[FoW] Bosnian Woods (Multiplayer 4v4 map)

[bosnian dragon]

I proudly present my first multiplayer map made in GEM Editor. The map was originally built for Faces Of War. However, due to showed interest in playing this map in Men of War, I have adjusted it for that game too.

- In order to play this map online or on LAN, you must copy all the files from the downloaded archive to your maps folder. If you're a common user, the folder for all non-official multiplayer maps should be here:
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Faces of War\resource\map\multi

If you cannot find the folder "map" inside of the "resource" folder, then just create it according to the address above. Once inside folder "multi", just create a new folder named Bosnian Woods and copy all the content from Bosnian Woods.rar to that folder.

- If you want to play the map in Men of War, you will have to install it as a mod. Download the mod from this link:

Extract the folder "BosnianWoods" from the archive and copy it to your mods folder which is located in the main folder of the game. If you don't have the folder "mods" located there, then just create it.

I really hope that this map will get into some favorites :) Because it would be fun to play it with people online. :booyah:

I proudly present my first multiplayer map made in GEM Editor. The map was built for Faces Of War (Combat & Battle Zones). However, this is not going to be the last work in GEM for me, and I am already planning on starting to create a new, larger map. This one is perfect for 3v3, but it can also support 4v4 players.

All instructions on how to import the map into the game and other important information is located in the ReadMe file ;)

If you find any bugs in the missions, please feel free to contact me on the e-mail (You can find it in the ReadMe too).

Yes but this is the 'Men of War' forum lol.:grin:

Can't Faces of War maps be converted to play in Men of War?

Anyway, looks good, might want work on the trenches though.

Yeah I know that, :) but I thought that some of people who play Men of War might want this map too...

About the trenches, I will try to improve the map with adding more trenches but the point is that this map is about fighting in the woods and hills, without artificial help :) Only natural covers ;)

[Korsakov829]

What I meant by the trenches was, on the top down screen you can see grass in them, so raise the trenches up, lower terrain under them, or paint the terrain for that area.

Anyway, keep building maps, I look forward to them.

That's just the minimap, and the shot was taken in the editor, so that's why it looks bad. When you actually play the map in the game the trenches look normal ;)

How do you put it in the Men of War game,ive tried all the folders but it dosnt show up unless i stick it in the single player folder,but obviously i dont want it there as there is no one player script to it.:(

[Korsakov829]

In a mod folder there should be a map folder also, try putting it in there.

I haven't tried it with Men of War yet, but you should try this what Korsakov said, maybe it will work. As soon as I get Men of War, I'll give my best to make this map fully compatible with the game.

No there isnt,because there is no standard Mod folder on 'Men of War',you have to make the Mod folder yourselves.:grin:

[bosnian dragon]

OK everyone, I have made a rework of the map. Now it's fully compatible with Men of War. Check the first post of this thread for new links and instructions! All known bugs are now history :)

1. Zooming through ground is no longer possible
2. Sky is visible
3. Zoom level has been altered, you can now zoom out even further so the mountains won't block your view.

Enjoy the map!!!

Cheers it works now,i had a little look on the map,my only criticism is it is a very small map.So would best be played with Infantry only i think.:grin:

I agree it's a small map, and it's perfect for 2v2 I think. It's good for infantry, and a few tanks, but not too open for big tank battles.

P.S. I am already making another map, it's going to be perfect for 3v3, and It's going to have open areas for tanks.

Just got a great idea for a map, could you make a empty, heavily defended POW map? Just a thought.

Anyway, look forward to your next map.

POW, like Prisoner of War camp? Give me more details, I can always hear your suggestions :)

[Korsakov829]

Say the Americans recently attacked a PoW camp, freed the prisoners, some prisoners join the Americans but they have no weapons, then the Germans attempt to retake the camp. It might be possible to make this into multiplayer, but singleplayer might work too.

It could be Russians trying to retake a German camp, it could be Germans trying to take a Russian camp, and so on.

I can promise I will make that for multiplayer, but single player is more time consuming, and I don't have much time these days :) But, I will make a map for multiplayer, and then later on, I could make a special single player mission with that story for that map. Thank you for the suggestion very much! ;)
