Map error

[samarobriva]

Hello on the map Les Forges, there 's a mistake on a building which is indicated as a Level 2. But in fact it's a 1 Level structure

[squadleader_id]

From the shadows...that building should be coded as Level 2.
Nice find, samarobriva!

[RD Oddball]

Got it.  Thanks!

Another Map Note // Small Maps don’t match up with the Big Maps for Uncle Red and Tare Green they seem to be backwards.

[RD Oddball]

Yeah we caught that one after the release.  Thanks for pointing it out all the same.

Found this playing the Isigny map.
Very minor coding glitches on the small map items (sandbags, equipments and stuff)...and a couple of noticeable coding errors.

A haulded out boat on it's side undergoing hull repair would hardly be class as a Wreck, at least in the boat owner's eyes.  Perhaps there need to be a new Element.txt file element for beached boats called "SS Minnow".

I know, Drill...but there's another upturned boat (a much smaller boat) on the other side of the same map coded as "wreck".
"SS Minnow" is way better than "wood fence" [;)]

Here another one. In fact to me that can't be a a coded map !!!!
There's everything from shallow water to deep water
Barbed wire are trenches sometimes bushes and so on....

The map Saint Pierre du Mont

Tested with the Update Release-DR55001b

[squadleader_id]

Hmm...looks like the patch messed up Saint Pierre du Mont...the new map code file is wrong!  My guess would be a mixup with the Pointe du Hoc codes (INPDH.txt)...Saint Pierre du Mont's is INPDHil.txt.
I remember vividly bloody battles of Rangers vs Osttruppen on this map before the patch...and the codes were fine before...no strange coding errors.

Temporary fix if you kept backup of unpatched CCTLD (I always do before installing beta patches [;)])...just replace the new Saint Pierre du Mont map code file (INPDHil.txt) with the old/unpatched file.

[samarobriva]

yes you're right that's the one

[RD Oddball]

I'll fix this in the final patch.  Thanks for pointing it out.

Sainte mère église
It is a church not a cathedral.
The place on front of the church have trees.
There are trees around the place as well as houses in the upper place of the square.

to see the actual size
The church is on the right side of the picture

Not really bugs I know !!

Interesting...
Here's the original CC5 maps of St. Mere Eglise:


And here's the CCTLD version:

Sainte Mere Eglise, 6 June 1944 - Aerial Photo:

[Greup]

When we're on a bitching strreak: One thing that have always bothered me with most (if not all) historic CC* maps is the location of the sun which normally is totally off AFAIK. It seems as if the light falls from north on most maps (like is the standard on many topographical real-world maps). But CC maps aren't abstracted maps but attempts to portrait a top/aerial view of the actual terrian.

Just take a look at the above aerial 1944 photo and compare it to the CCTLD rendering: The world suddenly turned upside down and the sun is shining from north-west! I find this very annoying and a poor design decision. I can't see why we need to play on maps where it's about 10-11pm and full sunlight (or the world has rotated) .

Ah well...in some games you'll get 1980-ies air-conditioners in early 1940's Stalingrad, 1970'ies hayrolls in WWII Soviet, so I guess I shouldn't moan about the world rotating some 180 degrees... [:'(]

That's a better picture
and the actual size


and the actual size
actual picture

So it appears to be quite different than from the actual map. The very deadly clean zone doesn't exist around the church.
Note all the pictures issued by LIFE for Sainte Mère Eglise on the net have to flipped. have a look at the clock[:D]
Anyway the new map is much much much better than the one we had before. But the accuracy can be increased as so many pictures have been taken in that period.

@squadleader Where did you got that Spot picture ?
@Greup

the sun is shining from north-west

To me it's almost noon. But on CCTLD the sun is shining from the North

Like this?

[Andrew Williams]

Hasn't the Brecourt video got the shadows flipped?

[samarobriva]

Some walls are not on the right place.
It looks like a coding error on Sainte Mère Eglise
