...for their comments & ideas on the GPG mapping-forum and
alpha / beta testing the map before it was published.

sweet! glad to see this hit official release

Yeah, Downloading it would love to play it against you .

Hm, that's odd. It says now "NO PREVIEW", "NO MAP SIZE INFORMATION" and "NO START POINTS DEFINED" when I select it in skirmish, and I can't start to play it. What happened there?

//never mind, I downloaded it again from supcomsource and now it works

Awesome and beautiful map. And it runs surprisingly well on my small PC, too! Looking forward to see more maps from you, sveno.

Nice job sveno.

Sorry i could not get back to you more regarding the ai jurying testing, Spent the last week involved in a funeral.

Cheers on the release.....

i did alot of lastminute-stuff (resorting heightmaps again), i'm glad they all turned out well

@ yacoub

i pressed the realease on beginning of eastern (could have worked on the texture-map like forever, but at some point...). hope you like the map.

@ Dark

sorry, don't play multiplayer other then lan or skirmish (for the time being, as i like HUGE games and couldn't finish a single on of them in multiplayer due to supcom crashes )

@ Spooky

almost got nervous reading your post there
nice you got it right the second time

@ Aralez

yes, cutting out decals and a great deal of the props to smothen the play.
next map will be something around 20x20 or 30x15... i see smaller bases in dirt in my mind, lets see what comes
wanna do something witch an AI can become scary on - maybe you have some insights?

Awesome map, more of those please

Thanks

@ RailRider

my sympathies and thanks, i hope you enjoy the play!

@ Zoolis

thank you, within a few days there should be a new [in work]-thread

I shall be forcing this map upon DI tonight for extensive testing +_+
will let you know how she flies.

@ Lael

hehe, thank you had no chance to test this against the LAN-group i usually battle, as they are working on getting bored with C&C3 - shouldn't take too long tho

Excellent map. Played it against the Jaws2002 AI, which (after nearly 6 hours) was able to annihilate me by guessing where my buildings were (he couldn't get scouts through) and hitting them with 5 nukes at a time, then 12 nukes at a time, until I was dead... I'll definitely be playing this map often

dang, got pretty everything right with this map, but not the friggin name!

it is "Battle Isles R1" not "Battles Isles R1"

it stricked to me whilst saving R2....

expect an update to version 1.1 after R2 is done... texture and name update....

Whoa.. Come back after playing Eve for a bit and find the map all pimped out!

Had a couple of my Eve buddies come over with thier rigs after I convinced them to buy SupCom and had a nice little 3 player 1 AI FFA with this map.. It was a blast..

Keep up the good work!

hi, the sveno download does not show preveiew or start positions etc

try to download it again, seems like your download is corrupted...

Sounds like the map is in two sub-folders in the maps folder, something like this:
../maps/scmp_sveno01_oszygp9p3j5k/SCMP_sveno01
instead of this:
../maps/SCMP_sveno01

I renamed a bunch of the maps in my map directory to show their in game names on their folders. I lost use of those maps until I renamed them back to normal.

have asked over at RTSC to delete my maps, because their naming convention is bugging SupCom-maps big time (install differs from description, due to dual zips)

... and furthermore i cannot update my records over there.

Doesn't work. I put it in the correct folder but it doesn't show up ingame at all.

Sveno didn't update his maps for the new patch yet.

update is inbound, check again after the weekend, wanted only to do one update for both skirmish and norush (and visual tweaks).

if you have suggestions for change, fire away

I've been pitting myself against a team of three supreme AIs on this map with these mods in effect:

Siege Shields (just about skilled enough to not need them anymore)
Construction Assist Towers
Enhanced Experimentals (Fatboy, Czar, Monkeylord, Colossus)

The beefed up Czar in the hands of an AI is very tough to kill without it running into a bank of SAMS, so this map is very much a leaner towards the "Turtler" when using those mods.

I just love this map.

Updated, is R1 now patchprooooof

@ lostmachine
cool, those nanotowers from ol' TAUIP?

*happy big time, downloads*

You haven't tried them yet? They're pretty cool, though they don't move like the ones from TAUIP, which I used to move from place to place with Atlas transports but they are still very useful. If you're not careful, you can cause yourself some serious nano-lag trying to churn out early experimentals. Balance ... be willing to turn them off sometimes. I know, it's tough.

I know this isn't the mod thread, but here:
