It can't be a hole, since you can't modify the terrain with BF2 engine, so it's only texture, right?

Not a bad idea.

no its an actual crater hole ! kinda like the sand bag bunkers.

Care to post some screenshots?

Theres no way that I know of to modify terrain in real-time on a server. You can do a hack like we did with the runways, but I can't see PoE 2 doing that across an entire level.

I had to quickly test it in POE, and now I like your idea even more.

Only thing I'm a bit conserned about, is what happens if you drop a bomb into a slope.

I'm not sure how it's exactly done, but I think that when the bomb hits the ground, it spawns a crater model.

But that can't lower terrian, just add a lump ontop... hmmm, I wonder how it looks, can you post some screens?

I know it looks like it is made by mapper, but it really came when I dropped a bomb.

They dissappear after awhile don't they? Imagine one of the maps that's just completely covered in craters...

But how does the texture stuff work? And what if there are trees or grass?

Tumppu4321 · Post by **Tumppu4321** » 2007-08-09 04:39

The grass goes through it, and when I tried to drop a bomb in the grass, and I accidently hit a rock texture, the crater had rock texture.

Edit: And yes, they disappear quickly.

POE replaced the old black mark texture with a 3d slightly raised impact crater texture.

Thats how they did it in POE for BFV anyway.

Wish POE would join BSS. Would be nice to make some trades with those guys.

Both mod teams from POE2 and PR need to get together and make their own game free of the confines the EA puts on them.

Let's call it Point of Reality.

Imagine if PR, OPK, and PoE banded together...
Just think: Operation Project Peacekeeper of Existence Reality Point 2. OPPoERP2!!

Yeah!!! No...

Let's just call it the best game ever.

Each mod team has their share of ingenious coders and creators. The product of their combined efforts would cover the planet in awesome.
