Hi, anyone interested in making CC4 maps, how about we make this thread a place to announce your latest project.

For example, I redid Baugnez as Malmedy a year ago (time flies!)

Now I'm doing a map on Lanzerath from one of Pfc Michael's aerial photos. Status - 75%.

Ernie has already done Bullingen, Butgenbach, Ettelbruck, and now he's announced Bizory ! WooHooo Very Happy

Trois ponts has been done by Dreaded 88 years ago, it replaces Stoumont.

Anyone else interested? The goal is to replace any CC4 map that you don't like, and also a new strat map. I think the strat map is covered....

Hopefully, use an aerial or a good historical map, make a map of a nearby town that fits into the strat map.

Yes, that Malmedy map of yours is VERY good!

"Trois ponts has been done by Dreaded 88 years ago,
it replaces Stoumont"

Never seen or heard of that one...Where is it?

I believe that one could possibly create a whole new
CC4 game using towns that were passed over by
Atomic

Its coded for CC3, but I converted it.

I can try but please dont expect much,or a fast completed map.
Sometimes I get so frustrated with the simplest of things like making a hill. Crying or Very sad

For possible map replacement to the current strat map how about:

Losheimgraben to replace Losheimgraben?
If you seen the areil youll know the towns not correcty depicted just remaned from the original game.

Stolzemburg to replace Gemund
In the hands of a good map maker this couls be a killer town to fight over.

Stavelot:
Much more fighting took place than at just the bridge.

Whos gonna do the strat map?
A key would be deciding first which maps you wanted and didnt.

Now if you want someone for research I can help with that no problem,unless you wanted elevations,then someone who lives overthere might be more helpfull.I can give a somewhat general idea but not very accurate im sorry

Maybe, but your game graphics are great!

Interesting..hadn't thought of that one.

Yes, weve both talked about that one before, it's on my mental list to do, but it wont be for a while Mad

Anyone else is welcome to try.

How about historical descriptions in the btd files? Instead of the usual "Commander hold the bridge at all costs" text, a real description of historical fighting in the area would really add to it. Ernie's historical.txt files in some of his maps, and Bloody Omaha's btd's are like that.

One option that has always intriged me would be to have maps that cover maybe either two towns or a town and a half.

While the larger maps might be hard to fit for VET mod files (I think that could work though despite TT findings)

It would/could make for more interesting GC's with the timer set to off.
I belive Mafi has a tool that will allow one to cut and put two maps together although I have never used it.

I will throw together a screen shot in a few days to give a better idea on how it would look/work.

Who knows,maybe others would like the idea too.

I used Mafi's CC2 tool to shrink the CCM maps down to CC4 size, although you thought they were STILL too big! Crying or Very sad

It works great, no recoding.
