Not sure how many Opposing Fronts players we have here, if there are any they'll definitely enjoy some of my maps.

Biffys Peril

Basic idea for this map was to create something similar to a map in Dawn Of War of the same name, where 4 players start in the corner and must control the middle to eventually win the game. Both sides have a footbridge to their ally, making joint defense easier.

French Town

This was one of my first maps for Company Of Heroes. I used the original WorldBuilder package for this one, so its fine for the original game, and should work no problems under Opposing Fronts (99% sure its ok)

Mainly an infantry map, with narrow streets and troop only areas, so no tank rushing! Enjoy

Hill Siege

Hill Siege is a 2v2 LAN/Skirmish map, where the Axis control a supply depot on top of a large mountain, with winding routes, entrenched bunkers and defensive terrain.

The Allies, having landed nearby must rumble through farm land to the hill for a direct assault. With two main approaches up the hill for tanks and other vehicles, there are also a few infantry only routes to keep the gameplay interesting.

Ive spent about 20 hours creating this map excluding testing, hopefully somebody will enjoy it

Dex made a map? Cool. I'll have to try it out.

Is that a pile of dead people?

Hell yeah Yunk I love mapping, I have a few others ill post up if people like.

And yes Waffles, that is a pile of dead people, or as I like to call it, a death pit.

If the V-SAT server will let me, I'm on it like white on rice in the middle of a glass of milk in a snow storm... Dex, don't let me down, now...

I'll have to install it and start playing again.

Seconded. Looks great Dex, good work

Hope it plays well for you GPN

Forgot the mention the map should also run perfectly on the original game, although I havn't tested that.

I know it's been a bit since the last post, I've had some issues to deal with in the meantime, but I want to make sure that I get it all installed correctly...

Dumb it down for me, Dex, where to put what file, so I don't end up farking it all up, please?

If Dex would like, this thread can be stickied, and title edited to be "Dex's CoH map thread"

Sounds good to me Yunk, I found another couple of maps ive made in the past so ill add them later

GPN: I assuming this is the first custom map you've ever tried, so heres a little help

1. First off, open the Properties of your Opposing Fronts shortcut, the one you use to launch the game. Add "-dev" without quotes to the end of the target line, so it looks like this:



2. Navigate to your Opposing Fronts game folder and put ALL the files in the rar into \WW2\Data\Scenarios\MP (you might have to create the Scenarios and MP folders yourself, but it will work)



Just to be clear, you need to put the files in the MP folder, not make a new folder for individual maps, that won't work. I only have some of mine in folders so I can edit maps I download without affecting the original download.

3. Once thats done, fire up the game and the map should appear in the list for Skirmishes

You might also want to create a separate shortcut without the "-dev" as this puts the game in developer mode, so if you want to play online, you'll only be able to play with other people using dev mode, which in my experience is a pretty large number of people anyway.

Have fun

Awesome! Ok, gonna go give it a whirl now... rep to ya for the detailed explanation

BTW: Not the first custom map ever, but lately some of the maps I've downloaded (CNC3), you had to put them in the individual user's folder within C:/Windows/Users/(user)/etc... PITA, IMO.

Added a new map

I really hope I get Opposing Fronts for Xmas. Still haven't found a strategy game as good as COH. C+C3 gets very boring after a while.

We'll have to LAN these maps next time I'm over

Another new map added, Biffys Peril

Dear GOD, man, SLOW DOWN, would ya? I can barely keep up with the first two yet...

J/K, keep them maps coming, bro, and at least one of us will keep downloading and playing them...

BTW:

What was that 6-player map that had the three bridges that you could blow up?

Just a personal favorite of RTSs of mine, fight to blow the bridges, then build up your force, storm across newly-repaired bridges, and stomp te ever-loving snot out of your enemy...

Glad you're enjoying them bro

Are you referring to a Company Of Heroes map? Theres plenty like that, I could even edit my Hill Siege map if you like that kinda thing?

Yeah, it was one of the original maps...

Name was French (wonder why?), it was a 6-player map, and it had three bridges. Don't fret too much over it, I've actually been playing CoD4 and Crysis more lately, but I have snuck in a CoH and C&C3 game here and there... Just keep forgetting to check the maps, and/or remember the name of the map...

Oh yesssss...those are the best kind of maps. I know which map you mean but I can't remember what it was called.
