Hi pilots!
Another half year is over and I´m going to come to you with next map re-painting.
I´ve retextured the Ardennes maps with photographic textures.
First: I´ve canceled this terrible "desk over lines of Ardennes map" in terrain. Now you can see terrain what is continuing behind lines of the end of map. I´ve canceled strange ends of rivers and woods.
I created hills of slags around Asch airfield.
Next: I´ve made textures from Belgian, even if I don´t know, if they look like sixty-five years ago. Who knows?
and next too: I´ve made my first winter map. I think that it isn´t perfect, but I tried to make it good-looking. Some fields are with little snow, some fields with more. I did many experiments with woods, but winter wood is terrible I think.

how to capture screen (http://postimage.org/app.php)
I would like to thank to Max_thehitman for his infomation about Asch airfield. We haven´t any air photo of this airfield, but many information about classic USAAF airports and hills of slag around it and so one. Thanks.
Here is a trailer for this map. You will see a few villages, fields, Bastogne, and so one.

RECOMMENDING:
Fly with Forrest=3 in conf.ini
Fly with Cloudtype=3 or higher or early morning in .mis files
Cloudheight 2300 or higher
Special attention:
When you will fly some famous campaign - Legend of Y-29 or something like this, you will able to see some effects:
Some smokes and lights will be over terrain
Some planes you will able to see take off over terrain in intros.
Thats why I edited terrain for better feelings.

Edit by SAS~Bombsaway: I'm adding the links for the BumpH files made by hguderian for the summer version and the winter version BumpH files that I made so members can find them easier.
hguderian's summer BumpH's. https://www.mediafire.com/?nirw7pzcukm3hpj
SAS~Bombsaway's winter BumpH files. https://www.mediafire.com/?02xgbt78na80e5o
Place the files in thier correct tex folder, winter or summer.

I made a new version of Ardennes map - more snowy. There aren´t fields without snow, only a few parts. Crossings among fields are more fluently. This version is more historical - if you fly missions like Bodenplatte, this version is for you! Winter between december 1944 and january 1945 was very hard. And next good new - this version included actor.static and wactor.static without mods objects.
You don´t need any instalation of mods object!
Thats why I pack summmer and winter version to one 7-zip. Winter version included BumpH files by SAS Bombsaway - thank you Bombsaway.

P.S.: I read messages by some pilots about instalation this version in own slot in all.ini. Pilots - honestly - my personal opinion - these changes are so little, that there aren´t reasons for own slot for this map. I changed only textures and a few hangars from MODS to defaults hangars, that´s all.
Good flight!

Hi cyberolas, great work, as usual. :)
I'm getting the same problem as Bravo, I'm afraid. So I tried a look in FMB, and just got a black screen, within the FMB frame. Here's the log report:
WARNING: Camera: missing 'DeactivateWCM' WARNING: PreRender: Exception!
Hope this helps, pal. ;)
-
Badmuthafunker, he already fixed it, just re download the Package and copy over the old one, then your good to go. :)
-
Yessssss, Now were talking, all is Perfect Cyberolas, Thanks Bro.

Works great on UP3 ;)
Thank you very much ,hats off
-
Ok, Id be a happy flat pancake, lol
-
Cyberolas, one question:
why have you used trenches here at Asch airfield?
Should there be the "hills of slags around Asch airfield"?
or do I have the wrong objects? :)
(http://s27.postimg.cc/6xqb7760j/Manhay.jpg) (http://postimage.org/)

Trenches in both of sides of runway is historical. Hills of slag you should see, if you have map_h

Hey man, many thx for reworking one of the westfront maps, a long awaited addition :)
-
Thanks for the map cyberolas.very good work as always from you!
Personally,I hate this map from the first day I´ve played IL-2.It´s very historical inaccurate from scale and you can see all 4 ends from 2000meters altitute.. :-\
Anyway,I like your work,so I will give it a try.
Cheers. :)
-
Jeez !!
This is a hell of a map Cyberolas ...!! :P
THX for sharing ... ;)

Yes, I absolute agree, I was very surprised, when I saw distances on really map...

Hello Cyberolas, my warmest congratulations for this new map!!!!
Now, I know if you are super as modder players but I am very dummy, unfortunately for you.... :-[ :-[
I wish to know if is it possible to fly on your maps by QMB and if is it possible to set these maps as default for the mission
generated by Dgen. Another question about Dgen: where the Dgen upload maps when generating campaigns?
Does exist a guide for dummies? If not there is someone with good heart to give my a correct step by step guide to
do as above?
Many thanks for your help and patience... :)
Ciao!

dgen uses the stock maps in it´s campaigns, if you have installed cyberolas textures as a stock replacement for the Ardennes map, you will see the textures in any campaign which is using the stock Ardennes map

Wow thank you Cyberolas for so beautiful map and all of you hard work you did apply at map for us. ;)
-
Thank you Sir!!

but do you have similar "How to install a New Maps easily" guide...? :)
Depends what Modded game you run,UP3 or DBW or HSFX
Everyone has there own folder structure
#UP#/MapMods/maps/(place map folder and files here)
#UP#/MapMods/maps/(place _Tex folder here allow to overwrite the _Tex folder)
textures should be>
#UP#/MapMods/maps/_Tex/East/
If DBW,subsitute #UP# for #DBW
#DBW/MapMods/maps
HSFX>
MODS/MapMods/maps
#UP# is the mods folder for UP3
#DBW is the mods folder for DBW
and just MODS for a mod folder for HSFX
No all.ini iinfo needed to be edited,
as this map repaints the default map and is already in our games
Hope that helps

FANTASTIC!!

Great looking map. I loved the video. The credits were fantastic. I love how included your girlfriend... Dinners. :) By the way, There is nothing wrong with liking a big girl. Some are really pretty. Back in the distant past, big women were more desireable due to the poverty that had spead. Big women were seen as healthy and beautifull. If you look at a lot of older art most women were big.

I just took a 1 hour test flight on both summer+winter maps. All I can say is... FANTASTIC!
Big Applause for Cyberolas. (http://serve.mysmiley.net/happy/happy0065.gif) (http://) Thank you! Even the coal slags (hills) look like the real ones.
Now I will spend some time placing some tanks and vehicles on the map for more realistic
Battle of Bastogne & Ardennes scenes.

:o :o :o REALLY BEAUTIFUL !
Most of us couldn't expect, a few years ago, such maps in Il-2 ...
Flying over the winter version in late afternoon is very impressive also at low alts, and reminds me of the Ardennes map in Birds of Prey (wich was a beauty too IMO).
Population and textures are very realistic, close to perfection ! Excellent technique and excellent work (again) Cyberolas :).

Interesting BumpH files, even if I must admit to you everybody: I don´t like BumpH files. But nothing against your work my friends, these screenshots looks interesting and it´s only my personally opinion.
-
I hope you dont mind if I upload these winter BumpH's. If so I can remove the link. Its just that this is a really great map and some like the BumpH's.
Winter BumpH's...

Wow, looks nice...I maybe change my opinion. Thank you
-
Thank you. :)
-
Thanks Mark & HG. Im on them! :)
-
The original map looks mighty excellent, but I will also give it a try with these BumpH textures.
Where is the "Read-Me" in the folders for BumpH files?
Where do I put these into which folder?
-
Put them into the Ardennes textures folders (summer and winter)
-
Oh Sorry Max. hguderian is correct.
-
Thanks you cyberolas , this was what I was hoping for western front map to go with your eastern front maps.(http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q553/az9157/il2fb2013-04-2920-05-44-20.png:original)

BTW winter BumpH is again 1024....
Thanks in advance!

