Development on version 1.x (Project Euromir)

[Purno]

Aren't there any pictures of any progress of Belarus?

As far as i know ProMods ian't planned in Projext Euromir or for that matter Promods at all...

Yeah you're right.

LoaderSaints is making Belarus, but that's not an official ProMods project and the progress is slow. Mapping eats up a lot of time, especially if the map is made only by one person.

On the contrary. Working alone on a map could really speed things up. Solo projects don't have any problems with storing data, transferring data to other team members, communication problems, complicated version control, etc. Obviously it's useful to have some support. In fact, in my experience (which is still limited, true), a project like Iceland, where one person does all the mapping, but got support of other people making assets (signs for example), is the most efficient and fast way to map.

It depends on how much time such a person has available to spend on mapping, of course.

Purno is absolutely right. What comes to Belarus, well, I'm working on it but at the moment I have nothing to show you guys as my studies (I'm a senior high-school student) take so much of my time. Hopefully I'll be able to progress more rapidly in December as of the holiday season. So please be patient. And who knows, if the developers like my work (I hope so) maybe I'll be one of them some day.

Hi! I have two questions:
1) Has progress in Project Euromir been halted due to making of 1.8?
2) Will bilingual signs (Eesti and Võru) be added to Võru County?

Tere!
1) I think, no. Simply Nico has some RL stuff, so this is why progress has slowed.
2) Is Võru county really have billingual signs? When I was in southeastern Estonia, I saw city names on signs only in one language.

Hey Nico! Really nice job on Estonia. I (and I think I'm not the only Estonian) really appreciate your job! Keep it up man!
Best of luck! =D

While we all had to wait on the completion of 1.80 I decided to continue working in the far east.

This time I wanted to make the post a little more interesting. So I decided to upload some pics with how the city was constructed the last days.

From WIP to almost a completed city:

First a very basic draft of the city:


Slowly more and more shape into it's infrastructure:


Now it's time to try and fit in some special constructions (bridges in this case):



Once those fit in it's time to start shaping the scenery:


And of course other streets now need to get scenery:


Another bird eye's view update:


More and more construction taking place at various parts of the city:


After a modelling session it's finally time to implement the correct bridge models. Result:


Current status:



I'm guessing that I can finish this city tomorrow and otherwise monday. Once finished I will give you guys more detailed screens of the new town.

Hopefully this little summary of mapping a town was interesting

Nice Nico

I was been recently in Tartu, and this places looks so familiar for me! And the same Emajõgi river... Almost the same, as I have saw in RL!
Great work! Keep it up!

And will road N92 added to Pärnu? Thank you.

Awesome post! Unfortunately, there have been few of these recently in ProMods...
