hi, so its time to start catching up with the new stuff i did in the last half year that i havent posted on the blog :D.
lets start with the oldest one. a convert of yabitu touge, originally made by TAKAHIRO for rfactor.
when i restarted playing, i kinda felt like making a new map, but since i havent done a map in years i wanted something short and simple for the start, and this one was perfect :D. its very well made so i didnt have to do much bug fixing. since its rather small, it actually fits into the 1dff size limit, wich i like.
so anyway, what i did with it:
- converted to sa
-remodeled the map edge, so its an actual new island instead of a floating road, just the way i like it haha
- proper prelight, bright at day, dark at night etc. i also figured out how to make trees look way better than on my old maps too
-lod model
-some small bugfixes and changes here and there, nothing major tho
-it uses 6 dffs, even tho the map fits in the 1dff size limit, it certainly doesnt fit into the polygon limit as its rather high poly. so i did a similar thing i did with the hakone convert, i have split it into the main dff, trees dff and so on. all of the dffs use the same coords so its just as easy to place the map ingame as if it was just one dff. i kinda like this method and i used it on 2 more maps i done since this one haha.
i think i should also mention that when i restarted playing, i actually started with sa:lc instead of sa again, and i originally made this one for the salc. but i got bored of salc, or better say its bugs that i used to ignore years ago rather fast, so i switched back to sa, so i have edited the map once again to make it work and look good on the regular sa :D.
also, besides open limit adjuster im also using an fastmans limit adjuster now, mainly because its capable of removing the map boundaryes, so i can now place new maps about anywhere without worrying they will dissapear like they used to. im taking an advantage of this quite a bit with my recent maps hahaha.
so yeah, i think thats about it really, a simple project, and even tho the map is rather short, its really fun, and it can be kinda tricky too :D.
now, i know that tipically i relased most of my maps, but i decided im not going to be doing that anymore. reason being i cant really be bothered dealing with onedrive uploads and i dont feel like searching for a new uploader, but mainly i just somehow...dont feel like it anymore, lol. maybe i will change my mind about it sometime, but well see.
so yeah, i think thats all for now, i still have a bunch of stuff to post about, so see you, hopefully, soon ;D.
PS: if you remember the post about this at the INSTAGRAM, you might notice the pics are different. i actually changed the location of the map since posting about it originally, so i took new ones. i did the same with the other 2 maps that are coming here soon too haha.
