Gibsonm Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Nice work! Any updates?I suspect it may well be collateral damage in the current "rift". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Not shelved but on the back burner. I did a whole heap of work on my mapping program to speed up making these maps. However once I had finished writing the extended code I only had enough time to do a batch of the maps I had requests for. Now I am back doing other stuff for a while. I may get chance to do another batch around christmas time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapper_511 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Sorry DarkAngel. I thought the map in question was Hunfeld. I had forgotten about your OP and was actually starting to do my own Fulda using the new objects of 3.0 with highways complete with working overpasses. It'd be silly for me to continue my version without waiting for your version to be released. Just reviewing your preview shots I know it'll be worth the wait. And thanks for the old Fulda Gap alt map too. I've seen a lot of game time in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapper_511 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Jebuz I'm so confused. I also thought those Fulda screenshots were Darkangels' too. Sorry about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapper_511 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 To answer the OP, I'm cool with either region. I'm mainly interested in the city of Fulda itself and the areas just East and North East of it (Nusttal to Dipperz). Thanks for the map(s)! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapper_511 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 What maps?!Pretty much for all past, present, and future contributions under his name. And if the Fulda Alt height/terrain map is indeed his creation, I am definitely thanking him for that. I have been using it extensively lately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapper_511 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 DarkAngel, in regards to the new Fulda map you originally mentioned, are you creating a completely populated map (complete with buildings, roads, etc...) or just height/terrain maps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 They will be like the D-Day map I uploaded a while ago. They will have basic terrain, roads and whatever buildings I can generate from the OSM data. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falli Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 So... the year 2014 is almost over and there will be a new version of the Fulda Gap map available in January 2015. There will be a completely new part west and north of BAD HERSFELD and I had the permission to include Eisenschwein´s whole HUENFELD sector map with the former FRG-GDR border. An extraordinary big thanks to this guy and his understanding of details. Without, it simply wouldn´t have been possible to afford the integration in this short period of time. The package will come with updated themes, which will make the area even more realistic. :shock: Stay tuned for New Years´s Eve (hope the pictures are shown) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I truly appreciate the insane amount of work/enthusiasm that this will require. My only concern is that if the map is too accurate we may well encounter usability problems with the current Infantry path finding as well as vehicle related issues (concrete dividers on highways, etc.). Please don't interpret this as being ungrateful or undervaluing all the hard work done though. I'll be getting my copy as soon as it comes out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapper_511 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Amazing!!! Looking forward to it.Let me get this straight though, you were able to merge two separate terrain files to combine portions that were created separately??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWardancer Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looking at my 8 year old laptop, don't think this map will run at all . Here' hoping Santa will bring me a new PC...:bigsmile: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looking at my 8 year old laptop, don't think this map will run at all . Of course you don't need to use the entire map for your scenario, indeed the SB Pro PE Mission Editor has a limit on how big a map you can use (20x20km²). If you have access to the military version which can create scenarios using bigger maps, then unit density tends to have a bigger impact on performance. For example for Rolling Thunder started with big maps and big numbers of units and had performance issues. We tried experimenting with smaller maps but retaining the high unit count and we had no real performance improvement. However keeping the map big and reducing the unit count fixed the issue. "Reducing the unit count" wont necessarily mean major impacts either. Removing "spare" units from the side of the map or removing the MG fire team from each APC (when they are attacking and unlikely to dismount) for a scripted OPFOR fixes the issue with no real change from the player's point of view. As usual, YMMV, so I'd suggest playing some missions using this map and then decide if you need ("want" or "like" is totally different) a new machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar11 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looks great, and with that many buildings and detail to the terrain it is sure to be impressive in game (for those with machines that can handle it). I look forward to playing and creating missions on the map.:gun: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
