[Map] Musa Qala (2km) [WIP]

[Rabbit]

Oh snap, you retextured the afghan north statics? I thought you were using the new afghan statics.

That foliage pretty much cover the Taliban main from Base Rape. If people really want to base rape well they will get what they deserve from an admin.
Also mirrored the main terrain to surrounding terrain and photoshoped the unwanted rivers out and photoshoped new terrain data to the west side.



Added another vehicle shelter because I had some unrespawnable vehicles laying in the middle, wasn't good to let the other vehicles out.

man this map look fantastic...
keep it up max

Looks nice, except for the river, the river looks kinda weak/small, especially with those small patches of islands all over it, reduce the islands to make room for more water?

He already stated that he can't raise the water level because it would flood part of the map.

I don't mind the "islands" but imo they should be covered with grass, bushes, rocks and trees.

Added vegetation to the river islands

Without Grid

[Madar_al_Fakar]

Yeah, that did the trick!

Put rocks on the mountains maybe?

might be good, if the rocks would be big enough to provide at least some cover so it's not empty, orr maybe that part of the map isn't meant to be much contested.

For some reasons, out of 3 clan mates I'm the only one getting this shitty UG.
Unless I'm not looking at the fields then it will render correctly.

This is not the only map where it happens, Grozny, Iron Ridge, Charlies Point..., but those maps are not as bad as this.



Ignore the TOW HMMWV

[Mats391]

I get it too on some maps. It depends on distance and angle that i am looking at them.

EDIT: Found a fix...

this solved my flickering ugly grass->

1. go into bf2 menu and disable AntiAliasing - save and exit
2. delete the battlefield cache files (in your \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache\ directory)
3. start bf2 - play a map without AntiAliasing (for recaching without AA)
4. disconnect and set AntiAliasing back
5. restart game

This has been bothering me for years and when I start asking questions, I find the answer moments later. #MyLife

I've asked AM to code that fix into the game many times many people dont know about it.

[Outlawz7]

Wait, are you using those \staticobjects\me\buildings statics on your map? Their quality is subpar, why do these keep making their way back to PR every time...

Also I think your lightmaps or sky color settings are too dark for a day map.

Looks like afghan north retextured.

Not talking about those.

[Max_]

Those, and they will get replace by something else.

IT'S TODAY! 1600PRT

[Outlawz7]

This cache is hard to get out of as it spawns you in the beds, try to leave some room around caches for people spawning on them

[Colonelbruno]

This is a beautiful afghan based map with so much love to detail, well done!

Although this map and Grozny give me too much flickering regarding the vegetation, especially the trees.
The fix you posted above didn't help unfortunaly. Only Supersampling does.

Finally got around cleaning up my desktop which had all the minimaps saved into it.
Wanted to make a GIF with the progression of all the minimaps for quite a while now, so I did.



It's been a while since the last progress update, I'm still working on the map redoing all the compounds.
