Re: [Map] BFP2 Map [WIP]

and that's after I've optimized the terrain hehe, terrain is still 2M polys.

:/ I though I had it bad rendering 1,6 million triangles with 4 lightsources, raytraced shadows and skylights with light tracer enabled.

hehe, well, sky lights take years to calculate 
isn't as bad as muttrah which was around 10M polys

geez, my max give me an error when I try to render too high poly counts. I couldnt get it up above 4M before it gave up on me :/ had to lower smoothing iterations, but it work out fine.
On a more serious note...
I'll soon be back to work on my PR jobs after having had a few tough weeks at uni and foolishly started another project over at GA -_- though its comming along nicely, its sucking up every friggin spare minute I have.
btw did you solve your double sided faces problem?

Hehe, good to hear you will be bk soon
The one I posted on GA forums? ye what the guy suggested with just cloning the trees and flipping the normals works fine, I thought it would take for ever to do it but only took a few seconds, took longer to get the correct trees in the places
Started my LMs 30mins ago and already 32% way though my sun light so with any luck it shouldn't take too long to LM this baby, only a few hrs

[BF2] Battlefield Pirates 2 Mod Update - Total Gaming Network
Mapping Competition Update:
We have received more than 14 submissions for the recent Mapping Competition, and there are definitely some keepers in the mix. Many of the public submissions can be seen in the Forum under the Community Mapping Project subforum. We were fortunate to receive some maps from developers from other mod teams, including Rhino [Project Reality], Junglist [Eve of Destruction] and mschoeldgen [Xww2]. And of course a few familiar faces from our community also made contributions, such as Elander, Dumptrailer2, GeneralViper405, etc.
The Pirates staff is now reviewing all of the maps and making some minor edits that are needed to make the maps fully compatible with our latest build. We will trim down the number of maps, so expect to see between 8-10 new maps in the next map patch. There are new open water ship fighting maps, maps designed for air combat, smaller urban CQB maps (CS:S style maps) and a few new surprises from the Staff. The winning submission will be decided by you all in an upcoming future Poll.

Right guys thinking of names for this map
Me and Taxi have just came up with the name "Hornswaggle Reef"
In Pirate Lingo, "Hornswaggle" means to defraud or cheat out of money or belongings according to this site: Pirate Phrases - Lingo Words Vocabulary
Which kinda fits the map from what I can see as there are lots of shipwrecks in the reef and there is some treasure in it too hehe
And also if you go into it with a large ship you will run aground too so ye, it could take your ship too
Thoughts?

Lookin good. Map should have a long view distance though, somewhere around 500-700 meters out.
Re: [Map] BFP2 Map [WIP]
Posted: 2009-05-15 16:36
view distance is currently 850 but think its going to have to come down a bit, most of the BFP2 statics are not very optimized with LODs etc.
But my main question at the moment is with the name

Well, a reef where you're cheated out of money... leaving many a wrecked ship...
Seems plausible in the pirate world
Pretty good title imo. Have anything thought up for the description?

I agree with Mcluvin. It sounds like a really good idea.
