Anything would be alright. I guess you can make your own selection and post it here, I guess 4 pics would be enough for the loading screen.

Unfortunately, the majority of Berlin related images from April 1945 are miscaptioned, staged or just post war.... but here are some picks. Mostly well known pictures, but at least they are from the Berlin centre, timeline being April to early May:




Kolonnenstraße (28 April 1945)


Potsdamer Bahnhof


Moltke Bridge (early May)


Voßstraße, Neue Reichskanzlei

Yeah, I have seen all of these, I like them. I didn't want to use the most known ones but it seems there are not many after all.

From what I've seen, the most recent Berlin pictures (esp. from the Soviet angle) have turned out to be from Balkans - the East Prussia area. And naturally, there are plenty post war pictures starting from early May.

I created a thread in the BG42 forum which has less than 10 threads in total. It is the only possibly active place someone could know about the devs. Places where there actually is a conversation about this are from 2008. I will probably never get an answer from someone that ditched the mod.
Then don’t use their content, ”ditched” or not, it is still copyrighted material you are not allowed to use.

Mat, I will not wait a hundred years until a savior modeler arrives. I will release the map as soon as it is ready with whatever assets I have available. After all, I won´t make another map, I just wanted to contribute with something nice.
BGF assets are not available for you without owners permission. Welcome to the world of modding.

A dev from BGF made a post here in 2013: http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=18595.60

Quote
yes, this is a horrible resurrection of a dead thread, my apologies...but I did indeed give my permission for anyone to use any files that I created during my dev life on the BF series. I have been out of the BF loop for some time now, so I don't know if anyone is actively modding for BF2 anymore, but if you can use anything I worked on, please feel free to do so.

And Merry Christmas to you all.

Also if we're going to take this to the extreme: there exists content within FH2 being distributed that exists without having received express permission from the original creator(s). Not mentioning what it is, but it is there. If you want to apply US laws, then that applies to both published and unpublished works. Thus one could claim to have created hypothetical content before you did. However who created the content first isn't settled in forums, it's settled in a court of law.

That is indeed a good find.

Berlin map is not ready yet though it is in the very last stages. I just have to fix a couple of details, modify a few more textures and make lightmaps final.

If you are making a SP version I'd suggest you to wait for the final version of the map as there might be some changes.

The VS model was taken from a minimod called Warsaw Uprising. I just added the armband and the CMP crew helped me fix the texture. The model's head needs to be modified since it's too big and sticks out of the cap or helmet it wears. All the files are in the map's folder. For the texture check objects_client.zip.

Yeah, it is, we playtested it a week ago. The armband texture could be done better. It is a bit too big right now but since the resolution is low it might get hard to read if I made it smaller. I'm leaving it as is for the first release, might fix it when I patch the map some time in the future.

The Luftschutzraum looks cool. The Schneiderei seems a bit too big, could you make it a tad smaller, would be more realistic imo.

Yeah the Scheiderei one looks strange but the original texture looks strange too. I think I will just remove it, that way of making signs only seems to look fairly good if they are super large like the "Berlin bleibt Deutsch".