Can I ask why map textures are 1024 and BumpH are 2048?
Hi!
Cause they seems better (to me at least :) ) ... I'm following the advice from Avala, or vpmedia...I don't remember.
They said it's better to make BumpH files in 2048 size.
Cheers
-
These maps are superb. What a joy to fly over them. I have one remark however. At Houffalize the trainwagons seem to be standing incorrectly on the railway.
Trainwagoons are in default position.... thats wrong?
Well, the trainwagons are positioned across the railway, instead of along the railway, if I'm not mistaken. Could be my misjudgement. Apart from that I would like to thank you for your wonderful maps. They are the dream of every wargamer, please keep them coming.
-
Beautiful map, especially the winter version. I've spent many a weeks in that area, staying in cabins on or near the battlefields ... and the feel is very spot on. And it's especially hard to have good winter textures. These are top notch work ...
-
Thanks to both HGuderian and Mark for the BumpH files! :)
-
Mr.SAS~Bombsaway - I´ve just returned from inspection flying with your winter BumpH textures. Wonderfull! You made it very well, in towns and villages only little, on large fields more...super! Thank you.
-
I vote for Cyberolas's Ardennes Retexture Map Of The Year.
-
This map and BumpH files installed as directed and is working perfect in my 4.10.1 - UP3 - RC4 - FMB
As usual this map like all his others is beautiful !!! ;D

Mr.SAS~Bombsaway - I´ve just returned from inspection flying with your winter BumpH textures. Wonderfull! You made it very well, in towns and villages only little, on large fields more...super! Thank you.
Thank you Cy. Thats very kind of you. I may rework one or two of the airfield textures bumph's. I'm not sure if I like them but I will upload them if I do. Thank you again for your compliment. :)
-
Well, ain't that the damnedest thing?
I swear I've not touched a thing, but the winter map now loads perfectly in both FMB and QMB! ;D Rounds off a perfect evening, with the Villa winning 6-1! Happy days.
Thanks again, gents. And thanks again to cyberolas, for another superb piece of work. :)

I vote for Cyberolas's Ardennes Retexture Map Of The Year.
Hear, hear! I never liked the maps of IL-2 much and always hoped one day we would have a simulator with better maps. And now they are starting to arrive! It is even better than more planes.
-
They said it's better to make BumpH files in 2048 size.
Any chance to have a 1024 too for who still have trouble with 2048 textures?
Please.....
-
Well I flew the map (with my L-39C...anyways...) and what can I say?... Excellent virtual environment... Especially towns & villages (very immersive)
and ground textures do not repeat anywhere... Very Good job ! Thank;s a lot !
-
And where can you download QMB missions to this map ?
-
You use the standard QMB missions pack for Ardennes; this map replaces the original one (if you have it in your mapmod/maps folder, disable the old one with an "-".
-
Any chance to have a 1024 too for who still have trouble with 2048 textures?
You wouldn't have probs with 2048 BumpH cause this BumpH's size it's ok for IL2 engine since the origin.
So for BumpH files you don't need the 2048HD Mod.
Cheers!
-
I tried to make a new ed_map for this one. Those old defaults are really so basic, not atmospheric in relation to the actual maps themselves once you're in a mission. An certainly not for this great repaint.
But no matter which kind of overlays or map types I choose to make a new ed_map with, the towns and the terrain would just not align, and I'm not talking about being a tad off one way or the other, but real uncorrectable misplacement of towns, rivers etc. ... I guess the old default maps were made by hand? No use of dems or satellite data?
-
as this map repaints the default map and is already in our games
Hi Boomer! Yesterday I tried to do as you explain to me and...WOW...works perfectly!! I had no doubt of course... :) :)
But I would like to point out a phrase: as this map repaints the default map and is already in our games.
Well, maybe for you, modders, it is implied, but for a newbie like me really not... This phrase helps me greatly!!
At the beginning I believed they was new maps and if I fail the installation I will have many problems with the game...
I'm going to propose that some good soul made a tutorial, as "How to install a new plane easily", for maps also.
Tutorial may help us, poor newbies, better than many words...
Many thanks for your kindly reply and patience!!
Ciao!

Wow! :) Outstanding... can't wait to try this out. The screens look amazing. I feel like I've been waiting for this since Jane's WW2 fighters. Finally! A gorgeous Ardennes map to recreate '44 and '45 ops. Cyberolas, you are a wizard!!
-
your welcome Marco,glad you got it sorted out :)
Cheers
-
So for BumpH files you don't need the 2048HD Mod.
Thanks mate!
I wasn't aware of this for BumpH files!
All the very best!

Lovely maps, really good look and feel to them. :)
We'll add them into the next HSFX if that's ok.
Cheers.

A fantastic work, thank you sir. ;)

You put the BumpH files into the same directory as the textures they are 'linked' to.
..._Tex/East/Ardennes
and
..._Tex/East/Ardennes_winter
-
And what a difference they make Thanks
-
YES! I finally guessed right!

BumpH textures is the best for winter maps!
-
Just tested yesterday evening : great stuff indead ! ;D
(this is just an excellent idea to "repaint" all those old-fashioned default maps which needed that badly)
-
Wow that looks like a real Photo Cyberolas, Good one.
-
Got a chance to fly this last night..... Bloody marvelous!! This "must" be the new default Ardennes in ALL mod packages.
You really need to ask GilB57 to let you have a crack at the WestFront Winter 44 map. I have lots of photos of towns from the Battle of the Bulge period....many of which were culled from on-line sources.
It's a shame IL2 doesn't do ravines very well so that the Our, Clerf, Salm, Ambleve, Moselle and other Rivers in the area can't be represented as the terrain obstacles they truely are. I lived in the Eifel for 6yrs and toured this area extensively. You have captured the area in you Ardennes winter repaint masterfully.
-
Hey you know that gigantic sun thing in both Ardennes maps, does any one know how to get rid or them, or if there is a time that makes it show less? It's kinda like a photo bomb for a awesome map
-

stunning maps again, really well thought out and lifelike, must have taken you ages to do these. thanks very much :)

In the image above for your winter version, the ground plates for the airfields are white, is this as intended? or do i have a mix up somewhere?

Everything is right, but runway objects have different reaction to sunlight opposite textures, thats all. Try flying at noon, for example.

Ah, right thanks for explaining cyberolas, and thanks again for some beautifull maps.

Love your music style Cyberolas 8) Excellent noise!
Ministry is also one of my favorite bands. Got all of their records , some on vinyl too from the old days ;)
Thank you for your record album. A great present!

You put the BumpH files into the same directory as the textures they are 'linked' to.

and

-
thanx a lot max :)
I would have never looked into the "EAST" folder for the Ardennes textures without your hint
cheers

-
What standart campaigns or downloadable campaigns can I play on this map ? (I have stock Il-2)
-
Every campaigns. Sometimes you will be surprise, because some smokes and stationary fires will be higher than terrain and some takeoff in intros too. But these cases are all. You can fly every missions and campaigns.
-
Were any mod obects used in the creation of this wonderful map? Will not save in 4.12.
-
Yes, this map use MOD hangar and MOD hangar 2. You have to write these MODS in static.ini too, it´s important. Try static.ini checker, thats super instrument for this.
Especially don´t forget to
[buildings.House$Luft_Hangar]
Title Luftwaffe_Hangar
MeshLive 3do/Buildings/Industrial/Luft_Hangar/live.sim
MeshDead 3do/Buildings/Industrial/Luft_Hangar/dead.sim

I saw some videos on youtube, where were only texture without this building.

