well i just comment the map as it is atm

[Wicca]

Thank you for the feedback, to the rest of you. Thats how its done.

Im currently redoing that "village" in the valley cause its always been pissing me off lol.

Also those Glitches are easy to fix. And yes that is a WIP project that i only got that far.

I hope to fill the empty spaces asap, thank you mate

[Wicca]

ok im currently updating the main center village, with a river.

So im giving myself a list:

Main Village/River

FOB

Helicopter base

Mains

Then fill up North eastern side of map.

Eastern Village

I have to say though, not everypart of afghanistan is populated with lots of compunds, its easy to see places where there arent any. So i want to keep some parts of the map, just with terrain cover. But the already existing compunds and such can be expanded.

BTW!

Im LOA from today to errr friday. Since im going to a funeral.

Some inspiration for you, terrain-wise:

Don't overdo it with the villages, is all I ask! Terrain-based maps is a concept I quite like.

How about that semi-dark dusk lighting that can bee seen in the first vid? That dark-blue sky, with it about to turn dark? Would make for an interesting change IMHO.

Especially if it is a desert map with grass

[Wicca]

God damn it, stupid ligtmaps did the buildings wrong

Stay tuned for an event!

[H.sta]

My current concern is that the fields look very strange and unnatural

[Amok@ndy]

thats cause he hasnt changed the sky.con there is an ambienttree and an suntree color its all in rhinos tutorial

[Wicca]

The fields are all ligthmapped in low, cause i just wanted to place them individualy. To "unchecK" them when i did the terrain lightmaps. God i hate lightmapping

But it looks so good in the end

[Amok@ndy]

the field overgrowth is Vegitation and Vegitation doenst have samples

its only the lightsetting 2 clicks in the editor to fix it

[Wicca]

woaaaaaaaaaaaaah that is a beutiful difference ill get on it in the morning, im in bed

Link to Rhinos safari adventure LM thingy?

[Amok@ndy]

it has nothing to do with Lightmapping
its only a small change in the sky.con

Q: Why dose the light on my fields look uneven with one half of the patches being dark/black and the other half really light?
A: This is due to your map's light settings for the overgrowth. Try making the TreeAmbientColour really light and make the TreeSunColour really dark and you should find it will help a lot.

[Wicca]

Seems quite simple expect new pics soon!

[Wicca]

haha



there we are

Thanks for the tip!

you still havent moved your blufor mainbase ?

move it to the top or at the bottom of the hill but dont let it in the way it is now

[Wicca]

Yes andy

Sorry ive gotten the flu my eyes and nose are dripping..... And dripping and dripping.

My head is red, my body feels like its been banged by a number of different jailed members of a high security prison.

I will put the main on the hill. Maybe add another village but not right now...

Must fight.... Must not die... Gaaah....

[Unit3d_Kill3r]

I saw this post on *NwA* forums.

I will try my best to get there, but I am playing a gig at the time.

Ok, so first of all, I really like the map. The terrains looks great and the view distance really sells it. I hope you won't have to reduce the VD by much, if at all.

However, Wicca I think you need to realise that if the map is going to be used it needs to have flags, or it needs to be insurgency (or both!) It just doesn't work otherwise. At all.

Also assets: for AAS an attack chopper could be pretty awesome on this map, APCs and tanks would be cool, especially with that view distance! Maybe no APCs, just tanks w. choppers for trans. Something a bit different.

As for insurgency, I think it could totally work so long as the Blufor didn't have any heavy assets. Just light vehicles with .50s and trans choppers. Maybe a light attack chopper. But no APCs or Tanks. That would be interesting, and kinda unique.

Anyway, thems my thoughts

[BroCop]

Well Web, he did told to a couple of us that one part of the event was to help him decide the flags.

Anyways:

- Spam some more UG and OG (well OG could be added on a few spots but it would benefit from some density increase)
- Water...I think its obvious
- Terrain is some skewed on some parts (heavy morphing issues here and there, most visible by that dried out river on the more shallow parts). Oh and the sunflare seems to be coming from underground
- Could use roads (i mean at least make some dirtroads here and there or something)
- Surrounding terrain needs to be done. Its not cool getting near the edge of the minimap only to see a flat giant, editor stock colored, desert
- There seems to be alot of Z-Fights in that big village just south of the MEC main (overlapping static textures). I think you might wanna ask around on what can be done

If you need me to be more specific on what im talking about just tell me and ill get screens

Oh and almost forgot. You might wanna add up more assets (by assets I dont mean spam Apache's or Tank's). You seem to have alot of choppers but not enough ground transport.
