Kirchhof. Snowy Park just got a makeover.
 

For those of you who hate the thought of playing Snowy Park on a server, have I got a present for you. Imagine Snowy Park, without the snow. Take that, add some stormy weather, custom textures/models, and a new soundtrack, and you have got the new and improved version now called Kirchhof. The map isn't quite ready for uploading yet, so here is a small taste of the map in it's current state. No FPS is posted in the screenshots, but I assure you that it is running 15+ higher than Snowy Park does. Also, the fog is going to be tweaked further, so the fog in the screenshots is by no means final. This "map" will be included in the next version of EyeCandy and will be put up on the EyeCandy server so that you can get the weather effects as well, since that is the only server-sided part of the changes we have made.

All feedback is welcome. Thanks.

great job... i always disconnect when snowy park comes up on a server, now i dont have to. are there going to be any destroyed tanks, cars, etc? it looks a little boring right now with just trees, but thats not your fault bc snowy park was boring too. keep up the good work.

awsome i hate snowy park know its ok

Re: GJ
 

Oh of course. This is just the base map. Some Spearhead models are going to be imported and placed in the map. Should make it interesting.

where and how did u get the .bsp file for this map
 

well i am thinking about making a mod for MOHAA mp levels but one problem i dont know were to find the .bsp file for the offical map in the Pak files can u help me plz

The .bsp files can be found in Pak5.pk3. Use [url=http://www.winzip.com:f4ca1]winzip[/url:f4ca1] to unpack it.

Cant wait to try this one Powell.

I always loved snowypark and and the first version u did I like to call snowy on steriods.

Its a blast.

Thankyou Hobbes. lol

Ok, I have started the process of importing Spearhead models into the map. Here is the first one finished. Its a damaged C47 plane. More images to come as things are added to the map.

Beeeeeee-U-Tea-Full

damn youre good.. keep it up.

i am scared..
 

your map is my last name!! looking good dude!

This looks even better than the old snowy park? Will there be any extra things like i dunno... huts or small houses etc?

I was up untill 4am last night messing with the overall map lighting to see if I could infact get another atmosphere into the map. The end results I am happy to say, are perfect.

Me and Bruno decided to make 2 versions of Snowy Park, versus the previous one. First version being of all the pics we have shown you so far, and the second version being totally different.

I went back to the base map model and re-added new and more formal things in, versus the rain and explosions in the other version. This one is going to be more "clean" if you can call it that.

Not much has been done in the way of adding new things to this second version, but here are 2 screenshots I took this morning. The look I am going for is Bahnhof from Spearhead, so it should be interesting. Enjoy and post feedback if you want.

Dayum! Man, that looks fantastic!

GG!

it look's SMACKtastic oOo:
where can i download it?

Yeah, its got a morning atmosphere versus the darkness of a thunderstorm. Many hours of work on it will get those kinds of results. lol.

As far as a release, I cannot be sure as I have tons of things still left to do with the map. I'm trying not to rush it so that you all can get the best conversion of the map that anyone has ever seen.

Thanks for the comments.

I like the atmosphere; much like the forest in episode 9 of Band of Brothers, 'Why we fight'. Looks much better than Snowy.

I remember that Episode. Great series.

ed:

when are any of your mods going to be released?

Well Newt, think of it like this. I could rush really fast just to release them to everyone and have them be a half-ass job, or I can take my time, testing several different ideas and release them as pure quality work. Which do you prefer?

''mods'' that take over 8 months to make. over..... crappy mods? hmmm........

Nice to know that you think I have taken 8 months to make some of these things I have made. Anything else?

well alot u still haven't released that you said 'nearly done'

lol
 

What exactly, if anything are you doing for the community newt? I only see you make an ars of yourself on this forum.

newt is only a spammer

More info on Kirchhof can be found onsite
 

Download will be made available on the EyeCandy Forum.

great work!

Well we know you can have it working on a jeep, thats been done, what.. a year ago?

Don't start Rungsi. I could easily find things to say about you. Just drop it ok.

lol
 

"Well we know you can have it working on a jeep, thats been done, what.. a year ago?"

It was said so i wouldn't have to reply -that it is usable for those who might ask. I don't know you personally RUNGSI but i can debate the fact that your manners may need some work. Just a thought:)

No hard feelings RUNGSI Everyone has their days.

Nice
 

Very nice change on the snowy park map. I like it.

You can follow suit with some other "modders" around here and show the pics and then never release it.

Well, considering that this map conversion is a ways from being complete, I'll just ignore your second comment.

I guess i came off little unclear, I ment people want the .30 cal working.
Well we cant use it unless you attach it to the jeep.
mark and I made that working a year ago. (thats what I ment)
Well, thats good an all, but wouldnt we all rather have a bipod version like the mg42 set up?
I guess what I ment was, we still need it standing alone, and I am working on a new version for BoB mod.

.
 

I already had it standing alone and mounted to the wall, just thought it would look better on the jeep. I didn't use the tik that you might be thinking of. The only thing that need's work is the skc. It has poor third person animations, in stock form anyway. Let me know if you need some info on the mounted version i have.

well you can have it standing alone, the fact is the models origin is set for a player to use while on the jeep, so the aim is off.

Thats what I was trying to say.

Sorry if I came off like an asshole, I have been under a lot of pressure with the mod.

I apologize myself. Took your statement the wrong way. I know exactly what you mean about the 30 cal meant to be used on the jeep. I thought about working on the model itself to eliminate the pole it stands on. But overall, throwing it on the jeep is much easier. Thanks for clarifying that.

sniff.....lets all form a circle...and sing "We are the world" biggrin:

Powell I just wanna say the map looks bad ass bro. Keep up the good work! Learn to hit your old buddy up a lil more often too biggrin:

peace

Even though you and I dont get along at all, I still know what it means to respect work. This, I respect.
