Great stuff! Big map. I enjoyed that I kept finding new places to explore. I feel like this map leans slightly GDI due to the GT's just being so persistent (although they can't seem to hit you when you're right in front of them as they can on other maps like lakeside, whiteout).

Only technical issue I found is an invisible blocking volume here: KxXdg47.jpg

 

Well done! Can't wait to play it for real. I hope you give it a high mine limit.

That issue is already fixed in my version, just yet to render the lights

To prevent Harverster bugs: make sure you got lot of white lines

The only problem I have now is that the Nod one gets stuck... not sure why. It worked a while back and broke before I messed with the paths

I can take a look at the paths tomorrow if you want to

If I can't get it working, I will PM you a DL link after the render is done.

@yosh56 I'll finish it if @Sarah! is ok with that. Outposts is currently in a stable version and can take a small break from that.

 

I recently played it and I thought it was too dark for a sunrise. So will do some magic with lighting here and there if that's ok.

 

Anything else that needs fix?

@limsup As I said Outposts is in a stable version. Currently no massive bugs or game-breaking things. Currently working on improvements.

 

@Sarah! I just did some post processing effects to make your map all nicy nice nice. I'll send that version over to you asap.

Also, do some culling please otherwise people will get massive fps drops

I've also attempted end game cameras, but I can not get them correctly. They always spin around instead of looking straight

Paths finally done (again)

That would be great, thanks! I will start on the culling and send it over if you want after that. I will be having it rendered later today as well, so that's when I will do the minimap.

Minimap done or need to be done?

Already done, unless you want to make a "more proper" version. I just got one done for testing's sake. I will polish it in Photoshop later unless you want to do it.

the silo/mushroom cave looks great :)

just took a brief look at your latest release, not sure about the lighting yet. at least the main vehicle path is too gloomy for my taste.

but please @Sarah!.... for the sake of Kane... FIX the damn MESH collisions!!!! I'm aware that this is some rather tedious work but it needs to be done.... looks like nothing changed since v0.92x onwards, there are so many spots where you can hide a character inside some rocks [I did post some 100+ screenshots about this issue in the past]

@Madkill40 Sunrise deserves one of your nice n shiny minimaps :)

Old version here ^. And I did fix a lot of them, but I deleted my new version and had to revert to a new one and I lost all the changes

About the collision problem:

You scaled the rocks too much. Use more but smaller rocks to get a better collision

I know what causes the problem. Like I said, I just don't specifically look for them and I forget that I rolledback a few versions

Scaling meshes too large really does demotivate, first variant of Frostbite suffered from this much worse to be fair.

I'd quite happily create a minimap, they're an enjoyable process.

@Agent or @Schmitzenbergh or @kenz3001 what is the resolution of the overview map supposed to be in pixels? (Original minimap template dimensions are way off)

@Sarah!

just added the mesh spots inside the bases again, there are still a couple of spots outside the bases, just check my previous uploads

+ some stuck spots and other things

edit: the GDI harvy commits suicide from  time to time. guess it gets stuck eventually, never observed it though - probably already known

Regards,

The big areas filled with collision obstruction due to scaled-up meshes you have two options:

1. Decorate the areas with things 

2. Set mesh to have no collision and build a more accurate blocking volume

3. Both 1 & 2

It's impossibly hard to get harvesters to do exactly what they're supposed to
