Yes, those buildings will get another roof texture and a trim texture on their walls (to fit the roof texture better).

I haven't made these textures yet so I just used the wall texture. But it's going to be replaced soon.

About the third screenshot, that's the area I'm currently devoting a lot of time on. Nice to see it shows. :smile:

I was looking at snapshot 2. I think the top of the "bunkers" or whatever the small buildings are, could use either (A) a few more textures, or (B) more detail. Most buildings have a standard of 3 materials (textures) but the small buildings were a bit simplistic.

I love those wall tiles in shot3. =D The tile real good with the size of the object.





Yippie Ki Yay!

That looks really nice actually, I really like the wall tiles for some reason, it makes a change from seeing the normal brick / plaster / concrete that most maps use.

I've worked on the inside of Sector Gamma:

You probably refer to lead-poisoning, like the Romans had?

Mmh... I see iron needs 1,5 as much length to halve radiation as lead. Still better than crete, though... water needs 2 times the lenght crete needs to halve gamma-radiation.

I guess, in protective suits, they use different materials. As far as I know, the higher the density of the material, the less is needed to halve the radiation. There might be other factors as wel, though.

About my map, soon I'll give out some more screenshots of the inside, wich I'm reworking (if only I didn't had so much tests and exams on school now).

Doesn't being surrounded by lead do something bad to you? Didn't they used to use 'lead paint' in houses, but there was some kind of problem with it? If you use lead to protect you from the gamma, do you need something else to protect you from the lead?

Well, actually... concrete doesn't stop gamma rays. Not that effectively. 5 cm of concrete halves the gamma ray intensity... Lead does a better job with 1 cm.

Um no. obeveously lead does a better job, however it is far to expensive to use as a construction material. I believe a couple meters of concrete is usualy favored over a couple centimeters of lead, unless the application requires a very small mass or volume of shielding, such as protective cloathing.

Concrete in nuclear reactors is there to protect the structure in case of explosions. The Chernobyl reactor did not had a concrete shell around it, so when the disaster happened an enormeous part of the roof was blown up high.

After the melt-down, a concrete bunker was built around the still active reactor. That bunker is called the 'Sarcophage'. That's the concrete thing you see in the first screenshot. The one with the vertical concrete beams.

Well, soon I'll have some new screenshots of the reworked inside. I've worked on the layout of the inside last days. I'll put some more trains in the outside bytheway, to provide some more interesting combat area (extra cover...)

Nuclear reactor = reinforced concrete everywhere

got to stop those gamma rays :smile:

Mmh... cinder blocks...

I was dubbing about using cinder-blocks on an outside building, I'm gonna do that. As for the inside... I guess I'll have to do some more research on how old industry buildings like these were constructed... I think cinder blocks could do some but not on all faces here.
