Texture guys: Winter Textures for 4.09 Bessarabia needed! - yogy - 26.05.2008

Hi Modders,

I am the guy who lead the Bessarabia project as well as Italy, plus coperation in Kurland and the upcoming Desert-Map).

Is there anyone willing to modify the existing textures of Bessarabia for a snowy-March-1944 version? We don't have a lot of time...

Please contact me via mail at pirx _AT_ 88-iap.de.

Thanks!

Fortunately i have winter version of bessarabia. It's far from perfect, but i can share it. i just modifyied ardennes winter load.ini . Go to mods/mapmods/maps and create new folder Bessarabia and open text below in notepad and name it to wload.ini. Put wload.ini txt to bessarabia folder and add these lines to \Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS\MAPMODS\maps\all.ni
Bessarabia_W Bessarabia.wload.ini
Then you have new Bessarabia_w map in FMB
Copy/paste this to notepad:

The method above is usefull. you can test and change textures. If this is too winterish, you can use some summer textures too. Changing load.ini textures is good way to learn mapmaking basics.

OOPs. I just read yogus website and i quess he wants complitely new textures. LoL hock: I think that's beyound my skills, for crying out loud.

There are only a few people which tried creating new textures here. From memory: flushmeister (not frequenting this forum I think), canonuk, boomrang (haven't seen him lately here but right in the beginning he showed some very nice mountain textures of his own), Neil Lowe, Handy and a couple of others I don't remember right now. Maybe PM-ing them would yield some result.
And thanks for your maps!

@ fly_zo:
I will NOT support the activities here. Reason: I am loyal to Maddoxx Games. They trusted me in giving me their tools and supporting my work. Any support to the "illegal" actions here would not be good. Please understand that.

Apart from that, personally I see some high-quality stuff here, considered your limited resources and know-how.

@ lowfighter: Thanks!

@ texturers: I have a PC problem and cannot get my mails. Please be a bit patient. Also: Yes, I want complete new textures, based on the shapes of the ones currently used on the summer-map. kapteeni's version is too easy, as there was no such "icy"-allwhite-winter in that area.
