Hi community

I'm very pleased to finally give you the link for donwloading New Okinawa V1.

This the is result of a hard work started with the request of RealDarko to have a new retextured version of this map. I did the best as it is my first achieved retextured map (orthers are on the way).

Now i have to let you judge this work. There is still some things i have in mind for this map, so check for later updates.

I hope you will like this. Nothing is perfect, but the result is not to bad.....some will love, some will hate but never forget the limitations of the game engine and the way it deals bad with texturing process.

This map was particulary hard to remap because of the limitated space and geography. Others map are easier. This map will work perfectly for pics and movies projects....so don't wait...post !! , please.


Ok so feedbacks, critics and all (pics) are welcome.


Thanks for all the people here this site is a great collective project :wink:.

Special thanks to RealDarko for having requested this map.
Thanks to Lol_Rone, this retextured map is based on his version of the Okinawa map.
Thanks to WhiteCat, he knows why.
Thanks to Avala and Viking, I learned many many things by just dissecting their maps into pieces .....and many many time to rebild after :lol: .

I HAVE EXISTING MISSIONS/CAMPAINS:

before posting error message problems on this thread, if you are trying to play missions and/or campains you already have from the stock map for exemple and you get a message saying "error string out of range" do not worry.
i just changed some bildings on the new actor.static in this version of the map, so your mission try to load the old ones, and as they don't exist anymore... you have this message!

Solution is easy :
go to missions folder, there were you have the mission and/or the campains your are trying to play. for EACH mission, locate the .mis file. For EACH mission using this new map version, go to "HOUSE" chapter, and erase ALL what you have in this chapter and only this chapter.
check also if the name of the map if correct.....and that's all
save
exit
...and play

Ok so now that repaint of Kyushu V1 map is done i can redo some things i have in mind for Okinawa. I'm just waiting for feebacks from my last Kyushu testeurs and then i give the download link to Fly_zo for agreement

What i'm planning to do for Okinawa V2 is:

- little cosmetic improvements for mounts
- redo all the city textures which are now really bad, i learned many things working on Kyushu V1. they are now too modern, and most of all contrast is really bad, doesn't fit with the rest of the map
- populate harbors and docks
- populate cities and fields
- rework all contrast for cities and fields
- ad some new nice textures for fields
