Beta River Highway 1.7.2b

A huge 8x8km map with over 200km/125mi of roads to explore.

  1. v1.2 Cleanup, improved textures, and PBR

    unyxium
    This update does not have much in terms of content added, rather, already existing content has been improved.
    • Changed many terrain textures (see new screenshots).
    • Mipmapping has been added to terrain textures and more.
    • The highway north of default spawn (away from the town) has been rerouted to smoothly follow the river. Some other roads have been extended to meet up with others.
    • The sky colour has been adjusted, now using the current gradient maps. Sunrise, sunset and...
  2. Texture improvements and other small fixes

    unyxium
    • Important textures (mainly ground and roads) were updated to include mipmaps, improving the visual quality of the map by reducing graininess. Crops were not fixed in this update but they are planned to be later.

    • Reduced grass cover range to 150. This has the effect of increasing the density of grass. Overall count was also reduced but not enough to reduce the resultant density.
    • Updated all preview thumbnails. Here are three of them:...
  3. Overall improvements and expansion

    unyxium
    There are too many changes to list! Here are the notable ones:
    • Completed all unfinished highways to form the 2 main loops planned from the start (which make a figure 8). It is possible to drive along all highways without reaching any road ends. When loading the map, 227km of road is reported now.
    • Added trees to cover areas of the map that are not finished and hide areas from view when driving on the usable roads.
    • Moved the large dirt runway and shortened it slightly. It is...
  4. Various fixes and adjustments in response to reviews

    unyxium
    • Darkened grass and asphalt terrain materials so they aren't as vibrant.
    • Reduced grass groundcover to 20% what it was originally. This should fix the performance issues mentioned many times in reviews. The map still requires more resources than official maps, but stuttering should be almost gone.
    • Fixed terrain material physics such as sand which now allows vehicles to sink in slightly.
    • Removed excess unfinished roads so that no one will think that they are finished and...
  5. Missing texture fix

    unyxium
    Two missing textures were spotted and have now been fixed. (tree stump splinters and some grass).
