One more... Is that correct ?

Redko,

I like your settings (I prefer with less green color, like that last ones) and the style of the screenshots. The stock lighting is bad in any altitude :lol:

Building textures are from LAL Rone and his mod which is contained in Ui 1.11.


Ranwers,


Yes, that looks correct. I assume that you don’t like the square look? I don’t like it too. But that’s how texturing in IL2 for land works. If you have big land masses and big surface to cover with the same texture it is not so noticeably, but this is small land so little squares are more visible. That’s why there is that texture which looks fuzzy, both green and yellow, to connect sand and forest and to make it look as little blocky as it can. Sometimes and on some places that looks better and sometimes and on some places it looks worse. It looks better from lower altitudes and from more far distances.


And if you think that sand is too white, set the time at any hour except the noon, and weather at good or hazey. This is not like older maps, time of the day and weather conditions affect on the land, it looks brighter or darker. That is mostly because of BumpH textures, and the color and saturation of the textures. That is on purpose, I think that is more lifelike in this way.


This is how it looks for me, that is good weather at 10am (if I remember the settings correctly):

Thanks for reply m8

But, if you really don’t like it, you can go in the texture folder:


MODS\MapMods\Maps\_Tex\Avala\benghalli


And delete textures which names ends with “BumpH” and to see if that would be better. For example texture for rocks looks even better without it IMO (it is “avalarock.BumpH”), but light is different.

... avala, i believe he meant unusually nice/beautiful/good map

Ranwars has pretty specific english .... took me months until i've got it completely

so he did pay you an compliment there ( coming from him that is one of important ones IMO) :wink:


anyway, you should really post some "addiction" warning in d/l post ... messing around with this map in FMB and while hit play just to test something ... and bang, hour + went lost by flying over it . Damn you :wink:

Ecxellent map. And unusual too.
And i did fly over it over an hour just to look all the details. It is like from some other game: battlefield series or far cry (level of details). I have spend some time in Pacific (Vanuatu And French New Caledonia), and this is as real as you can get with old L 2 engine. I just hope that somebody will make a good campaign for this map.

So true.... It happened me too 8)

YES, YES, YES - all Avala's mods are beauty

I'm still having problems getting the map to load after I set up a mission in full mission builder. I get the do you want to save mission window, and when I press yes the map stays up in the Mission builder. when I press exit again I press no and get out of the Mission builder, but the map isn't in the place I put it.

that means you are missing some object which map is using ..... do check your AAA UI 1.11 install / or installation of any objects mod you may installed on/after UI 1.11 ( actual objects folders and entries in static.ini)

this mod has been tested (by me) on clean AAA UI 1.11 installation and it works flawlessly .

Hello people.

Some pics for fun, still on this beautiful Avala's map. My second Gapa settings + editing. I will post some non edited pics later too using gapa mode by night fall :wink: .

I like your settings (I prefer with less green color, like that last ones) and the style of the screenshots

Thanks 8)

Enjoy

How? Unbelievable! Especially the first one. I want my game to look like that.

Of course that I know Ranwers is a joker :wink: , I wrote that for textures if someone really wants to try little different (by removing BumpH textures).

And if you all think that map is different and unusual that means I am happy man. That’s what I wanted to achieve. Thank you

Oh by gosh- Bengali!

I can tell where I will be flying for a while

Thanks for such an outstanding map!

Lol...yea me too.

I'm sure there must be a way to obtain such result. I mean, you moders, have done a such impressive work with new sounds, skins, clouds, maps, IA and all....that my editing process is nothing compare to that!

The only thing i did is to use Gapa mod and rework lighting, contrast, saturation, blur effect. There is no new imported textures nor 3d objects, all in the pics came from you guys and your mods, it's IN the game already. If only we could find the trick which explains how the light work in this game we would have that kind of graphics.

I don't know if it's just a problem of a good combination of settings to find, or if it is more complicated like something in code of the game to remake. But I wouldn't understand why we would be able to mod all except the lightings. The first step was plane shine and landshine.
