Title: My First terrain.
Post by: Nr_RaVeN on May 16, 2011, 11:36:08 AM

Update on my first terrain..made it small... For the AVA or whoever wants to use it.
I compressed the MED.. Guys Here is an update on the Malta terrain I have been working on. The idea of the terrain is so it can be versatile.
The map is 128.
First Off
I want to be sure to give credit were its due.
  To Ranger a BIG THANK YOU !  for  taking the time to clearly and consciously answer all my silly questions.
 with out his help I wouldn't have been able to concentrate on the eye candy stuff, some custom textures etc.
 He really fast tracked me allowing me more time to experiment, dissect and unravel the TE program and its inner workings.
 With out him I would have been lost spinning my wheels for weeks...His tips and How to helped me very much.
  Also mrmid's tute.Also with Easy helped out with great tips, and Dot on BBs.
 
 I designed it so that different set ups could be run on the same terrain. We have Malta ,Southern tip of Sicily, and N Africa.
 
 Adding many more bases as well, but here is were I'm at so far..


 
Any how take a look at the screens Its far from detailed or complete...Its getting close..

Wow.  Nice work.  Great work!   :aok 

Is there any reason why some of the very nice custom maps can have some bases spead out on them, some gv spawn points added, and placed into the MA???

if that blasted Mundanao map can be in the MA, surely maps as good as these can be placed into the MA.  Wow!  It would be such a wonderful change to have desert terrain such as this to fly over and do gv combat on.  PLEASE HTC!!!   :D

With all the custom textures, custom objects and other such things, the download would be large and take a long time.  Plus, those custom objects aren't allowed for the main arenas - although some custom textures are (as long as the file size doesn't get out of hand).

I hope you're not planning on using that 109f4 as the custom default. It's got some large (read: visible) errors on it...  :noid

Pardon my ignorance, but why does the AvA get all the good custom maps when Late War is by far the most popular arena?

In a way. Exactly because LW is the most popular arena ;)

When making maps for AvA, a designer has much less to worry about. Three country war balance, download size (custom objects), terrain standards and so on.

Thanks all..  :cheers:
Sorry for late reply I haven't stopped into thread for a bit.

Got a bit distracted and lost momentum..I'm back at it again.....Stay tuned.

Kusty....  More than a few errors heh..That 109 is not close to complete.  Just banged it out a few months ago in a half hr..... long way to go. Some day ill get to wrapping it up.
The terrain is my main focus at this point.

WOW ..... Thats incredible.   A map like this in the AvA. 
would put Cap out of a job.   

I understand that the MA is more stringent on the dynamics
However,  i would like to see them through it up for a week once every
Three to four months,  may draw more people to T. E. ?
