MAP-Town Square(Final)

[Grenadier-SS Waffen]

And here is the final version of the Town Square map.Installation instructions are included with the rar.file.This is for "Henry 666" only.Henry can you please test the map yourself because on my comp it takes an eternity to load it up.I have a slow comp......After that write me a reply in this same thread if you will publish it on your homepage.Just asking.You can say no.

Thanks for everything.:rolleyes: :)

[Henry666]

Sure, I am gonna test it. But you should take your time for completing a map, as a start this is good but as said before, for a really great map you need time - lots of it :)

...and you don`t need to put in the .bak files in your archive, they are just for backup for the editor.

[Henry666]

ok, gave it a try, as said before, nice 1st one, but you should work on the balance of the map, as a start try to position the ressources really equally, right now its a bit of advantage to the axis cause they have a load better and faster access to the high fuel points.

For the artwork you should take more time, right now its still a bit empty for my taste, but anyway you can make a new map with the stuff you learned, always take the original relic maps as an example cause they use the stuff how they`re meant to be used... good luck, waiting for your next map :)

...and just a minor thing, in the first screenie you can see the trees standing on stone ground, a little unrealistic hehe...

[Grenadier-SS Waffen]

Lol.Sorry about the trees.Im gonna start a new map.That one will take me a month I guess.Its gonna be perfect.This one was only a test drive hehe.Anyway,when this map is gonna be done Ill post it here.It wont be done so soon so.........

:)

[Henry666]

Yeah, take your time. Good start, for my first map I needed like a week (Morning Glory) my last one took 2 Month (Invasion) and I guess you can see the difference :) ...

So, waiting for your next one :)

[Grenadier-SS Waffen]

Hey Henry,:) I got a qucik question.Do you by any chance have X-fire ? If you dont mind me asking.Coz if I have some minor problems I dont have to wait all the time here for someone to answer me.Im just asking.

[Henry666]

no I have icq, but you can ask your questions here, so everybody might have something from the answers :)

[Grenadier-SS Waffen]

Ok,I think I have figured it all out by now.World builder is ok but the next step are the loading screens and the in-game selection menu map picture.

I have been to some other forums and there isn´t much about this .....there is but it is so stupid that nobody could understand what the guy wrote.The only thing I know that all the pics have to be in Tga format.At least I think so.....

Can anybody describe the procedure in more details ? :)

Thanks.

I recommend you use gimp for making the .tga`s

[Grenadier-SS Waffen]

Ah......if we don´t have the Gimp can we use the latest Photoshop ?
Because I have tried and I have managed to convert pics to Tga.

:)

[Henry666]

guess so, never tried photoshop, gimp is a free download by the way.

[Grenadier-SS Waffen]

I got only just one last question.How can I put those search lights in my map.I mean the ones that are tunred on.I hope you know what I mean.

[Henry666]

yes, you need to make a stamp from a light thats on. means you can open my vire north map for example and make stamps from the lights (the button that looks like a stamp :) )

[Nobody]

You can find all the avaiable light sources in singleplayer mission 7 or on my "bunkers" map.
Until Relic fixes the light function, it can only be used with a stamp, you an find these objects with light on;
Opel truck
lamppost
floodlight
searchlight
