Nice work there Loa! Reminds me of the Grand Canyon except for the brush!

Ive yet to play JO, so im curious are all those steep hills hard to get up? or did you add alot of places that you can get to the top through?

LoA - 3-15-2005 at 01:53 AM

well some areas are tuff to run up but hey thats why nova added chopers and all that fun stuff. but to keep it real i allways have areas where players can run up or now adays drive up both of those terrains do have roads carved in to them leading to the top of hills wheres theres some kind of flat areas then from there you pretty much have to run it but yes you can get to the top of the hillls

Those look awesome. Great work

LoA - 4-14-2005 at 11:09 PM

thx for the compliment WRecKLeSS, bytw love playing in your team server

np...anytime! I was wondering how hard it is to make terrains for JO.

Maybe a map like yours above but with access to other canyons thru the mtn sides. like a natural tunnel.

Timber3050 - 4-22-2005 at 07:23 AM

those terrains are beautiful!

LoA - 4-23-2005 at 03:30 AM

thx for the compliments, makeing terrains for jo is no diffrent then bhd with exception of some more detail bump maps added to the trn file.the cpt needs to be run threw devils claws tools and the color map hasto be a 24 bit tga.other then that it is the same it has been since df1

Thanks for the heads up on that..
I'm very new to this arena.. no pun intended... but it seems like the terrain building is left up to a select few out here in the real world. Hard to find info on it , except in here. All this stuff must be TOP SECRET... lol

Excellent map by the way..

Since I'[m in here
Q1. Ive seen maps with different water elevations. An example would be . Water behind a dam.. Is that at all possible, easily.. just thought I'd spark your thinking processes..

LoA - 4-24-2005 at 09:29 AM

well the water height is defined in the trn file and is up to the trn maker to add a height if they wish,i allways leave mine at 0 and let the mapper figure out the height they want.

now if your thinking haveing water on one side of a dang and not the other that can not be done the game engine lays out a flat surface of water that lays under the entire terrain when raised by a mapper you see low points get filled.

the only way to make it so you can have water on one side of a object and not another is to make a new object with a water texture and import that in to the game as a object like a building to be placed in a map and raised or lowered

dfx terrains

lushka scs - 5-16-2005 at 12:19 AM

most dfx terrains works on jo too

except the snow terrains

michaelvoodoo - 6-12-2005 at 12:10 AM

so come on then fella how do i get the maps? and install?

i must say they are very good and with a natural tunnel in there somewhere there would be a very good idea for a freaking brilliant co-op map. im thinking scaramanga - bond island.

LoA - 7-2-2005 at 08:21 AM

thx there going to be used in a mod that will be made for dfx/jo. there will be plenty of terrains and models and weapons and god willing new vehicals



some models for the terrain

im really impressed with your stuff, is there any eta on release? or you gonna sell your ideas to nova and make some money for yourself? hmm a new add on pack!!!

you couldnt give me an idea of anywhere i could download some new terrains an stuff could you as im new to the jo/joe/dfx map making side of things and aint got a clue on where to look?

thank you

LoA - 7-16-2005 at 12:44 AM

well personanly i dont think nova cares for there moders much, so i dont think they want anything i have to offer. and no eta on the models for game play. as for finding terrains if you have made them for bhd there more or less the same.just some slight diffrences.and you could probably do a google search on jo terrains to find some more im sure theres some out there.
