Hello again, I have made a start on the redone map, which this time is made off the Beamng template, not HiDefs template, and this is what it will include: A highway separating the left three quarters and the right quarter of the map apart Far right quarter will be mainly jungle/wet forest Middle right quarter (left of highway) will be a large estate and plantation Left half will be a powerlines track and eucalyptus forest I have moved most of the textures and objects over from other maps, and I have flattened the landscape down, and made a bit of a start on the jungle
I’ve made a start on the right quarter of the map, where the jungle will be. The jungle section will be completely handmade, whereas, the plantation will be completely made by a brush, and eucalyptus sections will be mostly handmade.
Yea well im not from the area only been once or twice, but I think there are a few spots in the back of the plantation, I heard there used to be a skidpad but it got ripped up a few months ago. Either way, I will probably add that and maybe a few little dirt bike tracks for the looks, and really for anyone with a dirtbike mod
Thats fair, The old skidpads still there but typical council have made it near impossible to get anything thats not a 4x4 on to it. Dug out the entrance cause we all used to take our slammed 90's shitbox's out there for photo's and a bit of fun.
Progress update: So I have done some more on the jungle, and have started on the estate. It’s going great so far, with the jungle being completely hand built, and the estate and eucalyptus partially (e.g. using brushes). I will probably release it as a very early stage WIP when the first quarter of the map has been done as a simple thing for people to get used to my work and enjoy while I work on it. That shouldn’t be too far away as work has gotten quicker after starting the eucalyptus. Hope you’re excited .
Here are some fun pics --- Post updated --- Quickly just another progress update, the map will be out soon! I am saying a week or two before I can release my early access WIP map, but do be warned that it will only be a quarter or a third done, with most of it flat grass. I have absolutely no intention of it being paid, as the whole intention of this map was to be a crappy but free version of JustCallMeSurges, if I was to make a paid map this would not be it. This map will be worked on until at a decent to high level of quality, and then it will be time to start something new, most likely an outback farming map or something similar. Features of the map when it will be released soon: A small estate with a few little roads, and a house in the bush with a hidden offroad track A small rainforest section in the mud and creek Eucalyptus forest with lots of 4wd tracks Good uses for the map when it is released (any version): Hooning, burnouts, and maybe a touch of drifting (sorry but no AI support, if ever, it will be a long way away) 4wding, anything from mild to wild, just not suitable for a crawler on 42s as it will be too easy Crashing into crap What will hopefully be in the v1.1 update: Start of powerline track Pine plantation More rainforest More Eucalyptus And maybe a little bit of farmland for roleplay Feel free to use it as a multiplayer map, you may edit it, and you may use any objects from the map, but only may you use the mud or grass textures. Credits: Me, for all the work Beamng for some textures, the template, and all the objects Straubz for most of the textures (not many, the map is a bit bland) as it is nearly impossible to create them from scratch on a Linux HiDef for the mud texture And all the community for the support! Thanks, and hope you enjoy it when it is released
So guys, last night, while working on the map, I ran into a problem. I had just downloaded the outdated Garfield heights to try it out, but it had no textures, so I deleted it. I then went into my map, and it had no road textures . This isn’t a huge problem as I have just used the concrete ground material for now, and there aren’t too many roads, but this will hopefully be fixed when I clear my cache this arvo. Whatever happens it will still be released in the next few days, and if the roads still are broken I will fix that for the v1.1 update
Bad news. Extremely bad news. The map is being redone. I deep cleared my cache to fix the road problem, and all my progress was lost when I launched the map. Crap. This thread is soon going to be set as cancelled and I will link the new thread soon. The new map won’t take too long as it won’t be as detailed as before. Here we go again. --- Post updated --- New thread can be found here: https://www.beamng.com/threads/seq-the-ridge.100112/
The new thread has been cancelled as well, as I have had more problems. Going to let it rest and come back to it later
