Post by: oakranger on August 30, 2009, 12:43:48 PM
How about this for the next terrain?

That would be interesting especially if the field outlines where "bocage" style terrain to give the ground pounders a bitta difficulty to overcome - let the tracked vehicles be fitted with the oft used Normandy "hedge cutter" fronts as an option. Best to have this near coastal towns.

...slows em down a tad but lets em go through without any difficulty while those without have to go around eh!

This is one I am working on for Napa Valley...

Eventually it will have trees bushes where the hedge rows are. Roads and buildings will make it in to, frame rate allowing anyway.

If  you thought the Coral Sea terrain looked good, just wait!

After spending the last several years flying over terrain that always looked like it belonged in Northwest Europe, I'd REALLY hoped to see more guys working on stuff for the Mains that looked more Pacific-y for a change of pace.

Any idea if objects are any more efficiently rendered, e.g. the big CT cities, or those villages by Croduh?

Alright, we'll fight over a vast expanse of water the entire time. Fantastic.

The new water is even capable of being edited:

I get flashbacks of the Coral sea scouts. *shudder*

Still though, I heard the Great Barrier Reef looked great.

Thanks USRanger, I feel like a David among giants....The work thats being done with the editor is going to knock the socks off the average player.

Your work with it so far as been great, I love your farmland! Its so hard to get a good look AND have small edge errors. I can get one or the other but not both, I think that's what separates the men from the boys. I saw your sunken ship, that has technique has a lot of possibilities!

Looking forward to your terrains as well!

Sorry gents, but when was the last time one of your terrains has been incorporated into an MA map? Most of our maps date back to the AH 1 days.

I don't do MA terrains because of all the restrictions that must be placed on them.  I prefer custom stuff where I can do whatever I want.  The thought has crossed my mind with the new editor though.

This was just as a joke, but came out kinda cool. :)

WOW, can we get these textures in game because the detail is fantastic? Do you have anymore ?

I've had that farmland for years, not even sure where I got em anymore.  I used em in a H2H terrain once.  That's why I wish they would bring H2H back, so people can play on custom terrains.

i wonder if AH  can change the terrian base on the season (summer, fall, winter spring).

No....I set up a Berlin sized city with objects and my frame rate never hit above 20. As a compassion in the MA I would normally max at 60, running a 9800 GT too.

Sure was fun tho, never watched a twenty bomb salvo drop on a target like that, at night no less.

The Midway terrain in the AvA was always a favorite of mine.  I'll bet that would look insane with this graphics update.
