And yeah, GZ, if you have that problem just upload it through the FTP and leave me or zwzsg or Storm a message somewhere.

Sure, thanks alot :)

This is a beta release so report any oddities, I know the top of the hills are not really worth anything besides wind farms and sneak attacks..

12 downloads? COME ON GUYS....download it already

[NOiZE]

some how the minimap loads slow in TASclient, however i also hav this with some other maps..

and it crashes when it finishes loading.. i do see a glimpse of the black map though

EDIT

I opened your sd7, minimap dds is missing and a fs.txt is missing.

[Forboding Angel]

you have to include mini.dds? ARG, I'm such a noob.

[hrmph]

I get a similar problem... When the map loads it doesn't crash but the texturemap is 100% black. Very weird, only map this has ever happened to me on.

[Maelstrom]

since when do you have to include mini.dds? I never have, and the few maps I have made always work. The only crashing problems ive had with my maps have been solved by removing trees and geo's from my type map.

[NOiZE]

if u include the mini.dds the minimap in tasclient will load a lot quicker!

[Maelstrom]

Ah k. So its not required as such, just helpful. I will keep that in mind for maps in the future.

I hope you can't reclaim those icebergs... Also, I like the night, but make it a little brighter. It's just annoying looking at a dark screen for several hours.

The 'bergs are reclaimable but I'm sure that will get fixed.

-bump- download the updated version NOW!

For the love of go,d make the map brighter... my shitty LCD is dim enough as it is.

[GrOuNd_ZeRo]

Sorry Dragon, can't do that, but you can feel free and edit the SMD if you like

The low-light is something i'll have to keep.

When i choose the map in TASclient, the minimap loads really slow.

On the map:

- if you use OTA style metal distribution the metal should be visiable on the texture imo
- Also the wind value is way to high imo 25-30 !!!! could better be 5 - 25 or something
- The background blue is way to bright imo

It does NOT use OTA style metal distribution!

- Also the wind value is way to high imo 25-30 !!!! could better be 5 - 25 or something

Yeah I agree there, but I figured Alaska would have very high winds during blizzards and such, too bad I have no snow to illustrate that.

- The background blue is way to bright imo

I disagree, if you look at pictures of snowy places at night it's suprisingly blue.

did u even look @ the metal map?

[genblood]

A map with real features .... COOL ...


I need to redue some of my maps with features now ...


Two thumbs up .... nice map ...

[Zoombie]

You know what i think is cool about this map.

Atmospheric. THats something you dont see every day.

Oh that's what you meant, well everyone is always complaining about too much metal, I sure could have added blobs of metal all over the place and have large mex radius, but this seemed to fix the problem much easier, and I don't want no ugly ass OTA style metal patches on my map.
