    各位好!我发的这个地图修复了一些问题。Polar Expressway算是个老地图了,而且没有更新,于是乎我做了一些小修复和编辑,让这个地图重新能玩。同时我也学到了一些世界编辑器的东西。:)

    我干了啥:

    更新日志(图片见下面英文部分)

    2023.1.12 修复+少量增添
    1. 修复了地图不在自由驾驶地图列表出现的问题
    2. 修复了桥、护栏、树干贴图丢失的问题
    3. 调整了主路的部分区域,现在交通流车辆可以正确生成并更加正常的驾驶了(至少现在风险指数低时它们不会滑墙了hh)
    4. 添加了TOD,现在地图有昼夜交替了(不过日出、日落时有点怪怪的)
    5. 为部分建筑添加了一些灯光
    6. 增加了两个新的出生点:天文台、补给站
    7. 其他的小变动

    2023.8.26
    1. 整体画质提升:替换了旧资源(新资源来自翻新的自动化测试赛道)、修改了树木的贴图
    2. 将主路的桥替换为更真实的样式
    3. 给镇上添加了几座建筑及其灯光(仍在继续)
    4. 消除了多数地形的毛刺
    5. 稍微延长了主路,添加了标线
    6.其他小变动(如稍微修改了雾气密度、温度曲线、天空等)

    目前我对地图制作懂得不多,假如我学了更多内容,后续我可能会搞更多东西来让地图更有可玩性,比如路灯,多加几条路,更多建筑物什么的。我也真心希望得到关于地图制作的建议,谢谢!最后祝玩得开心!:)

    Hello everyone, I post this map to fix some issues. You know Polar Expressway is an old map without any updates, and here I made some edit hoping to make this map playable again. Also, I knew more about World Editor through editing.:)

    What I have done:

    Changelog

    2023.1.12 Fixing&Minor addition
    1. Fixed the problem that the map won’t appear in the Freeroam map list
    2. Fixed no-texture of bridges, fences, guardrails and tree trunks
    3. Adjusted some parts of the main road to let traffic AI spawn correctly and drive more smoothly (At least they won’t bump against guardrails at low risk parameter)
    4. Added TOD to give the map day-night cycle (However at sunrise and sunset it seems a bit weird)
    5. Added several more lights to some buildings
    6. Added 2 new spawn points: Observatory and Supply Station
    7. Other minor changes


    2023.8.26
    1.Overall graphics improvement: replaced old assets with new ones (from the renovated Automation Test Track), and edited textures of trees
    2. Replaced the bridges on the main road with more realistic ones
    3. Adding several buildings to the town,along with lights (working in further progress)
    4. Fixed terrain spikes in most areas
    5. Extended the main road a bit and added lines (road markings)
    6.Other small changes (for example slightly changed level objects like fog density, temperature curve, sunsky, etc.)

    Currently I don’t know much about map making. If I learn more, later I may do more editing to make the map more playable, such as streetlights, more roads, more buildings, etc. Advice about map making is truly appreciated, Thanks. And, have fun!:)

    Messing around with terrain painter today and draw some simple lines of the roads, maybe I will finish these roads later. (Will not have much progress this month due to school work, maybe)
    今天摆弄了一下世界编辑器里的Terrain Painter,画了一些简易的道路,或许以后我会把这些路铺设好(学业原因,这个月可能不会有太大进展,可能吧)

    Currently don't know how to make the bridges better, but certainly I will try to improve them in the future (along with the guardrails, maybe)

    Hi there!

    Sorry for the absence of progress posting. Actually this project have not been abandoned yet. I'm still learning map making skills and working on this map when I get free time. Now I think an update should be released. I'm going to test the update to check if there are any bugs. If everything goes well, update will be uploaded before September comes.

    BTW, this project will not be abandoned, but progress may be really slow. So I think I just keep the tag as "On Hold" rather than "WIP Beta Released".:)

    各位好!

    不好意思,一直没有发进度。其实这个项目还没被放弃,在有空的时候我还是会学习些地图制作技巧并做做这个图。现在我感觉得发一个更新了。这两天我测试一下,确保没有bug。不出意外的话这个月底会上传更新。

    PS 虽然不会烂尾,但我觉得这个地图进展实在是有点慢。所以标签就暂时还是On Hold吧:)

    So, the sidewalk is "Meshroad" and the snow is "Terrain", so I suggest putting snow on top of the sidewalk(Part It whold be more realistic

    This map looks cool, but please change the thread marker back to WIP from On Hold so more people will notice it. When I saw it was On Hold I clicked it expecting it to be somebody bumping a long-abandoned thread, but I am glad to see that it is actually still being worked on.

    Thanks! New version will be released when I feel that new content is enough for an update:).

    Before I was assuming that my progress is too slow to be marked as "WIP":rolleyes:. But now I think you are right and I'll change the thread tag back. Anyway thank you for your kind words!

    Supply Station redone, mostly finished. Lights, roadmarkings and AI support added too (AI is stupid though XD).
