Re: Death Road Island

Ooh, this looks fun...

 

Re: Death Road Island

That looks amazing

 

Re: Death Road Island

thats looks so dangerous...and thats how I like it but really awesome job I cannot wait to get the full release of this map!

 

Re: Death Road Island

First little trail.

 

Much Death. Looking Great!

 

This looks incredibly exciting! Are the dirt roads going to have subtle ruts, pot-holes, and noise?

 

Thanks! Glad to see people like the idea. It's slow going because I had no idea L3DT had better 3D editing tools until recently. The issue I'm having is the cursor jumping around the map sometimes when using a heightmap tool, really bad if your using the flatten tool. I have tons of little flat circles I'm finding around the map, which is taking up alot of time to fix.

Anyway, here's a screenshot.

 

I had that problem as well, i found that if you look down at the terrain it stops it from happening, as opposed to looking at the side of a hill or along the ground.

And looking great btw, good to see others making some off road stuff

 

Yeah I was noticing that, it also seems especially bad with tools that really change the height alot. Thanks man, your proving grounds map inspired me to start making trails.

 

I also noticed that it glitches more when you go over where the terrain tiles(the lines when looking through the terrain).

Glad to know i inspired someone to do something

 

Rest stop/view point pretty high up the old death road. Also making a paved road up into the mountains that is a little more tame, but has quite steep grades.

 

Are there going to be some small washouts or water on the road? Excited.

 

Yeah I was considering trying this out, gonna experiment with making it look nice.

 

Near the unfinished airfield, I'd say the map is ~50% complete at this point. Slowly plugging along.

EDIT: Another screenshot. Just out of the starting village.

 

I wanna spawn 20 piegons and comman the ai to follow me down the road MUAHAHAHAHA

 

Top of a trail, looking at the now nearly finished airport. Getting lots done this weekend, starting to come together really nice!

 

Thanks Kilo! This is probably my favourite map. Haven't played it yet, but by the screenshots, it's way better than anything I've seen. (Other than default maps.)
