This actually looks like it might be fun to play. That village would be difficult to get to.

Thanks Jmaker. I hope it is fun to play, but its hard to tell in singleplayer testing. One of the reasons I wanted to make a map is control. If something doesn't play right, I have control to tweak as needed.

I did remove the barricades tonight and fixed some terrain gaps. I've added some "holes" near most fenses to make them duckable.

Once TacMod 1.1 is released with the effects pack I will be adding as much of those as I can.

New version coming in the next few days.

Shiner , maybe I'm missing something, but the download link in wiki did not work for me.

The link "Current Version: Alpha v.03 Download Now Updated: 05/01/2006 " returns a "The page cannot be found" error message

Shiner, how is the map coming along?

**Shiner** · 06-09-2006, 02:48 PM

Hey thanks for asking Drunken... I ended up moving hosts for my personal website; combined with a playoff run for the Mavericks I've not been able to spend any time on development. Now that we are releasing a TacMod Map Pack I and looking towards a Map Pack II with Killrog, asch's and my maps I will need to get back to it. I think the map is pretty set with statics and CP locations and just need to get back in with a sharp eye for details on the terrain and undergrowth.

I'll get the latest version zipped up and uploaded this weeked. I really appreciate your feedback and help guys!

We're waiting for the final version.

It's pretty final

. I haven't heard of anyone finding bug reports or major things they didn't like so... I've been spectating a lot of the small games happening on server 2 and (surprisingly) the gameplay doesn't need much tweaking. I fixed the bleed last night and sent Asch a link to the 1.2 version. The only thing I would add are the custom billboards but couldn't you just update that with the tacmod installer in a future version?

I'll bring this up on the dev forums... I think supporting custom objects in custom maps could make the TacMod really start to stand out from the pack.

V4 is now updated and uploaded:

custom objects/textures/everything are supported on a per-map basis. You don't need a mod anymore. I finished my map a bit ago Shiner

**DrunkenSoul** · 06-20-2006, 07:17 PM

I did a brief run through of the map, I like the changes from .3.

How do you enable the game to start in a local server? I tried "sv.numPlayersNeededToStart 1" and it didnt work.

I haven't gotten that command to work either.. usually I have to load it up on my second computer and join that way.

**Kilrogg** · 06-20-2006, 08:48 PM

sv.numplayersneededtostart 1 works for me...i do it all lowercase, maybe its that.

**Shiner** · 06-21-2006, 12:17 PM

I did get it to work last night with caps.. i must have just been misspelling it.

**Shiner** · 07-06-2006, 09:34 PM