Awesome thanks!

install instructions needed!!! 8) for the most part I manage but it seems i'm a bit confused
-
I think all the answers you seek are already in this thread, If you consider the time spent making this wonderful repaint..the time spent reading all 13 pages are not so great, also you may learn to look for answers to info that is readily available in the right places
For these great FREE works we must make some effort also
-
Install instructions:
Take textures (files .tga) to your directory
MODS/mapmods/Maps/_Tex/East/ardennes and
MODS/mapmods/Maps/_Tex/East/ardennes_winter
and other files to directory
MODS/mapmods/Maps/Ardennes
I think that there is this way presets in zip file, or not?
So - I assume that you use MOD activator.
If you do these steps, you can fly on these maps.
Last step is install HANGAR MOD and HANGAR MOD2. You can fly without it, but your campaign will not be able to save missions.
-
I did read the instructions well but the maps aren't showing up in the QMB map selector only Ardennes winter map but that's the one that came with the stock version I guess. in my ini.files there I can find the lines for these retextured maps and the original is gone ??? Maybe someone can say what i did load this map I did get yellow, white artifacts and at the screen where you can your alter plane(ammo etc) the plane's picture seems like it still has to be made by a graphics program, I know patience is a virtue ;D, I do use SAS 5.20 tough. I will try until it works no prob
cheers
-
I did get yellow, white artifacts...could you make screenshot????

hi cyberolas this is my map structure SAS/MAPMODS/MAPS/_tex/EAST/Ardennes
Ardennes W
MAPS/Ardennes
MAPS/Clouds262 tga/
MAPS/All ini.
these 2 lines I do have in my all ini files map
Ardennes_S Ardennes/sload.ini
Ardennes_W Ardennes/wload.ini
And do I have to unpack the Bumph files out of the map or can I just paste the complete map without extracting the BumpH files in the map Ardennes S/W
cheers
-
1.What is SAS directory? It should be MODS or not?
2.If you have these lines
Ardennes_S Ardennes/sload.ini
Ardennes_W Ardennes/wload.ini
in all.ini
you don´t have this map in QMB I think. Try to look to .mis files in QMB directory... you could see line with right way to map.
3. MODS/mapmods/MAPS/_Tex/Clouds262.tga
-
I'm using SAS MODACT 5.20 so there is my mapmods folder located and I have only Ardennes_W folder in my QMBPRO directory. I did read some pages concerning adding new maps to QMBPRO telling me I have to create missions before I can fly on these new maps, thus a solo flight is not possible for the time being? I can select these maps in FMB tough.

Gents, here is also some info..on his problem
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,35419.36.html
Seeing the structure you used, tuskegee76, I think you made a mistake:
The "Clouds262 tga" should be in Mapmods\_Tex.
Like that.
For missions, ..you can always make one in the Full Mission Builder segment.
Load the map there and build a mission of your liking.
QMB is rather for lazy chaps like me or quick access.
QMB needs the correct mission and mission name folder (In DBW's ModAct's case) to be in the QMB parent folder.
For DBW and Modact, only the winter version is present.
And, finally, check the link in the other thread again, for huge bump files, you probably need to have the Hi Res mod as well, all linked in the other thread (my link leads to the needed thread where I posted more help...).
Chaps, he runs on ModAct for 4.12, and the MapMods folder there is in the SAS folder not the Mods folder or #DBW folder.
And here is where my tips end today lol. ;)
Cheerio
Tom :)
-
PS:
My error:
For the cloud texture:
It should be
MapMod\Maps\_Tex.
:-[
Hope I could help.
Chrs
-
tnx Tom I guess that different mods use different structures for installing Mods it seems, I tried it out with FMB and there was it that I saw the yellow stripes on a white screen and my plane's nose was the only thing I saw when entered arms selection, I will make this map running no doubt about that and in case of the BumpH file do I have to extract the files out of the map or can can I drop the whole map in my Ardennes S/W folder anyhow I gonna check out that link you gave
cheers

Thanks Cyberolas for another fantastic repaint :)

You are welcome! I prepeare new version of winter Ardennes (only little editing textures), because there were more snow than we have right now. And the most of battles were in december 1944/january 1945....
-
But the previous version could become a Late February/Early March "season" :)
Great work cyberolas!!!

It's good?

But you don´t show me missions, but tga textures....And you copied textures to directory for generally files for Ardennes map, if I see right...
-
Unfortunately, so far this winter map is not working, I'm sad
-
Europe_Ardennes_S
Europe_Ardennes_W
...these names are strange too
-
First:
Did you right copy all textures (MODS/mapmods/maps/_Tex/East/.........)
and general files (MODSMODS/mapmods/maps/Ardennes/......)?
??? Because you talked about QMB misisons and you show me directories in mapmods.....
-
I use route: MODS/mapmods/maps/_Tex/East/.........
and QMB mission list: (http://i.imgur.com/3UtEJOJ.jpg)

And did you try flying "classical" mission - for example from offline campaign Legendary Y-29. I don´t know, if there isn´t problem in QMB mission and map would be right....?

Or publish your log file. If you've the same message also in QMB it's for sure a missing texture problem!

You've a MODS folder...so could I think it's HSFX...right?

OK...you've a texture problem...as you can read it's missed the Clouds262.tga file from .../_Tex folder!
Reading the original wload.ini from cyberolas you find this line:
HighClouds = Clouds262.tga
If you've installed correctly all his files you must have this structure for winter textures:
MODS/MAPMODS/Maps/_Tex/East/Ardennes_winter
....so re-write in the line above in wload.ini in this way:
HighClouds = East/Clouds262.tga
Alternatively you could simply change the name of the file into Clouds256
-
I would recommend rather using something like http://pastebin.com for more convenient access to the log contens, than posting an archive on a file hosting site that has download timers.
Looking at the errors on the console, it seems like there's a corrupt or missing cloud texture (Clouds262.tga). It could be that the file doesn't exist, or it is in wrong format (RLE encoding, wrong bit depth, indexed instead of greyscale, all manner of things are known to cause this kind of issue).
Earlier on the thread, same file is mentioned in this post:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,34403.msg371500.html#msg371500
Guderian's fix will definitely work but I'm a bit confused as to why you're getting this error, since it should (apparently) be fixed since long time ago.
Is it possible that you are still using the first version, before the problem was fixed?
-
OK...you've a texture problem...as you can read it's missed the Clouds262.tga file from .../_Tex folder!

Alternatively you could simply change the name of the file into Clouds256
There is no change :-[
-
Search for the Clouds262.tga file in your mod directory.
Make the load.ini path for HighClouds correspond to the actual location of this file.
Two possible ways to do it - either move the file into the location mentioned in load.ini or change the HighClouds line in the load.ini to match the actual location of the file.
-
Success!
The Clouds262.tga instead of Clouds256.tga
for some reason I did not like the #262
Now work!

Hi Cyberola and all, a noob question:
Have I to download the "MOD Hangar" and "MOD Hangar 2" objects?
I have a very clean "SAS ModAct 5.21" modded of il2 1946.
I downloaded your ardennes map, and althoght FullMissionBuilder opened it well, it can't save missions nor can't start play the mission
-
Hi Enrico!
I have very good news for you.
1. If you want to fly campaigns, you should have these mods. I use very clean 4.12.1 with SAS Mod activator. If you want to fly missions from QMB and single missions, you don´t need it. You will have some textuires without these hangars, but this is ok.
2. Good news: I prepeare new version of winter Ardennes, with "heavy snow" - almost without brown fields without snow. This new version will be without any next MODS! I don´t like installing new MODS only for one map and similar things. I like almost clean version of my il-2 Sturmovik.
-
I'm trying to do a solo flight in a p-51 over the summer map in FMB, but when I hit play, it won't. Also, I've tried to save a FMB mission in the single mission section, but it won't let me. What am I doing wrong? I can't play when I hit play or save the mission anywhere. What is up? Do I need Hangar Mod 1&2? I'm running 4.12.1 m and Modact 5.2.
-
Thank you for the reply Cyberolas, glad to know about your new version of Ardennes which will be surely magnificient like the current one.
About the problem I've reported, I'll try to describe it better:
a) Installed your map, both summer and winter;
b) Opened in Full Mission editor (my SAS MODactiv IL2 didn't show any Ardennes option in QMB, neither before downloading yours) and it appears fine, zoomable in and out, everything seems ok
c) I place a plane with two or three waypoint
d) I click "Save as.." and choose a name
e) still inside FMB, i click "Play" and... nothing happen! And there isn't any .mis file saved!
So, for some reason the map can't be launched by my pc even for single missions.
Probably the MOD hangar determines this, since I've not it;
this MOD hangar is a single object or a Mod? Asking to have an idea about where to find it.
PS: Installed also your Crimea map: simply wonderful :)
-

