ToDo: * ssmf distribution maps * ssmf detail maps * double check height map for vehicle traversal * grass distribution map * apparrently I have to fix the rocks objects? will talk to behe about it some more * mex spot re-balance * sky box * mapinfo.lua tweaking
Very nice, I love the halos of lighter grass around the trees. It seems though that the trees turn to trunks when zoomed out. This is an issue with alpha mipping. To fix it, replace the pine tree texture from the one in Blindside v2.

set fogdistance to 0.7
Because of the fog, it's difficult to see details clearly.
I think your grass ssmf splat should be much more aggressive. At the moment it looks kinda blurry. Also, I recommend doing a grass shading map, so that you can make the grass match the terrain better.
Unfortunately, I'm not particularly skilled at grass shading maps, but behe is a genius with them.

Not that a good one isn't important, but did I read it defaults to the mini map, so it at least partially matches terrain?
Yeah, it's good and clear. Only thing I wonder is, can they pass too wide an area in the north? It seems better for veh that ever, but that's down to playtesting if that's bad or not.
Btw, to speed up future testing, just type /cheat and /armflash , then you won't need to build any veh lab like you did now so you save a moment.

Been really busy at work lately, so haven't been able to do much this week. [Update] Almost Complete * Tweak multiplication values for splat * Tweak splat distribution * Tweak Grass distribution * Get gameplay feedback on height map * Fix metal map for balance * Re-do the geothermal spot texture
ToDo * Create Grass Shading * Look into using a grass texture * Create feature object export script for blender * Sky Box? not sure if I need to bother with this one?
Features: * Trees, - update texture maps - update locations to be congruent with cliffs - Perhaps add more variation with different sizes, types. * Rocks - Update models as the existing ones are shit-house - Update textures - Even out locations for balance

sometimes I am kinda surprised how easy some things are.
For instance, I wanted to place feature objects in blender then export their locations to a text file for copying and pasting later.. its like 4 lines..
sure enough its not so user friendly, and I could work on that. but that's just fluff. I got what I needed after 1 hour. and if I was a competent programmer it would have taken all of 5 minutes.
Code:
import bpy
f = open("//home/enetheru/Dropbox/SpringRTS/Maps/Cooper Hill/test.txt", 'w')
for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects: print("{ name = '"+ obj.data.name + "', x =", int(obj.location.x * 512 + 2048), ", z =", int(obj.location.y * 512 + 1536),", rot = \"" + str(int(obj.rotation_euler.z)) + "\"},", file=f )
