[RELEASE] Durka Durka Canyon

[StrafeLeft]

This is a beta version of the map. It's pretty much complete, it just has not been tested with a lot of players for gameplay and bugs. So, let me know what you think.

Re: [RELEASE] Durka Durka Canyon

Can't wait. Anyone willing to put this on a server? If so let us know!


BTW, nice name for the map!!! Did you change the load music to something from the "Team America" CD?

what do you mean by similar to cs?

Re: [RELEASE] Durka Durka Canyon

i mean that on cs(counter strike) when a server has a custom map on you can just download the map whilst connecting to the server and not having to go to all these websites to download a map then put it in the right place. Cs is just easier for custom map servers. BF2 is a all round better game though.

Re: [RELEASE] Durka Durka Canyon

Just checked this map out and I tell you it is awesome and looks fantastic, I bet it will be great fun with lots of people. Definately one of the best if not THE best custom map released!

Suggestions:
I think alot of the water should be deeper as I was able to cross most of it in a buggy - other than the designated areas that you should be able to pass - just my opinion maybe that is how you wanted it. It just doesn't do much justice to have to use the bridges in some parts - blow it up who cares.

Also from the helicopter when you are fairly high up on the shallow parts of the water flash alot - another reason to make more deep parts.

I whole heartedly think it would be great to have some walking trails leading to the top of the canyons for snipers - I know you can land a copter up there but would be cool to be able to walk to the top of some of them.

Vehicles seem to glow and flag bleed doesn't work - but i'm sure you will fix the bleed as it is rather important if you want your map on regular servers.

Maybe just one "Durka" instead of Durka Durka heh

Oh ya also remove your editor files from your client\server zips to decrease the size of your map and prevent others from editing it.

I can't help but think that Kubra Dam played some part in this map.

Great job I can't wait to play the final with a buncha peeps!!!

Re: [RELEASE] Durka Durka Canyon

Thanks for the compliments and critique Alpha.

I debated about making trails to the top of the canyon for snipers. I still might make some(to keep snipers from stealing the choppers lol), but there is a spawn point on top of the plateau in the middle of the map.

I'm glad you noticed the vehicles were bright, I thought they were too along with the player models. I'm not sure how to correct that but it does need fixed.

The shallow water does suck when it flashes, I tried to make it as less flashy as I could without having deeper water. I didn't want to constrain the paths vehicles could take so I made a lot of the water travelable.

There is flag bleed although it's after one team has 5/6 of the capable flags. It will be changed to 4/6.

Yep, Kurba Dam did give me a lot of ideas for the map.

Re: [RELEASE] Durka Durka Canyon

Hi there DMOC_Cobra,

AlphaMRE has the right comments about bright vehicles and undeep water.

But this map is so freaking good for real just need some polish here and there.
But what a great map this is, when will it be GOLD :p

Impressive map:

Re: [RELEASE] Durka Durka Canyon

Thanks EB. I fixed the vehicles and players so they're no longer overly bright. I'm making the water deeper in some places and I've made some sniper trails as well.

No you need to do the following afther downloading:

- extract the zip in the battefield 2/mods/bf2/levels directory
- open the levels directory and you will see your normal levels folders of the game and a server and clientzip and 4 screens and DukraDukra_canyon.des file of the downloaded DukraDukra_canyon zip
- create a new folder in that levels directory called "DukraDukra map" or something
- put all the extracted files of that downloaded DukraDUkra_canyon zip in that new DUkraDukra_canyon created folder
- now you have the server zip, client zip, and 4 screens and 1 DukraDukra_canyon.des files in that new created folder
- create a new folder inside the DukraDukra_canyon folder wich must be called "Info"
- put the four screens and the DukraDukra_canyon.des file in the new created "Info" folder
- now you have a overal DukraDukra_canyon map folder wich includes the server and client zip and a new created "Info" folder that includes the 4 screens and the DukraDukra.des files into it

Now start the game and choose ingame menu/multiplay/create network and find the DukraDukra map add it to the serverlist and start hosting that map.

Note: downloaded custom maps cant be played in singleplay only in multiplay!!
