+Stary Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 View File Battle of Britain terrain visual update (preview) Gepard's "Battle of Britain" and "Battle of Britain in the 60s and the 70s" terrains visual update. version 0.9 preview: 24 of April, 2013 NOTE: For modern computers with at least 768 MB (1 GB+ preferable) of video memory. This is new set of hand-drawn 2048x2048 tiles and associated .TOD objects for Gepard's "Battle of Britain 1.4" (and it's modernized version) terrain. You can download these great maps here: http://combatace.com/files/file/5203-battle-of-britain-terrain-version-14/ http://combatace.com/files/file/10371-battle-of-britain-terrain-for-the-60th-and-70th/ Right now it's sort of preview, with only summer set included (more below) as the size of the tiles makes it very big upload. Tweaked longer-range fading trees .fx shader included, best to play with ObjectsFade=FALSE and DetailMeshSize=8 or more (user's system depending, included screenshots taken with DetailMeshSize=10) however I take no responsibility for any damage caused to your system by setting too high values and frying your GPU. New waternormal.bmp for your kinky Channel-crossing (Cross-chanelling?) pleasures included. To install follow your instincts. Modified ini files for the "60s and 70s" version of the terrain included. Also I have included the core ini files made to generate in Terrain Editor the .TOD objects, experiment at your own risk (yet better don't!) Knows bugs/issues: As stated above, just summer set at the moment, more might follow.Given the engine limitations and the way the map was created, not that accurate from farmer's point of view (english landscape differs from french one IRL) and I generously gave myself full artistic license to improvise things (read: make them up) as I went with the project. No buildings in cities, as I refuse to kill the immersion of this terrain modification with stone-age tech box-type TOD objects. Blame Thirdwire for doing zip about it throught all these years. "Fair Use" CombatAce license apply. NOT to be included in (or reused for) any kind of payware addon/product without my authorization. You can tweak/modify and re-upload this set just give me credits as the original author. BoB map created by Gepard. Have fun!

+Brain32 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Woah this is really great! No performance hit here although having previously experimenting with tiles up to 4096x4096 I knew there shouldn't be Quote
+Stary Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks Brain! yeah I have no prob with it and I wonder how full GermanyCE tileset would work in 2048 Quote
Capitaine Vengeur Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 I had let BoB aside mostly for no terrain could fully satisfy me and immerse me into the battle. Now I'm going to play it again, and again. Thanks a lot, and congrats for this new brilliant piece of World. Sad for the lack of buildings, but I'm sure some TOD genius will find himself motivated enough by this piece of art to find a way. Quote
+russouk2004 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I installed this over the 60s 70s terrain in complete new install(Great Britain) and got this..ac facing wrong way and double a\c .. Quote
+Stary Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 That is something wrong with airfields inis Russo I think Quote
+Stary Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 I'd recommend reinstalling the terrain and then appling this set, works for me (merged jul12) Quote
+russouk2004 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) kk cant fault terrain tho stary...nice I only wanted BOB terrain to use yours lol...I ll probably delete all ww2 objects etc...and debug runway and try n fix it. Edited April 26, 2013 by russouk2004 Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) i have the same problem as Russouk , i just downloaded all the terrains from Gepard and installed the update from Stary ,Excellent work by the way, but the aircraft are allways misaligned to the runway and the AI is on the same possition as the player aircraft Edited April 27, 2013 by ravenclaw_007 Quote
+Wrench Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 what I did with my WW2 version (many moons ago), was extract all the desert aifield inis, drop them into the BoB terrain folder, and changed all the pointers in the targets ini... like so.. [TargetArea001] Name=Lympe RAF FC Position=838009,610794 Radius=5000 ActiveYear=0 Location=1 Alignment=FRIENDLY AirfieldDataFile=desert_airfield2.ini NumSquadrons=1 Target[001].Type=Runway2 Target[001].Offset=0,0 Target[001].Heading=0 except for the airfiled _kurz, of course Quote
