So i have started to create a small test map for SABW where we will be testing some stuff once most off the models like the weapons and the deferent factions are done etc

And i am also learning the Squad SDK at the same time

That's the type of terrain that you need to try and mimic 😋

Going to be a bit taxing on performance though I think with the thick bush maps... We'll see how we'll deal with that.

Bases often had "sand walls" rather than HESCO barriers as I believe they weren't invented yet at that time?

Yes

I'm going to work on some map assets so Warmaster can get cracking.

Likely the SADF tent as the first asset

So the test map will be a "base"

changed the green grass for dead grass

looks more like the real thing

im also going to change out some of the buildings for tents

Mini Map

looking very nice

The sand bags should be a brown colour other than that its looking great

Will be making brown textures

Hay everyone just letting you know i started getting an issue if i tried to play our test map in the editor where it would crash and tried to find a fix with no success. So i decided to just create the map over from scratch and also make the map bigger

A lot off work still to do and the lighting is also a thing i need to work on. And i changed the green sandbags for the brown once

Trying to get a layout off where everything is going to be

And yes the big mountains in the back does look a bit weird will change that has i work on the test map

Looking good War. sand walls are a little too close but good as a concept. Grass on them doesn't look accurate to the SADF base and camps references

Want to see these flags flying over the base.

Shooting Range Coming Together

Bit close range

Will make a longer range one later

Cool looks very nice i like the bags

Yea will put some more updated images of the map later

Changed a few things all around the map and added ammo crates by the spawns and shooting range

And i am going to package a test version of the mod and putting it on our test server so will see we might give a link to download the test version of the mod and then you can play on the test server but there will be a password on the server so you will have to message me or springbok for the password

Yeah i have no internet atm

that sucks

Tell me man

Gotta get my fix

what's wrong with your internet

I finished studying and been job hunting for 5 months now

O

Living with my dad on the farm

Got a job now at least but i dunno if ill be able to get internet there

O

Since its also deeeep in the bundus

Is there no wireless ISP's in your aria

My man

The job is in a game conservancy

1 and a half hours away from tabazimbi via dirt roads

Doubt

o

Nah its bad quality

Yeah

But ill check it out

Hopefully you can get internet in the future

Yeah

Cant believe i havent played squad in such a long time

Hehe

i also just recently started playing it again when i started working on the map and stuff

Looks naas

The green sandbags is one of the small bunkers but has no brown versions but we will try and make new textures later

The tents in the background are broken in the SDK but in game they work fine that's why the textures do not look loaded

Ah ok

Working on the shooting range

Hay everyone so i am starting to work on the Test Map again and i am working on making it look better. Will send a few images once i have worked on it a bit

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hehehe yea its time that the SABW mod also gets some love

sounds fun

i am also updating the lighting
