[Map] Baran Khooni (2km) [WIP]
Name: Op. Black Thunderstorm
Location: Iran/Pakistan (fictional) Size: 2km Factions: TBA (most likely MEC to be featured) Gamemodes: TBA Minimap: Outpost/main base (wip): Alright, started my first actual project from scratch (well technically 3rd but the 2 previous ones got demolished on the old HDD). I dont really got much going for now but still decided to make this thread and hopefully actually finish this. The minimap unfortunately doesnt show much (yes for now its mostly a huge ass flat area with a couple of mountains) |

Re: [Map] Baran Khooni (2km) [WIP]
cool but a few quick pointers. First of all when using t-paint, uncheck the "mirror texture" option unless your not using a tillable texture as it sucks and you can see its repetitive results on your minimap. Also your colour texture IMO is far too grainy and doesn't really work as a result. A nice smooth colour is much better and more realistic looking
As for your main, good start but I wouldn't have watch towers and make sure you use the "b" versions of the tent_v2(b) |

Re: [Map] Baran Khooni (2km) [WIP]
Being a 2km desert map make sure you place some cover in the flat places. Like wrecked stuff along the road and rocks at other places, irregular terrain, etc.
I think you could make an AASv4 route based around the main road, with things like a gas station and other oil stuff along the road |

And about the tents. I actually have a tough time finding the tent_v2(b). I knew that there was a more optimized version of the tent_v2 but there aint no staticobject of that name in any of me folders. I assumed that the tent_v2 was replaced by this improved version since the files in staticobjects_update2 zip archives are named identically and asked me to overwrite the previous files. Can I get a clarification? Quote:

Re: [Map] Baran Khooni (2km) [WIP]
Updated minimap in OP. Redone the colourmaps. Still aint kinda satisfied with it (too bright imo) but should be good enough for now
Btw can someone do me a favor and rename the thread name to correspond with the map name in the OP |

Re: [Map] Baran Khooni (2km) [WIP]
Alright last weekend was a no go for me (had a small surgical procedure) so havent done much. I made some small work tonight (mainly trying to figure out how I wanna make the town/city).

Re: [Map] Baran Khooni (2km) [WIP]
Maybe since there are already a lot of generic ME cities in PR you should do something different, add a unique twist. For example, Black Gold was supposed to have an abandoned city in it, but it ended up being changed. Maybe if you made the city very worn down/destroyed/abandoned it would add an interesting visual element.

Re: [Map] Baran Khooni (2km) [WIP]
As control point, you can have a fortification of some sort in what looks like mountains and you can also put some wrecks on a secondary road somewhere and use that as a control point..."ambushed convoy" or what ever. Next to the city, or close, you can have a small industrial area (factory, refinery etc), on other part of map spread some village statics to create a village and so on
Also, considering its a 2 km map, you should be careful with the mountains... is you have too many of them, you restrict the AASv4 routes...so make sure you have access to all your control points. Considering colormaps... i think you can use as many as you want(aka you are not restricted by the 6 layers)...only detailed colormaps are restricted to 6. Select your colormap, click on color on editor's right side and you will paint only colormaps. I dont have the editor open so im talkin from memory(which is not great). Also... make a backup on a separate disk...ive lost 4 months of work due to disk failure |
