Here's my remake of Red Storm 2 which is used in the Tutorial and Blackhorse scenarios. As you can see I've included the highway, which has a purely visual effect only.It will still act as a normal road.

Any suggestions to improve it are most welcome. [:)]

Looks really good Plodder!!

Good Hunting.

Awesome map!!!

WOW!...best map ever!!...PLEASE make it all!![&o][&o][&o]

Wonderful with road names (in addition to village names), to match the briefing, and to make defining and memorizing your own plans easier.

I like the map as well, especially the way the elevations show on the map.

Plodder,

How long did it take to do the map? Only minor issue I see is the white roads clash a bit with the town names. Maybe a light gray road or a more pronounced black outline on the letters plus the shadow.

That has really caught my attention, great map, cant wait to try it Plodder

Plodder,

It's taken me about a week to make as I've had a lot of trial and error with different techniques. I copied Jamm's technique of outlining each contour level in a 1px black line, for example, which accompanied with a drop shadow, really makes them pop. I've just started on Red Storm 1(A Time To Dance)and it should go a lot quicker. The slowest part is copying,pasting and adjusting the fields. I use screen shots from Google Earth and where possible, the fields you see are the actual fields from their real-world locations, but at a different scale.

How's this for the roads:

I like the gray roads. Does make reading the names easier and the road is a bit less bright against the rest of the map. The fields are excellent.

Thanks for the info.

I've updated to include the road colour adjustment. The link is the same..

Absolutely awesome work Plodder... I love the way the elevations seem jump out of the map! I often take casualties not realizing I've moved onto higher terrain.

Good Stuff![:)]

Looks good, I like the fields as well.

That's a great looking map all around. [&o]

Good Hunting.

Great map!

How do you install the map? Sorry for the question as I'm new to the game.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks mate. It's your maps that inspired me to have a go in the first place.

Keep up the great work!

Extract the zip to the modules/ FPRS/ maps folder In the game installation folder. You might want to back up the original file first.

Thanks for the tip! Just installed it & looks great in the game.

Looks absolutely awesome. I think it would enhance the game quite a bit if all maps looked like this.

Hey Plodder,

I was wondering what program you used to make your map, if you don't mind sharing that info with us.

Plodder, are you planing to mod other maps?
