BHD Confusion

[Scott]

I don't know about you guys but all this stuff for beta 1, beta 2 and then the third demo is getting me really confused and keeping track of maps and files is taking more time then anything. As off today, since the old BHD Beta Demo cannot connect to novaworld anymore maps will not be accepted for the old beta demo. Maps will only be accepted for the Official Demo. All the maps that I have now for the beta demo will still be posted, but they will be archived. DFBHD.dk have some sort of mod out that allows you to play any game type. I don't know if the beta maps will work with this mod so can someone please tell me? And does the old map editer work with the new demo? Please shine some light on the subject!! It's driving me nuts! I can't wait till the full game comes out to make it all simple again!

The old demo maps will work with the new beta, the old editor doesn't have any of the new terrains/buildings. The new beta isn't really worth playing though as bugged people can run through buildings and shoot you through buildings because their client doesn't see any buildings at all.

Only with the devilsclaw mod though right?

[Scott]

And i cannot for anything get the old beta TDM maps to work with the new version, even with the devilsclaw mod.

Glad to know I'm not the only confused one around here.

I have played the Official PreRelease Demo and it ROCKS
I am tired of the CTF map that is the only multiplay feature

And the SP mission gives me good Idea of what to expect for the final release and My brain is amped with some hairy COOPerative missions. I can hardly wait to play with full voice comms and a tight unit to battle with this will no doubt be the best DF yet.

As to the mission editor I haven't had any luck getting the demo to recognize any maps I have tried. Th eproblem for me has been even though I run the packit the game will only see the stock CTF maps and won't let me choose another game mode.

I hope that nova doesn't get rid of Player made maps. That would be a mistake of the highest order. The main reason i have loved DF for so long is the ability of people nameley myself to make mission maps. I have seen some maps that put the in house "CD" missions to shame. There are some very innovative map makers out there, and some of the maps range from down right scary mean and real to the ridiculous monstrosity maps. I prefer to build the team coop missions as real as I can get. I want the sweat to drip from my underarms the same as it does in multiplayer deathmatch. While being tactically and true to life in strategy and Object placement.
Lastly I want to take this chance to all the people out there like RAVEN (whoever you are) that take the time to make all the 3rd party programs that have made map building much easier and enjoyable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BHD release can't be soon enough for me ! but I will wait for a bug free as possible version if it leads to a more enjoyable game ! Chances are as we speak the final version is being pressed and will soon ship to a game shack near you.

Later all

PS ; e-mail me if you want to start an unofficial squad of online buddies. I would like to assemble a loose core of players who have full communications (that is Microphone and speakers\headphones) and wants to focus on multi coop or DM as a team effort.

Yep, the ability to play custom maps with ease is definetly one of the best things about DF. Other games require the client as well as the host to install large files.

Even if they took that away, somebody will be able to get around it - they always do.

[Sorcerer]

Yes, you have to have the mod, the TDMM_xxx named maps work for me. Only I couldn't get TDMM_01a to work, when i renamed it to TDMM_01e it packs and I can load it. TKOTH also works I know for sure. I packed the maps using the PFF extractor and Packit.exe both seemed to work.

[Sorcerer]

I have not tried loading the original stock maps from the first demo, only custom maps made for the first demo.

I dunno about mapping and stuff like that .... but with the Devilsclaws mod I been playin on the EWE server and it's definitly great fun
