Brazillian Battlefield Remake

[Beherith]

Hi folks!

Here is the remake of Brazillian Battlefield. Texture was made with WICed, and preshaded with normal mapping to achieve the effect that smf maps cant reproduce.
Metal layout, feature positions and heightmap is still the original (well as close as I could get)
Trees are from aGorms Aftershock V3, with their texture adjusted to blend in with the terrain, and some size variation added for that natural look.

Skybox by Smoth.

Enjoy!

Ooooooh! BB is an old S44 favourite, new texture looks great.

[AF]

I always wished BB was larger, I dont mean enlarging it but rather adding extra terrain around it

[FLOZi]

Yeah, a map in a similar style but larger would be interesting. It's quite small for S44 really.

C'mon guys. enough for vanity... ;> It's a remake of a classic map and I think that the texture and way it looks is just pure win.

Even though i don't like the metal layout, either the fact that theres no metal patches, I think that map will be more playable because of the beautiful and realistic look :>

you did the tag wrong..

gaaaaaah

BB but bigger would be fail imo.
BB is small thus its repetetive look of hills cant confuse the player but in a bigger map a player would get lost in the sense that it would take him relativly long to realise where he is on the map..there are maps like that...
So unless Bigger BB has a few very easy to identify terrian features so its easier to orientate it would fail major.

[yuritch]

That's what the minimap is for

[Beherith]

Fixed the skybox bug, and one even bigger one. Uploaded v2 to the site, link is still the same.

The problem with splattered/invisible-metal maps like Brazillian and SmallDivide is that I tend to turn on metal-view and never turn it off on those maps, so you really didn't need to bother with a texturemap.

[Gota]

Well i think many do not do that. i know i dont.

[smoth]

when you put down a mex it goes into metal view anyway..

[NOiZE]

It looks awesome!

[Pxtl]

Why thank you Smoth, I was totally unaware of that. So, what does the Shift key do?

/sarcasm

Seriously, the metal distribution is possibly one of the most important pieces of information on the map. It tells you where to place defenses, where to raid, etc. Until every bit of metal is capped, the game is spent hopping from patch to patch. So yeah, if I can't see the metal in normal view, I play with metal view on.

[Machiosabre]

metal distribution is important information?!


see what I did there?

[smoth]

the reply was to YAN not you pxtl...

[Cabbage]

BB is one of my favourite maps, hooray for sexy new remakes!

[Gota]

[BaNa]
