1/ about Landscape details = Excellent... I worked on that bloody map_F all day... it gives a much better view of far landscape but there is still a problem with coast and rivers... unfortunately, before release, I deleted basic files including some layers that would help now... am I stupid !?
so this problem is half solved but I need to go further... in case of unsucces, I would have to restart from the beginning... just for those who play with Excellent settings (... it's so better in Perfect)
Maybe it's time to think about a new graphic card :roll: :roll: :roll:
2/ I agree with you Lowfighter, towns are probably too simple... I must admit that placing objects (even with autopop) is a little boring for me... what I like in map making is most of all creating a new terrain model, loadable in game and texturing landscape... other aspects, I make it because it is needed... I will think about it :wink:
3/ I used only textures from rom and sk... I didn't know they were in Normandy :wink:
No seriously, it's impossible to make choices for textures that everybody find ok... There will be allways some guys to say "I would have done different or better"... we don't know, we never see their map !... My first idea was to use the set of textures released with Beta and changing colors with more red, but I was not really satisfied (too many repetitions of textures on large area) and one day I found a way to use generic textures by playing with -2, -1, 1, 2 indices. I think it's better.
4/ all observations will be taken in account and treated (bugs, heights...) for future... but now I'm really tired :wink:
