  Hi pilots!

  Another year is over and I´m going to come to you with next map re-painting.
I´ve retextured the Smolensk map with photographic textures.
I was inspecting luftwaffe photos from years 1941-44 and I made a few adjustments in this map, specially for Vitebsk and Orsha. I used authentic textures from Smolensk area and they are really similar with old fields shapes from luftwaffe photos.

So - Enjoy it!

Besides the look of Smolensk has changed considerably now (in a positive way) I still can use the old quick missions.  :)
Which means that roads and railways etc. are still in the same position. Which is a good thing though.

To my feeling the navigation map is a bit too saturated so I decided to change it.
(Desaturated and with folded paper overlay.)

I checked and the roads, cities, villages and airfields seem to be on the same locations so the navmap is usable.

Forgot to say thanks for the map, your work is much appreciated on the stock maps. :)

Thank you very much for another essentially improved stock map, the flight over the terrain is now very impressive.
Perhaps the same textures might be used for Belarus, too ? Would you allow me to use them (if I shall have time to do so, LOL)?
I have just a question : are the Boguszev AF runways concrete  , and those north of Smolensk being now grass ones, historically correct ?

BTW also a great map to be used for Mig-17s/21s.

You can also simply add concrete as mission addition, one mod (forgot which modder made it) includes a huge nice "Korean style" black runway plate.

Post by: Zoran395 on January 01, 2016, 06:07:43 PM
I tried your map last night and I must say I was humbled ...  :P

I got IL-2 in 2002 because it had a red star on the cover and ever since IL-2 means Eastern Front for me.
By getting the RRR treatment to the Smolensk map you really keep what I consider the game core alive.

I got the map bug last August when I just wanted to fix some trees in rivers. Since then I have been principally map building.

After all these hours, I get an idea of the skills required to pick/create/amend the textures, choose objects which will allow for smooth transitions between the core of the city to the countryside.

Of course you know all this and put it in practice masterfully! A mega bravo to you !!!

The more I use the map the more I am amazed by the detail like the waves in the rivers.
Title: Re: Smolensk - retextured, retowned, revillaged
Post by: cyberolas on January 02, 2016, 12:18:42 AM
Mr.Zoran: Yes, this was the main reason why I started with work on mapmods - I hated default hard transition between towns/villages and fields. Only Slovakia map looks fine, if we talk about stock maps. Thank you for your screenshot!
Mr.Bobbo: waves in rivers are really random. I don´t know rules for waves in rivers without sea area, its really random. When I have a big place with sea, there isn´t problem, but here isnt it. So - I have no mastery over it

The only thing that bugged me is the castle. Not only on this map but basically on every repainted map.
Since we have much better ground textures than the yellowish default ones it is about time to redo the good old Caen Castle.
I repainted the castle so colours matches better with its surrounding. Not only on this map but also on other ones.

OK, I do´nt use any MOD pack for buldings, because many pilots have problems with  modpacks, adding to static.ini and so one. Crima houses are generally uses buildings and you can see them in many maps. They are little and you can see them from middle altitude.
Title: Re: Smolensk - retextured, retowned, revillaged
Post by: cyberolas on January 09, 2016, 06:18:22 AM
These objects are too litle and dark, you can see them only from veeery little altitude..."Crimea" universal objects are compromise by my opinion:)

Post by: CzechTexan on January 09, 2016, 07:52:36 AM
I was just reading yesterday about a German's description of the Smolensk region and he noted that there were adobe (crimea style mud-packed earth) as well as log houses in this part of Russia.  I think Cyberolas use of Crimea houses is a good choice. 

I love this Smolensk and the Stalingrad repaints!  Great additions to IL2!  Could these textures also be used for Kursk, Prokhorovka, and Kuban?  Or are they too specific for only Smolensk region?

Why Smolensk.txt file is not in latin alphabet, please ?
Not everybody can read russian alphabet here.