I have this same issue.
-
Yes, yes, yes. Missing of some objects have these effects. You can´t save mission from FMB and you can´t save finished mission in campaign, so you fly again and again the same mission. I recommed: Using satatic.ini checker - little program what says you what you need. Untill I publish new version - maybe one month....ok?
-
Ok Cyberolas, in the meantime I'll search for static ini checker to try it.
-
I ran static checker and it said I was missing this: buildings.House$Luft_Hangar. Where would I find that, I downloaded LAL Hangar mod already.
-
Oh yeah, I know this hangar and I used it a lot in Crimea map, Kuban and so on. Stange thing, when I make populating in maps, I can see it in directory basic buildings. So - I suggest: Tomorrow evening I will publish this hangar on this topic, ok?
-
Tomorrow evening I will publish this hangar on this topic, ok?
Sounds good! Great maps, I'm running them on my DBW install, but not yet 4.12.1 m.
-
They all work in 4.12 and 4.12.1 too
-
They all work in 4.12 and 4.12.1 too
I have 4.12.1 m and I haven't gotten them working...what do I need to do to change that? It says I'm missing objects.
-
download the object pack here at the map mod section.
-
So, my friends, Luft hangar is on the first page of this topic!
-
Thank you very much Cyberolas, now Crimea map works perfectly, and it's beautyful.
Still object "buildings.House$TypeD-herbe" missing from Prokhorovka and Ardennes, accordingly to static_checker.
Can anyone post that object?
Thank you
-

So, my friends, Luft hangar is on the first page of this topic!
Thanks so much man! Keep up the GREAT--I mean exceptional--work! :)

