Wesreidau Posted March 22, 2001 Share Posted March 22, 2001 I get the feeling Magua is either: a) busy with the new terrain mod (woohoo!) or busy showing his mates how many loyal fans he has by pointing them to this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Matt Matt, This is where the terrain mods have been previewed and where they will end up when finished (I believe): http://www.afv-uk.net/cmoutpost/Terrain/Magua/magua_terrain.htm Right now, he has other really cool mods for buildings. (There are mods for doors and windows too.) They're low-res but look better than some high-res ones that I've seen IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magua Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 Thanks for the interest guys! I have not been able to continue with the mod lately due to RW work deadlines but I should be clear of this in a few more days and then I can return to the project. Most of the terrain is more or less in place, it just needs refining further. One change I may make though is to make the buildings lo-res (about 1/2 are hi-res at the moment). Lo-res are much quicker for me to put together and means I can access a much more useful variety of textures. These may loose some of the sharp detail of hi-res but I think they should turn out more realistic and natural looking. Also the file sizes will be much more "friendly".

illo Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 Yup, lo-res buildings arent bad idea. Thanks Magua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Clark Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 A good set of realistic Lo-Res buildings would be fantastic! I've switched back to the "stock" buildings currently, due to PT's Hi-Res'ers chugging out the game on larger maps. Thanks for the update man!

Gordon Posted March 23, 2001 Share Posted March 23, 2001 For textures like buildings that don't have transparent portions, creating a lo-res set from a hi-res set is actually pretty easy with most graphics programs. Textures with tranparent portions get tricky because you have to clean up the edges of the transparent regions to avoid "pink-itis".

kipanderson Posted March 24, 2001 Share Posted March 24, 2001 Magua, hi, If Lo-res is easier for you then go for it. I am keen to use what ever you come up with. You really do know what you are doing and seeing a entire new building set from you would be huge fun. Terrible thing the RW when it interferes with the CM world! All the best, Kip.

Seahawk-vfa201 Posted March 25, 2001 Share Posted March 25, 2001 Magua, will Sturmtruppen's hi-res building fit in with your new terrain mode? It looks like they will since they have all a subdued color and I like to be able to read if the building I am facing is a school or the city hall Get a hi-res buildings too in the future: some of us are lucky enough to have all hi-res available around installed and still having a smooth playing.
