working on adding more objects and details for most of the map at the moment and also adding more places for caches

Watch the lag though

shouldnt be a problem so far, running 90+ fps all the time

Minimap:

The "farming villige" in center south, is it final? Seems a bit artificial, to me, it does not transfer into the sorrounding terrain. Looks disturbing. Maybe its just me, i dont know.

That being said, i really love the rest of the map, especially those villages in mountains

Can you do a video how you make those maps i want to learn to !

thats because its going to be added lots of other fields and farms along the "dried out river" making it more natural as a "green zone"

its like a small piece of kokan within a rather desert looking map

[Zeno]

Very nice, it reminds me of a Russian movie about the war in Afghanistan I watched, with its small Afghan villages and this desert/dry feeling. The picture around the FOB also reminds me of real pictures of the war when the soldiers are advancing through this huge grey valley with green grass patchworks!
Good luck

the inspiration is taken from both 9th company, and lots of referance pics from the area:

IMO it would be way better at day time..

[Zeno]

its is daytime, right before sunset

[Pvt.LHeureux]

Hate sunset, it means that night is coming and that you get to sleep soon

Long live mornings

Anyway the map looks great, nice use of softwares to have a realistic looking map like this

Also from what I see.. this map would be ready before the Norwegians forces, so why not using Russians with their new camo (like in beirut) for now? Or MEC? Could be cool

[Zeno]

hmm, seems like i have a problem:

i was testing the map and everything was ok, then i tried to take a print screen and the game CTDed. when i loaded up the map this is how it looks:



when it should look like this:



seems to be a problem with the lowdetailtexture or sumthin

[Pvt.LHeureux]

Try to set the rock lowdetailmaps to 2

i have... but after it crashed ingame its not working anymore

it's all looking very promising, however I find your roads a bit too stark a contrast comparing to the landscape, especially considering most of the roads in this kind of area would be mere dirtpaths or unhardened roads, while your roads are curved like dirt roads but have the color of a paved road, bordering to worn tarmac.

planemap also needs to be activated... so make sure it says "1".

I think IDF will fit perfectly to this map.
Maybe you cando IDF with iron eagle clothing vs HAMAS as INS.
It will be realistic because it's like the mountains in Sinai Peninsula, in Israel-Egept border.

the roads are still just a simple detailtexture with bright color to show the placement of the roads, i will add roadtextures later.

its being made for the Norwegian faction so no chance for IDF, only chance would be as a temporary placeholderfaction.