Ardennes summer is outstanding, really wonderful and immersive, a pleasure to fly over this piece of art in its field. My best compliments to you Cyberolas.
Tried also winter version and prokhorovka, but they still don't save mission; now static-checker tells these objects missing (I don't know why only now they are listed, probably my mistake):
Winter ardennes: missing object "buildings.House$TypeD-herbe_W"
Prokhorovka: missing object "buildings.House$Hangar_typeG"
If someone could post them I will avoid to download about 1GB of objectr pack...
Thnks!
-
...I will avoid to download about 1GB of objectr pack...
Thnks!
I will highly reccomend and suggest to download and install that 1 gigabyte of objects into
your IL2+mods game, so in the future you will not have problems in flying in any map you use.
If a map-artist needs to put every-single object he uses in his map, then it is going
to be a very big download and its unnessessary.
We do not need a big map download.
We must make things simple and easy.
Make things simple for yourself and your IL2+mods game and please install all the necessary objects
the maps need, for ALL maps, before you run into problems in the future again and need specific
objects just so one map can work .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will post here a message I wrote for another IL2-fan who was having problems with his game~,
so you can see what you need to download.
....//....
.... judging by the number of posts and problems you have posted already in other threads, it seems
you are having major problems with your maps showing correctly due to the fact you are
missing out on many static-objects.
The original IL2 modded game already comes with a large selection of objects (About 3500+), but
many new objects have been added to many maps in the last 5 years.
You must keep your game up-to-date with these new object add-ons or you will experience game crashes in the future.
I will suggest for you to take a day off from doing anything else with your game and just
download and get your new static-objects into your game.
Look into this section for all the new objects that have been released...
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/board,221.0.html
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/board,6.0.html
(Take note= YOU DO NOT NEED to download my recent object packs. These were created very recently and
no maps use them yet. But all the other older objects you will need, because many map makers have already used tand included hem in the new maps already released and those other Retextured/Repopulated maps! )
~~~~~~~~~~~
Now there are two BIG packages with many of these objects which have been packed by UP~Boomer and
SAS~Farang. DOWNLOAD THEM.
Just so you will not spend too much time with looking for what you really need, I suggest
to download these special packs and install them all.
They are available at Mission4Today. I will post for you a link in
a minute.
They are still not entirely complete with 100% of the objects , but they do have 99% of all the known
and needed objects for your maps to appear in the game and those missions you have been having problems
with.
00_Objects Pack UP~Boomer for 4.10/4.11 mediafire links 00_Objects_V Update
DOWNLOAD ALL - http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&c=156
Boomer's Object Pack
(important= These are the original IL2+Mods game static objects which you should have already
in your game, if you do not have them, you better get them now)
DOWNLOAD ALL - http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=1621
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once you download these you should have close to 4,000 static objects in your game (which also include vehicles/tanks/trees)
and all your maps should be appearing with those missions you want to see and fly.
Your game should be running and playing with no problems with all these objects. I have in my game over 5,500+ new objects
and I have no problems. My computer is not the best either. SO its all cool.
-
I agree with max in that including commonly used assets (like hangars or houses or other objects) in every map that uses them is not particularly great idea as it would increase download sizes and bandwidth consumption with a lot of redundancy - same objects would end up being downloaded with several map mods, for example.
However, mod dependencies should always be marked clearly. I have no problem whatsoever with downloading an object pack if it's used as a dependance repository for several maps, but if no dependencies are mentioned I will always assume a released mod (map, plane, etc.) is a contained, working package for a given environment.
Nothing bums me like trying to install a thing only to find that I need another thing to actually run it. :-X

For cyberolas
(http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa77/9mm_suzi/z_TWAflying_01.jpg)
Do you notice I have different bridges on your Ardennes map?
I have erased all the old bridges from my personal game that had
bright yellow and bright green colors. Also , no more White colored bridges. :D
-
Max_thehitman, in general I agree with what you say but with my internet connection it takes about 7 hours to download 1 GB and, above all, consuming half of the max monthly traffic available for me; since only 4 objects were missing for me, I looked for only those. At the beginning of next month the download will reset to zero and I will download much more easily for some time :)
To Cyberolas: now all works perfectly, the winter Ardennes and Prokhorovka are wonderful, both of them too a masterpiece. Thank you Cyberolas!
-
So pilots - as I promised - in first page you can see link for new version of winter Ardennes - more snowy.
-
Thank you cyberolas. :)
-
Great update. I enjoyed making the new BumpH files. I'm glad you like them Cyberolas. I always love your maps. Thank you. :)
-
Fantastic work once again, thank you Cyberolas!
-
Cyberolas, is there a way to change the woods into winter woods?
-
I don´t understand this question - into winter woods? There are woods with green/grau color - by reality - do youi want some heavy snowy wood like in Stalingrad map? You can rewrite all lines in wload.ini....
-
Forgive me for being not clear. I've noticed that the trees in the villages on the winter map are still very green. They almost look like summer trees. I would like to change them into bare winter trees, without leaves, if that is possible.
Apart from that and as I said before, I love your maps. It is hard for me to fly over any other maps, being spoiled by yours.
-
Aragorn1963:
If you have the high res mod I can send you something I store on ym desk.
There are winter trees around. In stock and high res.
-
Hallo Tom. Not sure which high resolution mod that is. Can you please point me to it? And yes, I would be very interested in your winter trees. Thank you in advance.
-
Oh yeah! I know - I used the same kind of trees like in Slovakia map. So - rewrite
Tree0 = Trees/sk_AlteredBush8aw.tga
TreeLightMask = Trees/LightM256.tga
to
Tree0 = Trees\AlteredBush8aw.tga
TreeLightMask = Trees\LightM256.tga
in wload.ini in Ardennes directory...
and you are going to have snowy trees like from Stalingrad, or similar map - because these trees are from stock winter trees with snow.
-
Hallo Tom. Not sure which high resolution mod that is. Can you please point me to it? And yes, I would be very interested in your winter trees. Thank you in advance.
OK, some links for you,
You need this mod for any high resolution elements like trees, textures or skins in IL-2:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,33239.0.html
And the Lights in the IL-2 mod by carsmaster, I use the easy set of DIIs.
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,14789.0.html
If you have issues with this mod, I tried to sum some info to solve them

(leads to this page)

PS:
Cyberolas is right, the links and textual part(ie)s above are only in case you want the high res mod. ;)
-
Thank you to the both of you, gentlemen. I'm going to try it out.
-
Hats off again to the man who can produce great maps without added objects!!! Thank you, Cy :)
-

Cyberolas, I did change these lines, but still summer trees show up, instead of winter trees. What else do I have to change?
-
Impossible...did you change really wload.ini in right directory?
Have you got this map as a repaint or a new map Ardennes_RRR? ...or similar name...
-
to cyberolas
Thanks for your work.
Your maps are beautiful, but in a lot of black shadows.
You sorry but I tried to edit your textures to 2048 pixels.
I further applied different filters.
I created the files size 4096 BumpH.
You can see what happened to the GIF animation file.(wait animations)
You can also download the file 2048 Bastogne_fields666.tga and file 2048 Bastogne_fields666.BumpH.
I think you are a talented artist.
You can make beautiful maps in 2048 pixels.

Very Cool Sergey.
-
Hmmm, good job - this brighter version. But -
1.I don´t use 2048 pixels. I talked with DT and they said - this is road to hell, because basic il-engin isn´t made for it.
2.I used more contrastic parts textures (or darker) with trees and villages, because when you have so bright white in textures, you can see very well terrible il-effect with step-viewing of objects (I think you know what I mean). I did many experiments with it. But - if you saw some flying video from winter - you could see very dark woods and trees...., couldn´t you?

Aragorn1963 and gianlucabagatti (http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv340/Bingo1957/1611201320-38-03_zps52981d8b.jpg) (http://s697.photobucket.com/user/Bingo1957/media/1611201320-38-03_zps52981d8b.jpg.html) I wonder if you guys are talking about the forests?If that is the case then a snowier forest can be achieved,in this case if you already have the Battle of Moscow installed go to your Ardennes folder in your MapMods/maps folder open it up and find the wload file open it up with Notepad and find this section
[WOOD]
Wood0 = forest/summer/sk_Wood0.tga
Wood1 = forest/summer/sk_Wood1.tga
Wood2 = forest/summer/sk_Wood2.tga
Wood3 = forest/summer/sk_Wood3.tga
Wood4 = forest/summer/sk_Wood4.tga
WoodMask2 = East/Ardennes_winter/ArdennesMask.tga
WoodMask3 = East/Ardennes_winter/ArdennesMask2.tga
WoodMiniMasks = forest/summer/MiniMask.tga
