Drifter 167 Posted August 9, 2016 I managed to catch the stream on Monday.....I found it absolutely fascinating to watch you build those beautiful compounds. It really shows why this terrain is the one your most proud of. Thank you for going that little bit extra to stream your WIP....inspirational stuff indeed. Thank you for the kind words and stopping by, I will definitely have plans for future streams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drifter 167 Posted August 16, 2016 Hey guys! New small update and a few pictures! - New lighting installed (No more black horizon). - New land elevations (No more complete flatness... almost). - Some fields and farming areas have been (Bushified). - Closer to the pre-beta release. - Fixed the error with buildings gray boxes not showing up on the navigation map. New issue - Grass not showing (I possibly know a fix) A few pictures of some of the new fields, towns and lighting: New streams planned on Sunday and Monday (8/21 and 8/22) @ 4:00PM Pacific Time, US. Feel free to drop in, ask questions about the terrain or just talk. Thank you! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted August 16, 2016 Looking good! Regarding the photos, would those be from a very cloudy day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drifter 167 Posted August 17, 2016 Looking good! Regarding the photos, would those be from a very cloudy day? I do believe so, I'm not really sure to be honest. I just loaded in editor, placed a unit and took screenshots. Didn't change the weather at all or even look at it. However I did change my setting such as brightness and contrast a little bit, maybe thats why they look a bit washed out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted August 17, 2016 Yeah I'm sure that's why. The photos remind me of Apex-gate. :) Could you get any photos from a nice sunny day without adjusting anything so we can see how the lighting is going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt M. Perez 0 Posted August 22, 2016 Really excited for this map. Just catching this. Wanted a good Afghan map for some time. You may have answered this somewhere, but do you know the approx size of this map? 5km x 5km? 20km x 20km? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drifter 167 Posted August 29, 2016 Really excited for this map. Just catching this. Wanted a good Afghan map for some time. You may have answered this somewhere, but do you know the approx size of this map? 5km x 5km? 20km x 20km? Its actually fairly small, 6km x 6km. But due to the detail and amount of compounds and buildings it will feel larger than what it is when clearing from building to building. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drifter 167 Posted October 14, 2016 Bad news... again... For some reason, everything I terraformed went back to being flat except for the hill/mountain on the bottom right of the terrain. This is the 3rd time, the tools have failed on my system with some sort of game breaking experience. This is the most depressing moment of my terrain building experience, all of the objects are still in place but the rivers, the terrain land detail is all gone back to default of when I first started this project. This is 100% my favorite terrain I was most proud of. I hate investing all this time in these terrain to only make it half way then a failure happens, it is really frustrating and annoying. I want to help bring new detailed terrains to the community but things like this happen, where it reverts me weeks and even multiple months back. The MOST angering and depressing part is the pre-beta release was literally just a week away and again, this happens! I don't know guys. I want to still deliver, I don't want to drop another project away from the community. Again the objects are still placed and I can still edit the terrain, so this may not be the end of the terrain. I plan to continue for the community and the followers of this terrain. Updates will be posted and a release may be here soon with just some basic terraforming done such as the rivers and other main features, the fields and open areas will be just be flat... some with a few rocks and bushes. Thank you guys for any support, and updates will come soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeroesandvillainsOS 1504 Posted October 14, 2016 Obvious question I'm sure you looked into it but do you have a backup or a trusted friend that's followed the development that may have a slightly older file you can use handy? Granted I know nothing about terrain building so my apologies if that's a stupid suggestion on my end. Sorry that keeps happening to you. I heard somewhere there was a discord where terrain builders hang out. Maybe you can reach out to those guys that are intimate with the tools for a suggestion to save what you lost? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domokun 515 Posted October 14, 2016 Roll-back; one of the most feared words in software development. Courage brother. When it becomes too much, take a break. Then you can return with fresh ideas. it helps avoiding burn-out. It's a labour of love, not a merciless obligation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
