Map idea: Flaktum

[Andreas]

Hi again.
 I have an idea for a map: A urban map, with a HUGE "flakturm" (or "flaktower") in the middle. The flakturm will be a huge concrete bunker like strukture you can't enter like a "normal" structure and can't destroy (or at least it should be VERY hard to do so). Instead it will be empty in the middle so you can get troops, tanks and other stuff in there, like the huge halls in Panzer Krieg and the map "carpiquet".

  The map should be a huge 8 player map, and it should be possible to build flak 38 and flak 36 on top like IRL, to make a huge area denial zone.

 Either: The tower should be in the middle of the map. It will be a very important strategic point.
 Or: The germans start with their HQs inside the flakturm, and have to defend it. The flaktowers were some of the last standing areas of berlin so it wouldn't be out of place..

 I dont know if it is possible to make. But i think it will be very nice, if it is.

Cheers!

Hi Frank
 This looks very nice! It could be nice to see this added to a map, or is it possible to do for miself?

Wow. Das "Ding" sieht großartig aus.

Looks great.

Hallo,

Ich kann die Karte hochenladen, oder einen "Stamp" machen oder wie das im Worldbuilder heißt (Karte ist nicht fertig).
I can upload the map, or make a "stamp" or whatever it's called the World Builder (Map is not finished).

Mit freundlichem Gruß, Frank

I would be happy if you could do so, so i can copy it to another map.

Thank you very much

Please upload the whole map so that we can finish it as we please and stamp what we want. I'm sure maxi will finish this map.

Hey Frank!
Wie heißt die Karte eigentlich?
Die sieht spektakulär aus. Ich würde (wenn es möglich ist) diese Karte gerne in der Kampagne verwende. Auf diese Weise würde sie sicherlich allen zu Gute kommen.

Hey Frank!
What's the maps name?
It looks absolutly amazing. I would like to adapt this map (if it is possible) to the campagin so everybody would have something of it.

It's interesting what people can create just using in-game assets, this is pretty cool

If you make a campaign map, can you release the map then for multiplayer and skirmish use?

[HerrVoss]

I think I can make a new Berlin map out of this using the one that playmobil and I made. It would not be a replacement but a supliment to it but with identical map design, just rearranged around the flak tower.

We are planning on releasing all campagin maps for MP, too.

[beagletank]

Wow, the map looks really great. A public upload would be nice.

Nice to hear.

I think this picture shows some very huge potential, for stuff like flaktowers bunker etc. Im excited to see what kind of maps people will come up with!

To all of you, requesting the map: It isn't finished and I don't think it's worth uploading. But I can give yo the stamp of the Flakturm, if you want. Simply place it here:

Code: [Select]

C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\ww2\Data\WBData\Stamps\TemporaryIf this directory doesn't exist, create it.
To use it on your maps, simply open the stamp tool, check every box under "Filters", select the flakturm stamp in the "temporary" directory and place it with a rightclick. You may want to adjust the height of the flakturm because the stamp contains some surrounding terrain.
You can download the flakturm.stamp here.
