Zeko Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Would there be interest for it? I'm stuck with my old laptop and can't play any new stuff or dive into UE4 but would like to mod something in my spare time.I can't really decide for what theme/scenario should i go with yet so feel free to suggest something . Also i'm a bit rusty in GR modding so I don't plan to create multiple height levels in a map just yet, since I always had problems with sherman levels/transitions during process.

MrMoon Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hmm how about a norad style command bunker. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeko Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Good idea . With forest surrounding? Or only focus on bunker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoon Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Reckon a road with a small wooded area surounding it would be cool. Or maybe just the road winding around some cliffs. I think recreating that pic of the bunker entrance would look sweet in gr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJbrena Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I've been reading "The Dead Hand" by David Emmanuel Hoffman recently. The book focuses on nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, their roles, scares involving them and control of them. Focused mainly on the 1980s. While a lot of the Soviet biological warfare facilities don't have known locations that are exactly known, there was the fairly well-known one on Vozrozhdeniya (Rebirth) Island; some anthrax got out in 71 and killed 3 people.Other Biopreparat facilities known are located around the Urals (broad generalization there), but mostly near cities like Yekaterinberg (Sverdlovsk during the Soviet years), Kirov, Berdsk and others. The interesting thing about the Biopreparat program was that it was officially a civilian research program that wouldn't possibly violate the Biological Weapons Convention. The West knew about the plants, but everyone feared nukes more so that was the focus.That in mind, I'm all for a bunker map like MrMoon said. A few ideas come to mind:- Hidden Bunker in Ghost Town. Hidden in plain sight (of very few people) is the entrance to an underground facility containing either a research facility for conventional weapons or one involving a CBRN threat of your choice.I know China has a lot of these ghost cities, and MrMoon had some pretty sweet PLA characters in Chaos AD, but that'd probably require it to be more than a map. Just a thought. There's probably some ghost cities in Eastern Europe you could use too. There's a Japanese island called Hashima Island that was abandoned after the coal ran out.- Nuclear Silo. Pretty self-explanatory. Probably in a temperate area. Some guard posts and facilities above ground, but the toughest part of the fight is inside the facility.- War Room. An underground command center, complete with huge screens and rows of consoles. Maybe government affiliated, maybe PMC, maybe some SPECTRE/Cobra/MJ12 kind of organization instead. If it's government or PMC-oriented, plenty of insignias everywhere. If it's some secretive evil organization's lair, bigger and flashier logos when at all possible. You know, something that just screams "COOBRRRAAAAA!!!". I'd love a bunker map to have medium or long-range combat rapidly transition into claustrophobic CQB in hallways and rooms.

Zeko Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thx for the info TJ. I googled a bit and these locations would be good to recreate for GR. The Hashima Island looks very cool. Too bad that GR can't handle a lot of polygons.I'm aiming for tunnel/mountain entrance with hidden research lab/control base inside. Probably surrounded with forest area. So open area with a mix of CQB inside compound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoon Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Good ideas tj Sounds great zeko you should check out the weapons factory map from tsoaf for textures/ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJbrena Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Would this be a paved road leading into a mountain facility, or something more discreet? I only ask because depending on the nature of the base, multiple entrances/exits of varying sizes may be warranted. Any base need supplies to function, meaning trucks to roll in and out, or boats travel through rivers to a dock in the side of the mountain. The latter would be more easily hidden from aerial photography, and there could still be a land-based footpath on either side of the otherwise hidden dock. For reference.

Zeko Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 MrMoon, I don't have tsoaf but will google for refs, thx.TJ, yeah was thinking more like paved road/railroad tracks into hill/mountain entrance. Just like I did in my map from Rockall mod. But there was just for eye candy. So one main entrance plus one emergency exit/entrance hidden somewhere on a map Entrance would be guarded with some machine gun nests or guard towers...

There is underground base map in frostbite, it s got one large road entrance and one foot path tunnel from an out laying bunker. It mite be worth looking at for idea's . It was a great map loved playing it especially when the weather had been modded to make it look like you were in a snow storm. Like Alpha squad did for one of there coop tournament missions.

MrMoon Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Sure its one of the best maps for gr and I'm planning on making a mission for it but what it lacked being a missle silo was a big flashy command center. But really? A new map for ogr by Zeko? I must say I'm more than a little exicted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeko Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Something like this? A quick blockout of control room.So MrMoon you volunteer for a mission when I get this done? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMoon Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I got at least six to seven ideas for a mission based on this map idea dude Loved your previous work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeko Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Nice me and IGOR don't go to well hehe Added some high ground for the five star and other VIP's so they can rest while they watch Star Wars . What else would a room like this need beside coffee mugs, papers, telephones, red buttons etc.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoon Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hmm well looks like you pretty much nailed it mate looks fantastic so far Maybe have a commanders office in the back with big glass windows overlooking the whole thing.But yeah more of this please looks amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeko Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Thx MrMoon, working on that as we speak Slow progress because I caught flu . Started on the outside for the overall feeling of the map. That rock needs lots of work and texturing is a bit off. Also I'm not sure about the scale of it. I don't want it to strech over half map, yet in reality it should. Will probably took some middle way approach a.k.a. "artistic freedom" Will spam this topic with boring renders a bit more these days 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMoon Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Looks like my new favorite map so far mate can't wait too see more already have a ton of ideas for missions Might also retexture this map for final thanatos mission if you don't mind Is the truck gonna be part of the final map?
