[Map] Karez Offensive (4km) [WIP]

[Wicca]

Ill do a private test with you and some Nor members rudd.

Oh yeah now that you mention it, i cant fully remember why. But i think when you use binocs, it renders more, aswell as overgrowth on a longer distance, and players and veichles are like the same render distance.

[Wicca]

Im confused about this, lightmap thing.

Oh also rudd. At 950 m, things are quite small in PR. Like a dot.

[VapoMan]

*edit* nevermind

[Wicca]

Rudd im going to kill my map. Why wont it make my water transparrenT?!

[Rhino]

If its sea water, terrain lightmaps are required. If its a waterplane, you need to lightmap the waterplane itself and then pack the LM atlas and zip it up.

[Wicca]

in the lm folder then? ill try that. L

Im so confused >':

[Wicca]

deleted all water. cause i hate water now. Also im considering putting the viewdistance to 1400 m. Cause it might solve some of the rendering issues.

However i belive the performance is like korengal or the other one fallujah yeah.

Will be interesting.

[Agemman]

I heard you like the Karez Offensive?
























Permission given by Wicca for this. Hope you enjoy it, it is a great map to play around on. Good settings for firefights (seen a few).

[Wicca]

Ah thanks agemman. I hate posting pics. Cause i just hate.... Imageshack..

[Adriaan]

Ah thanks agemman. I hate posting pics. Cause i just hate.... Imageshack..

Use imgur, it's really easy!

[BroCop]

It actually looks like Afghanistan now (compared to the old Nevada style area )


But that doesnt mean I dont want pics of the water areas

[Agemman]

No water in my version

[BroCop]

Hmmm Wicca you decided to ditch the water?

[Wicca]

Crocop, i said so in the thread a few posts back

Cause i just couldnt figure out the water tuts. I tried everything. Like i do. I Googled, redid. Did and moved stuff edited shit. Derrrp. And then nothing. So i gave up and decided to ditch them.

If someone wanted to do it for me. Go ahead, im too stupid

[Tim270]

What about making it a dry riverbed? It honestly looks like one from the pics just missing a dried mud texture. But then again, there would not be loads of trees lining a dry river bed.

[Wicca]

Well it will be a dried up riverbed.

But i dunno about putting logs in them?

Anywa, ill make a gameplay test very soon. Stand by.

[Amok@ndy]

Anywa, ill make a gameplay test very soon. Stand by.

dont do this mistake again, like i know you, you still havent enough places of interest (PoI) and having flags in the middle of knowhere isnt a good decision

wait with your next test until the maps progress is much further,
its just a tipp and like i know you, you dont listen to tipps...

[BroCop]

Well Andy you look like a regular on PRTA TS3. Just drop him 10 minutes to figure out how to get water properly

[Wicca]

Who said anything about flags?

Hello, ive just messed around and found out few things:

The sun effect is mispositioned, as can be seen in the video. Tested it all around the map:


The sun effect is also somehow flicking through various surfaces:


The flag in MEC main is not sunk porperly:


A magical flying rock:


Some flying bushes on the edge of map, on the western end of river creek:


There is also a very wierdly placed bridge in J 6 kpd8 - video:


Vehicles seem to slide sidewards on slightest slopes, reminds me of Op. Snowstorm. I thought they should stay or roll over...


I dont like this mix of statics, too wierd:


On a positive note, i really love the view distance and general map layout. Would be interesting to see how it works out without flags
