g., generic battalions, without worrying about experience levels and attachments. Then, just mash 'em together. Big sweeping moves with multiple waypoints for everything. Don't worry about what ends up where or legal/illegal terrain. The goal? To see if the movements and LOS calculations will cause a CTD. Just because a map can load in 3D does not mean that a game will load. It's the additional load of having units moving, LOS'ing, and shooting which will overload your computer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yeah I've done all that. My max was about 5-6 battalions on that map before CTD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) So I'm going to try and publish this. It's meant as a H2H. I'm gonna go through it a bunch of times and edit it a bunch but here's a start. This is for the first mission: US Player Commander, In preparation for our assault you've been assigned to recon the front lines east of Radzy. Our intent is to receive as much intel on the enemy force as possible and then pull out. ROE is return fire only. Your task in the will be to establish a fob and occupy the five objectives A, B, C, D, E. In addition, a force will be granted to penetrate and survey the front lines. Your Forces: You have been assigned a stryker scout platoon and a sniper section to establish the fob (indicated in blue) and occupy the objectives (indicated in red). You have also been assigned a motorized scout platoon to penetrate and survey the front lines South of the crossing points. Enemy Forces: Understood to be at least a brigade of Russian mechanized regulars from the 42nd Guards Motor Rifle Division in vicinity of Radzy. As an aside: To clarify, I was extremely confused when answering questions earlier since I made a million posts on both Radzy and Donetsk. In summary: I have a Rad US v Russia 4 mission campaign completed, but needs to be touched up to be published. (Which I am doing now. We can still play it if interest arises.) Separately, I wanted to get a team v team game going on this map, but that appears it isn't happening. I am going to focus on getting this out of the way first.

Artkin Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 I don't want to post too much information as to spoil the campaign, but I will continue giving a taste. This first mission will give the player a good idea of how laggy and demanding the scenarios will be. It's really not that bad in my opinion. The US player has the choice of accomplishing objectives and withdrawing, or they can prolong the operation and scout out targets. If someone would like to try this with me, I promise to give a fair game, and coherent responses from here on out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by zooming out - you'll likely see his name somewhere You should credit him somewhere for using it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrTom Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Seems my computer can handle it OK @Artkin. Perhaps an H2H AAR is in order? Can never have to many of those! You mentioned teams - if there are the people available I'd be interested in trying that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artkin Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 Idk how at this point. Surely not all the maps are Petes. I think everyone understands they arent mine since theyre converted. But sounds great @HerrTom. I know at least one guy thatd want to play this. I was hoping for a TvT anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that you might be able to open the two separate halves independently.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Cheers fella, it opens in the editor just fine, but crashes on preview, so I'll probably just trim it until it cooperates.....I've had mixed results with converted maps in the past, but I suspect this is down to sheer size and the battering my GPU's taken over the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
