Guest ansons2 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone, I just want to share some screenshots about a new Map I am working on. It is for France (my country), North africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Sicily, Italy, France, Switzerland, Spain, and South of England). The main goal is to have in a single Map the different areas where the french have fought against the Axis. I want to have also contrasting landscapes. Thus I am using the SFP1 Desert Tile set for North africa, Sicily, Malta and south of Spain and WOE Tileset for the other Areas. There is still a long way to have everything completed but for now the base tiling is done, I am working on adding rivers and cities to North Africa, then I will move to Sicily, Italy and Spain and then move to France , Switzerland..... More screenshots to be seen on my website ansons2 January 2010 Update : Happy New year to everyone here ! Here some screenshots of my France WIP Map. Progress status : North africa is completed including Tunisia, Sicily and Malta with many towns and airfields and targets. Middle of Italy with transition betwen Desert and germany Tileset is done from the Tiling point of view. FYI I have designed a tool under XL to speed up the targets and the .tod generation. Here below are some screenshots to show the tool's results (forests involve 1000+ trees per tile thus placing manually all trees was really tedious without the tool). Still a lot of work to get the whole map completed but things are moving forwards... There are more screenshots to be seen on my website Best regards Ansons2 Edited January 10, 2010 by ansons2 1 Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Oh this will be a realy nice terrain! Great landscape! Quote
dsawan Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Nice. will it be SF2 COMPATIBLE also? Thx. Quote
fougamagister Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Great ! I can almost recognize some familiar landscapes Quote
Guest ansons2 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Nice. will it be SF2 COMPATIBLE also? Thx. Hi dsawan To answer your question, I think it should be compatible. Do you have tested my other maps (India, Norway, Germany) into SF2 ? (You might have to change the .cat pointer in the terrain.ini file). If these other maps work, then this one should work too.

More screenshots to be seen on my website ansons2 February 2010 Update Hello everyone, I just want to let you know that things are progressing... During these last weeks I worked to make an italian town (Napoli ). I had to make new tiles and buildings to have the town looking like an actual one. (thanks to google map & view street). Here are some screenshots... (More can be seen on My Website (SFP1 page). still a lot of work to do but things are moving forward... 1 Quote

+Soulfreak Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Looks very nice. Will u use the stock airbases, or will you use moddet (like pureblue in Annatolia / Germany wip´s)? Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 Wowowowowowowowowowowowow!!!!!! Damn .. that`s fantastic!!! have a new favortie map! Quote

Hi Soulfreak, To answer your question, for now, I am using Stock Airbases, maybe I will try to use different headings for the airfields instead of having them always pointing to the north. My first goal is to have different landscapes between countries in order to not get bored when flying the map. regards ansons2 Quote
Guest ansons2 Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Hello everyone, April's News for this WIP : Italy is almost completed: Rivers, Roads , Towns and Harbors have been added. Here below a few screenshots, there are more to be seen on my Website. Next steps are : Adding a few targets to Italy and then moving to Sardignia and Corsica. I have already added new specific tiles for Cagliari and Ajaccio (Thanks to Google Map). Things are moving not very fast but I will try to keep the pace ! Patience is required but I really believe that it is worth the wait. This map is the best I have done so far. Best Regards ansons2 1 Quote

Hopefully I have designed a small utility under XL to generate the targets otherwise I would not been able to complete the task ! See the results below.

Wrench Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 ansons: try this for the smoke effect on the cryo-tanks. I lowered it down, recentered it, so it looks more like it venting from the central hatch/relief valve/whatever thingy on top EffectOffset=0.0,0.0,6.25 wrench kevinstein Quote

+sinbad Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Bravo! Is it totally crazy to think that this terrain could be used in FE2?? Apart from the fashions of the people and a few other things that could probably be modded, it seems it could work OOTB. The Adriatic and Italy have been totally off the map in FE. sinbad Quote
Wrench Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Sinbad: ANY map made for SF/Wo* can be used in FE or FE2 ... you just need one of the Original 3 Terrains in FE for the catpointer line reacharound. I had SPADs dueling Fokkers over Cairo at one time... (btw, one wonders how my WW2 Palestine map would convert over for FE; probably have to extract/place the FE airfields or just use the stockish ones from SF/Wo* -- that is if you all don't mind paved runways. And even that's easily fixed with a simple edit, swapping out the paved runways for the dirt version -and there's even dirt painted versions of the larger runways, too. I should know, I made them!!) wrench kevin stein Quote
Goblin Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 very nice, indeed! I hope see it uploaded soon! Goblin Quote

+sony tuckson Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Très impressionnant, very impressive Edited May 22, 2010 by sony tuckson Quote
Canadair Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 WOW. Being Italian and having worked in Corsica, the map is awesome. Venice is perfect, Cagliari (sardinian women areq uite beautiful) and the shepherd in corsica. Awesome. Which airports are you planning to include? Anyway thank you , this is awesome Quote
+Stary Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 nice, nice... but try making the trees less saturated, no these really stand out from the background, make the graphics less vivid. I'm refering to Corsica shots, to be precise anyway I like it! Quote
