M.O.A.B: 'Light 'em up!'; +1,220|6482|Escea

For a while now, I have been working on this map called Tai San, a sort of USMC vs PLA Kubra dam but with a load of interesting features and areas that cover a range of different fighting styles of BF2. These include dogfighting, open ground fighting, close quaters urban and woodland fighting. The map is large and designed to accomodate big 64 battles, at current there are 20 flags, each team will start with 5 flags and no uncaps so there wont be a situation for baserape to occur.

Map is still in progress, but is coming laong nicely, jsu thoping I can solve an issue with the water :).

Screens, some of these are older, the newer ones are at the bottom showing the maps current appearance.

Those screens are from the actual map editor, which has poor graphics

This is an ingame screenshot, taking on medium and high gfx, still not brilliant because it lacks shadows which are done with the lightmaps.

Compression doens't help the quality like.

It looks like it could be really good, although the map editor screenies do it not justice.

Did that ever happen on the first map he made?

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.

To the players and not the map creators, don't even worry about them. The lines are probably just something like flag capture radii.

They mark the various spawn points connected to a certain flag

I want to know - they clearly indicate something to do with the game logic.

Ah I see... That makes sense.

And the red one running along the road - what's that?

It's a road vector

Any idea what's it does?

Oh, actually, is that so the game knows when to make the vehicles go faster?

No, it's where the road goes.

Eh? Do you not just paint roads in with a road texture then?

Yellow lines connect objects to flags-> I.e spawns to flags, and objects to flags. The green cubes that are connected via yellow lines to the flags are the spawn points for players (they are also there for the objects, but the object mesh covers them over)

Red Lines is the "spline" of the road

Any thin blue lines you can see around flags mark the radius of the flag.

Any thick blue/ red line you see around the edge of the map is the combat area.

The bright green terrain on one of the screenshots shows unpainted surrounding terrain.

Nice map M.O.A.B- as always. Loads of detail, but I would consider (well.... I would), cut down on the 20 flags.

http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/513/highwaypm1.jpg - you've duplicated the spline by accident on the top screen.

Just read that, 20 flags . Wow. This'll have to be put up on a server.
