[EF] Berlin 1945 (8)

i think reichstag has to much damage, in real life it held up pretty well. i think a little less damage on the sides and the front. and maybe some statues and a rubble debris on the top and around. Also some rubble barricades and light defenses around it to, maybe a destroyed flak? anyway good work  ;)

Zoo is epic. I'm gonna use Tigers and Panthers there...

Maus and Löwe.. ;)

I am sorry for the lack of updates, I am trying to do this one right and am currently working on other mapping projects. Rest assured, it will be released before Ostheer. ;)

Is it possible to make a bigger reichstag, make a free big place in front of it and remove the brandenburggate?

As the map is based on real Berlin brandenburggate and reichstag were not next to each other.

I would have to do some major rearranging, as the massive road that leads out of the brandenburg gate would need to be moved right. It is possible, but not a priority at the moment. When the map is completely finished, I will play around with it and let you know.

i think you should re-name the map to Central Berlin because of other berlin maps that are based on it.

I think Berlin 1945 is a good fit because it encompasses so much of the battle and is being used by several mods. Stay tuned for an update in the next couple minutes.

Hello EF Community!
Here is the most complete beta yet. I really is an epic map and funnest with VP mod on 1000.
Lots of minor changes everywhere, and some major changes in the city ruins:
- Cityscape 90% completed,
- Zoo added,
- a factory also added,
- rail network improved on allies side,
- and Tiergarten Park is now mostly done.
The only remaining 'beta' area is the Reichstag neighborhood, which is still quite nude for now. otherwise, most of the unmapped holes have been filed up.

Thank you so much guys for all your support on this, and sorry again for the delay constant delays between updates, I do to much.

i see right on the minimap?
you removed the brandenburger gate? its now on the non playable area?

It may be a stupid Q but I am dying to ask it

Will the zoo have any animals? Dead ones?

@ evilSpike
The Brandenburg Gate has always been off map. Just play the map and it makes sense.

@ Tankbuster
Sorry, no animals. Maybe at a later time?

yeh i think you should get rid of the Brandenburg gate, it should be on a seperate map?

meeh

maybe just move it to the side so its not the neighbor to the reichstag, and it will be perfect  ;D But this map looks sick allready (jugdeing from the screens)

Play the map, the placement works.

played the map, everything is good, but one thing for eye candy, you need to add damage to the accessories on buildings when necessary

Just give me a few examples, because I do not know what you are talking about.

the building south of the reichstag is heavily damaged but all the windows are still intact, same with the doors and other things.

here is the roof i would like too see on the reichstag something like this i made

I could add that to the map once it's decided to be included ;)

;D :D Yes please!!!!

But before you do that i want you to have better Reichstag accessories instead of custom made roof made of fences, and a taller Perimeter

Why are you hating on my fence post??? Just kidding, I agree.

First post has been updated with the most recent download and pictures.

what are the changes?

come on it is a nice map, maybe one of the most beautiful maps.
i can not wait for the next patch to comes out so I can play this incredible map.
unfortunately I can not figure out how to download and install maps :-\, but I can wait.
Does anyone have an idea when the next patch comes, it must be soon but how soon months, weeks, days, does anyone know or have any idea?

nice to know this map is playable now!  ;D gonna try it out!

@ mattdamon07

The changes are numerous and include making the middle bridge a land bridge, adding Mr. Scruffs Flak tower, adding Reichstag beauty (thanks to you), and little details to make it final.

And about the patch, I wouldn't prepare to wait to long 8)

So you basically uploaded my edited version? :P

Was that bad ??? I'm sorry about that :-\ Would you like me to take it down?

Nah, leave it was it is ;) Just somehow thought that you continued it on your own because I didn't see my name anywhere :P
Everything is fine :)

Huh, I already had a clean shot sight... but looks like it wasn't needed :P.

You have been credited fine sir ;)

Its actually easy, When you have finished the download, put the SGA map file in this location Home>Documents>mygames>companyofheroes>ww2>Scenarios>MP and it should show up in any company of heroes game including mods  ;)

Completely wrong, sorry  :-X This is the correct path:

C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Company of Heroes\WW2\Scenarios

You can copy-paste the path and it will lead you to the correct folder in Windows Explorer.

only by one,

gentlemen, i have a new favorite map.

I came looking for a new map and download it...
But when I opened the CoH and looked at the file,although the name is "Berlin 1945",but the map itself is same to the Berlin map that comes default with the patch EF.Is it just me or what?

The file size is 11.0+ MB IIRC.I downloaded the map from the first page.Is it just me or what ???.

Thanks for the nice map,on a side note.

Sorry about the confusion on the name, its the one that will replace the current Berlin map that comes with the mod with the new patch.

That's because EF Berlin and this version share file names, a "feature" I implemented due to the fact that this version will replace the old Berlin. So instead of this custom map, the EF map is loaded.

Thank you.I finally get what happened.

But is it possible to play the custom version now instead of playing the old Berlin map?
I know this Berlin 1945 is supposed to replace Berlin,but I don't see anything on the map identical to the picture on the first page.I do played this map before you updated the first page.I used the 0.47 by that time.

Actually this map resembles how Berlin really looks like - take these pictures as comparison:

why is it that people dont want to play this map? bad pathfinding?  it it too small for a 4v4?

map is fine. Problem is in the textures - my PC can easilly run 4v4 game on many maps, but on Berlin it's performance drops severly and CTDs are common.

that sucks. i really like this map.

We're working on a solution for the next version (:

What is it? Just wondering because I am kind of in charge of the production of the EF version of this map.

Best would be asking Maxi for details.
