=tGA= Harry is my "name", and I am a mapper for Desert Conflict. I thought we needed another update here, so I made a nice hot cup of coffee and sat down and wrote one. I wanted to tell you a little about my work with the Inshallah Valley map.
This was my first MOD assignment as a mapper when I joined DCon this fall. I only got the height map to begin with, which I had received from Clooney. Since I don’t have 2 computers (one to run DC in and one to run the Editor in), I had to start my work by taking some reference pictures of old DC Inshallah Valley. So I booted up old Desert Combat and started to take reference pics at almost everything from different angles. I think I took almost 150-200 pics of DC-IV. It was a really time-consuming job to convert every .tga pic (which is the format DC saves "screengrabs" in) to a smaller, more easily viewable .jpg format and to put them into categories. All these reference pics still wasn't enough. I had to go into DC countless times afterwards anyway to look at something or take some additional screenies.
