This thread is to organize some thoughts about including new maps, vehicles and skins in the DCG mod. The idea would be to include these items along with the required support files in the next DCG release. I'm not a mapmaker or skinner/modelmaker, but some excellent work has been done in these areas that has been offered for use in this mod. This thread was requested by one of the other modders who has generously offered to help, so I'll let him add additional info, if he chooses.
Indeed, the desert war contents would be nice, wit h the grant and matilda etc. some new halftracks with mortars would be cool to. But maybe some more tankdestroyers? we've got the hetzer...but a jagdpanzer would be nice or the achilles. Even a m12 or m40 GMC would be nice, but i guess that would create some unfair advantages... hope so see an update soon!
Awesome pics you show there! I see you're looking for mappers, and i might want to make some maps. I can do maps and i enjoy it. Although, i don't know how to make the mission file and i'm not good at scripting. But before i might can start mapping for you if you're interested i must finish my map for the contest first. I also got annother map that i've been working on for months (not 24/7) that is almost done. But that one doesnt matter if i get orders from you, but the contest map does.
Here is what i've been so far in my mapping time: (check last posts, first post not updated).
it just got through my mind that it would be nice to be able to choose the map for your next mission manualy cuz we know alot of maps dont match the time period and it will be lovely to know that if you want to fight in the desert you wont end up in russia hehe
Mushroomcar: I'm always looking for nice new maps!
PantherV1990: look for vecchiounno's version of the DCG - I think that allows you to choose the map.
Everyone: I've been slow with updates lately due to work, family, computer problems - the usual... I'd like to spend any time I have on the code for DCG, but I'd also really like to get these maps and models/skins packaged up for use with DCG. If anyone is interested in doing the packaging and coordination part (you'll have to know FoW files pretty well), post here or send me a pm. (That will be subject to the approval of the other contributors, of course.)
Sorry to dissappoint you guys, but all vehicles will be released first when the next DCG version comes out. Thre are a few more surprises too, like a variant of the Tiger I to come along... and the only thing I will say about this one, is that it was the only authorized variant of the Tiger I to see the day... any ideas what it can be? No rewards or anything, just the great feeling of "Yes! I know what he is talking about!"
