NPye Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I'm trying to produce a campaign for Berlin, i'm building the ,maps and have completely updated and redesigned the mod buildings so now all buildings can be entered and fired from, I found a new solution to do this and it seems to work well, I made a template of where the windows appear on the mod builds, then i either use the default windows with my graphics in them rather tan the other way round, also if cut out I also make a window that fits the space so I can use either, also i have copied the window default window space on the BMP them pasted into the window files, this works really well especially when the window is space is black so as long as the window fits all i have to do is convert the default window into black or dark grey and they hardly notice on the bmp, so this gives the impression of having the glass and frame completely gone and and looks bombed out which is the look I have always tried to achieve before. If anyone with campaign experience want's to join with me and build an amazing campaign then DM e. I've chose a campaign as this will eliminate any need for my complete collection of modded items which is huge. I've made several maps including the suburbs, the Molkte bridge, Kroll Opera House, The Reichstag, Unter der Linden, The Museum Island, Alexander Platz and the New Reichs Chancellory with plans to produce more. This is work in progress and I have to convert more buildings to allow for more window firing positions. Cheers for viewing and would love to see what you think? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Hi N, you were in the same quandary back a couple of years re BRZ files, there is a set of Mac tools for opening them up, you can get them here. They're pretty basic kinda command line, but they get the job done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Usually, heavily urban maps are lovely to look at, but a nightmare to play on as it's hard and frustrating to get a level 1 or 2 view of units without buildings getting in the way. Hopefully the wide boulevards of your map will greatly mitigate that problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the wide boulevards of your map will greatly mitigate that problem. That's the joy of it, if you go down the Main street you will get destroyed. Most German teams have panzerfausts and are very good at close ranges. The way is to keep the tanks well back and as the infantry move forward the Germans give up their locations , then you can use the tanks to destroy them, never move your tanks without infantry support. Also the maps are made so the buildings interlink inside so you can move forward that way or blast your way through. I can't believe the Soviets soldiers don't have smoke grenades but their mortars can fire smoke so use them to cover as much movement as possible. Try it bud it's madness but you can win even though it's hard to achieve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPye Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) More screens of the Battle for Berlin mod. The view once you are across the Moltke bridge, The Ministry of the Interior. The East End of Unter den Linden with the Humboldt University of Berlin in the background. A Berlin courtyard The huge Hermann Tietz department store in Alexanderplatz. In the Third Reich, all businesses of the Tietz family were "Aryanized" (i.e., seized from Jews and transferred to non-Jewish owners) and the family members emigrated. The Tietz department store was "aryanised" in 1934. Oscar's son Martin Tietz migrated with his wife to Liechtenstein in 1939 and his assets were seized by the Gestapo. In 1933, Georg Karg, the new non-Jewish owner, changed the company’s name to "Hertie Department Stores" as an abbreviation of Hermann Tietz. Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda and Enlightenment, facing Wilhelmplatz. SS soldiers are watching for enemy movement from Goebbels balcony, he made many speeches from here.

NPye Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 The Charlottenburger Chaussee was the boundary line between 1st Ukrainian Front and 1st Belorussian Front, Konevs army advance from the east and Zhukov from the west. It was and used by the Germans as a temporary landing strip for small aircraft. It runs through the Tiergarten and is a good map for the mod as it is mainly wooded and moonscape after Soviet shelling. Notice the awesome vegetation from Luck Strikes Mod, Hedgerow Hell, this scenario will be launched when I uploAD PHAZE II OF THE BATTLE OF BERLIN MOD, COMING SOON... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
