Hydro dam

README

am_hydro_dam
V1.2
________

Mapped by HC|Teal'c visit us at www.hydro-culture.org.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scenario
________

Allied and Axis forces both have operations on either side of a dam.  

Objectives
__________

Both the Axis and Allies have dynamite and destroy objectives followed by collect and return of docs/gold objectives.

There is also a forward spawning flag and position for each team.(must be set in game to players liking)

Map overview
____________

Outside section is basically a mirror map to provide an equal chance for each team to win, there is also an underground section that links either side as well as the middle section.

Twin mounted Mg-42 provide defense for each base.

There is much connectivity between all areas using outside area or underground areas, this has been increased since beta version.

Fog is used outside to limit visibility and to give snipers a slightly less easy game.


Where do I go?
______________

When you initially spawn you will be in a cellar/basement area, simply go up to the surface or travel down the tunnels.

The enemy door (dynamite object) is right in their base and is hard to successfully set and defend.

Once the door is blown the docs/gold become reachable, the docs/gold must be taken and returned to your base for transmission/escape, a small door on the side wall of the base is the exit point.

The forward spawn flag points are placed on the towers but the spawn location is actually a little further back from this.

Fixes since v1.1
________________

Fixed some mountain climbing issues where some players used crouching and terrain climbing techniques to get onto the top of the terrain and onto the areas surrounding the bases.  This action spoils gameplay somewhat so this has been corrected.

Known Issues
____________

Minor issue with forward spawn, this must be set from the 'L' menu.  
If Playing Axis - Spawn Location is Allied Side
If Playing Allies - Spawn Location is Axis Side.
Of course these are assuming you dont want to spawn downstairs.

This issue is caused as a consequence of using two sets of forward spawn and objectives, the engine gets a little confused and takes the Allied Objective as the Auto Pick Location.  This is not a map bug but a game limitation.

Some of you may notice the name and some similarities between Hydro RTCW and Hydro from NOLF, well the map is loosely based upon the map from that game, I would say that 20% or so of the structure is the same but textured completely differently, although on a slightly larger scale.  Thanks goes out to Monolith for the original and the inspiration for this map.
