There was a textuer called somethig strange, and black,  removed that one and like all othere textuers, and was not in use.
Then i del all HQ and spawn points and exti points. Re placed them.

Thats all i remember doing, maybe it has some thing to with triggers, dunno, but when i only removed the triggers it still did not work, I gess the black textuer. maybe a HQ was not "in map" Dunno, But it works

[Duckordie]

Now, I tested to ad textuers, and i have around 15, and it still works, so the "Rule" with Max 8, is a fail

[AmPM]

That "rule" is for the low end machines that were around when CoH was released. Its broken heavily in all OF maps. In effect you can use a ton of them, all it does is make loading slightly longer.

After 6 Pages, of errores and things...
Here are a Working V:

Beta 1, this works 100%
With 2.0 "soon" comming out, please please play this map if you gona do 3vs3, i realy need a test, I will not be abel to play due school.

[Kolath]

Sweet!  Congratulations on getting it working! 

As for the 8 texture "rule" it isn't so much that it break, but that it can slow performance.  In general, you can get by with using splats to compensate.  But it sounds like you somehow had a corrupted texture or something.

Who knows, but at least it works now!

[Duckordie]

This maps now works with the new CP system added yesterday.
Feel free to play and report, so we can add this map to the map list

[Duckordie]

Cheers to all ho made a test with me today, Rzor, Dragon, Akranadas, TorJado, Warbirds. We found out may bugs, that will be fixed.

I gona remove 30% of the map with, and 20% of the maps Length to make the map smaller, and less lag. IF there where any more huge bug exept you could not dirve thro barbwier and could run thro buildings and large tree groves. Please post it. Gona fix the bug and the map next weekend
you may still run the map and test, due it works

[Wraith547]

I don't think you can adjust the size of the map after its been created, but I may be wrong.

You may just need to go through the tedious optimization steps.

Jsut gona make a HUGE Stamp ^^

[Kolath]

I am very familiar with trying to shrink a map.  My 3v3 map, Ardenne Valley was originally a 4v4 map about twice as wide.  You can see my original map WIP here: http://forums.europeinruins.com/index.php/topic,1831.0.html and see that I cut it down to only one side of the river.  If you want to shrink your map, stamping is the way to go.  Be forewarned that it is a bit tricky.  I used to have a tutorial on that, but now I can't find it.

Basically what you need to do is make a stamp using the big white bounding box.  Then you need to remember the point at the very center of the stamp and then go look at the height of that point.

On the new map, pick where you want the center of the map to be, then set the height at the center to match the height at the center of the old map.  Only then will your stamp be at the correct height.

See the relic wiki on stamps for more info: http://wiki.relicrank.com/index.php?title=Stamp_Placement

Also, note that with the bounding box, you can only rotate the stamp in 90 degree increments.  Just be aware of that.

What size do you use for 3vs3? (playbel area)

[Kolath]

That's a matter of preference.  It varies.  What size is it now?

[Duckordie]

800'600 If i remeber right

[Unkn0wn]

Playable area?
If so, holy shit, that's way too big for a 3v3.

[Unkn0wn]

So whats the situation with this map, does anyone actually play it? :/
