*	Story:					*
*-----------------------------------------------*

General Kartoffel and his loyal men are still
fighting for the Vaterland altough it's 1945 and
the F?rher just committed suicide. Kartoffel and
some of his fellow men are now trying to clean up
their records and some salary notes are situated
in the cellar of castle blackwood. The only
problem is that the allies control the castle...

*-----------------------------------------------*
*	Mission:				*
*-----------------------------------------------*

The axis needs to escort a tank through a forest
and get inside Castle Blackwood. They will then
need to siphone diesel from their tank and
take the diesel to the cellar and set the secret
documents on fire.

*	Fun Facts :D				*
*-----------------------------------------------*

The bush near the upper cave in the middle (over the river)
uses model scale 3.14 as a reference to the famous number of
circles.

The whole maps bsp structure is fitted inside a space that is
16384 units times 12288 units which gives the diagonal  of 20480
units this is actually an egyptical triangle with the sides:
3, 4 and 5 it's just 4096 times bigger ;)

The tank uses 128 splines :D hihihihihihihihi :P

All terrain is handmade which gives the map a very organic
feel, it also makes it possible to reduce the amount of
running between spawns and objectives

I was listening to "Four Tops" while making the terrain
around the first tank barrier.

The house in the beginning of the map was originally going
to be a farm house in a fragmap but was later adopted to be
a part of the trashed map S.C.A.R. (secret cargo at Rhein).
The house was finally recycled as a prefab after 2 years on
google drive.

Half of the terrain was constructed during the spring when my
gaming computer was down due to messed up setting for the over
volting (It's overclocked but it did lose the settings due to
a power outage)(it was down for two weeks btw)... But then I
was back playing CS and deaging silvers in the face with my
crimson weeb :) (...)   ...   (.)(.) :P

Imported tankscript from UJE clan's website and
made fully functional testmap, everything seems
to work fine. Contacted the Author of the
Jagdtiger to see if I can get permission to use
his tank model. Started to work on the castle
as a prefab.

2018-01-24 (12:50)

Got automated answer for the mail to the author
of the jagdtiger, His mail is no longer used.
Looking at other options such as a regular
tiger.

2018-01-24 (13:20)

Cleaned up in wolf:ET install and added doa
(health ammo crates) models and SimonOC's tree
models into pk3 for the map.
Decided to use the ischbinz tiger tank so
downloaded it, now a bit confused since it's
almost 20 models, maybe it's the vert limits
that forced him into making many smaller

2018-01-25 (12:20)

Because of the extensive problems with shaders
and tags I decided to use Detoeni's tiger
instead.
I did put all the dt_tiger models together with
attachtotag, using a script mover in the turret
so I can rotate the cannon with the clip later.
was a bit confuse why it didn't work at first as
the churchill model was still showing up.
appearently I forgot about the changemodel in
the script (tanks get damaged, changing model).

2018-01-25 (18:00)

Made the wall with the stair section for the
castle. Might need to get all shaders set up
for Simonoc's tree models and grass blending
so I can work further on the ground inside the
castle

2018-01-26 (09:20)

Made the basic structure for the tower,
included hole for toilet.

2018-01-26 (10:10)

finished the loo / toilet that goes down into
the moat xD

2018-01-26 (11:00)

Downloaded and added simonOC's medieval and
terrain textures into the pk3, beginning to
work on all the shaders with vertical blends
for the cliffs and the skull waterfall close
to the castle

2018-01-26 (14:00)

finished the front wall of the castle. it will
need some props and the tower will need a roof.
I'll have to finish the shaders first and change
the textures to SimonOC's medieval pack at first

2018-01-27 (12:30)

chaged all textures to simonOC's medieval pack,
added door to the loo and finished the top of
the tower. maybe I'll add a roof on top of the
tower instead of just archer posts

2018-02-14 (10:47)

worked on the roof of the tower and the
medieval building that is going to have a
walkway into the middle building (over axis
spawn exit).

2018-03-20 (15:26)

finished the tower connecting to the main building,
started to work on the floor plan of said building
and finihed the wall. Imported the castle into
the main map file with the working tank.
Installed the conifee tree models by -)A(-WuTang.

2018-03-20 (16:37)

layed out the end of the tank waypoints.

2018-03-21 (12:45)

did set the mapcoordsmins and maxs and finished
all of the tank waypoints for the final layout.
experimented with different skyboxes and
lightning for the castle.

2018-04-03 (00:30)

finished the bridge and started to think of how
the horse stable and wall should be completed.

2018-04-30 (20:00)

worked on a skull structure for the cave opening
that goes into the moat.

2018-05-01 (07:00)

finished the wall and edited the mapcoords to
include possible commandpost route. added
dt_aa_mm, raybans barrels and new foliage models
to the library.

2018-05-01 (08:00)

added the scar house to CBW's main map file,
compiled and took development screenshot 01
added new textures to the terrain around the house.
lowered the terrain under the walkway to give
more space for the gunner on the tank.

2018-05-01 (09:00)

had to lower the terrain a bit further and make a
small wall to avoid a steep slope next to the
path.

2018-05-01 (10:00)

wrote more terrain shaders and debugged them.
added the water for the lake, thinking if I
will have different elevation on the lake and
the moat or not. will work further on the skull
cave that connects them in 1.6.3 the upcoming
hour.

2018-05-01 (10:50)

finished the front of the skull cave but still
have a lot of work left with the inside. trying
to figure out where the bridge in the cave should
be and how I should make the bigger cavity.
prolly gonna have to import into the main map
so it get connected nicely and naturally with
the castle wall.

2018-05-01 (12:00)

placed caulk walls and skybox around the map
together with some hints to shape the VIS
structure of the map. will not make a big lake
anymore as that will be challenging if I want
a good vis structure.

2018-05-02 (10:00)

made a lot of terrain between the house and
axis first spawn, figured the tank will start
in a small carport like stable connected to a
smaller static house.

2018-05-02 (13:00)

made the house with carport for the tank.
scripted so people can't mount the gun when
it's inside the carport. took development
screenshot 2. added trees next to the carport
will now add bushes and other foliage/prop
models in the area.

2018-05-03 (05:00)

added the prefab "hovel" that I downloaded
from devilsrighthandsmapping.

2018-05-09 (08:00)

been working on terrain for a couple days
but will maybe look into adding spawns for
the map today.

2018-06-01 (02:00)

started to work on the cave, decided to make
two caves, one upper that is wide and one
lower filled with water. the upper cave will
have a hole down into the lower cave and the
axis will need to contruct a bridge to get
over the hole. the lower cave will feature
a small waterf
