Desert Storm Baghdad SP2 screenshots

[Snake Man]

Here is some new screenshots from ODS, running in SP2 final.

First image is the PAK map in campaign, it looks fairly normal but you must understand that the theater size in that screen is four (4) times the korean size. Its fully working now under 128 theaters.

Next is bunch of screenshots over the Iraqi city of Baghdad, we have not tiled much of the city yet but work is in progress. Zaggy the tilemeister has done... well lets say amazing work with the tiles. In one of these images you see the tiled segment (16x16 tiles/textures), its easy to see difference between Zaggys new tiles and old tiles/tiling. Here are the screenshots, enjoy.

Snakeman, i sent you those tiles that you assigned, i need the next 6.

[Zaggy]

I guess this means i now have to pull my finger out and finish the other bagdad segments??? There goes the next 2 months or so of my life..

I'll add them to the texture.bin, tile them and process them through runtiles in no time to catch some ingame screenshots.

Extremely easy tiles to tile, very nice.

Wow, very nice work. I was never able to obtain the satellite imagery of Baghdad. So the default city tiles are of *gasp* Las Vegas. Good work. Just get the colors to blend into the desert and we will have a pretty good virtual replica of Iraq.

ok ok, back to Baghdad now

[Zaggy]

T-Bone: if you look hard enough and know how to access things, you can get satelitte imagery of just about anything..

I also have Kuwait city here somewhere, and working on getting Mosul and other cities...

[Zaggy]

OK, seg 2 is completed and Im about 10% thru cutting it up into tiles, for those who want to, or need to know...

[Snake Man]

very cool indeed

Zaggy keep it up

Widmak

[Zaggy]

Hey... Looks nice...

I will keep that quality of work up until my head explodes... But what Im really after is a Tile Apprentice... I need a hand with a few of the projects i WANT to get to, but am too busy with Bagdad (and another project) to get to them right away...

All you need is patience (for the research component), a little artistict flair and some photoshop skills... Its as easy as that...

[ccc]

Incredible! you put sat image of that city in theater?

just take care those dark green.. seem too dark compared with desert brightness.

[Zaggy]

Im sort of worried some of it is too light coloured!!! But thats the beauty of it all ccc... Barren desert and suddenly you are over lush, irrigated fertile lands...

[Com_gp]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

Zaggy you are the king, once I tried to make that for Las Vegas but finally I decided not doing it because the aumount of work needed for it (and my lack of time).



Keep it up, and if you need any sat pic from USAF just ask for it,

ComGP

[ccc]

ComGP, is that ODS Baghdad shot? WOOOW!

[Zaggy]

Thats not bagdad... Close to the same detail tho... Looks like Nevada actually... Is it???

But down to business... What Sat Images can you get??? UK or West/Central Europe??? Anything in the Middle East???

If you guys are after more Bagdad shots (there is a second segment now tiled), hassle Snake Man...

[Zaggy]

Hey SM, how about some more Screenies!!!

No, this is a very very old shoot of Las Vegas, once that i was trying to make it photorealistic, there are a few more shots at

They are pretty old, they are dated 01 29 2001.

Well, I can get sat pics out of the game Jane´s USAF, its not the exactly real thing (I´ve seen things in Nevada that are not real placed) but they could be used pretty well.
The best place done in that game is actually Nevada, but ME is pretty much cool also.

I also sent some tiles that came out from a game (Back to Baghdad) to Snake Man, their quallity wasnt the best thing ever but they were cool in some aspects.



The actual size for this image is 1141 x 510.
Anyways, this is some way illegal because the two sources im using are commercial games...

ComGP

[Zaggy]

I dont want to go pilfering stuff from other games tho... ODS should be UNIQUE!!!

[Ender Wiggin]

hows it comin, im assuming thats whats left.

[Zaggy]

Doing bagdad to the level of detail specificed, takes a long time... So you'll just have to be patient..

[Ender Wiggin]

no big deal, i can just wonderin how it was comin along.
