A while ago we discussed a couple of maps that a guy had redone as night maps (Karkand being one of them)...
I tried these out by setting up a server on my own machine and the maps looked terrific...
Here's my original comments about the maps:
QuoteThere are those two free night time maps that are knocking about that look superb...
Battlefield 2 Nights by StringerStudios (http://bf2nights.stringerstudios.com/index.php)
Now although these are night time DO NOT PANIC - this does not require Special Ops OR night goggles.
Both these maps are beautifully modelled as a clear full-moon type night and have all the street lights lit!
They are superb ~ gives Karkand a whole new twist!
What do you think?
(Again, these maps are FREE to download - you can load them into your BF2 set-up and have a wander round them by starting your own server...They look amazing!)
Finally - if Lib or whoever doesn't want to do these for the dMw server then StringerStudios has their own server running these maps:
70.85.47.250:16567
At the time it seems we were worried that installing these maps might preclude gusts from joining in - but this may be less of a consideration now that we are getting so many dMw guys playing on teh server regularly.
But are there still any technical issues that anyone can see?
I seem to recall that the maps require dedicated server code. This would mean that you can't play the standard map rotation.

Ahhhhh - bugger.
What a shame.
I say this because teh night Karkand is beautiful. The guy has done a fantastic job...
And I really wanted to wait down a dark alley and knife someone! LOL
