digitalcenturion 20 Posted February 28, 2015 Regarding the A2 objects they are the same regardless wether it is A3MP, AIA TP or eventually CUP that will provide them for A3. Ie they just point to certain 3d objects with a certain path. The vibe is going to be balkan, but it is obviously based on Finnish terrain. The generic feel is going to be distinctly eastern, yet not necessary one certain place or city. A good example of this is the world of Half Life 2: references from here and there but hard to pinpoint exactly what it is supposed to be, yet it feels real.

digitalcenturion 20 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) I'm (slowly) learning to model architecture for my Suomenlinna-map and I might take a stab at the two bigger bridges you posted. They seem simple enough model-wise and even if you end up not using them, I can always use them myself :) Thanks, sorry for the late reply. That would be absolutely great! Yeah the models are not complicated in themselves. And they could even be made into one or two types of general bridge. Anyways, thanks a lot!

badluckburt 78 Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks, sorry for the late reply. That would be absolutely great! Yeah the models are not complicated in themselves. And they could even be made into one or two types of general bridge. Anyways, thanks a lot! Not a problem. I'm close to wrapping up my current project for now and will get started on these right after I do. I had a quick fly-around your map the other day and while that's quite some roads, I can't really see how it would affect performance that much so I hope they'll look after that ticket you made or at least explain what's going on.

digitalcenturion 20 Posted March 1, 2015 I haven't gotten around to making the ticket yet :) But, maybe the game keeps the entire road network in memory at the same time and when enough units do pathfinding it comes crashing down. Or perhaps (hopefully) it's just a bug the devs haven't noticed yet because altis Ãs nowhere near that limit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikiforos 450 Posted March 2, 2015 DigitalCenturion please don't give up , this map got huge potential to be one of the best maps ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalcenturion 20 Posted March 2, 2015 Oh no worries about that, I don't know when to stop :P I am currently making the best of a 6hrs ferry ride to select what roads to keep and what to ditch... I think I can squeeze most roads of imporantce in the 1400 road part budget :) Currently at just over 1000 but I have the entire city and all the main roads, so the dirt paths will fit nicely in the remainder. A lot of shorter stumps will be absent of course but it may be just as well regarding the AI. Then I hope to be once and for all done with the road network :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outbreakdv 11 Posted March 2, 2015 Wow, this looks really nice. Good job so far. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalcenturion 20 Posted March 2, 2015 Ok Now I have selected a road network consisting of 1435 road path networks, spanning 1328km. It is quite a reduction from the previous but if the gameplay is smoother as a result I think it is worth it. A lot of the paths in my original network are more or less useless small stumps etc. This means that I am one step further from a 1:1 world, so I am glad I decided to only loosely base my terrain on the RL location.

digitalcenturion 20 Posted March 3, 2015 Good news, tested the simplified road network by playing DUWS RHS:Escalation edition and it worked great. Some screenshots. It seems I can start populating this map in earnest soon, and ofcourse giving the satmap some more TLC... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalcenturion 20 Posted March 4, 2015 Added some city buildings today, the blocks are pretty generic so far but I aim to iteratively add more detail to the city as soon as I have a generic cover of buildings. So far performance is good still, and I think it looks still even with this generic placement and wrong ground textures etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikiforos 450 Posted March 4, 2015 Looks really good DigitalCenturion Yeah it does, the only thing that I hoped for was more modern buildings. However it's DigitalCenturion's map and his decision :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haleks 8212 Posted March 4, 2015 I really love how the Arma2 buildings look on this terrain, looking forward to seeing more of this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalcenturion 20 Posted March 4, 2015 This map scream after tank battles! :) Heh yeah the large rolling fields in the north will be good venues for tank battles for sure :) Looks really good DigitalCenturion Thanks! Yeah it does, the only thing that I hoped for was more modern buildings. However it's DigitalCenturion's map and his decision :) The part you are seeing now is the main city core with 19th century architechture, to the NW is the medieval city with smaller houses and less spacious streets, and outside of this will be more modern suburbs, industrial and commercial areas. I wish there were more modern building types avaliable, though. I really love how the Arma2 buildings look on this terrain, looking forward to seeing more of this! Thanks, I like how to look turned out, it's very City 17-esque :) Still plenty of time to get in on the fun placing buildings, *wink wink* I think I will post the next public preview on friday, next week I will be enjoying some R&R on Madeira so no progress then.
