Once the maps are made, you can always chuck roads on at will and see what happens. Withthe map editing FMB, it's just a bunch of control clicks with roads selected. I had some issues when I messed with it though, roads in bad places seem to make the FMB unhappy.
I tried to read your DCG thread, but I was out of my depth.
Regarding the tanks, at this point we could probably make a new "tank" using the little human figures.
I don't think we're trying to jump down yuor throat, BTW. In my case I don't understand the DCG well, and I think we all figure that once released, it would be easier for someone who understands it to mod the map and show us rather than have the map team learn DCG before we can go forward.
If we get a demo of how it works, and it doesn't require trashing the realism of the map, then we can figure out what to do on the next maps, and maybe someone can retrofit it to the slot.
BTW, in terms of the "look" of roads, we can always make a new road, slovakia did. Maybe more alpha channel so it's VERY narrow.
That make sense?

It makes perfect sense. I am sorry if I got all defensive. :oops: I have had some tragic events going on in my personal life. When it rains if flippin pours. So if I got stand offish I appologise. I guess I was just getting frustrated because I felt that I was not getting my point accross.
About the map, don't worry about making roads on it. Make your map first, and after you get it initially done, maybe you and me can talk later about how to get it working with DCG.
I am sorry that my DCG thread was too in depth. You should have posted a question. I would love to explain anything you don't understand. Where did I lose you in the thread? I would actually be willing to do one on one via email to show you and share some files if you or anyone else is interested. See that is the feedback I was wanting. I never got any questions, and I did not know if I was too vague or too over bearing ... I guess now I know ... If I could adress this and find a way to explain it on a level you are more comfortable would you be interested again?
Just curious, and a new tank that looks like a soldier is one hell of an idea.
All the best
