Want more sand? This should give you your fix!

Tired of sand? This should make you numb!
Thats right. You're fighting in a sandstorm.
 
This map is based on Mektek’s Assault Tech 1 map: Zoetemeer (city). This is low visibility urban combat at its best. This symmetrical map has a play area of 3072x3072 with a visibility of ~500 meters giving brawlers an advantage but still allowing scout/sniper teams to be extremely deadly.

This map utilizes duff’s converted elevator mechbays. Music is from AT1.

Had a VERY fun run on this map last night, the map loaded and first thoughts were MW2! fapping rights! Visibility is low, but it is still nicely open that as long as you aim for the targeting bracket you can still snipe.  I for one thank you very much Dem for bringing us a fantastic map that we need, one with LOW visibility!

Cool map! This fog - like soup! I have long waited for such a map!

But sometimes, probably due to desync problems, my Mech falls into a bay and I can not get out of the bay. You can do anything with it?

Played it a day or so ago on the Ghost Bear's server, plays fine, but it's not much to look at.

Varying the height of the buildings would go a long way to making the map easier to navigate visually and make it more interesting to look at, like making it so that the buildings closer to the capturable side bases are lower to the ground, while it's highest at the center and the main bases.
Adding some wide roads would add to the visual complexity of the map without impacting performance.
Moving the side bases closer to the center, like so instead of being of in F7(?) they would be in E6 would help the speed; despite it being a pretty small map, it takes quite a while to move around.

Also, can you move the buildings like 20 meters closer to each other, so mechs can jump between them?  ;D

Closer buildings means more to be visible at the same time, but since I reduced the rendering range significantly maybe this won't be a problem. I'll definitely see what I can do to make jumping from building to building easier. I'm thinking about taller buildings the closer you get to the center to keep the symmetry. Keep in mind that the buildings themselves won't look all that different in textures unless I get the originals from mektek, its just the shapes that will be different.

This is the current layout for the bases:
(BB)=Main Base
(F)=Factory
(O)=Outpost


BB..........................F
...............................
...............................
.............OO.............
...............................
...............................
F..........................BB

These are the options I am thinking of changing it to:

(1)
BB..........................F
...............................
........F.....................
.............OO.............
......................F.......
...............................
F..........................BB

(2)
BB...........................
.....................F........
...............................
.............OO.............
...............................
........F.....................
............................BB

(3)
BB...........................
...............F..............
...............................
...F........OO........F...
...............................
...............F..............
...........................BB

(4)
BB...........................
.....................F........
........F.....................
.............OO.............
......................F.......
........F.....................
...........................BB

Please vote for option (1), (2), (3), or (4)

I like (2) as well. Less bases means a faster game.

Version 2 is done!
You can now jump a Shadowcat from rooftop to rooftop. There are 4 different building heights that vary throughout the city. The tallest tend to be in the center but most are spread randomly. The map is still symmetrical!

Please add numbering to your maps, like this: 
TC_Zoetemeer[v1]
TC_Zoetemeer[v2]
TC_Zoetemeer[v3]... etc

But please include no special characters like [ and ] ;)
Those make handling stuff in the console / terminals more painful.

Is there a way to do that without having to re-reference all the custom materials I use? I can do that in the future for large updates but for hotfixes it becomes very painful.

Is not it enough to save the corrected version of the map with a different title?
