It helps when you are trying to plan an infantry advance.

Thanks

You open Map Maker, select a scale, import a height map, import a terrain map, modify the terrain map in an editor program like Photo Shop or MS Paint, add the structures you want and then save it.

Once the map has been saved it will ask if you want to view it in the Scene Editor. Saying yes takes the map to another editor. One where you can view the map as it will appear in the game and where you can make fine tuning adjustments to anything you have placed on the map.

This is a very powerful tool. As just one small example, it allows you to place smoke coming out of a chimney. In MM I just put the smoke on the map. In the Scene Editor I place it at the top of the building coming out of the chimney.

Here is what the map for HSG Urrah looks like in the Scene Editor. It is very evident the texture layers as well as where each tree and building are and their orientation on the map.

Good Hunting.

MR

Status: offline 		There is a map included inside the game. This shows several things, such as victory locations, victory location ownership, the kind of terrain in the area, where your units are, where known enemy units are.

Even though the map is small it's color coded to help with terrain recognition. Orange is brush, pink is bog, dark green is heavy woods, lighter green is lighter woods, olive drab is plowed fields, etc....... German forces are in light blue, Soviet forces are in red.

Good Hunting.

Pretty cool rendering. I remember ASL had some of these monsters in their inventory. Essentially they had covered arcs everywhere, but a well-placed 37mm AT round would generally be the death of them. Nice modeling.

Thanks,
There is another model, a T-28E, which has more armor and a little better main gun. As the minor turrets are only armed with DP machineguns they only contribute to a total MG firepower.

Status: offline 		The product page tells, there is a medium and hight texture detail mode, dependent upon GFX memory. Can you make some comparing shots? I´ve currently a 128 MB GFX, but intend to buy a 512 MB one next year.

Status: offline 		RH a screenshot becomes a bmp which is then turned in to a crappy jpeg to post in the forum. You can't really tell from forum shots what it looks like at your house.

I had a ATI Radeon 7000 64mb AGP card up until a few months ago and ran the game on medium settings. On low, close up, things were pixelated. FPS was in the 2-5 range. On high, things didn't look better than medium to me. I now have an integrated ATI 4200 set at 256 and run on high. It looks about the same to me. Obviously I don't know what to look for. This is all on a CRT. Also AA and AF at 0. I would rather have speed than looks.

The main concern is CPU and RAM with large forces on detailed maps.

First you have to have a leader that is in radio contact. If the star by his icon in the HUD is green he can call for Off Map Artillery.

Good Luck stopping that combination. That should prove for some interesting what if scenarios before long.
