Hi all.

I have some great news about my map. Kleinluka spent massive amount of hours to retexture Northbound and here's the result.

Kleinluka did amazing job with the textures and I really appreciate it.

Here are some pics. They might be a little dark because of my gamma settings but klein will post some more brighter shots.

I hope you like it :)

yeah here's some brighter pics. They are still dark but night maps are supposed to be dark aren't they? Not shown in these pics are the balcony models by flomatic which are being skinned as we speak and we might be dropping in some more detailed prop models for indoors to 'unborify' the houses a little from the inside.

Enjoy.

Add some craters, and a burning tank or two wouldn't hurt.

Wow, it looks wonderful! :) I love the houses w/ the snow on the windowsills.

I agree w/ Insta that a crater or 2 or a couple wrecked vehicles would help w/ the WWII ambience, but I can vouch that the gameplay is incredible. We've been playing this map a LOT at CoJ lately and its truly a blast!

Wow good work guys!

I know it doesn't have to do with the re-texturing but I would just like to see more furniture and stuff inside the houses. They just seem sorta empty at the moment.

This damn better go official *shakes fist*:cool:

I love the map. Alot. But you know what would make it that much better? MORE SNOW! That would add alot to the map, and it would make things feel tighter and closer. Just my opinion. Oh, and make it a night map. Really night, not just dusk.:)

Yeah more snow! :> especially on the roofs..

kleinluka
12-23-2003, 03:17 PM
more snow ? all the textures are snowyfied to the max. I don't want to make the whole map WHITE lol

but hey i think you can change the particle settings to drop more snow flakes at once if thats what you meant by 'More snow'.

How about a snowman you can destroy? :)

You could pack him w/ TNT? Shoot him enough and he blows up w/ a nice blast radius.

Put him at the 2-man center cap point. :)

I know if this was to make it "official" such shenanigans wouldn't cut it, but, its a funny thought. :)

this is not meant to be a "fun map" ;/
it's a "serious" map


eh. get it ? :D

Darkwing

nah, no need for gimmickey things like that. its a top map already. one texture you forgot was the shrub / bush outline texture. its getting old as every snow set map has it. please create a newer one, or even put in a second layer behind it to create a'depth' effect.

Shane
12-23-2003, 08:11 PM
was.... not..... being..... serious.... :)

this map has official written all over it.

skdr

Hehe thanks all.

The map is already full of snow so that's not the problem ;) Kleinluka did amazing job with the new snow textures.

Anyway. I would like to wish everyone merry xmas and happy new year!

kleinluka

i second that. Have a great one everybody. and thanks a bunch for the nice comments!

Shane

Happy Holidays back atcha! :)

skdr, one comment that a few on CoJ have made recently, is that the lampposts are not far enough off the wall to squeeze between them and the wall. Unless that's a desired effect, maybe you could move them off the wall a touch?

Just a thought.

Thanks for the fine map. :)

Thanks.

I've done some work on details. I added prettier roofs to houses and made some nifty balconys.

Hope you like it :)

Yeah they seems to look a bit long from that pic but when you look from the streets they arent so bad imo.

Drop me a msg at irc and I'll drop you the latest build to check out ;)
