Project Reality Forums

So, PR wants their maps to based on something 'real life' related. Like an actual place. I'm not planning on making a map for PR yet, not even thinking about it. But when I do I want it to be the best I can make it.

So, how do you guys who have based maps on real places go about it? I have a map, both road map and sattelite (very detailed) of an area. But is there anywhere I can find out how to make everything as close to scale as possible?

Seeing as we can now create 17sqKM maps (something i will eventually encounter, im sure), I want to take advantage when I get to it.

I noticed in Rhinos previews of muttrah, he has a template almost, of the roads he expects to work on. Almost like he copied and pasted a road map on the terrain to work over. Can someone point me in the general direction of where I can learn about that method? I imagine it would help with creating a map to scale.

Also, one LAST question. 17kmsq maps are maps that are size-1024 and scale-4 correct?

Thanks for reading all that

he did copy a map a place it there....talk to desert fox....he can show you the light...

thanks mister iron taxi

I wouldn't think about that stuff yet

what you do thou is you use BF2Tpaint to split your image you have taken into sections, then put it into the editor files thou I would try and learn more about how the BF2 maps, and the editor works before doing it.

of course, thanks for keeping me on 'the right path' as it were

and ye, 4km x 4km maps are 1024 x 4 maps but dont attempt one yet, they need extra bits of code etc to work.

yea, thats what I gathered. Just wanted to 'prepare' myself for the future. thanks again man!
