Here's a little review and pics...

Map comments:
It's a big map but not as big as dod_caen or dod_goodwood but there are lots of paths, sub-paths
and open building. I was amaze the church was open too hehe. This map kinda lets you go where ever
you wanna go.
The middle part is the coolest part I think since lots of places to snipe.
No wonder it took Dradz 6 years to make this hehe.


Bots:
- Bots doing good.
- Took me awhile to get them capturing the middle part since the capture wpt was on top where the flag is but made them work.
- Bots tend to go more on the shortest path towards the middle part.

Blind bots....yes there are blind bots that can't shoot low and be shot at on those
narrow windows, too bad coz they were perfect ambush spots. That could be fix if Dradz is willing to
widen them a little bit but anyway I just deleted those blind snipe/mg wpts so
there won't be any wasted AI of no use.

DODS: Deathmatch...

Yeah this map is perfect for either tdm or much better, at full FFA mode so
I created and added tdm/ffa spawn points as well.
Those hidden rooms and corners are perfect spot to respawn
during ffa mode so nothing is wasted with this big map.


Just use this rcbot commands for ffa mode:

rcbot_ffa 1/0
rcbot_dontcapture 1/0

1 = on
0 = off





Hope I didn't miss any spot or unconnected wpts.


Get wpts and dods:dm spawn points here and sorry for the ads hehe...

Awesome , This looks like a very nice map, after 6 years I guess it would be... I'll have to download later though, its kinda big...

I played rouen_b1 for dod beta3.1, it was a very fun map with sturmbot, in a semi-destroyed town. Any idea if this is a remake of that map? It had a fountain in the center of the map that required 2 to capture. The map is still installed in my dod folder too, heh heh... The author of that map was Evan Dawe ([A!A]Spider) according to the readme.

Thanks for the rcw's & spawn's....

Off topic: btw, I found out what was going on with fileden. Had my nephew look them up on facebook. It seems they had a hard drive crash & are trying to recover it. But also they will be moving to a completely new system in mid August, supposedly with better redundancy/security. I really liked their service, until this happened. I may continue to use them?

[genmac]

I think it is since it has fountain in the middle with 2 caps.

Dragz requested the wpt and was kinda hesitant at first coz it was kinda big but after learning it took 6 years to complete on and off for sure coz I think it won't take that long if you work on it 5-8 hours a day but after wpting it completely hehe no wonder it took him that long. He probably took lots of break from it all coz mapping is hard work and lot's of hair pulling and research when something ain't working. So it's an honor to wpt his map. Not everyday you get wpt request from the map author itself hehe.

Well that's good to know I too like fileden since it's a direct download and no annoying ads.

[Emotional]

Hmmm, I thought, that you waypointing maps from map request thread) but okay, that map too nice, I like it) I myself not being able to waypointing cause I working guide in Mountain Shoriya %) i'm sorrry

[genmac]

Hehe I'm sure the others will wpt some of your request.

[dradz]

Thanks for all the kind words about rouen - glad to hear you like it enough to work up up all these waypoints - can't wait to check it out!

[genmac]

Cool! hope you enjoy playing your big map with bots and don't forget this works on listen server no need for a dedi just make sure you put "-insecure" on the launch option so the bot plugin will work.

Btw welcome to the forum. If you have any other dods map you want wpted just drop a request.

[madmax2]

Yes, welcome dradz... Its cool to see the map authors show up here, first CharlestonN and now you... I did some searching, but the only hint I could find of a connection between this map and the original dod_rouen for dod3.1/1.3, was a post you made of it being ported to source back in 2007? So I guess this is a remake of that great map? So may I ask if you were also the author of that original map too?

At any rate, your new map is getting lots of good feedback, and I hope to get it soon & try it out with genmac's waypoints...

I want to say that's a cool map! Really enjoyable to play 16 x 16. I also gonna to test it in FFA/TDM mode
Too bad filesize is too big. I'd upload this to my server, but I guess many players will disconnect due to big file size and slow internet connection. Could you compress it a bit? I guess its quite possible.
Otherwise map looks really very well made and realistic. I like the helmets, radios, some weapons and unique ambient sounds in a few map places. Havent seen something like that before.
Keep up good work!

I am glad you like it!
the file size can't be reducced without removing the custom conten. I have been onservers with fast downloads and have not seen mmany playerss drop, but depends on the serer, I guess.

I loaded up & played rouen the other nite, and I must say WOW... Its a very nice map with lots of detail. Seems to be well optimized too. It runs well on my old slow single core PC (amd64 3200+)..

I see elements of the original layout of the first dod_rouen_b1 from dod 3.1beta era, but it looks like a completely different map in the newer source engine. I like all the little things in the map, that bring it to life, like the the radio playing at allied spawn, with artillery action being discussed, etc... It's a professional quality map, that could of been included with the game had it been done... Excellent map dradz, i'll be looking for your next map in 6 years, heh heh...

And great job on the rcw genmac, I was surprised, ambushed several times... I'll be keeping this map installed for quite a while, and playing it more... Thanks guy's, great addition to the RCbot universe (as is WN-71)...

[Septien]

Couldn't agree more with Max,

This map is a keeper! It shows a lot of work and detail! And the wpts are perfect!

Congrats to both!
