Retextured stock Iwo Jima map v1.1







UP3/DBW compatible only, cause the textures storing order is the same of UP3.0.

Install as usual putting Iwo folder into the #UP#(or #DBW)/MapMods/Maps/...

The 3do folder contains Suribachi Mount textures.

N.B. I've added two dedicated Iwo_Landlight.mat and Iwo_CloudShadows.mat.
The CloudShadows.mat has lower values to avoid those dark squares on the map:
with a value of 0.10 they don't appear (but clouds don't cast shadows).

You don't need to add any line to your all.ini cause this replace the stock one!

Proper credits inside the readme.

Enjoy!

Nice retexture. I'm curious about the clouds. If the value is increased a bit, will the clouds make shadows but not have the ugly squares and lines on a map?

[hguderian]

No...if you put values above 0.10 then squares appear...from slightly to more and more visibles.

I hate them...I rather prefer to not have cloud shadows.

Someone smarter than me on graphics should  investigate

Great job, now has a much more realistic.

Thanks.

[hguderian]

Thanks Jeronimo!

About this map....do you've noticed how rounded is that F4-U's engine cowling?

i cant help but compliment those beautiful pics. between the map, the skin, and Jeronimo's wonderful fix, it looks really beautiful.

First, congrats, hguderian on this beaitiful work!

If you allow, I would like to get some info about the cloud lines problem, you and Bombsaway talked about that:

TBH this (to me) randomly appearing issue of ugly lines on the sea or the sea and land terrain bothers me quite some time, I see it a couple of times a week as shadows and have no idea what triggers or eliminates it.

Thank you..

PS: I see I created a new word: "beaitiful" . Oh. That looks so funky I let it stand that way.
I hope you know what I meant..beautiful.

Thanks for the neologism 

I don't know what cause those ugly squares. Do they come from clouds texture, perhaps? Sometimes they appear in the same place of the same map..sometime not.

The only thing I can do is to set a value of 0.10 in the CloudShadows.mat (if you don't have it
download here this mod that you surely already know https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,12508.msg244237.html#msg244237)

0.10 it's a low value, so you don't have shadows from clouds...but in this way you can get rid off squares!

Cheers

Thank you!
I think I keep that in mind. I love the shadows but you offered an alternative I may try.
Sometimes I simply deactivate clouds and set the weather the way I like the e.g. hazy fog.