SideWood = forest/summer/ForestSide.tga Now go to the Battle of Moscow map,it should be in your MapMods/maps folder in a folder named BoM,find the wload file in it and open it up and scroll down to this section [WOOD]
Wood0 = land/Oks2/Oks_Wood.tga
Wood1 = land/Oks2/Oks_Wood2.tga
Wood2 = land/Oks2/Oks_Wood3.tga
Wood3 = land/Oks2/Oks_Wood4.tga
Wood4 = land/Oks2/Oks_Wood5.tga
WoodMask2 = forest/winter/WoodMask.tga
WoodMask3 = forest/winter/WoodMask2.tga
WoodMiniMasks = forest/winter/MiniMask.tga
SideWood = forest/winter/WoodSide.tga Cut the [WOOD] section out of your Ardennes wload file and replace it with the one from your Battle of Moscow wload file.These instructions will also work with any map that uses the winter forest TGA's just replace your Ardennes wload file [WOOD] section with the [WOOD] section from any map that uses them ;) (http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv340/Bingo1957/1111201313-34-03_zpsb73946c2.jpg) (http://s697.photobucket.com/user/Bingo1957/media/1111201313-34-03_zpsb73946c2.jpg.html)

Hi Gumpy, I'm talking about the individual trees in the villages, not about the forests. The trees in Bastogne for example are still very lush and green. I would like to change them to winter trees, so without leafs. After changing the lines you've mentioned, the map doesn't load correctly anymore. Sorry to bother you again, I appreciate your help.
-
Hopefully you made a backup of you Ardennes wload file? If not you'll have to unzip the download again and get that original wload file.The only thing I can figure out then Aragorn is you must have different TGA files in your _Tex folder Because this is what I get when I use cyberolas settings for winter trees (http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv340/Bingo1957/171120130-31-12_zpsb262cd71.jpg) (http://s697.photobucket.com/user/Bingo1957/media/171120130-31-12_zpsb262cd71.jpg.html) Go and look for your AlteredBush8aw.tga it should look like this (http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv340/Bingo1957/AlteredBush8awcopy_zps1bf95c51.jpg) (http://s697.photobucket.com/user/Bingo1957/media/AlteredBush8awcopy_zps1bf95c51.jpg.html) and the LightM256.tga is pretty much standard in all versions.
-
Gumpy, that is exactly what I'm looking for. Would you mind posting those files here, so I can have the same winter trees as you please?
-
Woods look good, but closer to reality is my darker...:)
I have no prolem with it...:)
-
Gumpy, that is exactly what I'm looking for. Would you mind posting those files here, so I can have the same winter trees as you please?
Here ya go Aragorn. https://www.mediafire.com/download/cr77tv3ykhberec/_Tex.7z
-
You are a gentleman, Gumpy. Thank you. Forgive me for being a pain, but can you also post that AlteredBush8aw.tga file please? My trees are still very green.
-
Gumpy, I thought that these winter trees files are in stock, (and we can have only line in load.ini) - they aren´t?
-
You are a gentleman, Gumpy. Thank you. Forgive me for being a pain, but can you also post that AlteredBush8aw.tga file please? My trees are still very green.
UMMM I don't understand it's in the download. (http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv340/Bingo1957/ooo_zpsed69d3bf.jpg) (http://s697.photobucket.com/user/Bingo1957/media/ooo_zpsed69d3bf.jpg.html) You did unzip it with 7zip didn't you?And you did remember to add cyberolas settings Tree0 = Trees\AlteredBush8aw.tga
TreeLightMask = Trees\LightM256.tga
back into your Ardennes wload file I hope. :-X
-
Gumpy, I thought that these winter trees files are in stock, (and we can have only line in load.ini) - they aren´t?
At this point in time I'm no longer sure,everyone's instillation seems to be a little different.What works on one won't work on another,what one person has others have never seen or heard of.It's all getting very confusing. ??? ;)
-
Well, cyberolas, Gumpy, I'm afraid whatever I do I can't get it right. Individual trees stay very green. I hope you can help me some more, but I realize I'm trying your patience.
-
Hi Gumpy and Cyberolas thanks: everything's working now. To Aragorn: did you try with Forest=3 in conf.ini?
Bets regards,
Gianluca
-
gianlucabagatti, could you please explain in more detail?
-
Hi Aragorn, look in your conf-ni, down to the ppenGL section and you hould find a line like this "forest=1" it could be also forest=2 and here change the nuber to 3. Save changes and exit: that is!
-
Well, not for me unfortunately... >:(
-
Tree0 = Trees\AlteredBush8aw.tga - this is important line in load.ini
Next - you have to download Gumpy´s files from mediafire (last page in this discussion) and copy it to your folder
MODS/mapmods/maps/_Tex/trees/AlteredBush8aw.tga
And all next files by Gumpy too.
Thats all. What instalation do you use? DBW, HSFX or MOD activator?
-
I'm using DBW. I've changed the lines in load.ini, added the tga files, but the trees are still green.
-
Have you checked that there isn't another AlteredBush8aw.tga file or load.ini file that is in your mods folder and getting loaded before the ones you have put in.
Also, check that the map name in all.ini is identical to the map folder name in your mods folder
Regards,
m
-
Or next solving - put files with AlteredBush8aw.tga to folder Ardennes_winter in _Tex/East/.... folder and write this right way to load.ini
-
Cyberolas, Gumpy, Marcost, I've tried it all, but to no avail. I think I will have to live with green trees. But thank you for your help.
-
Well, for the last couple of days I've tried all solutions over and over again, because I didn't want to bother people anymore, but I can't get those winter trees to work. Is there perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I am, who uses DBW 1.71 and who is willing to take what it takes to get winter trees on this superb map? I have the feeling I'm overlooking something.
I love this map, but simply can't get used to green trees in the middle of winter. It's simply ain't right. All help would be highly appreciated.
-
So, users of DBW, try to hlep please!

Are you running Perfect settings ?
be sure to have forest = 3 in your config.ini under OpenGL header
forest = 3 does not work on excellent settings!
This is what it looks like in my clean,unaltered DBW 1.71>
(http://i805.photobucket.com/albums/yy336/UP_Boomer/Maps/2311201311-51-47_zps03d8227e.jpg) (http://s805.photobucket.com/user/UP_Boomer/media/Maps/2311201311-51-47_zps03d8227e.jpg.html)

If you are in fact running Perfect settings,and have forest = 3 working...
then I will go further trying to help because it would then have to be an installation problem on your end
or a conflict with some other files in your own game
forest = 3 is only needed to make the tree objects inside a village look like the random trees that are in the countryside
that is all forest = 3 does
if forest = 2 is used though,then the trees in villages look like blocky looking object trees AND.... Will remain green looking green!
even if perfect settings are being used!
Be sure to have Perfect settings being used
and make sure forest = 3 is used
hope that helps,if not I will try and help more if I can
BTW
I just used the download provided by Cyberlosa on page one
and the _Tex folder posted by Gumpy
-
Boomer, first of all, thank you for helping.
I've changed my landscape details to Perfect and forest to 3.
I've installed Cyberolas map, changed the lines into:
Tree0 = Trees\AlteredBush8aw.tga
TreeLightMask = Trees\LightM256.tga
After that I've installed Gumpy's Tex folder.
The trees are visible, but green, please tell me what to do next.
-
Ok try to do this>
Download again Cyberlosa's snowy winter map and extract to folder on desktop,notice it extracts as MODS/MapMods/maps etc. etc.
download again Gumpy'S textures and extract to another folder on desktop(it extracts as just _Tex)
cut and paste Gumpy's _Tex folder to where Cyberlosa's _Tex folder is allowing to overwrite the _Tex folder
which would be >
Mods/MapMods/maps (paste Gumpy's _Tex folder into Cyberlosa's maps folder to overwrite the _Tex folder inside Cyberlosa's maps folder
Now,
to be sure you are using his map folder and not some other map folder by accident by having some other map folder load first or whatever>
Inside Cyberlosa's MODS/MapMods/maps folder
you will see his "Ardennes" folder which is the maps actual map folder
rename it to> "ArdennesRRR"
Cut and paste this renamed "ArdennesRRR" and the _Tex folder from Cyberlosa with Gumpy's textures that you have already overwrote into>
IL-2/#DBW/MapMods/maps
open your all.ini in notepad or whatever text editor you use
add at the top of the list just under the [all]
so it looks like below>
[all]
ArdennesRRR ArdennesRRR/sload.ini
ArdennesRRRW ArdennesRRR/wload.ini
save and load your game
open FMB and load the ArdennesRRRW map
you should have snowy trees like I have in my pics I posted above, on Cyberlosa's winter map in DBW 1.71
BTW,you are downloading the correct map I assume>
DOWNLOAD LINK:
https://www.mediafire.com/download/ufm4e8g92igcev7/Ardennes_heavy_snow.7z
-
Boomer, I did precisely as you instructed, but still the trees are green. Do I also have to change the lines in Load.ini as Cyberolas suggested?
P.s. adding the lines also doesn't change anything.
-
yes,only one line needs to changed in the load.ini
Tree0 = Trees\AlteredBush8aw.tga
//Tree0 = Trees/sk_AlteredBush8aw.tga
then your game is NOT using perfect settings
and or your config is NOT using forest = 3
or you have NOT installed it correctly
Or,you have some other mapmods folder loading first
sorry,but it all installed perfectly for me
not sure where your going wrong
now a days,so many different game versions and or installs
numerous mods installed to each persons game
it is almost impossible to troubleshoot these problems
do you have a back up game ? or back up files ?
I installed all this into a "clean" DBW 1.71 that has NOTHING installed into it(as well as my usual modded DBW 1.71)
It works in both versions
it has to be an installing issue
or IL-2/PC set up issue IMHO
It all works fine on DBW 1.71
Keep trying,do like I do re-install DBW to a clean folder somewhere and try and try again until you figure it out
IMHO trying it on an absolutely clean,unadultrated DBW 1.71 would be the only way to go seeing as your having so much trouble
sorry for your luck,but keep trying as it is the only way to learn

