Dima and Manoi are proud to announce you that we are working on a new version of the Stalingrad mod. It will not be a simple "portage" of the old mod to the new versions of Close Combat but a whole new experience : a new stratmap, 64 new more historical maps, improved graphics, new BG and new data.
A little appetizer for you : the preview of 2 new maps (compared to the old ones) Be aware that the new maps are in progress and are far to be finished!
The old West Stalingrad becomes The distillery map
Minina
I will try to make a regular diary of the progress and let you participate with your suggestions, ideas and ENCOURAGEMENTS! ;
Preview images of full maps will be rather rare but I will let you see more often litte detailed parts of them. I will not work as before : for the first version have I drawn and coded maps after maps. Now I will draw all the maps and then code them. So it will be possible to correct all the maps during the process of mapmaking as I need to improve myself in some graphical technique (I'm for the moment always trying some technique to render the dirt roads, the balkas or gullies, the vegetation (I plan to make 10 to 15 sorts of trees) - the canvas and textures for buildings are now satifying, note that the buildings will be purely 2D (no isometric view) but will be so perceivable as possible ---> all the 2 or more levels buildings will have stairs depicted by sample).
Don't ask when it will be finished! I hope for the 70th anniversary of the Stalingrad battle but it is not sure (the big difference now compared with 6 years ago is that I have a child now, so less time to draw).
Thanks for your attention! |

No LSA mate as it sux in the current state.

64 new maps is a giant undertaking given the set time frame. What is wrong with the old maps? And... are you going green too? |

I have found a lot of new documents that allow me to draw more historical maps. The graphics will be also improved as I use now more textures. The maps will be drawn regarding the stratmap : no more deployement area without any cover.
Some maps will be larger to depict more crucial locations as the commisar house behind the factory or the house of specialists. |

Great news Manoi and Comrade Dima made a masterpiece before...I look forward to seeing the revision. Those new maps I will be curious to see.
Maybe Sapa will be inspired to make a new Berlin mod in honour of this? |

Hi Dima, can you maybe explain the advantages of TLD over LSA? I own both games now, but I'm still interested to know why you think TLD is better... Thanks! |
