Destraex1 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Between the game map and the background hills is an ugly single coloured layer that surrounds the main map. It looks atrocious. Are there any plans to make the map seemlessly match the hills in the background. Like they do when you zoom right in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Check out 'World of Tanks'. Seamless transition to the horizon. BUT only custom-designed maps with a carefully built monster no-go edging for the camera & vehicles so you're literally (virtually?) unable to look behind, over, or around anything they don't want you to. BFC had discussions about prettying-up the map-to-horizon but solutions either involved greatly restricting camera movement, doing stuff to kill framerate, or disallowing player built maps. They didn't like any of those solutions. Maybe they've got some 'clever ideas' I'm unaware of. They're been coming up with a LOT of 'clever ideas' lately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJFHutch Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 What about a simple 3D plane with a texture similar to the map/hills that sits under the map itself? Or around it. It's a tricky problem to fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Lee Irked Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Looks real enough to me. Kind of reminds me of home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 There's this one game I played that does it pretty well..what was it called..oh yeah, CM Touch (yes, yes, not quite the same thing, but still, it looks much nicer than how the issue is handled is CMx2) Sadly, BF seems to have forgotten that the game exists, judging by the forum. I kid, but only a little 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destraex1 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 That looks good. Can you show all of the map at once so we can see how the edges are handled? Nice work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tankgeezer Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I preferred the vertical plane on the old CMx1 maps. It gave me a quickie reference to the elevations on that side of the map and wasn't nearly as distracting as the 'floating in the sky' effect on the present maps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
