Hey stilldre,

Are those pics above actually it? Cause they look amazing if they are. And if they are would you mind showing some ingame pics?
The trees look a bit light/not heavy. But the blending is fantastic

Yes those screens are real from Cityscape. Ingame screens are going to come later this month.. Hopefully
I'm trying to recreate real Pikes Peak mountain/hills around it in IV style just on different scale, it should be hard to put the real sizes in place i want it.
Those trees are just standart you can choose from, for IV i'll add some pine trees and few others.
It should be possible to make something like this screen:

Cool

And is the snow in the other pics final? Maybe it can be made a small bit less thick or a longer blending range. (it cuts off quite quick from snow to dirt.) If you know what I mean.
And you probably will but maybe more trees up in the snowy parts and if you could put snow on those trees as well.

This will be very good when finished, thanks for all your hard work

ye it's tricky if you don't know.. hold left ALT and use mouse to zoom/move around etc.

[SAINTxUNIT3D]

thanks man

im going to try and make a snowy map like antarctica XD

[SAINTxUNIT3D]

And do you know how to export to fbx with multiple textures cause say if i had on my map
dirt and grass texture once i export it into 3ds max it only shows one texture (the first one i assigned)

It crashes my GTA when I am about to get into desert. When I am in LC, everything is fine.

Where the hell is the map??

All I see are cars driving in the air

[SAINTxUNIT3D]

Goodluck, make sure you use google/youtube to get some inspiration from
At least i'm doing this almost every time now

You can't export painted models, only elements.. Look at left in bar for LOT, than right click the whole area by making it.
After use Material Seed to put more textures, this method works to have more textures on the map however blendings are something for GIMS in MAX!

Can you walk on map? If not, you should install the map properly. If you can walk up on it?! Than you can use Photoshop to resize textures...
Or better have GDDR5 RAM Graphic Card it's better for loading enviroments

Well i see you have been allready helped, but in future just make sure you make BACK UP's from files you think will need in future!
That would help avoiding these awkward issues..

Probably not if you don't see the map but can walk on it. I actually never have this issues on my EFLC..
I have GDDR5 AMD Radeon HD 6850 1 GB with 6 GB RAM memory and 2.33ghz cpu lol
You should manually downsize textures with Photoshop, it's not that hard and can be done in few minutes

textures from '1024x1024' to '512x512'
textures from '512x1024' to '256x512'
textures from '256x1024' to '128x512'

by exporting textures with OpenIV in this direction: pc/data/maps/red_dead_desert/rdd_main/rdd_main.wtd
Than import back to same direction and 'rebuild/save' the archive, that should fix it!

Seems fun, glad you like it

Unfortunately i'm kinda bored by making desert again. So i'm leaving RDD '12 as BETA for now..
I have considered to make a new map mod inspired by mountains and river screens from GTA V.
I'll make a new topic soon when i've more progress!

Also i've created new homepage, for all feature map mods and released ones.. You can visit here:

You should remove liberty city instead and add what you want to there; if people want to play in liberty city they can play an unmodded version.

[Convetors]

Can you just give or show or any tut how did you managed to convert things from cityscape Please !! id Like that Alot !

[konty]
