  1. In case someone is still remembering my little baby: After a 3 year long hiatus on Map Building/A3 in general im working at a massive overhaul of Pianosa at the moment:

     

    •  A new heightmap (Much more elevation, no more flat island!) (mostly done)
    • A remodelled Sattelite Map (in Work)
    • ~10 new locations (military camps, air control, new artificial airport, etc) (Working on it)
    • Overhauled ground texturing
    • Fixed bugs
    • Reworked some older locations

    I may be able to release a first test version of the rework with the new heightmap and the new locations soon, but until that: Here are some beauty shots:

  2. Hey Fellows!

    Since my internship is ending soon (after 7 months) i will have more time again and will start to improve Pianosa again.

    So please, if you found any errors in the last few months of testing pls write them here or send me a PM with location and description of the error!

    maybe someday, this will be a finished island! :)

    Greetz, Don!

    (and i hope you guys still like it. let me know!)


  3. Hey! The map looks really good for!

    But keep the AI and the overall gameplay in mind, those dense forests (beneath the streets) will be very hard for the players to fight against KI. Also the framerate may drop in this area (depending on how dense it really is, maybe i'm wrong :D )

    Also, are you in the skype Map Maker channel? Could be worth joining it for many, many, many tips!

    Greetz, Don


  4. Hey!

    At the moment i'm thinking about splitting the map in some smaller parts, which could be released one after another. At the moment i am working on the southeast part of the map, so i could maybe release a version of only the lower left part "soon" (that means it still some months maybe :D)


  5. Are you using Jbad Buildings if not i would recommend replacing all A2 assets with the Jbad Buildings.

    Yeah, i am using JBAD! Best desert-y buildings available at the moment. I may add Opteryx' Buildings as soon as they are available.

    Greetz, Don!

    EDIT: Oh, i forgot to mention the new Harbor! NepAJSkl.jpg

  7. Loving the map, can't wait for an update.

    Porto di la scola :)

    Thank you for the kind words! Atm i'm working on my new project Golan, so i don't have that much time left for Pianosa.

    Right now Pianosa is on ~90% finished with the object placment (Stuff like editing the mask for example still needs to be done (eventhough the mask is already heavy edited and useful!)

    So the question is: Would you guys prefer another alpha/beta-release (with A LOT of new stuff!) or would you prefer waiting until i find the time to make a "real" release?

    Greetz, Don! :)


  8. Thank you :)

    I have a question for all of you! What would you like more? A loyal-to-reality version or a modified (for gaming/look) version? I am talking about the countryside, cities and villages will be modified for gaming purposes :)

    For example: My version of a hill: 6kqkadbl.jpg

    and the real hill: https://www.google.de/maps/place/Golan/@32.787601,35.632645,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1s-L8X2mV3DBMA%2FT6jofGYo9qI%2FAAAAAAAABOk%2FYTyIio5VlUw!2e4!3e12!6s%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2F-L8X2mV3DBMA%2FT6jofGYo9qI%2FAAAAAAAABOk%2FYTyIio5VlUw%2Fs203-k-no%2F!7i1024!8i683!4m2!3m1!1s0x151ea86dae7bdc5f:0xe12ffe365d6c370a

    what do you think? I think i would prefer a modified approach, because without any vegetation/few vegetation you would have many troubles to get to your operation area.

    greetz, Don!
