Merry Christmas

I've heard how hard it is to make a snow map, but you've done a great job making it look as realistic as possible (given the limitations). I especially like how you replaced the dirt textures with snow on the FOB, truck, etc.

Keep up the good work!

[BloodBane611]

All I can say is Wow! I love it, can't wait for the event!

[BlackMagikz]

looks nice

I would suggest you use the snow textures I made, although they aint the best, they are much better than what you've done, no offence. Although I like the idea of the chains on the wheels, but you aint done it very well

[Acemantura]

Yeah!?! Well I like it, Keep up the faith, and you'll get it to PR spec in no time.

Good luck brother.

[HangMan_]

Looks awesome Dunem If you pm a texture guy someone will be able to help you out with making some awesome textures for the wheels. I think this map should aim higher than just an event

[AfterDune]

Interesting. Looks good, dunem, keep it up .

I have to agree with Rhino though, it looks a bit odd (of course it's still wip I reckon). Perhaps you can look into what he has done, and improve it if/when/where necessary?

Can't remember the setting, but you can change an integer on the overgrowth settings to stop the trees coming out at weird angles as it just doesn't really look natural.

[Mora]

Why cant we keep these maps in just normal PR? The other snow map was really awesome too.

set the normal scale to 0.1

[Shovel]

Really, really nice so far! I am also working on a snow map in Alaska ATM.

[Zeno]

i can give you a the snowtexture that i use on my map its pretty good

[dunem666]

set the normal scale to 0.1

People always moan about my trees, when comparing them to ref pics, they are pretty similar angles!

[dunem666]

yeah ive only done screenies of the part that look nice, been making the mountain radar station, will have some epic firefights when thats completed.

[karambaitos]

i like how it looks, maybe you could make the snow chains a bump map so it looks a bit more realistic ( it will only show if you have high lighting on).

how about snow on the trees? I wish it was a 4k map

[Cossack]

Yeah, the PR must move to Arctic Deserts, and very very snowy terrains, because, not all action is in the sands. We have woodland and desert, why not give a chance to snow?

As I stated in the Op Snow Storm topic a year ago: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f318-2 ... storm.html

Rhino;1210474']As mentioned before, this map was only developed for a one off community event so what happens to it after that we haven't made our minds up about that quite yet but in order for PR to have an "official snow map", we would need to do lots of work with crating lots of new materials, sounds, effects, textures etc that would take a lot of our workforce and would take a long time to complete, this map is a simple knock up right now

OSS used the sand material for snow, which was the closest material to snow we have in PR/BF2 and you still dont get anything like the right sound when walking over the snow, and when you shoot it, a load of yellow dust pops up etc, and OSS didn't even have any statics in it which would need snow textures. The vehicle/player snow textures where also very basic.

thats intresting to know actually as ive experimented with different stone detail with snow and look very nice.

what id be interested in hearing about next is a color texture for snow, the 1 that is avaliable rocky_snowtop lacks detail and makes these nasty looking black spots on your terrain.

if i tried to crate a snow color texture, could i still impliment it for play using objects_client?
i need to do this also with the snowstorn effect.

[Amok@ndy]

color textures are not needed in the objects_client ... they are just used local !
you save them to /yourmap/colortextures/ tiles
