[Map] Radio Moscow [scrapped]
I would like to present my new map in this thread.
Download: http://www.tr-racing.de/pr_maps/rm/r...scow_beta1.rar Readme file Quote:
everything below this line is obsolete --------------------------------------------------------- [MAP] Radio Moscow Size: 1km Milita vs PLA Backstory: Location: Northwestern China, near the kazak border The PLA moves in to crush a small separatist Militia who has been using this remote place for subversive infomration propaganda. Equipment will likely be "light". This would include the usual support trucks and 2 HMG jeepss per side. WTF Milita vs PLA?! I would like to explain my "exotic" choice of opposing sides. Militia is a bit less present in the official maps and since I cant stand the british rifle sounds and the USA is present in many maps, I want to use the PLA. if anyone accuses my of this constelation being unrealistic I would advise you to look at a world map. China has a very long border with the former soviet states. So it is not that far out. So far I have created a nice heightmap which I am going to present along with a few issues I would like to ask for help on: Screenshots of the minimap and the INVERTED version of it AS you can see the normal minimap appears to be inverted. AS if it was photographed from below. I suspect that this may be the cause. This was the process I used: Create new map with 512X2, and default height 25 Load heightmap into editor Since the map appeared a bit to flat I increased the terrain height (from default 163) to 300. This stretched the map vertically giving a more steep landscape When loading the map, the default camera position is below the ground What exactly did I screw up here? | |

Re: [MAP] Radio Moscow
No I was actually referring to kazakstan. However it was not based on any real conflict. I was just looking for a logical area to put PLA vs the militia.

Re: [MAP] Radio Moscow
Brits managing to wage a land war that pushes China to fight in the Qinling Mountain range (With Tanks and heavy Vehicles!)is unrealistic.
Bi-Ming, a map filled with pine trees that'd never survive China's climate is unrealistic. The list goes on... Nessuno's right, China vs. Kazakstan isn't one bit realistic as China is one of Kazakstan's Main allies. But then it's almost impossible to come up with a realistic solution to get the PLA involved with any armed faction at the moment unless It's: PLA retaliating against Japan Major boarder breach near Afghan/Pakistan Boarder PLA reclaiming Taiwan Coastal skirmishes So I'd stop trying to come up with a logical explanation and just say it'd be an interesting match up. (speaking of which, so would US vs. GB.) Good luck with the map. |

Re: [MAP] Radio Moscow
As another person that is trying to get the PLA into unique engagements not currently found within PR (China in the desert) I say this sounds great! PLA v Militia would be something new, and I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.
And... you lightmapped already? I'm seeing shadows on your map. I guess it's not a big deal though since the final lightmap would just go over this and the landscape shouldn't change too much. Looking good! Like the name. And Heavy has a point. Realisim in PR is not so much related to story and who would fight who, as it is to the style in which the sides fight. |

Re: [MAP] Radio Moscow
Looks nice, will it be so open? The chineese scoped rifles will have a advantage in such open terrain.

Re: [MAP] Radio Moscow
The map will not exactly be desert. I want it to be slightly temperate with some barren mountainous look. because the camo on the uniform should make sense. The map will have dense trees. Around the lower areas. The hilltops I want to be mostly whitte with some rocks and dead trees.
I always use lightmaps eearly on because I can see how it is going to look. The intention is to preserve most of the jagged hill climbing. However there will be smaller roads leading around (for the trucks) This is the minimap with the basic layout for the CPs. However this is not final in terms of the lanscape. i am currently planning the look and the placement of the important structures and the roads leading to it. Also the colors are changed a bit (which I am going to reimport and use as help to paint the terrain color. The flag setup I have planned is PLA (not cappable)------>Peak & Sawmill-------->Rebel Base (capable) The circles are indicators of the combat area. (200m/100m) The chinese spawn will be just a road leading into the map (not unlike mestia). It will be spawn protected from militia getting in. The Peak will be some bunkers on the ridge. The sawmill is located far lower (which is not very visible on the minimap). It will be ecnlosed by dense forest. The Rebel base will contain the radio station with some forms of housing. Since it is cppable´, the spawns will be located in the forest outside. This is to follow the deisgn guidelines for PR. Also planned are some smaller details like the odd hut along the roads. And perhaps a temple. |
