I finished my main arena map. done finito finished. I go to email it to dux to do a quick clipboard map and server drops the email and wont take the upload...
i figure my email is toast so I switch to another email, sam thing wont take the upload, I switch to a yahoo email, internet connection hangs when trying to add attachments...
I call Road runner tell them whats happening and that after each email or internet dropoff the cable conx light blinks off and wont come back till a min or two later.
they say they will send a technician out tomorrow to fix it and that the internet signal throgh the cable line is to weak to support any transfers of any significant size without hanging and disconecting completely then resesting a few minutes later.
so after almost 5 hours of frustration after doing all this work to get this Arena finished before AH2 is out the cable modem decides it no longer wants to upload anything.
so here I am sitting with my hands tied and a brand new main arena sitting in front of me that I cant send. my monitor almost got the baseball bat treatment but i instead just did the camron fry ferris beullers day off scream that could be heard for miles.
well hope the tech can fix it tomorrow

rutilant@cableone.net
in da profile
-
sent! you gonna host it on h2h? or a web site?
-
let me know what ya think too I want feedback :)
things to look at....
ground vehicle routes in mountain valleys and new gv base design (they have towns now)
field a21 (10k center field for furball at all altitudes heaven) surrounding fields are low altitude like the old MA from long ago.
clouds are bigger and more usefull for hide n seak tactics
city and strat facility ground wars.
many strat and city locations have spawn points to strat facilities
zone bases spawn next to their strat facilities in many places since the zone base always owns the strat facility. will make for much action for vehicles and give them a way to affect the war more than a tank town would.
there are a few gv slalom courses built into the terrain (a5 has one one of the HQ spawns has one and there are 1 or 2 others scattered about for kicks.
-
also base spacing is same distances as mindanao and other small maps. much shorter travel times than in the current 512mile main arenas
this is a 512k map though
-
Fester can you drop it to me also? I would like to have a look at the terrain as well. It sounds interesting.

Thanks.

This is a good idea. Heck wouldnt mind 163s being turned on at strats either, since they were targets that would been defended you would think.
-
gonna stick with just gv spawns for now.
163s only available at large base next to hq's still
there are hurricane mk2d's available at 2 gv bases on each country 3 bases back from the front though wanted to see how they would fit in since they have such small ammo load of 32 rounds and carry no bombs
-
also of note... all bases are built into the terrain so that almost none of them have hills blocking the ends of runways... somthing you real world pilots might have also been bothered by in other terrains :)
-
and also... lol
roads and railroads are shorter, convoys now travel 30-40mph along 6-7mile rodes, trains travel about 45-50mph along 8 mile railroads.
roads also wrap around airfields and vehicle fields quite a bit so the trucks will be where the action is instead of invisible along a 10mile desolate road.
spawn points at gv bases are 2 miles away while airfield spawns are average 4-5 miles away from the airfield tower.
also strat facilities are located closer to the zone bases to make it less cheesy and avoidhaving a factory owned by a country 100 miles behind enemy lines :)
-
Somebody post this on the net please.
-
Fester EMail terrain to me please
wweimer@neo.rr.com
Will install
-
I'm hosting the map now in h2h if ya want to take a look at it online in there
-
H2H is full...if you email it to me, I'll throw it up on the web for folks to d/l.
-
wow Fest! Going old school with that 10k base... Cant wait to try it out. Have two more classes before I get back to my comp.
And great idea on the tank spawns to strat facilities. I've wanted that for a long time... I think since Uterus (sfma?) came out. I remember suggesting this with you to HiTech when he was online waaay back in 1.05 I think.
