Harrington aka dod_bayeux

I know its a bit late, but the harrington remake came out today. I know i speak for a lot of people when i say that harrington was a great map in 1.3 and i'm sure it will be great in source. Could it be given a chance? maybe replacing one of the default maps... this comp seems to be leading the way with custom map trials.. so include harrington?

Venteux_final out , dod_bayeux_b1 in plz

+dod_bayeux
-dod_venteux

I had a run-through on Venteux, and I get the feeling that it would be a bad war map. Probably a fun pub map if that's what you're in to, but it's completely unsuitable for warring.

I support the change Venteux isn't verry good at all upon having a run arround on it.

dod_bayeux_b1 does look to be a great map.

you can have a look for your self here:

ust to make things clear: I failed.

the problem: FramePerSecond

The thing is, most players play with dxlevel 90 (+ Shader: High): with this graphic settings the fps are 20-30
Unfortunately i always tested the map with dxlevel 81 (cause i also play with that dxlevel). Thats why i realised this error so late

But i am not a person who just say: hey there is a problem, i can t finish it. You can test it yourself und you will agree with me that this map is unplayable because of the awful fps.

:S

its fine

i tested it on shaders high and dx9

its the mapmakers video drivers that fail ok

rtv

agreed rtv

Make a vote of some kind.

"dod_bayeux_b1 is a remake of the classic dod_harrington and its not a competitive map"

That guy's English is totally borked; any remake of dod_harrington IS a competitive map, as Harrington was probably the most popular 1.3 war map behind Anzio.

An ok looking map, Only thing I have to say is it's got glitchy FPS and some areas drop FPS heaps, And the gate by Axis that opens / closes, if its open and you walk into it you get stuck and eventually trying to get unstuck crashes the game after a while...

Maybe its just my PC

Doesnt seem so, a lot of the people that commented had FPS issues.

BT check ur pms plz

I would prefer if I didnt have posts like these:

I want why, not 'add this, get rid of this.' I will just assume that you havent played it or you just like this other map better beause you can.

I have a 3.5 year old computer, and I get better frames on Bayeux than on Anzio bridge.

Mine has screwed up FPS every 1 second like stuttering. But meh, Not like I'm playing in this tournament.

And that thing with the gate, If its opened in-wards (like going into Axis spawn) and you walk into it the way it closes, It tries to close but your standing there and can't and thats when your screwed. I tried proning and jumping trying to get out but the game just crashed.

Bored ftw.

FrantiC - try this: Go to your task manager, and, when you've loaded up Day of Defeat: Source, try setting hl2.exe's priority to "low".

It made my game run a lot better. You have to do that everytime you load the game up.

Nah doesn't help. I'm just thinking, This map may be real shit with novacap running too..

NovaCap shouldn't make an impact on your framerate.

I used Octinium for a few games last season, and noticed no changes; again, my computer is bad, and I think that Octinium is slightly more of a resource hog than NovaCap.

well whatever gets the job done i suppose...
