Deir Ez Zor [4km]

[CaptMiller]

Started creation of new map for Syrian conflict. Some progress for 2 weeks.

If you have any ideas, give me your suggestions.

Artellery batalion(Sink tube - new static object)







Part of village





Airbase
+ new static obj airfield (1.17 km) with default texture


Syrian jet bunker

Factions? Layout (AAS or INS)? Assets intended?

Sorry for asking Miller and I hate being this guy, maybe I'm wrong but aren't you doing many projects (assets, faction and maps) at the same time? Maybe focus on finishing one thing could be more efficient?

Don't get me wrong, I love that you are creating new content and hope you accomplish it!

[CaptMiller]

FSA vs Syrian Army(hope when I finished map this will finished too).

Layouts - AAS and CnC only. Think no sense to talk about assets when all are WIP )

I abandonned work over IS faction, if I complete in the future some assets which I did, this will give to FSA faction

Editor crashes alltime when I try to load my map, wtf ? how to fix it ?

Look at the log at the bottom while loading, see if you can spot what it tries to load when it crashes, then remove that from the map.

[CaptMiller]

Progress.
New big village with fortifications.









Also, I want to ask devs:
look at this grass, on distance more 20 metres it disappears, on distance more 40 metres It disappears completely, in game grass will be good or should I use another grass ?

so how did you fix this?

[AfterDune]

You can set the undergrowth distance to x meters, how much did you set this?

For reference, you could check the undergrowth.con (or .cfg?) of other similar maps.

[CaptMiller]

so how did you fix this?

I deleted from folder some new static, some problem with textures, dont know how to fix it yet, will try after.



To AfterDune:

400 metres. With all other types of grass everything is fine. Problem with "cattails" and "cattailsgreen"(especially cattailsgreen

[CaptMiller]

A few words about my map.

It will be something like deserted Omaha, every object (village, city, air base, checkpoint) will be well fortified, many fortifications added, but the coming force will be the insurgents. The defending faction must be the Syrian army, but since it does not exist yet, it may be necessary to use Militia, the main thing is that both factions should have no optics, and both used mainly AKM

SAA(placeholder Militia)

1 tank - t-62
1 tank t-72
1 bmp1
5 UAZ
2-4 urals (supplies and transport)

Also static DHSKm, ZSU-2-23, ZIS-3

ISIS(placeholder FSA)

2 tanks t-62
2 tanks t-55
1 bmp
4 Improvised APC(will remodel it after, but it is very important)
3 VBIED(that will be new models too, and have anti-bullets armour)
2 Zastava suply
5 techi cars

[rPoXoTauJIo]

Shtap making mistake i've told you already - assets goes after map being somewhat finished

[Rabbit]

No, Break the chains of conformity! Do assets first then build the map around them!

Hi everyone, I have problem with one static. In BFmeshviewer it is fine, but when I export in pr_edit folder BfEditor crashes while loading my map with message : Warning: Inalid texture slot

2 materials(4 textures):
walls - iraq_c , iraq_di
roofs - white_tile, dirty_c
pls help

[Outlawz7]

You don't parent collisions to lods, only lod0. If it says 'invalid texture slot' then we need to see your materials (Meshview, 3ds max)

[CaptMiller]

For some reason BF2 engine dont want to read UV 3 channel(dirt) and read it as UV 1 channel (base) thereby dirt looks not correctly in bf2 engine, if someone Know how to fix it please tell me.

Using multiple threads about the same issue is only going to hinder you getting a fix for them.

I suggest you make a dedicated thread about the issue, or you only use one of these topics at the very least.

[CaptMiller]

Map Progress

[FlyingR]

Honestly a part from all the fixing that you have to do, the map is pretty good! Love the first building compound, smoke will play an important role here while MGs suppress the buildings to assault it!

Also having Airfield as a flag will be a fun CQB fight!

Yeah, I try to make the landscape as realistic as possible, Deir Ez Zor air base is no accident for 5 years surrounded, it's really a tough nut and the upcoming ones will have to do their best.

It will be something like a desert Omaha. The ISIS (placeholder FSA) should attack by a single wave of 30-50 people, interacting with tanks and mortars, otherwise they will simply not be able to take any of the objects (airbase, village, checkpoint).

And ofcourse no optic scopes(only snipers, marksmans etc)

List of vehicles, which in any case will need to be done:

-Improvised APCs for ISIS (placeholder FSA)
-armored VBIEDs for ISIS (placeholder FSA)

List of vehicles and equipment, which it is desirable to make:

-BM-21 GRAD
-ATGM 9k111 Spigot
-tank T-55
