I haven't put out a map in quite a while, no real motivation. However I was doing school work today and I had a total flash of inspiration.

I need someone who is an expert on the snow effects to send me a PM. I need some advice on if something is possible and if so help to make it happen.

This map is all about atmosphere and if all goes well it should be out the first part of March.

My only hint:

"Nous sommes .... déjà mort et c'est l'enfer!"

points to anyone who gets the literary reference

[salan]

it translates rather easily from your swahelie roots...


My pooh is smelly, yet my enemy hears me coming.

YOUR MAKING A MAP IN A COW FARM DISTRICT !

[Apex]

Amiens? Or Verdun?

[Duckordie]

This is the diff from me and othere players
I make a map, then show it all othere are "hey I am making a map, be done and playebel.... Dunno but just whana say it"

[Wraith547]

eh I was just curious if anyone got the reference.

and while I feel this is a pretty tight idea, I don't want to make promises until I know that it is a feasible thing to do

[DerangedFerret]

I sent you the settings you requested.

[Wraith547]

Thanks man I really appreciate it, I'll try to get up a screenie or two in the next few days.

Changed the name also

Interesting direction, if its what I'm thinking.

[Wraith547]

Ok so here is the rundown.

The map is set on the outskirts of a fairly large city. The night before the British bomber command firebombed the city almost out of existence. Think Dresden.

Fighting is to be centered around a large plaza and cathedral. I went ahead and thought out the map description:

"I remember the night the British firebombed that city to the ground. You can't get that sort of thing out of your mind... It stays with you.

Orders came down to advance and secure the cathedral. Normally a man can get past anything, but the eerie red glow is different, I shiver just reflecting on it.

The only other thing I really remember is the little French girl who came dashing out of the rubble. Scared the shit out of Sgt. Mitrevski. She fell to her knees in front of us and said quietly, ' Nous sommes .... déjà mort et c'est l'enfer'

I looked at the translator and asked what she had said. I could tell even with the red glow and falling ash he was a grim shade of gray. He turned to me and replied:

'You are already dead... and this is hell.'"

Very basic screenie just to show the atmosphere and lighting on the soldiers

Massive props to deranged ferret for helping me get started

I'm assuming it translates to something like: "we are already dead and it is the fire/hell" or "We are once again dead and it is fire/hell"

Edit: Shit too late.

[TheDeadlyShoe]

Lots of residual fires I assume
