i think my warning message was absolutely useless then --- Post updated --- nice to see you actually say sorry but next time dont bash something for a joke
yes of course --- Post updated --- i'd also have a lot to say to the overall appearance/road design, many things aren't really european, but i don't wanna spam here
Hello, thanks for the suggestions! I will replace the american houses with my own models before I actually fully release it! I was highly inspired by how the region around me looks like, I basically just recreated it, so for me it looks pretty good compared to my surroundings excluding the american houses and I am very much from europe! . Roads with no markings are on purpose, in my country, road markings are not required on small/low traffic non-main roads! The poor performance is mostly because I've used mesh roads to make sidewalks, which are really unoptimized in the game itself, I am working on removing/replacing a lot of them. Not sure why your performance is that bad. I have a GTX 1650 and I get 55-60 fps on low/medium settings, perhaps Vulkan is causing that, did you try it on direct3D?, or perhaps some setting that is set to "high" is causing the lag for you, I'll have to look into that!
Just tried the map and wanted to say that I really like the road layout and placement of vanilla assets. The map feels very familiar and european even with some USA houses and stuff. This will probably be my go-to freeroam map from now on!
Thanks!! I will release another update hopefully next week, made the roads look better .... and other things.
I used to think you can't really make a great map using only ingame assets This sure as hell proved me wrong Every area feels alive and well detailed while also looking really good The roads are fun to drive on and basically perfect for drag racing aside from all the bumpiness File size is my main issue but i can live with it
Update Beta Release v. 0.3 (download link updated in the main post) - Performance improvements - Added more clutter - Improved roads - Made some changes to the city - Made houses look more european - Added more traffic signs - Reduced file size 1.3 GB --> 1 GB - Fixed an object with no mesh (Thanks @7494626 on discord for reporting!) ====================================================== ~❄️Winter Version WIP❄️~
I believe the lag caused by night lights could be fixed if you were to somehow only load the ones near the player, like in the Shutoko map. Maybe you could ask Car_Killer about this, he has made a controller for dynamic night ligths and weather for some maps.
This is by far one of the best maps I've played on in terms of genuinely feeling dev-quality. However, I do have some suggestions: Offroad Trails being shown on the Overhead Map: Currently the map doesn't show where trails are and that makes it hard to find them without simply stumbling upon them. A Small Drift Track: I think a small drift track could be the cherry on top for this map, as right now there is no really good place to drift.
One of the best made maps I have played so far after CJA 2024! This one is close to dev quality! It's laggy on my low-end PC but that's normal for an Italy-sized map.
Realy a Great map, the roads are very bumpy, but that gives also an challenge to stay on the road :>) Keep on doing the good work.
