Hey, what are your opinions on night vs day maps? So far Ive left it looking like close to night (not fully dark) but am thinking of making it a day map instead

day please, IMO night map's don't really work in PR, and its kind of a shame with yur map IMO you will probably be able to get a large VD and huge open environments. You can always make an alt layer however

evening maps are cool

You could make a night and day layer like on falklands or what Hawkowl and I are planning for our map. But I like the almost night idea (dusk?) Great work so far CT.

Well... His map is set in night, but with northern light in the sky. So his map is not pitch black like Falklands, it's nearly comparable to day, but more colorful I like it the way it is, man

Edit : Maybe you should post a picture of it

yes your right, I would but its not loading, its crashing my editor, still havent fixed it

Well yes that would be nice, BUT then what would stop apc's from being OP on the map?

Trenches and bunkers with AT positions?

Nope. There aren't any static defenses in Alert ^^

zombie I'll decide, it doesnt have to be 100% accurate

hmm I could add AT positions, or something else, need to think of what

Just sayin...... Hoth....

Not fair lol I told you weeks ago that you could add static defenses and you said "No, there aren't any in Alert ! It's not realistic !" xD

In regards to having the aurora borealis effect in the sky, it might be possible seeing as it is possible to have lightning in the sky (like in anctoville in FH2). But I'll leave someone more qualified to confirm that.

what about changing the texture and speed of clouds to make them look like northern lights?

I'll let CTRifle answer to that

:/

still working on that, the thing is that clouds only travel in one direction, where the NL move it all sorts of directions, squiggling all over the sky kinda.

You have 2 cloud layers that can be set to move in different directions. With the speed up it could look really good.

i think your map looks very very flat. I would suggest to fill the terain with some snow, which varies on height, also to give infantry more cover in open terrain.
Its also more realistic to place certain Snowdrifts, I remember the winter map pack where the terrain was filled with ridges and scrapes.

Yeah I think some snow mounds here and there would be nice for cover.

Yeah please no more night maps. Whenever I play Normandy night map it hurts my eyes trying to fight enemies. I saw that map kill a full server the other day.

Well its more of a dawn style lighting, but I see what you mean. As for more cover, I agree, Ill add some more holes, ridges ect