Uploaded a resized version and put in the acc. load.ini names. AFAIk you made a slight error in the naming convention of your upload, I may be wrong. :)
If Ara is on Open GL and has Forest=3 and uses the correct load ini it shall work.
If not...relaxing may help- :P
-
Gumpy, yes, I'm sure I'm editing the right file. :)
Tom2, I've just changed the settings you've recommened, after changing LandShading to 3 the winter trees finally turned up.
Cyberolas, Gumpy, Boomer, Tom2, thank you very much for your patience and help. I appreciate it.

Aragorn, with the trees I uplaoded you also get extra detail. ;)

What causes Winter Maps not able to save missions, but Summer Maps do????? Any One?
-
would have to be a missing object that is in the winter actors.static and not in your game
missing objects is the only thing I have ever seen not save missions
whether it is there,but the static info is missing or has been corrupted
or object double foldered or whatever
it is only ever been a missing object of some sort IMHO
Tom2, I've just changed the settings you've recommened, after changing LandShading to 3 the winter trees finally turned up.
Glad to see you got it figured
I also have landshading = 3 in my config
go figure..... :D
wonder why you had some other number there ???

Okay, now thanks to this great forum my tree problem is solved I have another question. Is it possible to make the river frozen? It seems a bit out of tone with the winter conditions around it. I think I need waterice.tga. Can someone help me to get this please?
Yeah I think so,give me a few minutes I'll get back to ya.(UPDATE) Yes totally possible with simple edits to your Ardennes wload ini. (http://i42.tinypic.com/xnbvvt.jpg) (http://i42.tinypic.com/6j3h2h.jpg) (http://i41.tinypic.com/jt9kld.jpg)

Thanks, Gumpy, early morning for me tomorrow, so I won't adjust it today, but first thing when I come home tomorrow evening. You are a gentleman, thank you very much.
-
Gumpy, your screenshot is from mission with date from summer or autumn (I think - in your *****.mis file) - thats why you have strange dark shadows in bumpH textures - only little report from me:):)
Quality of winter shadows depend of day and month in calendar, try to look on it:):) - nothing against yourself.
and don´t you know....this?
buildings.Plate$GroundWinterParkingCorner
buildings.Plate$GroundWinterParkingSide
buildings.Plate$GroundWinterRunway
buildings.Plate$GroundWinterParking
buildings.Plate$GroundWinterTurn
-boys, these files aren´t in stock version???
-
Cyberolas, Im not sure why I didnt have those Files, but on 2 different Winter Maps, I couldnt save missions, and with installing those Files now Both maps work.

They probably are but,if Bravo didn't have those entry's in his STATIC they wouldn't show up.Also the strange dark shadows are I believe from changing the DECLIN = to a lower number,it seems to make lighter colors lighter and dark colors darker.Kinda like adjusting the contrast in a photo using Photoshop. ;)
-
Gumpy, a vast improvement, thank you very much. Another question, the forest seems to reduce to a white blur and some individual trees when flying over low. Can that be changed too?
-
Could you make screenshot?
-
I'm not very good at that sort of thing, Cyberolas. Must be a generation thing (I'm fifty years old, although that doesn't excuse my ignorance), or I'm just underdeveloped in that respect. Can you please tell me how?
-
Its easy - do you fly with 4.12? or 4.12.2? You have folder My_screenshots (or similar name?) in root of il-2. So you have to map some key for screenshots-making and push this key if you fly. So and if you open this folder, screen is there.
After that you choose some site with imagehosting and upload there it. Link you have to write here. Thats all.
-
i am sure he is talking about the alpha-layer forests - in which case nothing can be done about it (yet, afaik)
-
As for screenshots, you can also upload them to a photo storing and editing provider like e.g. photobucket or postimage, it is free..simply need to create an account.
Then the screenshots, which are in newer versions under "IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MyScreenShots" and in older versions right in the game folder, can be uploaded as jpegs...
In photobucket, once chosen and uploaded (need to choose the folder where they are and then select them), you can view them in the library and then with their IMG codes copy them and paste them here e.g.
Not sure if postimage is only German :-\...but it works the same.
There are many of such providers, principle is always the same:
Chose your screenshot, it helps if you have a photo software like the free "IrfanView" installed.
Then copy and paste the shots e.g to your desktop and upload them-if they are in tga format, open them, click "save as" and select a JPEG format, then save. Makes upload speedier.
If you then get the image codes you can copy and paste these to a forum.
Hope that was not too complicated, it is easy once done a single time. ;)
-
Sorry my question, but where do I put the folders Ardennes.BumpH and Winter BumpHs?
would be in this directory: #SAS/MAPMODS/MAPS/_Tex/East/Ardennes ?
is the correct directory? :-\
Thank you!
-
Yes Sir. ;)
-
thank you very much ;D
-
Look -il-2 engine search BumpH files in the same directory like original textures, so:
Ardennes BumpH to Ardennes
Ardennes winter BumpH to Ardennes winter
Kursk BumpH to Kursk directory and so one and so one :)
-
I want to show you differences depend on date of mission in .mis file.
Look - first image is mission with wrong date - 15th July. Cloudtype=3

Good months for winter are - October, November, December and January. Surprisingly February isn´t good month for winter BumpH textures. Thats all.
-
very good, thank you! :D
-
second image is mission with good date - 15th November 1940. Cloudtype=3
do not quote pics please!

This is IL2, you can even fly a Space Battleship in 1940
-
Everything installed successfully!
Thanks Cyberolas, Bravo, Tom2 and everyone who helped me by answering my questions ;)
-
Awesome Cad, way to go my Friend.
-
To Able-dog: Noooooooo, year isn´t important - I showed pics, what are about MONTHS
Rennier - I wish you many experiences with flying in there!
-
Yes, I realized the difference in months, fantastic! ;)
I'm already flying on your map.
Thank you very much, cyberolas! ;D
-

Cyberolas, Tom, Malone, yes, after some more reading at this forum I found out that this is all we have at the moment. Not very disturbing since it is only background and it is okay unless you fly over really low. Sorry for my late reply, but these are busy days. :)
-
That´s ok Aragorn :)
-
Any chance to have Stalingrad in a future?
-
Don´t you look forward to Battle of Stalingrad by 777? :) It will come in future, maybe very near future:)

Wow Cyberolas you are one very talented guy! Not only do you make super realistic maps – your videos are very artistic as well. 8)
Really looking forward to your next project – been about 6 mths now, since your last! ;)
-

I don't have neither the hardware to run that beast nor the money to afford it.
-
Ok, so look at my video and look forward to il-2 1946 MODS version:)
-
Cyberolas I like what you are hinting at :)
-
Be patient, I have only 35% of work:)
-
Cyberolas, this is exiting, thank you for your love to work on our Maps.

Hmmm, good job - this brighter version. But -
1.I don´t use 2048 pixels. I talked with DT and they said - this is road to hell, because basic il-engin isn´t made for it.
2.I used more contrastic parts textures (or darker) with trees and villages, because when you have so bright white in textures, you can see very well terrible il-effect with step-viewing of objects (I think you know what I mean). I did many experiments with it. But - if you saw some flying video from winter - you could see very dark woods and trees...., couldn´t you?
Sorry for this late reply, just saw it.
1. Scale of the textures has nothing to do with game's engine. Has more to do with graphic card memory and its rendering on the screen. Even in default unmoded IL2 you can have BumpH textures in the scale up to 4096px.
2. Brightens of the color textures is not so important, it is more important how you make BumpH textures for them. Because BumpH textures gives them detailing and shadowing/contrast. You can even have color (rgb) texture in only one flat dull color in size lets say 32x32px and it can look great if you have properly made BumpH texture for it. What is more important that brightens, just for the example, is to have all of your color textures set at the same color tone, so that there is no big difference among them.
On the end if you are not satisfied with the colors and brightens you can fine tune them in LandLight.mat file, which you can set just for your particular map.
Like this:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,12508.0.html
What DT said could be applicable if you are playing IL2 in the mode which is less then "Perfect" ("excellent" or below), but who plays it like that nowadays . . . Also DT is obliged to make content with the respect to the original IL2 engine, its specifications and rules. The problem is that those rules and specifications are now unfortunately some 12 years old, and we now know that those are obsolete and that IL2 engine can go beyond them.
Great map BTW ;D
Wish you all the best, New years, Christmas . . . all of that :)

Very good words.

Hello! Nice map, this is the first modded map (besides the mod packs) that i install and just tested and its amazing! just two questions:
1. Whats the difference between the two maps? (ardenes and ardenes heavy winter) --> besides the obvious i mean wich is more complete? because on the "original" you put two textures 1 for winter and 1 for summer, whats the difference between those two textures?
2.does the heavy map has the luftwaffe hangars?
Its my first manual install so i'm very confused.
PS: Patienless await for your stalingrad map! Just checked the post and looks amazing!
Cheers..
-
Hi bandongogogo!
Heavy snow version is more historical, because december 1944 was really hard winter, so these textures are more snowy. And next thing: I canceled all MOD objects in this version, because from time to time pilots wrote me about problems with saving missions and so one. Thats why they had?t install MOD objects. Stalingrad will by without MOD objects too. Thank you for your patience.

