File Name: Italian Terrain (incl. 1915-1917 campaign) File Submitter: gterl File Submitted: 07 December 2013 File Category: First Eagles - WWI and Early Years - Terrain and Environmental Mods Italian Terrain WW1 V2.0 ******************************* Update (2.0): - Removed ships that show up on land - Added fortresses (Austrian & Italian) - Changed ocean tiles - Minor corrections INTRODUCTION The Italian Front during WW1 refers to a series of battles fought between 1915 and 1918 in northern Italy between the armies of Austria-Hungary and Germany against Italy. Italy hoped that by joining the countries of the Triple Entente against the Central Powers it would gain Cisalpine Tyrol (today's provinces of Trentino and South Tyrol), the Austrian Littoral, northern Dalmatia and some areas of western Carniola. Italy had hoped to begin the war with a surprise offensive intended to move quickly and capture several Austrian cities. Well, the war soon bogged down into trench warfare similar to the Western Front fought in France. INCLUDED - Italian terrain/front WW1 - Ground objects - Italian campaign 1915-1917 (incl. needed skins) FAQs Q: Is the scale of the map correct A: No Q: Why not the Piave river front, in order to create late 1917/1918 scenarios? A: Because Q: Are all the named towns and cities correct (placement and naming) A: Yes as good as it gets. Q: Does it include more than one season? A: No, currently not. Might be released with version 2 Q: Is the frontline correct? A: Yes as good as it gets, representing late 1917 with certain omissions in order to get targets for the campaigns (like Monfalcone being Austro-Hungarian) Q: The river Isonzo seems to cut through the mountains, is that correct? A: To a certain degree, but I had to modify massively the heightmap in order to make things look right (e.g. river not flowing up/down the mountains) Q: The northern part of the map, e.g. toward Munich, seems without further towns? A: Correct. All forests and lakes are there but apart from the major cities (Salzburg & Munich) I've not yes included smaller towns. INSTALLATION 1.

Ahhh he let the cat out.......or .....who let the dogs out...who let the... don't search for errors, wrong colours, etc.....it's all WIP. But I guess you get the idea.

...playing around and adding here and there (wonderfull terrain!)

Hangars have shadow....strangely enough I can't enable shadow for the Zepp's (tried via separate INI file, etc.)

work still ongoing to improve this terrain (altough on a on/off basis)

love it!!!!

Mhhhm that reminds me of something! By positioning guns in a certain way you can have them shooting at each other. To be onest I've always avoided this work, since it's extremely time consuming. I've experimented with other ways of having 'random' explosions on the ground and came to this one (not perfect, but nice effects) 1. Change the 'ArmorValue' of the Shack4 in order to get in faster destroyed 2. Add a nice 'DestroyedEffect' to Shack4 3. Position two overlapping Shacks and EXACTLY in the small overlapp either a Hotchkiss or Parabellum AAA 4. Place as many from the above setup as you like along the frontline (slightly behind, etc....wherever you like) Effect: Depending if you fly over it as ENEMY or FRIENDLY the AAA will start to shoot and destroy the shacks and then 'booom' types.ini entry for Shack4 [TargetTypeXXX] <---------- just search for 'Shack4' within your types.ini file Name=Shack4 FullName=Shack ModelName=camp2.lod TargetType=MISC ActiveYear=0 TargetValue=0 UseGroundObject=FALSE DamagePoint=0.003 ArmorValue=0.0 <----------------- Reduced to min.

looks great! cool addition! thank you

+1 early types I know, no serious fighting took place. But having a pilot shooting with a revolver would be fun. Or an observer with a rifle...plus we would be serious in covering the whole timeframe 14-18

shadow? once there once not (or just because angle of screen-shot?)

great stuff!!!!!!!!!!

WOOW! Looks great! Thx!

Great stuff!! I see the death's head painting from Jaumotte and Wouters (Belgian) ...nice!
