Operation Ostra Brama

(Wezelkrozum) #21

Easygen exports func_groups entities for the terrain. So, your water was structural.:smiley:

(Qualmi) #22

hehe, i have this too when i do noclip and fly in the void :smiley:

(Blowfish) #23

Anyone knows how to get hold of a russian tank ? Wolfmap has one on, but not the textures needed. And just 1 model woould be easier. Its just going to stand still :smiley:

(Berzerkr) #24

Russian T34
With the needed textures (tank skin in green and yellow).

Ask ischbinz if you may use the tank in your map (donā€™t think he denies your request).

I have milkshape, but cant find the format to importā€¦

(IndyJones) #26

they are way too detailed to use them in mapā€¦ why donā€™t u use the one from radar?

(Blowfish) #27

mmmā€¦ good ideaā€¦ :smiley:

That map is looking awesome so far :slight_smile:
Thereā€™s one thing:

you can see the treeline you made from the top a bit (see screenshot)
I hope itā€™s clear

(Blowfish) #29

Yeh its weard that you can i replaced those top colors with greens. Ill check it again.

edit : there were some grey pixels left, which i changed and made it look a bit better. But for some reason i cant get it out 100%. Think its the maskā€¦

(stealth6) #30

I donā€™t know which treeline you are using but you should check out raybans treelines too.
I remember using those once and covering up the bottoms with a fence and it looked pretty nice.
Also with raybans tree line you can use the mixed line for a solid background and then throw in a different tree here and the for a change of scenery.

Atm its very open for a scrim map, and you should think how are you gonna make the river look natural when it exits the map?

But nice progress so far.

(Blowfish) #31

Yes, river is still a problem. Doesnt look niceā€¦ no idea yet how to fix. I seen the treelines. And thought there was a lying wood log in radar to, cant find it :(. What thing scan you have near a forrest / river ā€¦ we were lost for ideas. I will be adding two tunnel to map. 1th from allies spawn to river, 2th from river to other side river behind rock. Maybe Ill add a dam at one sideā€¦ heheā€¦need those wood logs againā€¦

(Berzerkr) #32

Lying wood is in Goldrush. First Allied spawn, left of the stair. Itā€™s textured like stone, but shouldnā€™t be a problem for you to give it a fitting texture.

The dam is a good idea to give the map a end on the side. Other side a mountain with a small waterfall?

Sometimes you use for the sandbags, boxes and stones the wrong kind of texture (snow and desert instead of temperated).

(Blowfish) #33

Yeh sometimes things are so simple you miss itā€¦ just created a tree log myself and textured it. 1 minute work. removed the snow covers and just made them normal boxes. on the sandbags its not that wrong I think. I thought of a waterfall before, but this is in Vilnius where there are no mountains nearbyā€¦

Will have to lower the rooftops. They are more flat in Vilnius I was told :-).

(Blowfish) #34

The map is finished. Sylar is working on the waypoints for omnibot 0.66. When they are done, I wil make a zip with waypoints, screenshots etc and Iā€™ll send it to bezerkr, to publish it on his great website.

2 thingsā€¦ Anyway to get rid of those odd black triangles? Also, alpha fade the water when it comes up to the edge of the shore?

(Berzerkr) #36

2 things, too: Please replace the texture of the fir trees with a temperated one (you can take it from European Style), currently itā€™s a snow-texture and use the temperated texture for the rocks instead of the desert texture.
Same for the truck if Iā€™m not wrong.

The map will look better then. :slight_smile:

(Blowfish) #37

Euhhā€¦duhh Remember dudezā€¦ noob beginner mapper :smiley:

Black Trianglesā€¦ where ? Alpha fade water ā€¦ euhh how. Fir are those grey / blue trees I guessā€¦ arent they suppose to have that color. I have no idea how to change the texture of a model. Even when I know what you mean by ā€œfrom the European Styleā€.

Am willing to give the .map for a final checkup to someoneā€¦ Indy already did some bug checking on server.

(Berzerkr) #38

Right, fir trees are the trees wich are used in Fueldump and Railgun. Itā€™s a snow-texture wich doesnā€™t fit into the map you made.
You can take the snow-free fir-texture from the European Style and use it in your map.

Freaking Awesome map !!! Realllly good job i really like it !! :smiley: very well done :smiley:
