Umm Qasr Harbor
10:12 PM CST 7/9/2003
Thank you for downloading "DC Umm Qasr Harbor" for Desert Combat .38d!
This (DC Umm Qasr Harbor) is a work in progress, and I gladly accept comments,
suggestions! (contact information of author at bottom of page...)
****************************
INSTALLATION:
Please place the "DC_Umm_Qasr_Harbor.rfa" in
> Battlefield 1942/Mods/DesertCombat/Archives/bf1942/levels
You will see that all of the other DesertCombat maps are in this directory
(DC_LostVillage.rfa, DC_Al_Khafji_Docks.rfa,...etc.)
****************************
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
DC Umm Qasr Harbor is intended for use in Desert Combat version .4 (upon its
release). It will not be COMPLETELY finished until that time.
I do, however, welcome any tips and bug findings for this .38 version!
****************************
What needs to be done for DC Umm Qasr Harbor's DC .4 release:
-Objects to appear in minimap
-Object Shadows
-Perhaps Some Object Lightmaps
-DC .4 Vehicles to be added (of course!)
-Bug fixes, and some changes as per requests
****************************
Known Flaws in DC Umm Qasr Harbor:
-Somewhat choppy even with a good video device (GF4 Ti4600) in the
"Mountain Village" control point.
-Land appears in the middle of the Persian Gulf (at the edges of the map when
flying over the water) OH NO! This is due to the fact that BF maps
tile themselves to the sides and top like a checker board. Therefore
It is not possible to have the appearance of water going on for miles
unless water is on ALL edges of the map. (as in Midway, and Guadalcanal)
-Several objects may not be placed accurately yet (too far into the ground,
or too far up -creating a gap)
-Spawn points for coalition AC-130 and Naval fleet are confusing and not displayed
accurately in the game. The Navy (any and all ships) spawn points seem to
interfere with themselves AND the spawn of the AC-130. This is unavoidable
as the spawns cannot be fixed at this time.
