New Mapping Project

Post by Terraniux » Tue Jul 05, 2011 8:47 am

I dont have a name for it yet, but I am sure you can help me out.
This map will be a combination of my current projects, to merge them as one.
It is gonna be a city/village surrounded by mountains/hills.

I am also gonna use these extra ued tools again, quite usefull.

Added the terrain, nice and smooth terrain....It is not complete yet, but it is only for some testing... :roll:

I used 2 new 512x512 textures for 'Rock' and 'Grass'.

I am glad you like it so far, but I don't. The terrain has more than 2000 surfaces .....and the terrain is 40960x40960x10240 units, the editor is extremely slow and whenever I try to add something new the editor keeps crashing. I think the terrain is too big and has way too much polygons. I forgot that the game is from 99 and the editor can't handle such things.
I pushed UED to the limits and made it crash haha. :mrgreen:

This week I reinstalled my complete computer and Unreal Anthology... opened the map.
In the beginning all went well, but the textures on the terrain are just not being correctly displayed either when I reopen the map. I think I must make the map further without the huge terrain and perhaps use it for another project. A small terrain for the city could be a solution.... but if you know me good enough...I just want my maps to be perfect for every kind of player. Damn :( .

So I guess my project is gonna be complete different than I showed in the screenshots.
I am sorry if you liked it so far, but I can not go on with this Idea because the map must be playable for every pc. :(

WAIT!

I can also use the terrain for the skybox, when I resize it a bit!
That would be the most insane skybox ever!
Hm...... :mrgreen:

Yes, maybe that would be the best compromise or solution. :wink:
It is best to keep it very playable with lowest possible lag, if any.

I am sorry but I think I stop this project (for now?). I am out of inspiration and my editor is just so ..... up. It keeps crashing over and over. I am so fed up with this situaion . And now that I have vacation I just ..... argh.... I take a break from UED.

Please delete / lock topic and I promise that you will get new nice maps from me once I have my interest in mapping and fantasy back. I just mapped too much these days without making progress.

If you want the .unr file Hook / Hersmkii just tell me and I send it to you.
You can work further on it so it is 'our' map :wink:

No issue T. Take your time and do whatever you need to. just back off quick enough to make sure you don't have a full burn out.
