[Map] Yibal Oilfields [scrapped]

[Outlawz7]

Bump.

Gas Station got a new building and the city has gotten bigger, but I'm seriously thinking of making it a big desert map and replace the city with an oasis or some sort of resort.

Changed the city layout, needed more spacing IMO


Also new vehicle layout I was thinking to do, same for both sides.
-both teams start with main base+one flag captured.
-----
-x5 non-respawnable tanks, spawned at first flag
-x4 tanks, 15 minutes, spawn delay
-x1 APC, 10 minutes, spawn delay
-x1 light helicopter, 15 minutes, spawn delay
-x4 jeeps, 5 minutes

Discuss.

like the idea of 9 tanks but mayne it should got 8 and 2 apc´s.

a question about the heli: has it guns or is it just a scout heli???

EDIT: and a question about the trucks: how many will be there or will there be no one??

[Outlawz7]

Not 9!! First 5 that spawn are non-respawnable, the 4 spawn with a delay and by that time the 5 should be mostly dead, so each team starts out with 5 tanks but continues with 4.
And the trucks will get there, when I find them in the spawner list :/

I wouldnt use thses huge vbf2 buildings...they just look unrealistic
Use some smaller village buildings, also the destructible from PR.
Also this gas station needs tweaks... it all looks ok but not quite realistic imo

Do note, that urban maps in PR all use this statics more or less tbh, but you do have a point on buildings being high. I'll try using smaller buildings and maybe put some underground basements or more backyards/alleys, where vehicles can't go.

*zap*

Thread almost died

Here's the oil fields, no pipelines so far

[Superior Mind]

The city seems out of place. It might be more realistic if the city is on the edge of the desert, because who would build a city in the middle of an oil field and desert? Small villages would be better, or even one big village of huts, perhaps at a higher elevation. You need to consider whether you would like big open desert tank battles or city battles. I think a big open desert with a city running all along one side and then scattered villages would be better. Of course it would have the oil fields.

dont forget to places some broken shacks around for snipers and rally points. if its all dunes there will be nowhere to hide

[Rangu]

[defilibrator sound]*BZZZZD*

"Thanks, I owe you one!"

About the buildings; I want you to use the maximum ammount of destroyable objects/houses, and make several or just one huge freaking village that the tanks can crush and level.

Looks brilliant, can't wait!

After some research it turned out, that Yibal is a major industrial area in Oman (do'h oil = tons of refinery's, storages and pipelines), so yes, there will be pipelines, oil pumps and tons of facilities.

I have added a small city, the idea is that there is some population living there that works at the oilfields, also completed one small oasis (still need to put in more) but the thign I'm working on atm are the CPs themselves.

.png format, because I'm too lazy to convert (may your 56k forgive me)
Suggestions would be nice as I'm running dry with ideas on what to put in.

MEC main. I am thinking of redoing it for some reason, if MEC was stationed there for a while it'd look a bit different IMO

Storages. Need ideas on what else to put in besides oil tanks and fences.

Gas storage, although I am thinking of redoing that one and turn it into a refinery of some sort.

The city, needs some detail (trash, boxes etc.) but satisfied with it

Abandoned facility or a construction site, can't decide yet, still needs work
http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g214/ ... -08-67.png

Warehouses, may need different fencing as I used concrete walls (sense much?)

US main, also wanting to redo to some sort of FOB or staging area

Have to disapoint you. The guys who work in such oilfield wouldnt life in such a village, because theres no TV
Joking But its true they wouldnt life there. These guys mostly life in the factory in a spezial part of it or they life in containers near the factory.

Update to the rescue!

I killed the IMG code in the previous post so you won't have to load all those .png images

I generated some lightmaps on Low settings, but decided to shut down the editor when after 45 minutes they were still generating and it started getting on my nerves

It does seem that the lightmaps survived somehow.
I rendered a new minimap, where you can now finally see the terrain and shadows where the buildings haven't rendered.



As you can see the light setting is morning-like similar to Kufrah. I'd like to know if I should keep it that way or make a daytime/dusk setting?

[jOHNNYdOUBE]

Light looks good.

[DeltaFart]

the american place you might want to make less sturctured like it was just hastily set up

[hall0]

Looksnice. But the light setting remind me more to Jabal as to Jabal. But i like it.
Is it just me or does the "minimap" looks smaller than the map actually is.
