Ha brilliant martin, many thanks, il use these along with what i get done by the time the pm arrives. as i decided to do the way you came up with and it is alot easier, just need to work out how to curve the roads for corners getting correct road types to fit.

I almost forgot, there is a way to do that too:

1) Zoom out in Visitor so you can see the whole map on your .

2) In the Panel of objects window (where you have all your objects and stuff) click on the dropdown box and select "background images"

3) Click "new image" and then find the image that you want to use as your background. (I believe it has to be in .BMP format).

Tip: You don't really need a high resolution image for this; I think a 1024x1024 pixel screenshot form Google Earth will do you nicely. But try to do all the roads in go because I don’t think the background image will be there when you save and open the project again.

As for road curves I'll make a little video for you Shorty showing you how to use my roads.

Many thanks again. Im just using ctrl and mouse at the moment then stick another road on the end of one untill the curve is complete. Obviously for roads im using road networks, annoying thing is having to go through each tick box thing each time i click a road, but i guess thats what copy and paste is for!

Update WIP Neighborhood type shots

Right on the roads now, this is to give you a rough idea what what small neighborhoods will be like, and look at those british roads mmm! Many thanks to Martin for taking his time to make and give me the roads :)

As i said this should look like most settlement area's apart from the main housing area which will look more neat middle class type area.

*Note around half the buildings will be custom (hopefully) and there will be road signs (british)

Very nice and fast progress Jeza :smile:

But for the roads I would recommend this biggrin.gif:

On a serious note tough, how did you make the terrain for this island, did you do it manually in Visitor or with a height map?

I think we may be able to quickly fix the sharp bumps on the roads tough so people don't spill their tea.

A nice high resolution satellite mask will also look nice on this island, since its only 5x5 km it won't take a very long time and I can help you with it.

I'll PM you regarding the height map later today.

Keep it up good.gif

Hello all

Update for you the map had been on hiatus since september of last year, but recently I have been able to get back into the swing of things thanks in so small part to martin who has been invaluable with his help and assistence in the project.

So I thought I would post to let you know the project is not dead and there also are some screenshots I grabbed for you to look at. Nothing to special in the screens but just showing you what I do as I go, also you can expect some custom architecture along the line as well as the roads. Once again the map is early stage, but there's a rough time frame of a month or so for release, but don't hold me to it, I drink to much to hold deadlines!

Id randomly set the azimuth of the bushes more. Id also look into Betons summer veg mod, so you can have green trees instead of the annoying orange (see what i did there?) trees that are all over chernarus.

Indeed, the bushes and tree placement are not final nor the actual tree type themselves once i get into that within the next few days on this corner of the map i hope to rectify a few things.

Cheers. lol maybe not so much here, could always add a maidstone map after :)
