? that all comes down to the the Devs which is the reason I'm planing on making this map PR ready (i.e. all the rules and settings).

Oww I kinda like the suspense...

Go back a few pages and you can see one. Just be aware its not final or the latest.

Are you going to put an other test map on? Or do you leave it for the testers?

My-oh-my! What a LOVELY looking map

. Looking forward to playing this one, mate.

Give me a shout if you ever want it tested. We have an .:iGi:. Community Server that is dedicated for these things (currently running Kashan Nights for example).

Nice, the dry river looks very real, even in the editor.

And this cave system, I want see it, sounds very interesting.

WAY WAY WAY temp and beta.

This one, while now show has multiple levels. More will only be one.

static caves, yeah, nice work, something that most BF2 maps lack of (and yes i know that its quite a lot of work)

Post by **CodeRedFox** » 2008-04-24 07:56

not only allot of work but because the bf2 engine doesn't allow custom meshes, cave systems have to be built at a 90 degree cut in the land geometry

Mora · Post by **Mora** » 2008-04-24 08:37

Looks nice! Only its too light, but i think you already know that.

Post by **AfterDune** » 2008-04-24 08:45

Looking ace, redfox!

Maxfragg · Post by **Maxfragg** » 2008-04-24 08:54

i know, to bad that the terrain maps of bf2 do not support holes (there are some engines, that also use graphic files for the heightmaps, but where you can simply paint thinks pink and get holes in the mesh by doing that, where you can put caves and tunnels in)

ofcause, the lightmaps have not yet been rendered and the cave should blend better with the surrounding terrain

looks excellent!

makes my afghan map project look like ****, you have all the same ideas there, like fighting through a valley, cave systems etc.. you do the same things just in a quarter of the time i need and it looks way better..

keep up the great work man!

is there any chance we get to use the cave statics as well? at the moment i'm building my caves mostly out of stones, also i use cliffs and even tunnels as cover-ups here and there. works ok and looks quite nice in most places so far. but it's a shitload of work to allign everything correctly AND make it look realistic. and those statics of yours look so much better, especially the entrance!

also, since you're a pro in max - could you be bothered to make some more statics like the poppyfields? e.g. take the 50ms rice grid and make some variations out of it?
.. nvm if i'm asking too much, i know you put already a lot of time into this. but it can't hurt to ask.

damn ...i would have done this ages ago if i would know sth about 3dsmax....i found a way to make caves and tunnels in citymaps but its so much work...
keep it up mate
