Great looking Slot!
« on: March 08, 2003, 06:32:00 AM »
Thank you 10Bears, Dux and Ramzey for your good job to restoration Slot map to CT!:D

This is the first Pacific terrain I really enjoy to fly with my Zero against F4F's. Textures are very nice (I use the same tiles in becoming Okinawa map) and the skins are awesome: look that Carrier!;)

10Bears has made a great job with his custom jungle airfields and little corals and isles in the sea! 10Bears, can I use your jungle fields and isles/corals in my Okinawa terrain? I want there the same layout than Slot has!:p

Look the Jungle airfield in the evening light (I have added more brightness to the photo):

The towns are situated very nice on the ground tiles near river. Is there unvisible "townlay" under them so you can stop your GV's there?

10Bears, send me your e-mail, please! I have couple of questions and ideas to make the Slot even more better (very little things).;)

It IS beautiful!   Thank you 10B!

I noticed the fire of destroed/burning base items is different than fires in any other terrain.   Is fire an editable object in the terrain editor?   The flames look great!

Good morning Fellas and thx.

I didn't do any of the art except for skinning the batteries.. Sqrl did the terrain texture art plus some other stuff like Henderson field (snow) and some of the pads like lake and lava. Dux CBM and US and Betty skins plus some smaller skinning projects like fire. Ramzey did gv's/ Japanese/ and ships.

Operation Watchtower producers Shersk and Jordi did the clock.. I think they had fun doing that ;)

Nopoop did the Watchtower patch.. You can see it in tower if you look right then down.

Shipped Ramzey's stuff off to Japan (Mitzu) to see if he could add some Japanese lettering but learned to my surprise they changed to western lettering after Midway. Never the less, this is truly an international project here.. (Ramzey lives in Poland)

Kanttori you can find these textures listed as Panama in events ftp site in Sqrl's folder. The pad under towns is olddirt and can be driven over. Keep in mind Okinawa is more populated so you might use snow for urban. Also I figured out how to use the SNOWCAP object.. (you have to make it yourself then place in texsrc folder)

Yes Oboe, everything in the game can be re-skinned. The only object I had trouble selecting to skin was "Target".. wanted to put Saddam's face on it.

Was asked a couple of times yesterday what you need to destroy to capture a base.. Listen up!.. the town quacet huts in the horseshoe where the gv's spawn by the base.. the town quacet huts by the radio tower.. then the town itself.  The maproom is by the row of buildings near the radio tower. HTC has no listing for radio tower.. so that's listed as structure.. the radar is right next to it in reventment sandbag thing.

No real strat to speak of in the Solomans.. no zones no strat re-supply.

No Kanttori, I didn't think of putting a VDEPOT on towns.. Will do that's a good idea.

Removed many 88s from ports.. there's still a few at some. If your like me.. I hate getting shot down by AI 88s.

As for ship re-spawn points I'll move them some.. but for the mean time I suggested to Bradys that he make down time for them 3 hours... maybe the sitrep has changed in that area by the time they respawn.

Fans.. Try and promote this in MA and general disscusion board.. The newbies and CT nay sayers will be quite surprised how equal the zeke and wildcat are.

Thanks again.
10B
