In norwegian it is JOTUNHEIM. On english I dont know.
And you shouldn't make snow map untill you are confident with your mapping skills

Hmmm, noone cares about my campaign It looks like

...? :blink:

Can you guys PLEASE! Stay on topic...?
Tore, can you do me a favour?
Upload the map as what you have done so far so i can download and have a little look,
As i can not tell what is happening on minimaps...
If thats ok, :biggrin:

[Crash]

it looks good

[Tore]

New minimap

[Crash]

good!

[Tore]

new minimap

[Ixith]

hmmm that map looks a little big for just 2 players :confused:

maybe try and make it 3 players and put the other start position south and east of the upper left start one.
just an idea you dont have to if you dont want to do it.

anyways judging from the minimap updates it looks good.....but that pic doesnt look so good IMO.
i hope to see ingames soon?

keep up the work and try to improve on it.

[Crash]

It looks a little big, yeah. It also look detailed and the way a map should look

[Tore]

in games coming soon......

its also a alpha test coming soon if someone want to alpha test this just PM me or reply
and i am planing for some triggers

EDIT:Alpha testing open

[The DvD]

Looking good, perhaps you should make those small hills (like in your 1st screen) all over the map.

[Ixith]

personally i think its too dark. it could use some lighting up.

i think you need to work more on dynamic lighting now. once you get that down it will make your maps a lot better.

-personally i think its too dark. it could use some lighting up.

hmm about the lighting i think it will stay like this because its night and it is so dark here in Norway (except for the two summer months)

-i think you need to work more on dynamic lighting now. once you get that down it will make your maps a lot better.

i will place some invisible light posts around the map

The DvD:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Looking good

thank you.

-perhaps you should make those small hills (like in your 1st screen) all over the map.

is part of the plan.

[Crash]

in the summer, norway is very light,
In north its midnight sun
Where I live it's dark from 12pm till 3-4 am

[Tore]

we just get about 3 to 4 hours of daylight here in the summer we don't even see moon light
ye ye i know

EDIT: ontopic again: New (large)minimap

[Tore]

yeah yeah triple post....i did this on purpose because no one is replying please do it

update more screens

[Crash]

It looks pretty good. You ment 3-4 hours of dark in summer right ?
its light a little shorter here.

Improvement spots :
1. Rounder cliffs (not too straight)
2. Rounder slopes ( not squared)

[Tore]

i must correct this
in the winter we just get about 3 to 4 hours of daylight here

in the summer we don't even see moon light

thank you for pointing that out

[Tore]

more updates or is it?

plans:
ok i have thought allot and i think ill redo some parts of the map (some places are squary) and i thought of an ion storm trigger

Why it is progressing so slow:
well lack of interest lack of time you know it i am busy with other stuff

estimated release:
around Easter

[Team Black]

Wow dude you've really progressed in skill since I last took a look at your maps. Really good: lighting, LAT, detail...
The cliffs though -- keep away from the cliff-painter as much as you can!
custom cliffs are best to add variety to maps, they make it feel a little more natural. (even though they take a little longer to make)

gj

-BTW even if you add Retro units into the map, you'll still be able to play the map without the mod - any Retro units in the map will just be absent

I Agree with just about everything Team Black stated above.

You are simmular to crashking, you are a fast learner.
Keep it up, you may become a really good mapper one day.

And also, something else, As Team Black also said.

The cliffs though -- keep away from the cliff-painter as much as you can!

Could not agree more, the random cliff painter is terrible.
Avoid using it and good luck.
