Map ive been making for PR Normandy, some people wanted to make questions about it so I made a thread.
Shoot away
Criticism and advice is always apreciated

Dang brother, lookin good

Looks great!

are you planning on adding in the artillery the germans had?

There is aerial photography of that area from pre-DDay recon flights available for download on the internet, you might see very different field separations, and the DDay layout of the towns. It's not critical, but might be worth your time.

wow that looks great!! Cant wait to see it further

hey thanks for the feedback
ive been using myself google earth for the more general area but i will be using aerial photos of the areas like the brecourt manour , ithe national collection of aerial photography doesnt seem to have anything on the sainte marie du mont area which is weird as it is near utah and omaha beach, if you or anyone find or know something about references please pm me or post them here

I dont think it is modeled so ill be using pak 40 as a place holder
I will be thinking on adding 2 tanks on the US side as they came to assistance to clear the german forces around the area after the attack, i will have to get a good balancing between the 2 sides though

HOLY SH*T this looks GOOD. Damn, nice use of the roads too.

Yeah, looks amazing!
Give us moar

Niiice, you got this rolling pretty fast. Impressive work so far.

Winters' team attacked Brecourt Manor, located three miles southwest of Utah Beach and north of the village of Sainte-Marie-du-Mont. There he discovered No. 6 Battery of the 90th Artillery Regiment,[2] consisting of four 105 mm howitzers connected by trenches and defended by a platoon of soldiers.[3]

Winters held that the unit was part of the 6th Fallschirmj?gerregiment (6th Parachute Regiment) with emplaced MG42 machine guns.

A system of trenches + Paks + HMGs would be sweet.

Sure can. We have a bunch of tanks available, perhaps not all are realistic in a Normandy setting, but I'm sure there's something you like.

US has:
- Sherman M4A1
- M26 Pershing (but I think I'll remove that one since we have a Sherman now)

Germany has:
- Panzer III-J
- Panzer IV-D
- Panzer IV-F2
- Stug III-B

the first 2 tanks out of the ships in utah came to brecourt, i couldnt get any info on the type but im presuming sherman?s
it would be epic to have the little stuart tanks around, if anyone would model them i would love them forever
other things that would be great for normandy maps would be a french Manor type static and some detail goodies
anyways thanks for the support

PS: if someone could tell me how to can i make appear the PR:N vehicles in the spawner list
i just cant make it happen ;(

Also updated the first post with 2 more screens

For the last screen, you need proper intersections. Just painting one road on top of another doesnt cut it, imo. I dont know about those vehicles, but i think you have to extract them from oparation overlords object zips into the apropriate folder, i think.

I would be interested in making that manor, but cant promise when i will start it and when i will complete it. If I recall correctly, there was one guy making the brecourt manor already, he had a thread on it in community modding...

-lucky

EDIT: Found it
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f388-p ... manor.html

However, its only a request, seems like nobody really started on it, but theres a bunch of refs in that thread.

Find objects_client.zip and objects_server.zip in "pr/levels/project_normandy/objects/". Extract both these zipfiles into your "objects" folder of your "pr_edit".

That should do the trick .



Regarding your undergrowth grass, I think it's prettier to use hexagon grass. Give it a try, see if you like it.

yeah i dont think there is a need for an exactly reproduced brecourt manor but more of general one that can be used multiple times, as just in the area of my map there are at least 3 large manors
on the road intersections i ont think its a huge deal but ill see what i can do

tried that already 3 times still didnt work
the objects just dont appear in the list

You start the editor and select "pr_edit", right? Good.

Now, through Windows Explorer, go to your BF2-directory, then mods/pr_edit/objects/vehicles/land/.
Once there, there should be folders like "ger_tnk_p4d" and the likes.

If not, the files have not been extracted there.

Stuart would be good for more INF oriented stuff, but a sherman does fine aswell.

ok i think i found a way to fix the objectspawner problem,
one more thing if anyone wants to do an object that is like this

it would be great

I think there's a wire fence somewhere in the static objects.

I went through the files and didnt find anything like that in there, and would do it, i just need dimensions, because from that picture its really hard to see. I need heigh and interval between two posts, rodrigoma, please.
Also i would make it with 4-sided posts, not these tree branches like on the picture, but i think it wont matter

-lucky

If I were you I'd just stick with the wooden fences, they are good, have their cols set for vehicles etc.
