Gleedo, your screens reminds me to Barbarossa. This game needs a
map like Barbarossa. This might work well.

Volkhovsky Forest (WIP)
This will be the first map ive done for any RO game. I wanted to at least try to keep to something remotely historical, but due to having very little reference material for Volkhovsky Forest and the fact that forest maps cripple peoples FPS in-game, it will be renamed to something else.
I think I may have to expand the size of the map, but won't make that decision until I have done some early play tests with my clan mates.
Shot from the 1st objective - The South Woods
Shot from the inner edge of The South Woods looking onward to the gullies
Shot from east of the Woods looking down the hill into the East Village
Shot along the gullies
Shot from the West Village looking due East
Random shot from inside the West Village
Shot from what will be the last cap zone looking South up the valley paths (loads of work to be done there)
Anyways, be gentle lol
Looks nice. I think you should make your own materials (using TWI's existing textures though) for the grass and trees and tweak the colours on them so they'd look better with your lighting setup. Basically just copy what the TWI material is doing but multiply the diffuse colour with a 3-vector constant (ie some RGB values
). Also maybe lover the environmental colour intensity?
OK... Pics for the volk
I used Ogledow, because its tasty(and because... when i was young, and i done tanks for Ro:Ost, i used 2 maps... Arad and Ogledow).
SPOILER
Its an alpha version.... everything is bugged.... and the scalling... the model is too big(i think)
YES, I need help... i have probs with Unreal Pullover(Anim Tree)/Script... Worluk you want to kill your day with some Unreal script

Damn Szeder, that's looking awesome! I had no idea people were working on custom vehicles already. Really nice work mate, thanks for sharing

I am utterly colour blind Xendance
You might as well be speaking in russian lol. I don't like the lighting at all, but If I tweak it to something that looks right to me, it could and probably will make it look terrible to non colour blind people. I will be looking to get some help at some point with the lighting. I am sure some kind person out there could tweak it.Is the environmental colour intensity the light mass settings?

Just copy the settings from a stock map like spartanovka or something with similar time of day. For now though, don't do anything to it, just set it at something that looks good to you and build the rest of your map. That will keep your artistic vision consistent and help you make a good looking map all the way through. When the time comes if it doesn't look right you can get some help with color. It looks kind of neat as it is anyway, a nice early dawn light. Just because it is for RO doesn't mean it has to be grungy and grey

Yes, that's what I did Six
I pinched the settings from Apartments If I remember correctly

If you want 100% matching lighting you also need to copy over the post processing volume that encompasses the whole level

Great tips, I also like the smaller saturation, everything looks more realistic!

Really liking the look of this map Gleedo. Although perhaps change the grass/ground texture abit. Right now it doesn't go well with the rest of the map. Maybe add some color to it? Make the grassy parts of the ground alittle darker, and do away with the sand looking stuff. Perhaps give the ground abit of a forested look? Add some leaves and make it a little darker. Otherwise I like it alot, and can't wait for you to get a finished version out to rest of the RO community. Looking forward to playing on it.

Damn, why can't I see Szeder's pics? I only see red crosses.
Are the pictures shown somewhere else?

Thanks for the feedback.
Is there some way to make the grassy parts darker or do you mean simply change the material?
I know what you mean though, it does not look right.
I'd suggest you get most of the geometry of the map built and in place before spending much time on darkening or otherwise messing around with the textures. That's the kind of thing best done when you can see it in context with the models and shadows and the whole of the map.
That said, here's a good reference for terrain materials: [url]http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/TerrainAdvancedTextures.html[/URL]
