PMC Tactical forums

I was flying the other night in Iran theater and noticed there are no borders, airbases, etc., identified on the kneemap. If anyone with the proper skills would like to edit the kneemap and add these necessary items just post here or pm me. Personally, I'd like it to closely resemble the AF version of the kneemap for the Korea and Balkans theaters but that's just because I am an AF "fanboi". (according to Mower).

I can do that for you. Post or PM me the existing kneemap and specify the max size of the new kneemap.

Ted,
I MAY be pushing this a little. But,are you almost done with IT02??? If so,I would REALLY like it if you took a look at IRAN.
I think there are only 126 Set's and out of them MAYBE 100 Tile's,mostly Transition's that need to be done.
Please,let me know if your interested.I know that Ranger can tire most people out!!!!HAHAHA!!

Well the "take a look at Iran" is wrong term in the sense... before even ITO2 there was ODS tiles (check some old topics here, you'll find them interesting), so the tiles were going to use for Iran is ODS copys.

Dunno if Sherlock wants to make some new ones for the region boundary outside of ODS area, then fine, I'm ready to add new tile-sets, if there is someone to make new tiles.

However in a nutshell; all new tile work goes for ODS which is copied to Iran at the same time.

Okay......Didn't mean to rile you up, But, the PCX Texture.zip that come's with IRAN is a Tenth of the size of ODS.
As well, some of the Tile Pallette's are not right. You know that there is one Bridge Tile that is incorrect.
I HAVE put the ODS ~282k Texture's into Iran FF5.Lot's of Swam and etc.!!!!!!!!H#ll,I rebuilt the Whole Theater with them 10x's in the last two week's!!!!
IMHO'...don't think you need all the ODS Tile's in IRAN.You are almost there, save some transition tile's and maybe some HCost tile's.
If somebody want's to contribute.So be it, I would think??
When I took a first look at Iran tex.bin\.thr in Pathmaker they seemed OK.But,when I went further into the .thr and .cam file's ..not so good for FF.

Hope you can understand what I am saying!!!!!

Subject here is request for kneepad map.
Here what I can offer (and consider this one done and ready). Here sample:

I believe that max kneepad map is 2048x2048 which is good for the one above but way below for this one which I have full ME (Middle East) . Here is just sample again:

Can we dream to have unlimited size of kneepad?

No worries, you didn't.

Yes, because we did not want to add the full size texture.zip for the early versions of Iran. Current texture.zip contains 128x128 resolution tiles.

Scary thing is, most people wont know the difference hehe, surely we wold timers see instantly that the tiles are more blend and lack the crisp details, but joe users out there have no clue heh.

When Iran theater gets newer versions, we'll add the full sized 512 res texture.zip into it.

As well, some of the Tile Pallette's are not right.

That inherits from ODS, what problems you got in Iran, you got them in ODS too.

I HAVE put the ODS ~282k Texture's into Iran FF5.Lot's of Swam and etc.!!!!!!!!H#ll,I rebuilt the Whole Theater with them 10x's in the last two week's!!!!

Not sure what you mean, you sound like it was "huge task" or something?

Just drop in ODS texture.zip into the dir and run htti/seasonswitcher once.

IMHO'...don't think you need all the ODS Tile's in IRAN.

Okay, but separating them wasn't in our interests when making Iran theater.

If somebody want's to contribute.So be it, I would think??

To contribute to ODS tiles, of course.

I don't know about Sherlock, But send that if you can.It would sure help out in TacEdit for me!!!!!!!
(Don't worry about the format,I can convert it Whatever is easiest for you!!!)

Thanx Polak,

@ Snake Man,

'Kay,Gotcha'

I'm short on time right now (can't read everything in detail) but if Polak is offering up new tiles that will add variation to ODS/IRAN and they are at least 512x512 resolution then I am all for it. WIll catch up later.

Of course all tiles will be available to any of the PMC theater they might be usefull. At the moment I am working on night tiles. Unfortunately since there is some significant difference between tiles for AF and FF (night tiles specially) that will be time consuming. There is many other attempts of new terrain tiles around and soon there will be hopefully plenty to choose from.

Here is upload link with requested map.
