guys Here is the moon map.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NcFN9wpFo4StdZZkJgtltJ2kkkWiH4Dg/view
I hope we're going to play these maps on the server we need something new.
like new vehicles new objectives it's what battlefield 1942 is all about always something new to look for.


I'm an old bf1942 player I go far back all the way to 2002
and I also play cnc generals.

Which maps are included in the Japanese mappack - are you talking about those?

one of them is. Attack on pearl harbor. and attack of pearl harbor is same size as operation rattrap or operation varisity. it is posible to play that. it has even less objectives than leyte gulf day 2.
but there aren't any other maps from that post.

Should we also reconsider some maps from that list?
Like:

Jungle in Leyte - we dont have Battle Isle anymore
Battle of the Solomon - I believe our numbers increased so we could try it smile
Attack on Pearl Harbor - we should bring this in. It is the thing that brought Japan and USA to war so pretty much needed map for any WW2 mod. It can be large but even Midway 1942 is large.

What happened to Alpine line 1940? smile

And also:

Warring States Japan
Western Front Mountain
Battle of Khalkhin Gol
The Nebenwerfer Hunt

I would love to see these maps back in the game. Increase the variety smile

Ok guys, first of all:
we need a complete list of all maps included in those mappacks. If you want some project to get done you need to follow certain steps.

Procedure:
1. Create a list of the maps
2. Test those maps on the test server. Are they really needed or are they bad in gameplay? etc.
3. Apply own moddings that have been revealed to be necessary during the testing process
4. Put the chosen maps in our own mappack
5. Spread the word and release the new mappack

And after all that process still only about 60-80% of the players will know about the new maps and the player numbers will decrease by 20-40% every time you set one of them in the first weeks. As you see it is not as easy as it seems in the first. But if we all work together we can get this done and make it a success.

In addition I would suggest a server message like " Attention! We have a new mappack! Check our Webpage" or anything like that.
And of course the advertising and information on our portal.
Maybe anything else?

Thank you Bubu!
Those are a lot of maps. For the testing I suggest to sort them into several groups.

Aye.

New spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreads....sharing
I reorganized the spreadsheet, grouped maps for testing runs in numbers 1-5. Please tell me if u can't access it, I'll change settings, but it should work.

Group "NEED ADVICE" are the maps for which I would like you guys to decide whether to include them or not, with SSMs or not, etc. I didn't check 2 maps, labeled as "didn't check", it might be worth checking them out? smile

Also: All maps from the spreadsheet in one, in total 24 maps, link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Wl-08Vp_oOq-rX0bQCk5pupEWLsr50BN
This is basically a repack so there is no need to download 4 separate files and no need to replace stuff smile

As Tropical pointed out...
Please, make sure you put .bik files to /Mods/FHSW/music folder.
Map files (.rfa) go into /Mods/FHSW/Archives/bf1942/levels folder.

EDIT:

Test server on port 14568 is now running all of these maps, except the Moon map and the Battle of Khalkin Gol. The Moon is currently Work in Progress and Khalkin Gol needs testing while people who can restart the server are online in case the map crashes the server. Everyone, please feel to download and test the maps for yourself.
Password for test server is "TEST" without quotation marks.

I fully agree. We can do that now so we will get more people testing the maps OR we can do this after testing phase. I prefer doing it after testing phase.

Awesome bubu wow! very cool, I would like to see all these maps working and ready to be played, we can set a day to tester the maps that must be corrected and make sure everything is okay.

Kakazu_Ridge-1945, this map is very nice it needs to be returned and fixed!

The_Nebelwerfer_Hunt 1944, I played a few times on this map but it's one of the coolest maps I've ever played on fhsw.

On_the_moon-1969, this would be amazing again !!!

Well most of these maps I've never played but I'm looking forward to doing this for the first time!

Haha, yep. But I disabled the map so it is not in the cycle yet as I wrote in the message above: "Test server on port 14568 is now running all of these maps, except the Moon map and the Battle of Khalkin Gol. The Moon is currently Work in Progress..." smile

Ahhh! Didn't know that!  happy It is really confusing because it also had that sort of a ramp that V1 was launched from.

Haha and it is actually 1:1 remake of the same map in MOHAA... I am really super hyped about that  biggrin  Because I really loved MOHAA. It was revolutionary game in its times and I have many memories from that game. And my first ever online friend comes from that game and this Canadian actually taught me how to write English on xfire back then. I wish I could ever meet her again for old times sakes...  happy enough of ranting from me though haha smile

haha yeah, that's why I thought it is V1 biggrin

Map testing: Guys, let's hold first of the map testing sessions. I would be very happy to have testing on this Saturday, 29th, let's say starting 5pm and we could test the maps from test cycle 1. If time permits, maybe cycle 2 as well?
What do you guys think? Who is available, who isn't, let's plan this so we can release this as soon as possible smile

Pearl harbor changes?

There are 8 cruisers, 1 liberty ship and 2 torpedo boats in that map. Can we replace 4 cruisers with 3 battleships and Louisville cruiser?

Then there are these problems: Axis side they have spawnplanes on the sky at top corners of the map and they are only Aichi D3a ''val'' dive bombers. Axis also used Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers in the map I think we should replace some spawn dive bombers with kate torpedoplanes.

Also Axis used 6 aircraft carriers on the map. Now I found only 2 maybe we should add more perhaps Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu?

As you might know those 8 cruisers were the targets of the 2nd Japanese attack wave. If you want to change the ship layout it should get done in a historical accurate way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6cz9gtMTeI

Marduk all the ships in the battleship row where battleships should be are cruisers. I think map is not very accurate now.
