Does this one have a symmetrical slopemap and tree layout?

What changed?

North west needs no terra to mex with kbot while south east does.
South hill/base is vehicle save, while north hill/base isn't

The pathing form the middle north-west hill to west is worse than the mirrored hill to east.

Is all of this still true?

Sigh. Looks like not. I thought that would be why this version was made! I'll talk to behe about fixing it.

Could you also ask him to put geo spots a tiny little bit further apart? I think their locations are just a tad too risky and a shorter distance to home bases would make games more interesting and increase variety on this map. Not too short though, only a few tiles, 'cause risk is FUN!

I don't have to ask him to do it I can edit the heightmap easily in spring map edit, just need his OK.

Why are map textures so low res? ZK would look amazing if maps could have 8k (or higher) textures.

they don't have to be any higher res if detail tex splatting is used correctly, you have /advmapshading on?

bigger texture=more memory usage on gpu, and bigger maps (20x-ish) can already use ~300mb

ssmf in comparison is only a few 1024x images, even smaller usage if .dds is used

I don't know actually. When I turn it on in springsettings.cfg it turns itself off after 1 match. Would having shadows on objects and units but not the map be a symptom of no advmapshading?

I lose all shadows when I turn off /advmapshading, this is an example of the difference between the 2 settings:

I don't have advmapshading then. Is there a way to turn it on ingame? I tried "/advmapshading 1" but that did nothing. I tried turning it on in springsettings.cfg but it kept turning itself off during map loading.

it should toggle just with /advmapshading ingame, if not then your video card may not support it

Requires GLSL, which means "not on modern linux intel".

Seriously, why can't intel man up to having the standard shader language implementation?

/advmapshading did not work. GLSL is really badly broken with Intel. Did it start using GLSL "recently"? I used to be able to use advmapshading fine, back in 1.1.3.6 or something.

Advmapshading is engine. 1.1.3.6 is same engine as we're using now.

Units get stuck on the hills in the middle and start doing stupid things like walking backwards and forwards without doing anything. You have to micro your cons to get the mexes.
