LykosMactire 298 Posted August 17, 2018 Man you are quickly becoming one of the "Greats" of map making. I wonder what other kinds of terrains we can see in the future from you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uscg pilot 12 37 Posted August 17, 2018 id say blud is easily one of the great with the few maps hes put out to us. the varied terrain and details in vidda alone are worth more then a couple of maps combined. i still have found any bunkers even after following dead end roads but im still hunting lol. hopefully you get your rig up and running again soon so we can see more of your work ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AveryTheKitty 2626 Posted August 20, 2018 Is it just me or is the snow clutter missing entirely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bludski 4421 Posted August 20, 2018 It was removed. edit: Because I can't get it to match up with the terrain shading in more than half the day cycle and that is using the grass shader. The other shaders are even worse for the purpose as they don't even use the terrain shading. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bludski 4421 Posted August 22, 2018 About the snow: It might return later.. This is ALPHA afterall.. The problem is deep in the engine. If I can come up with a hacky way where the snow clutters don't stand out like it does at any other time than noonish, then it might return. That entirely depends on fakery and is nothing I can spend further time on doing. I might include an optional pbo to return it if there is demand. But it will be in the broken state it was before. The clutter model is still included. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King_of_Gondor12 0 Posted August 24, 2018 Hey mate, not sure if you've heard it before, but I think Vidda has a memory leak in it, just had a crash to desktop while attempting to explore it through the Eden Editor. It maxed out my RAM, which has never happened before except on maps with memory leaks in them. But besides that, Vidda is beautiful, and I hope that it continues to beat out the rest of the maps out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other mods that work similarly to it may also cause this issue. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've found two and I'm going insane trying to find the "basement" bunker. If you can't it's cool but god damn did you hide these bunkers well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bludski 4421 Posted September 5, 2018 I have put Vidda on the shelf for a little while to give PKL some long needed love. There will be massive changes and I think you will like them: If you have been following the progress with my Cambodia experiments for some time, you probably know of my other jungle terrain experiments. I have decided to take the best and most playable ideas from them and put them in PKL. This will result in a slightly more open layout but with denser patches of jungle than the massive forest it used to be. This should give a lot more options for gameplay and let you use higher view ranges. Evergrowing gallery of wip pics: https://imgur.com/a/jHUiI79 https://twitter.com/bludclouds Be sure to follow me on twitter if you want to keep up with changes. Some times I do polls to see what you guys think about ideas there too. 16 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok. I didn't know that. Maybe instead you could make the lakes/rivers look frozen over? Just a thought. Even without the lakes and rivers, I still love this map!

Anton Sotty 0 Posted September 15, 2018 hey bludski, vidda is a great map but i was hoping that you would reveal the locations of bunkers cuz i rlly want to make a mission but finding them is just time wasting and aggravating, i know it adds something to do but in then case of some mission creators its just a pain in the arse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only found two of them. 052937 or south of Filledal, and 041032 in the northern region marked by a green text labeled "Hilde" You can also easily find them in the editor by scanning over the map and looking for any odd topography lines; due to the creator having to lower the terain to give the player the illusion of being under the surface of the map. Author/mod please delete if this is disclosing too much information. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeTeT 1523 Posted September 18, 2018 @QQster Thanks for the info, but you could please wrap it in a spoiler tag? That's the eye beside the smiley on the editor tab. Spoiler Nice find :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bludski 4421 Posted September 22, 2018 Short preview of what is coming on the lower PKL river. (this is highly work in progress and very much lacking in roads, paths and object placement related to people living there. Put on your favourite Nam war music because i goofed and the audio was lost.. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bludski 4421 Posted October 2, 2018 VIDDA is now permanently on hold or cancelled. I'm tired and sick of LIFERPG cretins who don't respect licenses, ask for permision, don't get them and still steal my shit. This entirely drains my inspiration for doing this at all. Will be back with more as the situation develops. PKL is still in the works and there will be a BIG update soon! 4 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Kong 148 Posted October 2, 2018 I am sorry to hear that, I love your maps, but I respect your decision, while I don't like saying everyone in a group is bad, the sheer amount of times this stuff has happened in the Life community has permanently colored my perception of them. I hope you will return to Vidda in the future 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k4ble 71 Posted October 2, 2018 With "their" costum map they would probably charge $5 extra on the monetized server. I guess some do anything to make their server stand out. Shamefull 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
