Alright will change the Flak color then.

The green area is the second sector of the map which is completely raw, it has no detail at the moment.

To be honest I didn´t learn how to generate the minimap yet. Is it easy to do?

I still have to figure out how to re-texture town signs and how to make the static Tiger and Pantherturm. Right now I just want to finish at least the first 2 sectors of the map, I want to test it with players and check out the general balance.

About the map´s greyish look, the skybox and lightning are just test, I will look into that much later, don´t really care for the moment.

Thanks for the feedback!

Just another minor detail that comes to my mind and that I guess I can easily implement. I will just need 2 languages here and they don´t need to match the mod´s voices.

Great looking map!

Sad but true

Oh man that looks nice but I already have to figure out lots of stuff, I did not expect to replicate a real place, I would have to start the map from 0 using a 1:1 scale to include the Reichstag.

I have a question: what do I have to do to replace an existing texture with one I made myself? For example, some buildings I used have french ads, I want to replace the original texture files and put german ads instead. Where should I place the files? How do I route the static to the new texture file?

Maybe I have to make a new static and add it to the map folder, all the same but just with a different texture?

I read the recommendations about mapmaking. The thing is, some times I just mix up the steps, not to get too bored or saturated of one task. Some times I place roads, other times I place buildings, fix exploits, add art, place buildings, modify textures and height, etc.

I don´t want to reproduce a real location. Instead, some parts of the map (like the first screenshot) will have similarities with real photos, all over the map. So it will look like Berlin to some degree.

The general infantry/tank balance idea would be that the only way the russians could effectively advance through the streets is with tank support on the front, which I want it to be a constant factor. What will change, from sector to sector, is what the germans have to deal with the soviet tanks. In some parts only faust/explosives/schreck, other sectors AT guns and tanks. View distance is set to high for long range combat.

I thought about the idea of obsolete weapons. Maybe the main kits (K98, StG44) could be limited, so a few people would be forced to use volksturm weapons.

It´s too late to make an outskirt sector. Kickoff for the russians is the first screenshot. It has 3 streets, connected in some points. The germans have a fixed 88 and a movable Pak40. Quite little to deal with 4 heavy tanks, but that´s the whole idea.

I have the whole map layout on paper, the next sector would be an open square, used as an AA site for the germans (based on real photo).

The 3rd sector should have a main very wide street and a Pantherturm at the end of it (based on real photo). I´m also thinking about modding a static Tiger I simulating it has no fuel, only turret usable. This sector should feature a long range tank/arty engagement.

The last sector should have very narrow streets, a total meat grinder.

It is an ambitious Project indeed. The initial idea of 4 sectors might be too much as you say, I´ll see how it goes as I create it, I hope I can include all 4. I do check every possible abuse regularly.

Thanks for your comments and keep it coming, everything helps!

I´ve been working on the map. Today I opened it with the editor and for some reason many buildings I placed do not show up. To view them I have to move around with the camera, some appear and other disappear as I change angles and distances. What is going on?
