True Ground Maps - Gettysburg - The Big Picture
Re: 'True Ground' - Devil's Den Map - The Big Picture
Thanks Reb
Height scale - I already have a wip with lowered height scale and new ground textures. Btw - I've completely removed the stock water frames for the creeks as these are next to useless, and look odd. I've replaced with a muddy stream ground texture instead.
I'll set out how to do that in due course, for future reference.
Buildings - I haven't reset/adjusted the buildings yet as wanted to check a few things first. For example, I notice there's a farm near Plum Run/DD below the Slyder farm, which I've not seen mentioned on any historical map. See pic below. Is that right?
Again, I'll reset the buildings for you, but also tell you what to do, so you know for the future.
Updated buildings - have started, but much to do. Here's the new Slyder Farm placed on the stock map.
All of this will take some time as have other real life stuff going on, but will try to give you a wip asap. B)

Re: 'True Ground' - Devil's Den Map - The Big Picture
I prefer not to mess with too much of Eric's original design, and knowing his attention to detail, odds are this farm placement is accurate. No problem with your Plum Run edits, it was historically basically dried up at the time of this battle.Buildings - I haven't reset/adjusted the buildings yet as wanted to check a few things first.

Thanks for going above and beyond with this project Crikey, it definitely needed this kick-start via your expertise. Looking forward to your upgrade, as I stay busy with the GB OOB SR1 build.
BTW, since I can't touch the map while you're doing this upgrade, I did miss scaling down a couple of buildings just north of the Little Round Top.

Re: 'True Ground' - Devil's Den Map - The Big Picture
An update will probably be available by Christmas, either by me or better yet, by Crikey. My update will be accompanied by the introduction of a companion mod - True Ground SR1, Scenarios & OOBs...Working on the scenarios as we speak.Are there any updates with this map?
Thanks for your interest, stay tuned.

I am looking forward to the update that will be presented by Crikey or yourself. I appreciate that there are active people in the community that are still inclined to assembling scenarios and creating or modifying OOBs.
You are welcome and I will be awaiting the new update.Thanks for your interest, stay tuned.

Re: 'True Ground' - Devil's Den Map - The Big Picture
Update version 1.01 (December 24, 2019)
- Trees thickened as per Davinci's recommendations...Thanks D
- Map objects scaled down that were missed with the first edition
- The GFX file change (STOCKgfx to gfx) will now provide for complete 'stock play', replacing all B&F flags with the stock originals. Other B&F features in the B&F scenarios will still be present as they have been added to this mod so B&F won't have to be enabled for them to display as designed.
Looking forward to Crikey's map upgrade. In the meantime, SR1 GB OOBs and five Peach Orchard scenarios are ready for release...'True Ground SR1' Scenarios & OOBs coming REAL SOON.

Sorry this has taken so long, due to a combination of things. Should be done in a week or so.
I'll post a Dropbox link when done.
