Special K? 2CB? Cubensis mushies? Seriously though this map is looking really crazy and cool. You get tons of points for being original.

Actually i planned to make a book, and then ran out of Grass - and smoked a sock. After that time... darkness... and a soft voice out of my head commanding me to put a book into the mapconverter... :shock: :lol:


PS: Kixxe - you can shoot craters into the Map.

[ATMOSPHERE]
{
Skybox=space.dds;
FogColor=0.7 0.7 0.8;
FogStart=0.2;

CloudColor=0.9 0.9 0.9;
SkyColor=0.1 0.15 0.7;

SunColor=1.0 1.0 1.0;
CloudDensity=0.55;

MinWind=5;
MaxWind=20;
}
Make sure that you are creating a correctly formatted dds skybox(you will need an nvidia tool to create one)...

Also Make sure it's in the maps folder in your sdz/sd7 (I think it works from the maps/skyboxs folder too... I wouldn't bother).

Well the Map works still, i m reworking the Skymap a the Moment, here is a Picture of it...

After finnishing the Skymap... there is only one Problem remaining, i wanted to make a jungel map... but the middst does not look like jungle... can somebody out there do some GreenHell Trees as Features and send it to me ? The Core of the Map was planned as some oversized slot machine - you send units and Artillerystirkes into the Unknow beneath the Trees - and hope the best... Thx for all the help, if there is anything i can do... just name it...

Here is a Picture how the Trees should look like... (anybody remembering Popoulus 3 - those kind of Trees)
