Sounds like a nice beginning on a map! :naughty: Got any more screenies, or a full map of it? :)

the war zone will be small, because it is infantry map
may be from D2 to F2, D2 to D6, and the "sexton" of British will stay at C7

looks great, and the loading screen is excellent. just blur the edges (presuming you're using PS, then use the eraser softly), and make them less straight.

where does the statics come from?

Re: How do you use mortors and knee mortors effectively?
 

sorry for my poor english, i do not understand what you mean, may be you are talking about the gibbet?

i just use those wood...plank10m....something like that
but i have no idea how to make hanging rope on the gibbet

i always want to add Universal Carrier in this map, but i don't have the .lst file name. I hope the .lst file for 0.67 will release soon

does anyone know the fatal splash diameter of fixed/knee mortar shells, a rough guess even?

as ever with any kind of indirect fire i find myself relying on a good spot from someones binoculars.

Re: How do you use mortors and knee mortors effectively?
 

yes, for instance. statics are those objects you add to the map that the user cannot destroy, man, move, etc. like trees, buildings, some wrecks. and then there are the statics that in reality are dynamic objects like the destroyable doors on omaha, and the destroyable bridge on breakthrough.

maybe ask someone for a custom made rope? shouldn't be too hard to make, or very time consuming. see if you can convince a modeler to help you out, or do it yourself. there's plenty of help to get in the mapping forum.

there are some battlecraft files out that adds several of the .67-vehicles in the mapping forum, although not one single working file. i'd recommend spending a weekend to learn how to use editor42 (after a weekend you will not only have learned enough to use it, but also improved your map a lot - no matter how good it is at the moment). that way you won't need any list to add any of the new vehicles.

knee mortar: probably something like a hand grenade, fixed mortars are probably a lot more effective (ie. perhaps twice as powerfull?)

Re: How do you use mortors and knee mortors effectively?
 

it works the same way as with grenades, hold the lmb to shoot shorter distances, how the hell it's even possible with a mortar though...

Re: How do you use mortors and knee mortors effectively?
 

ahhh i see, thanks

/i keep making the mistake of trying to close the crosshairs by "zooming" only to find myself commiting Harikari :P

Its usefull for fighting Thommygun wielding GI's, just run up to them and click.
