Kuniworth Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hi just tried the demo and it´s great. However would it be possible to implement a new more realistic map? I know this one been up before but just imagine to play on a beauty like that... Someone able to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuniworth Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 I think it´s boring to watch. I would like a map that looked great, the one at use right now is a bit boring don´t you think? I would like it to be like a real map you find in a map-guide or like the ones they used in panzergeneral 2. Would something like that be impossible to create?

Mannheim Tanker Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Originally posted by Carl Von Mannerheim: check out the SC'elite edition mod' maybe thatll helpThat one isn't much more exciting. A new texture and new icons, but it's still basically the same map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted August 15, 2002 Author Share Posted August 15, 2002 I is hard to explain what I mean so I will give two example. First make it like the ones in Panzergeneral 2. Yes it´s possible to edit stuff like that. Or secondly make it like this; http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/europe/europe_ref01.jpg or http://www.maps.com/explore/atlas/phy/europe.html you see what I´m getting at? A map that looks authentic. Then you use german grey, french blue colour and so on to very light cover(dont know how to explain in english. Maybe this will turn it into 3D. Tough to do? Maybe. Will it improve game-feeling? Absolutely!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolzemFrumFloppen Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Kuniworth: Ahhh... that quasi-relief map looks great and I, too, would love to have it in SC. However, it would be completely impossible to do that way since the SC map is not a single graphics file that can be redrawn and edited at leisure. Rather, SC's maps utilize a graphics file that defines hex formations and their colors. There is no possibility of adding unique relief-map features since adding those features to a single hex's graphics would inevitably result in having those features repeated throughout the map in strange places. So.... while there are a few things that can be done to the map graphics (I'm working on some possbilities as a matter of fact), you're likely not going to see a perfectly rendered Rand-McNally-ish relief variant. Hope this helps. - Holzem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmbunnelle Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Although I, for one, love the default map and find it highly functional, I may toy around with the textures of the map (not the shape) for my next project. I know what you mean about PG2, but due to the shifting colors of the map when nations are conquered, that would be impractical and would look bad as well. It's also a totally different scale.

Kuniworth Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 Jmbunelle and Halzem; Ok I see. Well anyway thanks for your effort guys to improve the game. Maybe we will see an improved map in future versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted August 16, 2002 Author Share Posted August 16, 2002 But Is it possible to create more cities and terrain on the map? To make it more "crowded"???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insu Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Though I have only played the demo, I think Hubert has done a great job for a game that some people obviously want more from than what it was intended for. Great work Hubert and as always, Battlefront. As for the map, what do you want? Something like this? http://www.zitadell.com/map.htm :eek: Thats something very different.
