Witka's Wadi Remix

thats pretty impressive. the humvee looks real good.

Great work on the vehicle textures, looks awesome

I love those vehicles, awesome work! can't wait to see it finished

i hope you asked jaymian about this...?
the textures of the vehicles look really cool, good work, but align those mountain textures

Ha

I'd never think to see this in the forums. Definately weird. Yeah, Witka's Wadi was never supposed to be pretty. I took pencil shots of the vehicles online, and just drew over them. My first attempt at making my own textures.

But this thing is, it doesn't look like Witka's Wadi. Witka's Wadi is a wadi in the mohave desert, on Ft Irwin. Ft Irwin is a training facitity, and uses old ass veitnam vehicles to go up against America's finest. Witka's Wadi was where we, with our crappy veitnam vehicles, would set up camp. So since it really doesn't look like Witka's Wadi, you should prolly rename it to you liking, giving some credit to the original in the Readme.

BSP errors were a constant pain in the arse while making this map. It's mosly do to the TerraEdit. Here's a few tips, that I learned recently, and didn't know back then. Make all the vehicle brushes, and any other standalone brushes, semisolid. This way, they won't cut the bsp, and should calm the BSP gods. You also need to pay close attention to the terrain. I always got these areas that acted like invisable collision hulls. I fixed them by careful adjustments with the bsp slide bars. Somebody else out there decided my map needed tunnels, and their version had those inv. coll. hulls everywhere.

Since the map is looking nice, I'd say fix the bsp errors, rename it, and release it. I was always concidering redoing that map, but I didn't want to redo all those textures. It took me weeks to do those crappy ones. I'd rather just make a new map. Good luck, and I hope you get those bsp erros fixed.

I am the biggest Witkas Wadi fan ever (maybe, besides J himself) so if this did get released it would certainly NOT be WW. Someone else already tried that and added some tunnels and put it online without clearing it with the author (I asked him and he said :I couldnt find him....durrr) Regardless of whether any changes would enhance or detract from the online gameplay its grossly presumptous to assume that the mapper didnt have specific reasons to make a map and release it exactly the way it is. While I would love to see more HUGE maps that one can enjoy for many hours of non-cqb tactical movement and sniping dont do i at the expense of someone elses labor. Lets hope this aspiring mapper does not get discouraged and instead focuses on creating his own unique environment. I like the new textures d00d btw.....but c'mon guys give the ppl who went before you their mad props. They will more than likely provide you with generous assistance in return.

Looking good

I hope everything works out. If you need anything, just ask. There's a tab called build options, and there's all kinds of goods in there, including two slide bars. One says balance tree, and the other says portals cut all. You need to be careful and only make slight adjustmants, then build, and see what happpens. It's a long boring process. If you get everything where you want it, and still can't fix the bsp, I could give it a try. I don't remember the settings, but with all the changes, they'd be different anyways. Good luck,

I like the pine trees man, cant wait to see it. INFneeds more forestation!

Click to expand...

deintersect the whole model, add the deintersected one and merge the polys

I was looking through some old military pics and found a shot of Witka's Wadi. Yeah, there's a big tank in the way, but I think you get the idea that it was just desert. Woo Hoo, I LOVE the army.
