Chinese territorial claims

Such an exciting project

For the chinese too

All,

Sorry this is coming along slowly.

 

Was having issues converting the C-160 skin and stumbled across the post regarding an AC-160. Just dabbling with this currently using the AC-130 (early) gunpod.

1 Jan 2016 (Wow...where did 2015 go!)

 

1048 Target areas; total targets over 27k+.

259 Movement routes.

265 tiles.

Using Stary's GH3.5 and some custom builds that I have worked on.

 

"Real Life" is taking me out for most of January (sorry about that).

krfrge, take a look at this article.

KJakker,

 

Interesting article. Certainly interesting times in the region.

The way the terrain is built all of Japan is currently "off the map". My concept for JSDF is they are providing "expeditionary" support.

Not to say I couldn't move the map further north or maybe attempt a 4000x4000 Km area.

 

Thank you

All,

The work on this project is slow due to Real Life. I appreciate everyone's patience.

 

Early Fiery Cross

Nice atoll

[Wrench 9,616]

is that a '1 tile' island?

 

looks GREAT!!

[krfrge 742]

Crusader, Thanks

 

Wrench, Fiery Cross takes 4 tiles.

 

I may get a little free time this weekend to complete some more work on this project.

I have a feeling this is gonna make my laptop cry. Oh well, guess i just need to keep working on the desktop.

 

@Wrench. - your signature cracked me up. How did you ever managed that?

[+Menrva 4,067]

krfrge, you are doing a very impressive work with this terrain, I am amazed about the new tiles, that 4-tiles atoll looks just perfect. Keep up the good work and take all the time you need.

 

@Wrench -As saisran said, that applies to me too.  I am almost tempted to get that achievement too, just for fun.

sorry for the thread hijack!

[+Stary 2,426]

be it slow work, matters the results are very appealing and drawing attention Kferge!

[krfrge 742]

To Stary and all,,,

 

Many thanks for the encouragement.

I am re-looking my initial islands as they appear a little sloppy. They will need an overhaul and now I've got a good technique to ensure the island tiles fit together smoothly.

Kferge make sure the alpha layer on the water tiles matches colour/intensity of the water tiles in tileset you use (this case GH3.5) otehrwise your tiles will stand out as their specular/glossines will differ. Also some of these atolls could have smoother blue shallows to deeper sea transitions in diffuse

[krfrge 742]

Stary,

 

Thanks. I have experienced tile mismatches and have had to rework the alpha channel of the sea portion of tiles to avoid a color mismatch / specular difference. Last night while re-looking some of the islands I noticed the specular issue and have some work to redo.

[+Stary 2,426]

sure, can be tedious but when you know what causes some mismatches it's much easier later (hint: bucket tool )

[krfrge 742]

Stary,

 

Thanks for the tip. Still more islands to rework but it shouldn't take too long.

 

 

Kindest regards

 

Krfrge

you know, I've done that for other people, but this is the first time it's been done for me!!

 

(don't forget to put a hot dog stand there, too!!)

 

(mr. burns voice)

 

Excellent!!

[krfrge 742]

Wrench,

 

This is the least I can do for you after the assistance you've provided me and countless others.

Looking northward

 

I gotta find that Hot Dog stand!
