Sicilia

I was thinking of making a new map based in Sicily, and I made a few things for the map. I have never made a map for anywhere but Normandy before, so I was wondering if these were okay.
Here are pics of the items:

And you may have noticed this, but I have put almost no splats on the map. Those will be added later, when more is done.

You got it! The red-roofed Holland houses, the cypresses, the light rocks and the plantages create indeed a mediterran-seeming atmosphere.
I like what I see, and I still want to see more  :D

Thanks, I'll start to work to it soon!

+1 Good map!

One thing: Try to avoid using green grass textures, as the grass in Sicilia was more yellow-looking I guess. But that's just my small, unimportant opinion. :)

It doesn't look quite as good with with yellow grass. Maybe it's just me, because I was used to seeing it as green. What do you think though?

Actually, I tried putting the tiling on with a mix of green too. Here is the picture of that (second one):

Seriously, I think it looks better with yellow grass, seen on your last screenshot. It will look even better with splats on it (that you have to add yet, as you stated), for example rock_spec_field or hay debris ore dry_grass _area or whatever you like. Just keep going, with or without yellow grass :)

So second screen is better?

No, I meant the first one with yellow grass. Sorry :)

Oh, okay. Thanks ;D

My country done well.

Good job,mister! :D

Here is the same section with yellow grass texture, splats, effects, and grass. I just have a few more items to stamp, and then I will start with the actual map.

I like what I see, reminds me of southern Italy :)

Aahh...home...

This would go nicely American Allied VS Ostheer Foreign

I'll be the first to download when you upload this :D

Thanks!  :D

Here are some more pictures of stuff. I have yet to put splats on the grape vines.

Fantastic! I spy with my little eyes lots of light cover.

Seriously, I don't think you need any hekp doing this. It would be nice if you make some rocky fields though.  :)

Thanks guys, I appreciate it ! ;D

And by rocky fields, do you mean this?

Kind of, but I think you misunderstood me. I mean rock fields like in the mountains. But keep on mapping, I'm sure you do the right thing.
And PS: You don't have to do everything we say, it was just a short idea, nothing to worry about :)

wow, this rocky field looks great :D

Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I get what your saying now. I will definately listen to your suggestions; you gave me all the good ideas.  :D

If you want to include these rocks in your environment, make sure to use boulders_04 and boulders_06, these are very flat and great-looking compared to the little oversized boulders 1&2 and the rather sharp, peaky boulders 3&5. :)

Okay, thanks! I'll use that. :)

After you completed Sicilia, could you imagine to create an EF map?  :P

I could try, but I don't know if I would be to good at making a russian environment.  :(

Rural areas, lots of fields, big forests - not too hard :)

Just Vodka. Lots and lots of Vodka. ;D

@MaxiKing6: Okay, that I could probably do.

@pariah:  :D

And also here is a basic of some glider's I will be putting around the map.
I will put some undamaged ones by the allied HQ when I get to it.

Nice! You could also add some ambient fires and, if you'll do that, some textures of the SPLAT folder nm_stains\scorch_xx :D

this is sooo coool....  :o

Indeed

@MaxiKing6: Thanks, great ideas!  :D

@Everyone: Thanks for the great encouragement, fellows!  ;D

Make sure near the vineyards you put barrels. Lots and lots of barrels. For wine!

That way when they get shot you get free booze ;D

Will there be a lot of heavy cover on this map? From what I see so far I see lots of light.

I like the look of it!

@Cranialwizard: I will probably put some stonewalls (fence ones) around some, and also some ruined vehicles, hay piles, and oaks too. That's probably all the heavy cover besides a few small things, like maybe a few cars or so.

Here are some pictures of the 1st Axis HQ:

intresting map;)

Great map, though it looks very flat. My suggestion is to add hills.

Hell Yeah! Let's make 100 community maps!  :D

I thought about just one for the moment. A 1v1. Small, but hell of beautiful.

....and this time,Gela will not fall!

@Seeme: Don't worry, this is Sicily. There will be TONS of hills in the middle. So far I've only done the small agricultural areas.

I was wondering also: Is there any way to have a destroyed wall without the gross splat it makes?

Try this:
http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=5311.0

Quotewb_orphan_nuke_texture      For using on WorldBuilder. Removes all the textures left behind by unselectable objects.

Thanks alot!  :D I never even knew of the console before. Only one problem though....the console won't open. :( I could just scream.

Last edited May 19, 2011 at 2:42 PM by Goober

No problem. :) Let me know if it works.

Wait, is this the console? If it is then I only need to press "~" then.

Yes, i believe so.

Thanks, but now I have a new problem......sorry. I put the cursor on the destroyed wall splat, opened console, typed up wb_orphan_nuke_texture
and it did nothing. Here is the screen:

Sorry, mate, but i've barely even used the WorldBuilder, let alone the console, so i can't help. Maybe you could try putting some other texture over it?

@blackbishop: I just tried it, and it came up with a new message(part of it cut off) but it still didn't work. Screenshot below.

@pariah: I may have to do that, I just don't like as it seems a litle tacky and doesn't look as good. I wonder why they added it in the first place, since it's just plain ugly.  :(

Thanks though guys for the help.
