Thx KingLeerUK!

Notes:
- I know only a very few things about the sandbox2 editor, but I tried to make a fun map, which has good overall feeling
- The maps are simple with only a few visual effects, and probably don't reach the level of complexity of other communitiy maps
- No dynamic time of day effects
- The maps have no artifical choke points atm, and can provide lot of cover
- TSA_Forsaken: inspired by Mechwarrior 2 (and by Dark Reign intro ), and made fully in the editor
- TSA_Badlands: the heightmap made in Geocontrol2 demo, then I modified it in the editor
- Size of maps: 4x4 km
- Watch your step on the edges of the maps! There are forbidden areas, not visible on the minimap.




Enjoy!
Every feedback/idea/advice is appriciated!

See you in combat!

These look very nice, I'll see if we can get them up on Arc Royal and get some action going!!

Got them updated on both my webserver and the Mechwars servers.

Cool. I'm very curious how you created those stones. Were they a mix of vegetation or are they a texture or are they an entity?

Parallax maps. Like normal maps, but with occlusion.

I got to play these maps last weekend with ELH, Badlands was a lot of fun. It might be nice if it had more varied terrain instead of the same type of little hills all over the entire map though, I don't know. Hopefully these get put on MWLLMaps soon so we can use the autodownloader.

What others said. About the texture itself: Nothing special, only the cliffs_brown.dds texture layer combined with the river_rocks_3d_offset material 

It might be nice if it had more varied terrain instead of the same type of little hills all over the entire map though, I don't know.

Indeed, the map could use some more variety. I'll see what can I do

Thank you very much for investing so much time, Ivaan! I think we gout about 30hours of fun out of the maps today (counting all the players , i really liked the kind of games the maps seem to channel.

I'll attach the screenshot of the hole on Forsaken. I am directly looking at the hole, the 'Mech that got stuck inside earlier isn't on the picture (somebody shot it).