Sorry about problem with CaenCastle winter vers, mates, there is incorrect working of my Notepad: after click to Change All  some scripts doesn't changes to new ( & apologize, am not recheck it before converting to binary format). So, here is a new actors in FixWinActSMLNSK.zip, check it, please:http://forum.aviaskins.com/showpost.php?p=149712&postcount=357 (http://forum.aviaskins.com/showpost.php?p=149712&postcount=357)
Do not use Notepad, use Zuti's actors management tool instead.

Ok, where to begin???

I see you are here (At SAS) for almost a year. Welcome aboard!

P.S.: Capital letter are not a problem in and of themselves, but try to avoid yelling in the forums. (ALL CAPS, and angry emotes?) While I understand you were trying to impart urgency because you are stuck, it can be taken as rude. Many of us are more than willing to help with these small issues, but it takes time. Describe a problem in depth, and perhaps someone will come along and see it who may have an answer.

- - - - - - On to your problem - - - - - -



I assume from what i can tell in your description that you can't get Cyberolas' Smolensk to load at all. I will operate from this assumption. Please forgive if i misunderstood you.

If you need help with the WINTER update seen just before, i have not attempted it myself. 

Please also forgive me if I go a bit in-depth. It is only to be clear since I am not adding pics. However, a basic understanding of how the game's folder and file structures work would be very beneficial if you plan to add a lot of mods.

- - - - - - - - - -

So, this map is one of the easiest installs you will ever do. It is a re-texture of the stock, with no new stationary items needed. This means it will run on ANY game install! Which is epic.

This mod comes conveniently packed, ready to install as is.

- - - - - - - - - -

When you first download the original file from post #1, you will receive an RAR zipped file, with a folder inside named MODS.

This folder MODS is representative of ANY mod folder in ANY game type. In my game, the MODS folder is #SAS, in UltraPack type games it would be #UP#, etc. etc.

Open the MODS folder that came with your Download, it will contain a folder named MAPMODS.

Do not open this MAPMODS folder.

Now, open your games main folder, at its home location. My game lives on my desktop in a folder named "IL-2_Korea".

Inside of this is the primary IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 folder which houses my game.

Open your IL-2 Sturmovik 1946 folder, so that you can see all of its folders and files inside. The very first folder on top should be your MODS folder, again, #SAS in my case. Do not open your games MODS folder.


Now, this is the crucial part:


DRAG the MAPMODS folder from the downloaded RAR file onto your games MODS folder.

Allow to overwrite all when prompted. If you are NOT prompted, then you did it wrong. It will place all of the files, and folders in their proper places. This is because Cyberolas has done all the hard work and packed it just right for you!

Run your game and open the FMB, to view and use Cyberolas' EPIC handiwork!



Have fun!



P.P.S.: I will try to add the Winter version ASAP, maybe tomorrow. It will be more complicated.

@cheech420: If you want this Winter version also, please PM me. I'll help you if I'm able.

Take care.

No need to appologize, good luck with your install!

Cyberolas' maps are among the finest repaints available, and every one of them is well worth the headache. Stalingrad day version and Burma are perhaps my favorites.

If you need help further please feel welcome to ask.

His repaints are the easiest map installs there are. No headache.  ;)
No hassle around with dropping new objects in subfolders and no new entries in static.ini file since he uses stock objects from default V4.09.
And all his textures per map are collected in one folder.


@cheech420,
-Drop the downloaded folder 'East' in your modded installation in a folder named '_Tex'.
(_Tex is located: the mods folder in your modded install/mapmods/maps/_Tex)

-Drop the downloaded folder 'Smolensk' in your modded installation in a folder named 'maps'.
(maps is located: the mods folder in your modded install/mapmods/maps)

-Start up game and... play!  :)

P-40 is historicaly incorrect, but I can remember when I´ve flew some campaign for P-40 over Malaya (very good campaign), and the last mission started a few meters over Singapore town (air start). One second to dogfight! Ki-43 were everywhere and it was really hard...I have to find it...I like it.

Thank you for you map! May be it is first time, when I see the real railway station in Il-2! Fields nice. Cities are really looks like on old fotos! You deleted some non realistic rivers. And made quick missions! Great! And I want note easy and correct installation. And small volume of megabytes.