Oh! ok so heavy snow it is! You're very talented! keep the good work and thanks for the maps!
Ps: I LOVE how the towns look now! so realistic!

Hallo again!
Well i use DBW + TFM and i realized (by installing the Kuban map) that in the NEW TFM there are already some of your maps, so i would like to know wich maps are in the New TFM (ver 37) so i dont have to install them again (hopefully reducing mod soup and avoiding bugs, problems ctd and stuff like that)
Ps: i installed Kursk map but i dont find it in the QMB, what can i do to fix it?
Ps 2: The New TFM comes with a ridiculously big amount of static objects, i think it comes with some (hopefully all) of the hangars (and other static objects) i saw in the kursk map, is it true? am i hallucinating?
-
Hell o!
I don´t know what is TFM, I use only stock version 4.12.1 with SAS MOD activator. And your second question - yes, in Kursk map and Prokhorovka and so one you can see some hangars from MODS objects - you have NOT hallucionation ;D ;D ;D
-

The New Full Monty, a mod compilation (huge mod compilation) by Monty for the DBW 1.71, it includes lots of maps frrom many modders. =)
Ps: just did a 64 plane battle on ardennes.. it was epic!!! FW-190 and 109 vs p 47 and p 51 (more classic and i would be bleeding)
-
installed this version and its awesome! thanks a million!
running 4.12.2 Modact etc..
-
On the matter of the DECLIN parameter in load.ini...
This is "declination", or latitude, in degrees. It determines the sun's track across the sky, and hence its altitude above the horizon on a given date/time. It's obviously unrealistic to give a mid-northern map a value of 10 (which would put it in the tropics) when it should be nearer to 45.

They are already in HSFX. Look under 'Western Front' for 'Ardennes RRR'.

With 4.12.2 and HSFX 7.02 you should be seeing this - without the red bits.

Have you installed another map and overwritten the all.ini?
:cheers:
-
My map don't look anything like yours, mines are already expanded, and I haven't installed any maps or knowingly overwritten the all.ini. All my maps in the FMB are shown like the right hand column in your pic. I don't have anything that says "Western_Front"39_Maps. TC
-
I Found he problem, I had activated the Map Slovakia 1955 in the JSGME and that changed my map layout in FMB. Your question about if I added any maps was the clue. Thanks TC
-
Got the map display showing correctly in FMB but the Ardennes Winter RRR (Cyberolas) does not show the Summer RRR by Cyberolas shows but not the winter RRR, the regular Winter Ardennes map show also but Cyberolas Winter RRR doesn't, I don't know how to post a screen shot so here's the log file. Can someone take a look and see what I need to do to correct this. Thanks TC

You appear to be missing, or have a corrupted, stock texture: 'MAPS/_Tex/forest/winter/sk_wforestfar.tga'. I've no idea why you should - it's not anything added with HSFX as far as I can see. Disable HSFX with JSGME and see if you can open the 'Slovakia Winter' map in the stock game.
:cheers:

Something definitely gone wrong with your game installation. Might be a case for re-installing (hopefully just a patch)?
Anyone know which patch the Slovakia maps came with?

I'm running the same install the rest of my group is running, and we all have the same problem with the Slovakia and Ardennes Winter maps, maybe it's a bad download or a bad package we used, I tend to think there may have been a corrupt file in the package we all used I can't believe it's a bad download for 9 different members. Also is there any way this can be repaired without having to do a complete re-install? TC
-
Slovakia was in 4.09.
-
Well done, I guess it could be used for 1940 campaigns too.
-
I installed the mod, and only the winter map came up in QMB. Btw, the winter map looks incredible! But is there any way for me to get the summer map to show up in QMB? I have 4.12.2 Modact 5.3 with MissionPro Combo activated if that helps.
-
Ok Benny - step no.1:
open your FMB editor, chose Ardennes summer map and put Shift+TAB. You will see lines with error reports. Something like "this and this texture not fined" or similar. Try to do it and write us it here.

There was so much i had to take a picture of it, it wouldnt let me take a screenshot or copy it. And apparently its upside down, sorry for the inconvenience.
-
Hm, I can´t see any error report to map. Can you open Ardennes summer in FMB? Or have you got problem only in QMB?

Hmm. How do I successfully install the hangars? I tried to put them into SAS folder and added the lines but nothing happened. My German airfield is empty.

I made a set of BumpH files for the Ardennes Summer map which look less bumped/ less crispy than the ones in the download link in the first post.
This version is more subtle and softer. Instead of keeping them just on my hard disc here is the d/l link:
https://www.mediafire.com/?sjxld1a2hwv2gu4 (https://www.mediafire.com/?sjxld1a2hwv2gu4)
Drop these files in MapMods/maps/_Tex/East/Ardennes. In case you have already installed hguderian's version let these files overwrite them.
In case you don't like my version you can always use again the ones offered by hguderian in the first post.

Very nice, thanks Uufflakke
-
Uufflakke, this is wonderfull!!!. When I saw first version, I had wrong opinion to BumpH files (I didn´t like it) and i changed it very slowly. This BumpH is the right for Ardennes map!
-
Thank you UUff!
-
Many thanks Uufflakke! 8)
-
Thanks Uufflakke!
I'll test them in my project....
....I noticed that the Guderian bumps are 4mb while your 1mb , can I ask if is the size or the colours the difference?
All the best!

....I noticed that the Guderian bumps are 4mb while your 1mb , can I ask if is the size or the colours the difference?
HGuderian's BumpH files are 2048x2048 size, mine are 1024x1024 size.
It is said that 2048 size BumpH files give a better result on regular 1024 size textures.
To be honest, I have never noticed that.
Note that 2048 size BumpH files can be used without Carsmaster's HighRez mod installed. In contrast to high resolution textures, they only work with his mod.
By the way, BumpH files for Ardennes Winter map (Heavy Snow version) are on it's way. ;)
-
Thanks mate for your reply!
Looking forward to the winter bumps....
All the very best!

Very very nice.
Just a suggestion but can the bridges be "weathered" also. They look so "clean". ;)
-
:-*.....Many thanks...

Your map texturing is truly art Cyberolas!
I noticed that in one of the screenshots in this thread , the rivers are not frozen. My version of your Ardennes has frozen water , and I would prefer that the rivers were water rather than ice. Is there a simple way of achieving this?
I thought I could achieve this in my old 4.09 mod version , but now I fly HSFX almost exclusively , and I don't have a handle on modding this pack - and because I fly mostly online now , I don't want to risk upsetting my own applecart.
Advice appreciated.
Love your work.

@Kopfdorfer:
In winter load.ini (wload) the entries in Worldpos should be:
[WORLDPOS]
CAMOUFLAGE = winter
MONTH=12
DECLIN = 50
PRESSURE = 745
TEMPERATURE = 1
to get animated water. With temperature below 0 degrees ice is on rivers.
Possibly you edited the entries and forgot about it?
I also remember vaguely that there were conflicts when having the Variable Temperature mod installed.
By the way, in post #281 there is a solution to a reverse request: getting ice instead of water.
Perhaps there is some useful info in it. ;)
-
I've tested loadw.ini to get correct settings for winter trees and frozen water, using info from post #242 and #281. Both have errors in them and don't work correctly.
The code below you can copy/paste in your loadw.ini. I used the stalingrad load.ini for winter data.

Now all trees should have snow on them.
Furthermore I recommend making a seperate 'landlight.mat' specific for winter maps. Snow reflects very well, and you can use this new 'landlight.mat' to make it bright white.

How do you make own slot in all.ini. for this map , want to add to vp modpack and use both versions
-
Got a question on BumpH files, what are they and what do they do?
-
I've tested loadw.ini to get correct settings for winter trees and frozen water, using info from post #242 and #281. Both have errors in them and don't work correctly......

Have you experimented with the landlight.mat file? If so, is there any advice you can give?

A little late on the answers, but as they say, better late than never. ;)
About BumpH files...
They are greyscale textures that overlay the underlying texture for a map or an object. They are designed at be a kind of 'topographic map' of the surface, where darker parts are low and lighter parts are high. The game engine then applies local brightening and dimming based on the direction and angular elevation of the light source, so as to create the illusion of bumps and hollows.

About Landlight.mat files...
They control the degree to which an illuminated surface responds to a light source (Sun and Moon), and the degree of reflectance. The relevant parameters are Ambient and Diffuse, respectively. The higher is Ambient, the stronger the difference of illumination between lit and unlit. The higher is Diffuse, the more brightly reflective a surface under given illumination. The default values for both are "1.0".
The same treatment applies for object textures, where their .mat files define Ambient and Diffuse values.
When altering values, take into account the maximum elevation of the Sun, which depends on the load.ini parameters DECLIN and MONTH. The former sets the latitude for the map; smaller DECLIN sets a lower latitude, where the Sun rides higher at midday. The latter also controls the Sun's maximum altude, being lowest in December and highest in June (for the northern hemisphere). If, for example, Diffuse is set well above 1.0 and it works well for a certain map, for another map where DECLIN is lower and/or MONTH has the Sun higher, the higher Sun would result in extra brilliance of landscape reflectance, likely necessitating a lowering of the value for Diffuse.
And so each map could have its own custom Landlight.mat file assigned, named or located in a folder as apporopriate.
