Solomons rework.
« on: August 25, 2017, 01:33:09 PM »
As a kid I watched Ba ba Black sheep on tv about Major, at that time, Greg Boyington and the Black sheep Squadren. I have long wanted to rework the Solomon islands map listed as TD's in BAT. I'm not sure who made it first so if anyone knows , please let me know for the credits.

I had to start with Vella LaVella and Barakoma airfield since that was where the Black Sheep were stationed. From the photos I could find and with the limitations of textures and the map grid, I did my best to reconstruct the air base.

Real photo.







My work...











Since this map is 90% made in the "Wood " listing of tile, which means almost the entire map had the fake layer trees texture which show up like a tile floor, I had to make a new " Jungle " texture that didnt look like tile. I hope when I'm done everyone will like it.

Thanks.  8) If it's ok with you, I'll send you a link when it's ready to beta test for me since you have VP's Mod Pack. That way I know it should work in most installs.

Thank you Asheshouse. I'll add them to the credits.

@ Sakai... I did not know that VP had made an update to it. Is there a link or is it in his updates?

I really have to say that the original maker/makers of this map did a great job. I believe at first it was called " The Slot " as I have this map under two different folders. The Slot and Solomons. If you have these, just take a look at the Florida Island area. Who ever populated that area REALLY made great use of objects and was quite inventive with them. If anyone has fact of the original makers and updaters, please let me know. I have a lot of respect for their work.
