[Map] Bi Ming day time conversion

couldnt edit my last post but i was thinking along the lines of both a day and a night version of this map (no APCs for both, etc)

not going to happen as thats 2x the space in the mod where we could use that space for another unique map.

We may in the future release day/night different versions along side the mod in a stand alone map pack which users can download.

Main reasons for this change is that we where having some problems with the night shaders again, mixed with no one playing the map since its "too dark", although that is very realistic for a night map...

Cool, if we will not have any more APC, what will be the available vehicles?

British:

2x Landrover (will repawn) - Qi Wang (British Main)
2x Landrover (won't respawn) - Supply Road
2x Rib (Boat) - Qi Wang
2x Supply Truck - Qi Wang

Chinese:

2x Nanjing (will repawn) - Chinese Main
2x Nanjing (won't repawn) - Munitions Dump
2x Rib - Island near Chinese Main
2x Supply Truck - Chinese Main

The map will fundamentally be about infantry combat. Its Ghost Train sized with only 6 cps and plenty of room around them to flank and manouver. Its effectively AASv1 so the action will be focused although you will still need to work hard to balance the assault against the defence, ensuring reinforcements are not intercepted. Hopefully this should ensure there is a good mixture of downtime and intense combat that rewards good squad level and overall teamwork.

I love infantry combat, and thats what this map was always designed to be about. Chatting to Fuzzhead the other night he suggested removing the apcs and cutting back on the transport vehicles to focus it more on the infantry and I thought it was a great idea. So get your knives polished and ready lads, this time you'll be able to see the whites of their eyes

I have to say Bi Ming was such a lag fest for some people where as other much larger maps like fools road run perfectly. Hopefully the change to day will make the map played more often.

So that means jumping frogs included ?

Sad to have morning finally catch up with this map but good to see all the work put into it better

...

Crosses fingers for a map pack with more night versions (at least dusk ones)
Because come on this is "Project Reality" but every army is scared of the dark ?

Didn't they have a night map glitch with FBs and the glare always gets me when I play night maps.

The nightshaders/filters took a massive toll on performance so it should run much better now too

Yes!

Because trying to get the bf2 engine to do realistic, unhackable night maps is like trying to teach an elephant to make daisy chains.

but the map looks nice.

Pitch black maps where every soldier has nightvision goggles is just bullshit. I would love to see realistic night maps where most of the regular infantry would have only torches and flares, Squad leaders, spec ops and the snipers could have the NVG.

I think it is possible to do that with the editor and a good idea.
However, it would require a less dark night setting and more light-objects..

Back on the topic :

I liked it first, but hey, YAY we can see now!!!
My eyes hurt from the darkness..
