This is the new final for the map 6p_Dawn. I received constant complaints about the atmospheric settings, and after it was revealed that this may be the reason the map is never played, I have SIGNIFICANTLY toned down the bloom, as evidenced by the screenshots at the bottom of the atmosphere, not in any particular order.

Turn down the brightness. Seriously, while a cool effect for screens, its painful to play.

[Thtb-Ally]

To much Territory!

[Warbirds]

No, AmPM.  Keep the bloom.  In fact, make the bloom so high that it sets your skin on fire and melts your eyes.   

Sectors could use some work, though.  Maybe merge some of the sectors in the southeast and northwest sections of the village?  Northwestern spawns also have much too large territories compared to the southeastern spawns.

[DerangedFerret]

Note that the larger sectors are much more open, making their size logical.

[DerangedFerret]

Update! Many sectors re-done or added. The shooting at trees problem has been fixed! A graveyard has been added! New screens & download at top.

[DerangedFerret]

New versio out again. 2/27.

Fixed the null graveyard territory.

Sectors re-worked

More cover added in wheat fields.

[Thtb-Ally]

Is the screeny updated?

[DerangedFerret]

The territory layout is.

Ah! I for got to mention that the blinding bloom effects have been toned down.

[DerangedFerret]

BETA 1.1


After several people complained about my territory placement, I changed it completely. I restarted all the sectoring from scratch, and my result is posted in front.

In addition, I spruced up the swampy lowlands a bit, and smoothed the territory out, so airborne wouldn't get stuck.

Update is up top.

[DerangedGerman]

After several complaints about the sparse amount of cover on the wheat field portion of the map, I have decided to completely revamp that half of the map. I will have a new update up in the next few days.

[DerangedFerret]

Update completed.

[DeadlyShoe]

That should be good, the wheat field was really boring compared to the town :]

[fldash]

We tried playing a 3v3 on this and it kept bugging out... I just loaded it in Skirmish and it worked fine.

How did you get it to look so nice... it's got like a glow effect.

[Draygon]

The glow effect is nice but it might be too "glowy" I think maybe if it was toned down just a bit so there was less of a radioactive look going on it may be better.

[DerangedFerret]

The effect is on purpose. All you have to do is decrease blur threshold. I discovered it while screwing with lighting settings for White_Out, which I have abandoned. I decided I liked it, and by the way, it has ben decreased A LOT from the original version.

[Draygon]

Yea original was like "holy hell, my eyes."  I like the effect, but I guess was hoping for a little more "turning down."  It does look good though.

[fldash]

I love the look of this map... very sweet...

[Unkn0wn]

Map looks great and has a lot of potential but I really like the sector system used for it.
Right now, the sector system is pretty much a CAP CAP CAP one, a square map with a traditional sector system really isn't advised for EiR.

I would suggest looking into either using an objective based system or applying a sector system simular to that of Westfalen/Henschel Airfield. (No sectors on the flanks)

[DerangedFerret]

Ah? Do you like it or not? I'm a bit confused here!
