Some of you might remember my last map for day of defeat, dod_metz... they still play it in BfE, but unfortunately I lost the rmf file in a reformat, and had to start over with a new map... so I bring you dod_regensturm.

This dod map is set in a maze of warehouses and factories, during a thunderstorm (hence the name, regensturm is german for rainstorm). The whole area has suffered extensive bomb damage, so within the buildings, some passages are blocked, and some openings have been blown in walls providing new routes. The map is very non-linear, different routes will have to be taken to cap flags, in some cases players will have to backtrack a bit after capping a flag to get to the next flag.

The map is also littered with TNT objectives, 10 total so far, that open up new routes. I'm thinking of only placing 3 or 4 tnt satchels in each spawn, so that not every target can be blown each round, which will hopefully make the map play a little bit differently each time.

There are 6 flags, and each are 2 man captures. I'm hoping to place an emphasis on teamwork for this map, the flags may be difficult to cap but they are for the most part placed very close to each other. Comments on this aspect would be appreciated, do you think this will make the map play well or not?

r_speeds average around 300-500, and top out at 700 in only one spot, so I have a bit of room for improvement as I continue to work on the map and add more detail. The general layout is 100% done however, and the map is pretty much playable now, so hopefully I'll have a download of dod_regensturm_b1 within a few days. Just have to do a few final things, clip some models, get some func_walls and illusionaries working properly, etc.

Now the part you've all been waiting for: THE PICS

Feedback would be greatly appreciated, especially on whether the map is too dark or not.

Very nice, but some more light from the skybox would be welcome, I think.

I like it. Prehaps it is a bit too dark; but then again, I do like the "gloominess" of it. The idea of 4 explosives with 10 possible places to put them sounds good.

BTW, for those of you who play DoD, kak and I were hoping to get a Massassi DoD player group together... not a clan, just a loose group of ians who play the game. Anyone who's interested can join #dod on irc.holonet.org.

looks really nice... I didn't play DoD in a while but I really like the look of this.

Looks good. The two-players per flag idea...I dunno if I like the idea of _every_ flag being like that. But I guess we'll find out how well it works.

It needs more detail. Kinda bland right now.

This map is quite fun to play. I don't think anything beats it in terms of non-linearity. It really was a joy to play. We need to get a larger group together though so we can actually see how hard it would be to cap the flags.

Do you edit or know how to make levels for Jedi Knight too?
If you do, please contact me.
