[MOW] The Longest Day - Omaha Beach

[Lead]

Hello everyone.
I would like to present my vision of landing in Normandy.
The action happens in the EASY GREEN sector where there is only one approach to the cliff.
I'm working on this map since 2 months, map is quite large and in about 90% complete.
The player gets to the disposal Shreman DD and two LCVP.
Fighting on the beach already runs, and under the control of AI will be about 300 allied soldiers, plus another 250-300 for the landing. Landing crafts are shelled by artillery in the loop and the beach itself is shelled with mortars and howitzers.
Scripts have been designed and tested on a different map. But unfortunately I have no experience in scripting and I can not define the objectives of the mission: (

I put a nice weather to the gallery. The default is rainy:)

Tbh, this is magnificent, very breathtaking screenies lol, its like real life.

I cant wait for this nice beautiful map. Very well detailed.

[Lead]

Thanks. Maps are not a problem for me, but when it comes to scripting the matter is no longer so easy :huh:

[jimopl]

that feeling is mutual to me :brickwall:

[edelweiss]

weather can't be rainy, all d-day would have been failed if weather have been rainy, all tanks couldn't move in beach sand for their weight.

[Windmaker]

But it was raining all day. The weather was terrible. Just read some descriptions of that day weather.

[edelweiss]

it was raining on june 5th, thats why attack was delayed.

[Windmaker]

But 6th was also a terrible day, they attacked because next time would be months later so that was last chance. Just read some books about D-Day and you will find such info ;)

[sgt_steiner]

i believe windmaker is correct on this point!!!

[DutchLaurens]

Nice man i like what you did with the grass
:realbig:

[BigFoot]

Very nice! I'm really looking forward to this sp mod.

[sinnaco]

great looking map! 8O

is there any chance you could make a mp combat version of the map? (id love a frontlines or battlezones version of a map like this but trying to make one my self i have found it almost impossible :sadflat: )

Ive been waiting forever for a good multi Omaha map :realbig:

[BigFoot]

If I remember correctly, Chinese D-Day is also a multiplayer mod.

No, sorry I am wrong about Chinese D-Day. Maybe I am thinking of the Omaha Beach mod in FoW

Small update of progress in the design of the mission:)

Nice screens ! remind me a film "Saving Private Ryan" ! :D


~asureka

[BigFoot]

The pictures look fantastic! When do you think it will be ready to release?

[Lead]

I do not know the exact date because the plans were changing. The map is much smaller because of the amount of detail and size it was laggy (6-10fps).
I planned to make this mod in 2 parts:
The first is landing on the beach, the second part of the mission takes place in Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer.

[BigFoot]

Sounds great, can't wait!!

[usera8]

hi. i'm new to DMS and i have only just lerned about the map editer programe. also i was woundering if u could post the origional version so that we all could look at it. and personaly i was in need of information about this: how do u get the guys to go in the boot in the editer screen? when i try they just end up swiming to shore :brickwall: . and the screeneis look awsome. hope ur new idea works out :)
regardes,
usera8

p.s. i would also like to play with the map itself :typing: for purly ejucational purposes becouse i would never mess with someone elses hard work and try to pass it off as my own. also srry i'm a realy bad speller

[Lead]

Hello.
thanks for your w kind words:)
I do not know exactly what you mean with these boats, but if I understand you ask how to put the soldiers on board right?
And as for the maps that I have probably one that could be used even for multi, I'd just have to be properly prepared and retrench.

[usera8]

yes i am asking how to put the men on board and that sounds great too with the map. could u make a single player version of the map too if possible? and one more question: i downloaded a map from the site but i don't know how to make the game let me play it or let me use it on GEM editer. any suggustions as about how i do that too?

[Lead]

As for the landing crafts there is a lot of video tutorials on this subject, just look for example Youtube.
And as for the maps that it is already scripted, but it is not playable because of the numbers of units and size (300x1000). Probably suitable only for multiplayer.
And if you want to load any map(in folder) extracts to: \ Program Files \ Men of War \ resource \ maps. :)
.....

I just place a short Tube vid made in cinematic mode. I hope you like it.

[BigFoot]

Great video! This is a sp mission correct?

[Lead]

This is what we write here from the beginning: yes this is a single mod

[Imperial Kaskins]

Looks like this is a more realistic Omaha Beach. I wonder is possible to place Tank on the assault boat that transport men. I saw the tank being transport to the beach.

And nice Video, Too bad i cant watch all of it coz me internet sucks.

And maybe place some blood. Use Muddy_spot and change the colour not texture.
