Valley of Death
 

Valley Of Death is my latest mapping creation. Well, more like conversion. VoD is a SP map from BT (Breakthrough ONLY) that I converted to MP, via hex-editing and scripting.

The theme of the map is a dark, foggy, winding roadway. Plenty of cover all around you. The Allies start at the end of the road. The Axis start in a small campground.

This conversion took me roughly 1 day to do. Eliminating the AI, removing 2 of the objectives which were giving me headaches, and adding the new spawn points in, were the areas which took me most of that time to do. But, with all the time spent, I am happy to say that it was worth it.

This is the first map in a series of maps I am working on, all being converted maps from SP. I am releasing this map as a test to show you what you have to look forward to with the future mappack. At this point in time, map #2 is already done and map #3 is about done. They will, along with other maps, be released as a conversion map pack. Consisting of possibly 5 to 10 maps.

Check below for several screenshots of the map as of right now. The map is now available for download by clicking [url=http://www.filamedia.com/aan/Maps/ValleyOfDeath_BT.zip:6bd05]HERE[/url:6bd05]. MAKE SURE TO READ THE README FILE FOR INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS.

looks good

Woo hoo nice job buddy. Why u hex em instead of decompile recompile no biggy just wondered.

scorp

this gonna be for mohaa?

looks great

The maps are hardcoded for Breakthrough only. I hexed them because I know hexediting like the back of my hand. Decomipling only ruins a map. Scripting is better overall.

Can you make that NebWaffer map to MP? I tryed several times and its a no go. possibly with neb's firing?

oh yea how is BT compared to SH? and compared to aa?

Also how much is BT?

NebWaffer?

Think of BT as SH with the new stuff, and without any of the bugs that SH had. BT runs from 20 to 30 bucks. If you look around though you can probably find it for 15.

yea the 5 barrel cannons

M3L3

Can you make it into MP?

That is basically what the Hunt level is. But yeah I could make it into MP if I wanted to.

mike if poss could u let me know the basics of hexing maps as i wanna give it a try instead of that dam bsp to map thing lol. If not its cool

Well hex-editing dosent have a set formula to it. Basically, I use it to remove things that you normally cannot remove. Such as AI, triggers, objectives, and even health and ammo boxes. Basically, once you know how to find things in a BSP file, you reset the item's origin so that it isn't visible in the map. Hit me up on AIM. You can get it from my profile. I'll help you out on there.

Nice 1 i just had a look at one of the sp maps in hex. I take it its the text parts i would change etc like the spawners etc.

Hit me up on AIM. It is more complicated that one would think. Too detailed to explain here. Believe me lol.
