Hey guys, I just wanted to show some of my progress I'm making on a map. I decided I was gonna try my hand at mapping and I figured it'd probably be easiest (for me) to recreate an old map from FH1. So after some looking I decided to try and remake Cretan Village! Using a nice little tool, I was able to transfer the heightmap of the actual map right into the BF2 editor. And from there I painted the terrain with the minimap from the old map. And after a couple weeks of work and learning my way around here's what I've got.
I'll start with a nice overlooking view of the village of Pavlos.
Pavlos from the other side of town.
The main square, and where most of the fighting will probably take place.
Scenic shot of the tight streets.
The classic plane wreck we all probably remember.
The road leading to Pavlos.
Another shot showing off the 2 Pounder.
The guardpost flag.
The ruins atop the hill (which is luckily the like exact same model as from the original).
The german spawn of Zaros.
The British/Australian/New Zealand spawn.
A closer look.
And the command tent (the only place with any detail right now.)
As i said, the map doesn't have any details right now, just the over growth, undergrowth, and main building layouts. But let me know what you guys think. I can't remember how popular Cretan Village was, but I do remember I liked it. And also let me know your thoughts on whether or not I should make it more like the original.
