Your help is more than welcomed. But, what kind of custom textures are we talking about ?

Yes, i would like to remove the fog because i don't want to see the buildings all brown in the distance. And if it's possible the sky, a blue sky probably with some clouds and without mountains surrounding the world.
About the sea, seabed and ground what textures you can apply ? these are better than the original ones ?

I know it, it's giants limitations. It's impossible to do it 100% equal (plus nobody maked something like that by far), i was hoping to someone tell me more than this :x .

Sorry :oops: . Well if any of you don't know i'm using Google Earth that fortunately it has all NYC buildings in 3d. But it's not exactly as the original cause the Giants world is much more smaller, but the most important/tallest skyscrapers are in and are placed at the closest to the real / best location (for ex. you won't see Chrysler building next to Empire State).

Chrysler building and Trump tower:

The map

Post by HellSnake »

Well lads, i have very GOOD news... and some good news :D

the VERY GOOD NEWS:

I recieved Giants_gamer32's map and i was looking forward to see it.
but that feeling quite dissapeard when i was greeted by LOADS of errors when i tried to install to GMM(yea know abut 1.5 but i use GMM for making maps) i got again errors.
i saw the map and it looked very good, unfortunly, when i saved it... i got again loads of errors, and when i tried to play... it started, worked... but its not rlly good if u start a map and u first have to click 300 POP-ups away with:
zip read fail.
error: 100
:? :lol:

so i rolled up my sleeves and worked hard to get the map error free first...

modded the .gti .bin & .gmm and made a new map, imported the stuff, and again modded everything....

after a few attempts the NEW YORK map was error free(U SHOULD RLLY THANK ME FOR THIS GIANTS_GAMER32!! :evil: :wink: 8) ).

so in short the map is now error free.. thats the very good news. :)

the good news
after i got the map error free, i was going to try to remove the fog.
that whas less shittier then making the map error free but i got some weird results in my first attempts...

First attempt:

2nd attempt:

3d attempt:
Image

in my 5th attempt i got the best result so u have to do with that!
i dont think its possible to remove all fog BUT:
  • i made the fog LESS.

    i made the fog from ugly brown to light blue(if u can spot it anywhere)
but as i said, i think its impossible to remove all fog so u will see some sort of fog as the colour of the ground...(so now u see if u fly high a gray ground)
so i think u have to change some colours giants_gamer32 :wink:

goodluck with your map and i'd like to help u further with the map.

and i'm sorry for probaly the longest post i've ever posted :lol: 8)
