[Map] Swat Valley (2km) [WIP]

[BloodBane611]

It does look really great, keep it up!

[Le_Damner]

No, as you can see in the 1st post, I've change the teams to US vs. MEC. And it will be AAS for the first mode.
It's build for teams and clans to have funny tainings/war on it, so it must be something balanced. But the map is made for the community, so once it will be finished, people will be free to change teams and vehicles as they like !

[Hauteclocque]

Good progress, many areas have been reworked and new places have been created (like on the other side of the East bridge, where are the plants) according to the screens.

It's a shame that...well, it's old story now.

Here are older pics taken ingame, showing the ambiance in the streets:

I'm curious what object lightmap settings did you use, the lightmaps looks very nice.

[Le_Damner]

I've used medium settings, they looks almost the same as the final ones but take less time to render ... Anyway, I'm missing a lot of lightmap samples (xpack objects ...etc) so I must use 3Ds to make final shadows... and perhaps make the light effects working too !

Sorry Outlawz, think I've misunderstood you, here is the object lightmap settings:

rem ******** Lightmap Generation Settings ********
if v_arg1 == BF2Editor

LightMapGeneration.init
LightMapGeneration.GILightsBaseDir 0/0.33/-0.66
LightMapGeneration.GILightsIntensity 0.33
LightMapGeneration.GILightsShadowIntensity 1
LightMapGeneration.GILightsFov 45
LightMapGeneration.UseGITopLight 1
LightMapGeneration.GITopLightIntensity 0.1
LightMapGeneration.GILightsViewDistance 10
LightMapGeneration.skyWhite 0.3
LightMapGeneration.numberOfGILights 8
LightMapGeneration.sunLightShadowIntensity 1
LightMapGeneration.sunLightFov 2
LightMapGeneration.sunLightIntensity 1

endIf

[Outlawz7]

Thats ok, both infos are helpful; I see you used the default daylight settings, you can use less than 8 GILights which drastically reduces render time (I use 1 ), but then the shadows are darker, though you can counter that by increasing intensity.

This looks very good...

Status?

[BloodyDeed]

Wow, i really like the darky and dirty look. Seems it has a great atmosphere to sneak like a ninja...

sunset city 2.0 ?

[MikeDude]

sunset city 2.0 ?

You mean sunset city x2 In every way..

Dude look at it, its pretty.

Can I test this map in any way?

[Vision_16]

It looks like the most realistic city map in PR, IMO. The way the layout is crowded and has construction, factories, mosques, and other buildings makes it actually look like a Middle Eastern city. Loving it, nice job. Also loving the ambiance of the lighting and shadows.
