[WIP] New Map - Aleutian Islands Map
#46

Thank you Agracier for this nice map!
BUT I have noticed when flew Ar-196 that the water is hard as ground when landing on water..... :roll:
So I mean that landing on water is equal landing on ground and also there are craters from cannons firing on the water....
Sorry for my english :???:

I think that has to do with the temperature given in the map. Temperatures in the freezing, minus centigrade that is, turn the water into hard ice, so to avoid that I choose something just at or just above freezing - perhaps it may give that effect.

I think it's something else but don't know exactly what to be honest.
I remember that the same thing occured in one of the early versions of Zuti's Slovenia map. When crashlanding on water or firing rockets into the sea you don't see a water splash but an explosion, black smoke and finally a crater. In whatever way he corrected that in an updated version.

Another time I had this thing happening when fiddling around a bit with the several Normandy maps I have. I think I wanted to make a modded map my default map for QMB but found out that I got craters on rivers and sea. Don't know how come but decided to change everything back to normal.
So there must be something wrong in the map itself I guess.

will have to see about this then ... probably ask for some advice from Zuti

Textures are much better now, a more natural transition from snow to coastline. Big Grin

But still bombcraters on water instead of a nice watersplash.

And another thing occurs in many places:

Apparently this can be fixed by a very simple editing of the load.ini file.

this is a line of text that is near the beginning of the file:

[WORLDPOS]
CAMOUFLAGE = WINTER

please change that to

[WORLDPOS]
CAMOUFLAGE = SUMMER


Apparently by editing the map to a winter map, it makes all water behave like ice, even if the water textures show unfrozen water. By changing the camouflage to summer, this should fix the hard water problem. BUT, it will give default summer skins on certain airplanes where applicable and it will not allow the use of skis on a few aircraft either - should you happen to choose a skiable model - which is a bit unlikely in the Aleutians. These are the Gladiator and Blenheim I believe.

.. load.ini values for camouflage =winter with "normal" water

[WORLDPOS]
CAMOUFLAGE = winter
MONTH=7
DECLIN = 50
PRESSURE = 745
TEMPERATURE = 25

you will have default winter skins and water will act like water

Big Grin Water behaves like water again! Gotta nice watersplash. 8)
I changed camouflage to SUMMER and it works.
But fly_zo when I copy your lines to my load.ini it doesn't work for whatever reason. Still bomb craters and black smoke :???:

Oh, and thanks for this new wintermap Agracier, my favourite ones so to say.
In this case I didn't know the location of the Aleutians :oops: I had to look it up and read the WWII history of these islands in the cold North.
Never too old to learn.

It's a map especially for the US of course. Enemy troops on their soil and such - for instance my Belgian wife never even heard or knew much of anything at all of the whole Pacific war, aside perhaps from Pearl Harbor (with due regards to Hollywood for that) and Hiroshima ...

That's how it goes. Trek het je niet aan ... ha ha
