    Aachen is based in a large city where you have large structures that block visibility, so the Z Clip Plane can be used beyond that. If that is not what you mean, then I don't think I know what you're talking about exactly. Please fill me in :) For your notice, Foy features some large open terrain.

Then use that colour for your fog, and mess around with max density of the fog. Me personally I find with blending disabled, max density .3, no angles used, 400 start 4500 end, that is usually my baseline to start tweaking.

    I know you want a foggy look, and grey is the intuitive colour, but it is more convincing when the colour of the fog blends into the horizon. In real life fog takes on the colour of everything else in the environment due to reflected colours refracting and diffusing into the air.

    I didn't pick grey fog because it's intuitive. The current fog color pretty much matches (still have to tweak it a tiny bit) the one of the skybox (see the 2nd pic in this topic). I'm also using far Z Clip Plane, so max density has to be 1 :)

    Thanks, Daruth505!

    The lighting is still placeholder for now. I was going for a foggy look at the moment the sun is just breaking through. Not sure if I can pull that off, but we will see.

    Here's another WIP shot of one of the main streets of the village. Don't pay attention to the lighting errors on some of the buildings please :)

    I was setting up the gameplay logic yesterday and noticed that my game ended after capturing the last base since there weren't any enemies left. Make sure that you still have hostile bots against you after capturing the last base. Then you should be able to destroy the radio. Oh, and in case you are not aware of it: The radio can only be destroyed after all bases are captured!

    The game ends when all remaining ennemies are eliminated after capturing the 3rd objective.

    I'm aware all objectives need to be captured to be able to destroy the radio :)

    I have a few questions regarding settings things up.

    The latest update made it possible to set a max viewing distance for bots, but I'm not sure how exactly to configure it.

    Quote [*] Added AI mapscript entry “max_vision_range” for overriding bot vision distance to fine-tune their vision behavior in maps that use fog. [/list]

    Do we add this line in the mapname.txt file in /maps?


    I'm adding the Offensive gamemode to my map and so far everything is functional except for the last objective, the radio. It shows up ingame, but I'm not able to destroy it.

    Here is how the offensive gamemode is configured in the .txt file. I copied the part about the radio objective from an official map that has Allies as the attacking team as well.

    I'm guessing it's related to the "teamnumber" parameter, but I'm unsure about the possible values for it.

    Quote

    Quote "offensive" { "TeamOne" "americans" "TeamTwo" "axis" "AttackingTeam" "TEAM_ONE" "controlpoint" "cp_liberation_a" "controlpoint" "cp_liberation_b" "controlpoint" "cp_liberation_c" "controlpoint" "radiopoint_axis_final" "spawnzones" { "disablespawns" "1" "0" "spawnzone_offensive_a" "1" "spawnzone_offensive_b" "2" "spawnzone_offensive_c" }

    "entities" { // Radio point "obj_destructible" { "origin" "256 4224 40" "angles" "0 90 0" "targetname" "radio_axis_final" "teamnumber" "3" "ControlPoint" "radiopoint_axis_final" } "point_controlpoint" { "origin" "256 4224 64" "angles" "0 90 0" "targetname" "radiopoint_final" "printname" "#CP_AxisRadio" } } }

    }

    Thanks in advance!

    But seriously though, even with this early WIP pic, I can foresee the map turning into great shape and atmosphere based on this single house. It just feels right to look at it :)

    Best of luck

    Thanks, mate :)

    So here's my attempt for the contest. I hope I can finish it in time :)

    Theme

    It's set in and around the small village of Foy (Belgium), which was part of the Battle of the Bulge.

    From wikipedia:

    Layout

    I have a rough idea of what I want to make, but I'm still in the blocking out phase. The general idea is that the Allies begin their attack from the surrounding forest (Bois-Jaques).

    Gameplay will vary between wide-open and door-to-door combat.


    Not much to show yet, but can't start a topic without at least a single picture :)

    Never bought one before, so I'm a bit of a dummy on the whole matter.

    Basically, what I'm looking for is an Iphone SE 64 GB, but from a brand that doesn't let you pay a shitload extra money because it has a certain fruit logo on it.

    I wanted to go for the Samsung Galaxy S mini instead, but apparantly they don't make (and sell) these anymore. So I'm wondering if there is an alternative to it.

    Basic requirements:

    - not a phablet (screensize not bigger than around 5")

    - more than 16 GB storage

    - additional storage with SD cards (depends on the former requirement though)

    - relatively powerfull (I tend to keep open a lot of apps/webpages/etc at once)

    - decent main camera (not interested in a selfie-camera)

    - GPS

    - something that is a bit sturdy (optional, since I plan to buy a shockproof case/screen protector anyway).


    I think that's it in a nutshell :)

It runs Android Marshmallow 6 which is the most recent I think. I've tried it with the latest games it's pretty good but the GPS and VR are not that great. It does get rather hot after alot of use but not sun-level stuff.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I'll look into them.
