It's hard to find decent references for them, but here are a few from Band of Brothers that are accurate to how they actually looked.

The terrain overall is still pretty untouched. I guess it will be one of the last things I'll address since it's less important than finishing all the buildings.

Thanks, Radu. The haystacks will remain, but I need to remake them so they look better. I wasn't very clear about that

I've gone back to the building I showed in the first screenshot and reworked it completely.

For those interested, I was inspired heavily by Ferme Hougoumont (from the battle of Waterloo) for the new look

Don't mind the haystacks btw. They're placeholders until I come up with something better looking.

So I moved assets(materials and models) from insurgency and csgo by GCFscape(extracting vpk files and moving them to /doi/custom folder) . Now at the time of uploading my map do I have to do any additional thing ? Do I have to pack that models and materials? If yes then how can I do this? If someone can provide link/guide for packing stuff it would be great.

You need to pack any additional content that doesn't come with DoI by default. You can use Pakrat to do this.

Great work!

While the overall mood seems nice the colors almost looks like a weird mixture of grayscale and sepia.

Very nice, Terri! The foliage on top of the walls is a nice touch

A minor thing, I'd replace the "inside" of the broken walls with a more fitting texture.

Have any of you ever thought on creating some video tutorials or something like that, explaining how you achieve these kind of results on Source?

Patreon, Gumroad? I'd pay for that.

@Squad It goes for you as well.

Never really considered that. I might do something similar like what LizardPL said and/or release the vmf if anyone is interested. Thanks for taking an interest btw

If it wasn't someone from NWI, then could we perhaps get someone from NWI to state whether or not we can use assets from Valve games?

Might be an legal issue (correct me if I'm wrong here) if one were to win money from a level that uses assets from Valve games, and it wasn't approved by Valve.

I believe it was @Jonny Phive from NWI who said that.

And thanks for the answers @Xanthi

Thanks, man!

The church is based on the actual church as a matter of fact

Also, since a week or so I've had a bunch of models showing like an Error in Hammer (they get deleted during compile). They worked fine before. Have they been removed from the game or is something wrong on my end? They're still listed inside the model browser though.

Are respawns disabled for the defending team while it's active? I'm not sure if I need a spawn point further back behind the radio once it's active or if surviving players already spawned on it just have to stay alive.

When the attacking team captures the last objective (usually C), the defending team's waves are reset to 0. Then the attacking team wins if they can either destroy the radio or eliminate all remaining ennemies.

I have a question as well: does DoI support 3-way blend materials?

Water in Source is a bitch It's possible to fake it though, as I did in Zoo. I'd have to look at the vmf again to see how it's done, let me know if you're interested.

I haven't picked up a Battlefield game since 2010, but I'm tempted to get this one. The premium pass confuses me though. What should I buy if I want all the gameplay-related stuff like maps, available weapons etc (not interested in things like character skins etc)?

@Vaya also poked me couple of weeks ago about resuming and finishing the article, so thanks for that too

This could come in handy

Nice atmosphere, especially in the first picture

Be aware there's only about 5 weeks left for the competition to finish something. Good luck!

In Belgium, each village, no matter how small, is supposed to have a church and a cafe. So here are some wip shots of their interiors
