topas 1 Posted March 6, 2012 Always happy to see another European terrain. Looks very promissing, if I just could have one suggestion - try rotating some of the trees and hedgerow bushes (screens 2,5,7) for a more lifelike feel maybe? Oterwise great and really looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeza 5416 Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for the kind words all @topas Sizes and shapes of bushes will vary ect, but as for the part you refer to im using an exact copy of a actual picture and thats as close as it gets, however if the feel does become an issue i'll change. Small update, they'll be some uk road signs, brick pillboxes from WWII era which are still left over around here. Went out and took some so you guys can get an idea of what to expect (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/4ee7f427.jpg). Will be a pond or two as well, also british Architecture. Right no more work tonight going to watch my Arsenal throw away their 3-0 lead at halftime and break my heart! . Cheers Jeza Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC39 1 Posted March 7, 2012 Map's looking good fella, can't wait to see it with some proper green English foliage! I've just started work on a Western Europe map myself, mine's the other side of London though, and I've only just finished my Sat image tonight so I'm a waaaay off release lol, I'm sure interested in how your planning to tackle your map's theme, the mail boxes etc that others have been talking about - my map is a built up urban area and I'm starting to worry about getting the English feel across without too much resource hogging detail and objects :/ One question / thought btw, is your terrain all finished now? Just looks a little flat to me - for good game play I'd suggest you break up the map a little more, doesn't really matter how but you normally need some sort of cover, whether it's buildings and walls, vegetation, elevation variation etc. Large open areas with no cover or variation don't lend themselves well to varied game play. Having said that, it DOES look good for vehicle and armor use :). Anyways, Good Luck! DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jez, you definitely rang some bells there. Great work so far. I always thought someone would go for the Isle of Wight seeing as it's an island. But Kent is one of the nicest part of the UK ("England!" shat up) and I imagine there's plenty of flat terrain there? Should one want to encourage tank battles or random strolls with the local women from Strood. I think someone's made British road signs if you want to use them! All the best to you Jez.

jacknorrisuk 146 Posted April 10, 2012 This is -AMAZING-. Well, I'm from Essex, so my invading army on this map will always be from the North! Is it too far West to be able to reenact the War and Peace show at Tunbridge Wells? The roads are real nice too. Loving the double yellow lines, phoar.

jeza 5416 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the words above, sorry did not reply earlier! @DC39, cheers, will have signs and english Architectural structures along the line, read below, also some pill boxes (hopfully) from the area I live in. @the rest of you mukers, many thanks! Update Hello all, update for you all, have not been able to commit enough time on the map as I would have like'd, ideally I would have like to had it out the door since the last update, but have been busy with other such things you all know how it is, so apologies there. I thought I would post some screens after today small session, by now you should get the idea of what to expect, lots of english countryside, Uk buildings are in the pipes, no eta on them, so may release a placeholder with just UK roads and update at a later point. Anyway don't want to take up to much of your time, so here are the screens: 1They'll be few houses out in the sticks along with some ponds, found in deeper forrest area's: 2A Council estate area: 3Farming complex within the village of bidborough: 4Forrest backdrop from the farm: 5Couple more screens from the far end of bidborough: HD links - 15+ Screens http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-46-10-49.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-46-42-90-1.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-46-55-25.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-47-26-12-1.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-47-56-51.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-48-45-91.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-49-29-11-1.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-50-14-65.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-51-18-37.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-51-58-20.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-52-32-97-1.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-52-44-13-1.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-53-05-76.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-54-42-90.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-55-29-48-1.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-57-57-00.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2012-04-2621-58-56-13-1.jpg Once i'm happy with placements ect, they'll be a lot more detail and clutter added.

jeza 5416 Posted May 4, 2012 Good to see you still slaving away on this, Jeza. Best of luck getting it complete. :) Cheers mate, wish i was slaving away at it though, would be much farther along :D . Some more Wips, put in the gas works down south :rolleyes: , its not completed, they'll be much more than in these screens, more buildings and road networks in it, also some early wips on a council area here.

domokun 515 Posted May 4, 2012 Looks great except that some of the hedgerows and tree-lined roads appear a little too straight. I know there are Roman roads in Kent but still... Also, the Russian Orthodox church looks somewhat out of place. Maybe you could "borrow" a Norman church from the i44 mod. Personally I can't wait for this, I can just imagine an alternative reality mission where Operation Sealion actually succeeded and you can fight in the desperate campaign of Home Guard against advancing Wehrmacht forces, sprinkled with Fallschirmjäger.

Thanks for the reply The church of course is a placeholder, some of the custom stuff coming in on the map is backed up as the authors of them are currently very busy, So I may need to delve into the MBG buildings i believe its called. hedge rows need a tweaking as there not all looking as they should as well, few decisions to be made for sure, thanks for pointing it out anyhow.

jacknorrisuk 146 Posted January 20, 2013 Any progress on this project lately? Or is it a cancelled job? It'd be sad if this never got released. We need a UK map! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 20, 2013 Bumping an old wip thread asking for an update is rather useless. Since the author has not posted in so many months you can assume its either cancelled or on a long hold. If you really need to know PM an author instead of bumping old threads. You are here long enough to know so infraction +1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeza 5416 Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Here's your quarterly update :p . Not dead, just busy with pre-med and such, finally got around to it for the first time in months in the last few days, got rather far, Main roads are complete, as are most side roads, will probably change the clutter at some-point also. Featured below is the now complete farming and fields area, a large area with hay-bails, because you know.......its a farmers field. Also featured is, the downtown...town i guess you can call it residential area with flats, shops, recreational area and more semi-detached houses (with sheds!) Also we have country lanes featured below with public footpaths throughout most of the forests which actually lead somewhere! Aside from the roads Uk architecture to follow, however maybe initial release without idk yet. Also thanks to bushlurker for the tips regards Jeza Edited February 11, 2013 by Jeza credit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisb 196 Posted February 11, 2013 Spent my early years living in Kent, so it brings back some memories. Got the feel of the open areas, the row of buildings there in the last pic, don’t seem to fit in. I know its hard with UK buildings, not that many which suit. The update pics are great, thanks. A great looking terrain and work. I will be looking forward to this.:). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many thanks, and yeah tweaks to clutter/grass, possibly a re-jig of the sat-map will follow, however just going to stick with placing for the mo then do that stuff so I can see what looks best with everything on.

Hey mate, thanks for the comment, Yeah the open areas are turning out good especially some hedge rows and farming areas (plus as they are open areas I dont have to place anything :D ). I see were your coming from for the buildings, in that screen, firstly, that area is part of the main 'town/largevillage' but that specific area is hardly touched so it'll blend in, as for the look of the buildings themselves, I've had a look at what available at the moment for UK architecture, and really as you mentioned not much, so either I'll release firstly with these as placeholders, more likely i'll have something else up my sleeve :) (Cough Cough Rabidus & maybe if he reappears Martin :p ) - Only if it coincides with their work. http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn176/JezaRCB/arma2oa2013-02-1120-31-41-14_zpsfb46a815.jpgHe's driving on the wrong side of the road!! But seriosuly, any way to address the issue and have UK traffic in ArmAII? (just curious, as I have never looked into this kind of issues) Ahhh got 3 posts in with someone noticing :D Yeah actually tried do such a thing with no joy, for the moment we'll have to be continental. - Thanks for comments and interest shown, will try get a chunk done over the week & weekend, tonight is however colonial marines night!
