I just find out that the only time that stukas were used in normandy was to strafe a group of infantry on Purple Heart's Lane, wich ended up in 30 casualties, wouldn't really fit lol. So I'm better of making a fictious map or something :? ??:

Maybe I can put some on Operation Cobra even if it isn't accurate lol

Dont forget guys that you can really easily re-texture that wall. If the geometry fits then keep it and start work on a simple texture. Sort of what GAZA did with it's walls and yellow brick. I'm sure that if you bleach the texture a bit and make it more white then it would fit better. There are loads you can do as I'm sure you could use a custom texture suffix in your map.

I have absolutely zero knowledge or experience with modding or texturing, so i could use some help on that matter,
hell i dont even have photoshop :mrgreen:

Minimap looks great! :)

Btw, the "black" fields, have you placed these large overgrowth fields there and then lightmapped? If so, when you do you next lightmap, hide those fields. If you hide them, you won't have these black "shadow fields" anymore ;) .

looking good, but you do need to change your tree light colour and also that fiel's texture in the bottom right is rather pixely.

The color of the trees, you can adjust them in the light settings. This may help there: Sky.con Light Settings Explained - BFEditor

For the minimap. Set your renderer.minCullDistance to 3000 and then generate the minimap (might want to finalize the roads aswell prior to generation so they appear properly instead of having parts missing however note that you dont need to save the changes, just generate the minimap). For the fields...well someone else should explain that one.

create a new layer (available for all gamemodes so similar to default), select all fieldstatics and move them to the new layer, hide the layer before generating lightmaps, unhide new layer and generate minimap

Sheeit...forgot to mention OG.

Right before you generate your minimap, to make the OG appear you actually need to redo lightmaps. Just do the "closest area" or whatever the option is called (sorry for my expression but I did lightmaps only 2 times so dont really remember the interface too much) on a ground patch near some of your OG. That turns all the overgrowth on your map into statics so they will actually appear on the minimap.
