[Map] Badghis mountains (2km) [WIP]

[dtacs]

Looks like a better, more open version of Korengal with a different color palette. Nice work.

it sort of turned into korengal mixed with lashkar valley and kokan when i changed the overgrowth and added more fields

You sure the settings are OK of this one? Looks like you need to change a 1 to a 2.

yeah, might wanna increase teh X tiling of that detailtexture or mould the terrain a bit differently to stop that stretching

i am aware of that, it looks good in the editor but stretches ingame.. ill have to fix that later

[rushn]

is it possible to add fog or clouds to a map

I was thinking you add them to some hilltops

wasn't there a map with sand flying around cant remember what it was called though

but since this map is 2km and mostly mountains

I dont think clouds will effect performance that much

but so far looks really fun and infantry friendly also I love those flower fields

Yes it is possible! Karkand has a big cloud layer over the map and Operation Overlord (Project Normandy) uses clouds to simulate fog on the beaches

where can i find the Kashan clouds?

[Amok@ndy]

check the staticobject.con of kashan ?

On the minimap, it looks like the terrain is casting shadows on itself in the opposite direction than objects are? I know its WIP, just wanted to make sure im not going mad.

Anyway, this looks fantastic, great atmosphere, great layout, im loving it! (Tada ta ta taa!)

If texture = 2 then make sure you also make planemap = 1.

its not? the sun is in the south, thus casting shadows on the north side of the ridge, and the objects are not lightmapped yet

[Zeno]

is there any way to fix the black spots on the groundtexture after lightmap?

Did you try to pain over again? To correct those issues? It looks like a problem with the grid.

it just continues to make the black spots along the seam of the textures

[AfterDune]

The editor is weird at times. Is it like that in-game too? Most of the times, it's fine in-game, but like that in the editor.

[VapoMan]

The black spots are only an editor problem. It should look fine ingame.

The misaligned colour textures can either be fail dds compression (which you have to fix manually) or sometimes it can be fixed once final lightmaps are applied (actually I think the light maps only effect baked roads).

[CTRifle]

How would you fix that texture alignment problem ?

[Rudd]

use a road spline instead of handpainting
