Introducing my upcoming map

Any response on the screens perhaps?
Will be an idyllic and detailed double Objective Multiplayer-map inspired by a small village somewhere at the German/French frontier. Mostly all buildings walkable and ...
Hope getting it "alpha" till spring

oops... forgot the link

The shots look awsome. Looks like a lot of fun. Could you post a "top dow" shot, so we can get a feel for how the areas are connected?

Also: the FPS is a bit worrying in those screens: but maby it is test compiles.

Looks great. Keep it up!

Wow, thanks guys.

I added some shots so you can get an overview.

@Bjarne: Actually they are shots from the testcompile and i've got your Vis-Leafgroup tutorial under my pillow while sleeping and i'm more than a bit worried about the fps. But confidently i'll get it.

Probably I'll need some advice when it gets to the scripting part - hope you will have some for me.

In reply to the new screenshots ( had to do a refresh of the page before I could see them

) : Oh shit!

You have some SERIOUS VIS work to do on that baby before it is done!

But damn it looks good

I'm peeing my pants thinking of that damn Vis-thing as Bjarne said.
The name? I haven't really got one yet. Thought about Saverne, a Village in Elsa?, region Alsoce/France.
But doesn't really matter - any French-sounding name should do.
Btw: Mapfile has 14megs now

Map file of 14 megs ( about half done? ) that leans towards 28 when done. An un-educated guess for your final compile time: say around one week with a 2.0 GHz CPU with 512 RAM....

Unless you happen to have a render park nearby, or some insane multi-CPU machine.

mmmmmmm multi-CPU machine... i have 1280 RAM
