So, long time away from this and now that my PC is back figured i'd get something out of it.

Although there are still some parts I'm gonna need to review or add stuff, and I haven't set AAS order yet, here's a build of the map for whoever wants to test it and see how's it going.

Download Here

obs:Still uploading, if you can't download now try again later.

Some screenshots now with most lightmaps generated;

errr.. a little something didn't exactly work out but was worth a try

this is looking very much nice!
i just wish you replace the vanilla's statics for the custom pr statics, that are so much better!

looking good! you have come on quite abit since your first map and when you started this

some bits i noticed.

In this image you can see the market stand has some lightmapping erros, 100% black

You should not overlap these fileds, they look really crappy where they are.

quite afew objects in this shot dont look lightmapped like that office building to the right (the one with the ramp) + aload of crates etc, infact mosto f the objects aint lightmapped

You should not use chinese statics in a ME map as it loads a entierly new texture pallet, replace thous chinese walls with ME city walls.

If you look down the street your fog dose not match the sky and you can see the "gray" fog on the buildings, on a blue background... probaly need to fix your sky texture and your fog colour.

apart from that the screens are looking gd, dont like the minimap thou you should use a generated ingame minimap IMO, or do what the EoD guys have done and make it look like a real map.

Thanks on the points Rhino...

Yeah lightmaps haven't been 100% generated (in fact maybe not even 50%)
but I'd want ppl to see if it's running smoothly on their PCs and point static misusage, etc (like the wall thing I hadn't remembered about).

Also I haven't yet replaced all sidewalks with the original ones (i used the xpack ones and they don't have lightmap samples)

@luizinho

The map has already more than 3000 statics, if I use PR's village houses it would lag too much

@ Sterruwe
Just hold on about 5mins and try again, upload is finishing.

Generate lightmaps on Medium and it shouldnt be a prob. in v0.604 OB basrah has around abouts 5 or 6000 statics in it, thou ive just cut that down quite abit with medium lightmaps, the prob has gone more or less

Looks nice right now. Just one thing, I see these shots are taken from the editor am I correct? Now the only problem with that is your sun flare looks right in the editor. In game, it'll be wrong.

No, those are in-game screenshots.
Since I changed my video card sunflare is showing up in-game, weird hehe.

Methinks you edited an old map.

Look closely, this map has a screenshot identical to the other map. It's not that he's doing anything wrong, the old map was made by him too, but never released.

Actually I didn't rename the pics so they just remained like "screenshot23" and since I replaced them in photobucket, they are showing up like that in the other thread

If I ever get time after I finish this one and Chuncheng I might try to "fix" Al Taji cause I think it looked good hehe...
