desert models needed

Post by carlinho »

wasssup
I'm thinking in doing some desert maps for the Greek tagset
greeks invading asia....

anyone knows maps with models for desert towns/cities/ any model that could fit desert at all?

and if anyone knows a cool desert map for pitched battles also...

of course I would need permission to use so if you know the authors let me know who they are

thanks a lot!! :wink:

Graydon had a couple of maps that were Egypt themed, might want to check those - I can't recall if they had custom models or not - I think at least one of them had a temple/pyramid structure. Actually I am not which of these links have models or which have scenery, but they all have some desert stuff you might be able to use/adapt.

Also, Jinn is a deserty world, probably has some models you could use as is or adapt (maybe a new skin?) if they aren't Egyptian looking enough for you.

One more source might be the Green Berets M2 conversion, it's set in SouthEast Asia but has a lot of custom models.

Maps I can think of that are deserty but which I can't recall whether they have custom models would be... some of the Year of Burning Stone levels, Ephor of Myrgard, The Fall of Naugrim has a desert temple which I vaguely recall, Wasteland Arena has some deserty models - at least a stone pilings (rough column) tho probably not Egyptian enough for your project.

Also in The Pope's Scenery Pack #1 there is a desert column.

I don't know for sure where Naugrim and Wasteland might be, I would look on Udogs HL (Naugrim is a solo, Wasteland is a ffa). If you can't find them there, send me a PM and I can send you zips if you want - I am sure I have them on my home computer or burned on a CD somewhere.

thanks vinyl!
I'll check it out.
I did a desrt colourmap yesterday, looked amazing in photoshop, then indexed it and crap...

over the years I keep having a ton of problems doing maps when I get to it after some time off, as I tend to forget how crappy my textures are

I have tons of textures that look amazing in high res, but when sized for myth and indexed they turn crap
anyone has some nice desert, grass, water textures out there?
would love to get my hand on some already mythed ones...
:?
EDIT: i played again with it and made it much better, but still I bet there's ton of mythed textures out there sitting on a server I could use...

by the way, thanks Myrd for uploading year of the burning stone!
I got some nice ideas out of playing it!!!
