[Map] Carentan (2km) [WIP]

[Rabbit]

Map was created by Bad1n, but due to him taking a leave of absence, I am doing the final touches, lighting, OG fields, updating the city and creating gamemodes, though 99% of the work was done by him.

AAS 64 will be as historically accurate as I can make it.

Will also have VW, which I am looking forward to on this one.

Pictures for you all.

Needs some UG grass no?

Looks much better then I thought. Love the terrain and colors.

Editor shots, no UG turned on or else you get that weird see through look. You know what I'm talking about.

Wasn't it 4km?

Anyway, good to see it being completed, especially by you.

i would not use the vBf2 sandbags ... they look so aweful

Looks good but I'm a bit worried about how you seem to be working on three different maps at the same time and even scrapped one as a result?

the vBF2 sandbags are the best ones we have ingame unless someone is willing to make a entire new replacement set. The others ingame aren't a good replacement.

Only really from the minimap. Not working on the grid means less accurate placement which can result in gaps between statics etc since the BF2 editor can only save the object position/rotation to so many decimal places and working on the grid seriously speeds up how fast you can map and what you can also do with the terrain. Although I agree in some cases best to work off the grid, especially if your making a r/l location but a lot of modern cities etc are built on a grid now.

Looks awesome! Are those custom fences on the 3rd pic from the bottom(left side of pic, wooden fence)? Is it possible to share them?

I'm not sure what reffs bad1n used when making the level, but like I said, I'm just finishing it up, not major overhauls.

You have every right to be concered, I actually brought this up yesterday to someone. Shikotan needs lightmaps, and lightmap optimization. I'm also starting college in the spring. So I don't know if I will be able to really continue mapping once that starts, as I have been out of school for over half a decade. So I can't spend the week-week and a half doing all of that for shik.

However, Omaha, is pretty much done, might add a couple more layers, but its done. So all I really have is Sbeneh.

They are one of the many statics you will find in pr:ww2. Its actually used in the last version of shikotan for download in the thread, but I would get permission from arc again.
