Heya folks,

I think we need more grozny and shija like maps. I want to play in some dark-destroyed/foggy maps, where you can feel the tensions of war.

I just can't get enough of Grozny.

I too, demand more maps! MORE MAPS OR RIOT!

MAKE MORE MAPS NAOW

MEDIEVAL MINIMOD RIGHT NOW!

let me just fire up the random map generator

Haha already got some nice generated maps?

That's actually should be doable.

Steps to implement:
1. Heightmap generator. Simple raw greyscale image.
2. Color, lowdetail, detail texture maps. Bunch of dds files + need to reverse materials struct.
3. OG\UG generator needs OG materials struct reversed, otherwise same rgb bunch of dds.
4. Roads generator, need to edit heightmap, textures, and compile dem roads to roadmeshes.
5. Statics generator - format is known, only thing needed is bunch of templates for blocks(partially already in PR for our mappers, caches script)
6. GPO generator - usually being done by meatbags, dont need a script here.

Need more python coders as always.

would it be possible to use laser scanner and implement that data to map editor somehow? Asking for a friend that has access to a RIEGL laser scanner

Why don't we hook up your head to PR! That way you will always slave for us!

Yes, with a quality loose. Just need someone to do export import stuff.

If you want new maps, make them... [Maps] The Tutorial/Tool List for PR Mapping, for beginners & up

You mean something like this?

Yes,yes !

Dark clouds, maybe some kind of a retro look to it. I absolutely adore such maps

How hard is it to get into it ? I mean, I did some mapping in battlefield 1942 but that was almost 15 years ago.

It isn't hard to get into mapping, most of the tutorials are there (although some have broken pics and the ones that aren't you can find on web archives), the main thing required is a lot of time and dedication to make a map.

Takes an hour to set everything up, it takes months or years to get anywhere.

I just can't get enough of Grozny.

Those two maps don't get played a lot which is a shame, good luck getting servers running maps other than Saarema 24/7.

Yeah I was thinking of doing a Grozny 24/7 server. But I think times are gone where you could do 24/7 maps like the kokan and muttrah ones , a couple of years ago

Grozny is like: You WILL have fun, doesn't matter if you just do defense or resupply your squad. Snipers on the roof, bloody grenadiers in every window, the sound of roaring tank/apc engines compared with the destroyed City... Sometimes i wonder if there is some kind of PR-PTSD

Saarema? Never played that. I only know Fallujah (aka ISIS seeding), Muttrah and Server Crash.
