[Map] 2km Afghan map [WIP]

[[R-CON]Hans Martin Slayer]

i guess the title explains it.

so here are a couple of pics, it's an afghanistan style project.

just very low quality lms so far since it's far from beeing finished. got 1000 other things on my mind right now () so i'm making slow but steady progress.

i've got some other projects in the works as well and i'll post screenies as soon as i think it's good enough to show you.

so have a look and give me some input please, i'll continue working on that one as soon as sp 0.7 is finished and as soon as i've got my r/l issues sorted..

for the overall layout: it's 1024x2, located in an quite large (southern) afghanistan valley, main combat zone is a village with farm land surroundings. blue team will get into action from a small f.o.b., red team will attack the village from hideouts/ caves up in the mountains.

.... more to come, hope you like it



















- i know many things need adjustment, but i could use some 'overall thoughts'...

Nice start! But pleeeeeeease change you sky settings! It'll map your map look 100x better for very little work! Try just putting in a sky.con from another map and tweaking things from there. You could even use the old Helmand Province one and adjust the view distance on it:

4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download sky.con

Keep it up! Post some more screens when you've set up that sky

looks great, but you have the same terrain problem I had. Its easy to fix, I just dont know the terms for it.

load your map in the editor, go into texture edit, and on the right tool bar under the texture tabs[the six textures you have] there's the button to render some sort of textures... I wish I knew the name... Someone else will know... but it will make the distant terrain not look like it does on yours now

Looking great, though the terrain in the first picture is a bit smooth/looks like it was all done with one size brush Mine was like that too until IronTaxi fixed it Hehe

hey thanks for the nice feedback guys!

the skybox is just the first i've picked so far and i'll try out different settings for sure - thanks for the download link!

i didn't think too much about the sky setting so far but like you said - easy change, great effect, so i'll post more pics with dif. settings some time soon.

thanks for the vids as well. actually i get many ideas from vids like that, so bring it on...

factions is totally w.i.p. and i'm open for everything, my main goal is to create a nice navmesh and bring it into pr sp of course, no matter wich teams are on the map.

my first thought was brits vs ins, but i could imagine the canadians or the germans on that one as well since it would fit in imho..

i just make the map - the rest is up to you.

okita: i think i know what you mean, the low detail map thing?! (can't remember at the mo and it's too late to fire up the editor now )

and yea, of course the terrain get's more detailed as soon as i'm sure about the overall layout. especially the terrain around the first pic is very w.i.p. - just the raw layout.

again, thanks for the input - it's greatly appreciated and of course i'll keep you updated.

I can just imagine the Canadians on this map, looking good so far, can only get better!
