[Map] Hainan East (4km) [WIP]

[HughJass]

Map Name: Hainan South (or Sanya East)

Map Size: 4km

Map Region: China, Hainan, Sanya

Map Factions: Version 1 : (Defending) USMC vs (Assaulting)PLA Navy Marines
(current)Version 2 : (Defending) PLA vs (Assaulting) USMC

Map Focus: Mechanized Infantry, Ambhibious Assault, Attack/Trans Helicopter, Armour

Map Characteristics: Jungle, Rural, Urban

Map Type: AAS v3 (around 19 possible flags to cap, thinking of about 4-6 flags at time..)

Well, here is what I've been working on and hinting around the PLANM Forces thread. After over 9000 'PM' exchanges (and counting) with advisor Jonny, we managed to push this out so far. Map is about 50% done, I've got a lot more stuff to put in... and of course a lot of tuning after that. I hope to release a public beta so I could get some help on getting rid of bugs.

We are hoping to do a lot of modifications to the textures (ie fallujah, muttrah) to the available statics to make the map look more authentic.

The maps is very loosely based on this location.

You can see the map it self looks a tad different...

As you can see a lot is changing as I am fine tuning some areas...

Thanks and I hope to hear some good suggestions.

(yes i'm still working on Iron Thunder, but you gotta take breaks from hitting that same old wall, eh?)

[Dr Rank]

Nice work mate. Sky could do with some tweaking, but it showing a great deal of potential. Keep at it

[Z-trooper]

Pretty darn cool mate. Looks like a real nice candidate for the PLANM

I like the atmosphere of the banners and such. Should be some interesting aspects on this map, not to mention assaulting from something else than the Enterprise

[=Romagnolo=]

The map is looking fantastic, even for just a WIP.

The feeling of an urban combat zone is great.

Keep it up !

[google]

Nice work dude, it looks really cool! The urban enviroment looks really realistic compared to most of the current chinese maps.

[Rhino]

looking good so far

[Fluffywuffy]

Secret dragons? :> They still there?

[Pte.Paynter]

I noticed the Difference from your old screens to your latest ones, I love the PR Banner in that cool font if someone could tell be what font that is that he made in the banner, that would make my day, well night I guess, but keep up the good work. I could see this in the PLA as well, The sky looks great but like DR.Rank mentioned could use a little work. This coming from a person who couldn't even make Terran in the Mapping Tool.

But it looks great to me.

keep up the good work, it would be cool to play as well if you need people to test it out feel free to pm me and I would be there in a flash.

again good job, and happy gaming

My thoughts exactly.

[D|ehard]

Nicee

[HughJass]

thanks everyone. I didn't create the banner pvt, It should be found under statics objects/vegitation/pr/banner or something like that.

about the sky, I'm not sure....less cloudy? Ill try and look for something better.

[D|ehard]

It does look a little "dark". As the sky is really light.

Aw okie as I said I wouldn't even know how to make Terran but I model so Pfft, But good job and keep up the good work mate.

Thanks

[rangedReCon]

Some sexy stuff. You need more billboards, that pink one is kinda lame.

[charliegrs]

yes this is good, i think the PLA hasnt gotten enough love in the mapping department lately so this is a very welcome addition.

and im really loving the abrams and LAVs, i dont see them in green enough!

[HughJass]

Yeah, I think for now until the PLANM forces arive I will switch defending (usmc) with the pla.

also, I like my pink billboards...

[smee]

very nice, how about some telegraph poles.

[Scandicci]

Hughjass. Great looking work. Main battle tanks in a semi-urban/industrialized setting is reminiscent of Karkand, where I cut my BF2 teeth. This will make for some interesting gameplay, on the one hand the chinese will want to neutralize the tanks and on the other the US will work to keep them operational. Somewhat like Qwai River but on a much larger scale and with more urban fighting. Great stuff.

thanks everyone. I didn't create the banner pvt, It should be found under statics objects/vegitation/pr/banner or something like that.

ye just a warning, its bugged to **** with its LODs when its ingame so that will need fixing really, its not very apparent on sunset city as its not used much and the view distance is so low you can't see it
