[WIP] Remake - Lehrter Bahnhof (4)

Dear community,

I'd like to present a map to you that, what almost everyone of you would know, is an unfinished project of the departed Eastern Front developer Mr.Scruff. Sadly, he was neither able to finish this great project, nor did he upload it to make it accessible to the public.
Because it's a pity that this beautiful map has never made it to be played by other people and as my tribute to MrScruff, I have made it my business to redo the map completely, using the screenshots Mr.Scruff left both in his thread in this forum and on his imageshack profile.
Here some first WIP impressions

Progress Update No.1











Here a comparison of original/remake:

Progress Update No.2

Work continues after Kalach is nearly done. Today, I did the area around the church. Please note that nothing is Final, I just do a coarse frame of railroads/rivers/streets/buildings and care about the details later.







And here again a comparison of original and remake:

I'll keep you posted ;)

seems like a nice map.
pls integrate in EF (in a patch or whatever) because i hate downloading maps...
thank you all for your awesome work! since i finished school i have more time to appreciate your work (aka to play EF like a freakin addict)
BEST MOD. True story...

any news?

Yes: Maxis fingers are now just bones, and his eyes are completely red. ;D

No, I've been busy in RL and that will also last a few days. I'll keep you informed if something is done that needs to be reported.

Edit:  Unnecessary posts removed ;)

Continued work today, finished the northern channel but it's not beautiful enough yet to post some screens, I'll do that in the following days.

To make you understand that Scruff didn't left pictures of every single corner of the map, I created a picture that shows what I can recreate from screenshots, the red area shows the spots where the picture material doesn't provide enough information, where I just have the tacmap to rebuild it.

Love it, Maxi. :-*

Reminds me of close combat 3

Can't wait for more pictures!

If you're lucky, they'll appear this evening.

you put much time and effort in it. Looks great so far

Thanks.
Some hours ago, Cephalos was able to send me his latest build of Kalach because his WB keeps crashing, sometimes with the first object placed.
Because it's about 85% done, it has priority for now, I'm sure it wont take me longer than two days, maybe I'm even ready this evening.
Currently, my priority list looks like this:

1)  Kalach
2)  Lehrter Bahnhof
3)  Narva
4)  Campaign maps (no project assigned to me yet)
5)  SP map conversions
6)  Spikey's Harbour

Sorry, I forgot about your map, post will be edited.

I was going to say:

QuoteCould you do my map for me please please please? ;D

Then I was like:

QuoteHe'll probably be like:

Then I lol'd and posted this post instead. xD

I'll have to get back to my map some day! Just so busy as of recent.

Your post had a moving effect on my face musculature.  ;D

I'd probably even posted that pic, but you know, it would have been irony ;)
I hope you get back to do some mapping soon and I'll help you as much as I can, but take your time on RL and balancing suff ;)

PS: Take a look at my Personal Text.. ;D

^ Nice!  ;D

Kalach will be done tomorrow.  ;)

me2^^

so maxi you know if you need someone to test the map just send me a pm :D

Alright I appreciate your offer and will probably claim it. Because 75% of the map is done by ceph, you should rather ask him if you may test  ;D

You don't want my map, it probably taste like vodka.

We can make it like we did it for Lemberg -  You and Ceph vs. Cranial and me.

Gasp!!! Ostheer :o
But seriously, lets get back on track people. Back on topic.

Hope you are working on this project maxi, can't wait for an update! I am looking forward to this map the most.

First I will finish Kalach. In three days or so I will continue working on Lehrter Bahnhof. Don't worry, I won't forget it.

Good man. Look forward to your updates with a passion. Love every bit!

How's progress?

Currently, I can't spend a lot of time on mapping because school started again, maybe I can spend some time of my weekend on mapping but that won't be much. Don't expect me to finish this until the end of October, sorry.
