Briliant idea mate, but I guess this needs expanding. How about topic named "Custom constructions" or something similiar, where we can share our wicked ideas :D ?
I'm personaly going to add my FlaK88 Position, wooden bunker and other stuff.

Nice idea. If people want, also share the names of the objects and the way how you used them to create what you can see on the specific picture.

This is my contribution:

(http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/6069/oiltower.jpg)
It's an oil well derrick, created from many many wooden fence posts, an iron beam and some power boxes alongside a pump.
I will use it on a map situated in the oil fields of Maikop.

I have a brilliant idea guys! Stamp those objects and upload the stamps so everybody can use them in their maps!

Where are stamps saved?

Here: My Games>Company of Heroes>ww2>Data>WBData>Stamps>Temporary

You should rename the file and post a picture of it before uploading them so we don't get a mess here...

I also had that idea, but unfortunately, my stamp tool always messes with the fence posts so they are relative to terrain and not adjusted anmore.. Otherwise, I'd do immediately  :)

Is that your new map you're going to contribute to EF?
Title: Re: Creative object compositions
Post by: Lord van Dalen on January 09, 2012, 06:23:41 PM
Yes, it is. The small bridge is on the border of the map. The big one is just a prototype. I've uploaded the stamp, so you can see how to do bridges like these.

And another advantage of it is that it can actually be crossed by both vehicles and infantry. If it wouldn't be in the offmap area ;)

Here is a little something a threw together (inspired by this thread: http://www.easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=7525.0 ) out of parts... I'm not happy with the roof as yet... You can still see the 'chassis' of the trailer for the radar/com dish... I would like it more if there was some suitable flat panel of metal to mount it on (I don't like the idea of a completely empty roof either). Obviously, such a building wouldn't be functional as-is... What I've done would have to be used a 'base' to create a unique structure from (I have no ability what-so-ever to do that myself).

(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/233/strongholdbunker.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/266/strongholdbunker.png/)

I'd make a 'stamp' available, but I can figure out how to get the thing to actually save as such... I open up the 'stamp' tag from the tool-bar, but nothing I do seems to let me actually "save" the building :(

Post by: jonarus_drakus on August 02, 2012, 11:04:04 AM
If I knew how to save stamps I could upload it so you could see just how much detail I added (thar be stuffs added inside too!)...

The only issue with it in-game is the fact that it is multiple buildings, not one... But like I mentioned, that level of work would be beyond me... SO I'll be satisfied with some help figuring out how to get stamps to actually work :P

Title: Re: Creative object compositions
Post by: MonolithicBacon on August 28, 2012, 03:23:00 PM
I was looking over this recently and it reminded me of something I built years ago. Here's hoping it's relevant!

This was for a series of "alternate history" maps I made, considering if Operation Sealion had gone ahead. I made a whole series of locations in Britain, with the stamp in question being Liverpool Cathedral (in reality the fifth largest and second longest cathedral in the world). That being said, these screenshots don't give any justice to the sheer scale of the building. It's huge.

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g185/Daevie/17.png)

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g185/Daevie/18.png)

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g185/Daevie/19.png)

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g185/Daevie/20.png)

You'll have to forgive the very poor spline, fx and splat work, but as I said, this is a very old project.
Perhaps what I loved about this the most however is that the brick wall sections of the cathedral (under the archways on the third screenshot) are easily destructible, and there's nothing quite like having an intense infantry fight within a massive ruin, when a panther busts through the wall next to you, sending rubble everywhere.

Post by: neosdark on August 29, 2012, 06:49:19 AM
I would suggest you show this map (and any other Operation Sealion maps you made) to Lord Wiffleby over on ModDB. He runs the 1949 mod (which I'm chief weapons historian for) and part of our story line does include Operation Sealion so your maps may get a place in that mod.
Title: Re: Creative object compositions
Post by: MonolithicBacon on August 29, 2012, 12:21:43 PM
Thanks for the head's up but if I were to even dream of getting these maps out in the open, I'd have to do a hell of a lot of work to them. Most of them have the early-creations issue where the map border is just too small, and stamping whole maps is a pain in the arse. But maybe once I've finished my two current projects (Korosten and Teterev) I'll pop over to modDB.
Title: Re: Creative object compositions
Post by: jonarus_drakus on October 11, 2012, 11:05:59 PM
Just a quick little update to that 'stronghold' building I made... I gots stamps to work, and to celebrate I came up with an updated version!
Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?26pbw4d4762487g

((The following images and descriptions are for 'example' purposes only. Only the 'generic version' is included in the Mediafire download, obviously, for this to be anything other than a cool looking building, far more work (and skill - that I don't have) would be needed, this is by all means nothing more than a 'suggestion'))

Image (generic version/none):
(http://imageshack.us/a/img211/8605/strongholdbunkera.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/211/strongholdbunkera.png/)
This is the 'base' building, with no upgrades of any kind. It would function as a larger version of the (un-upgraded) Wher bunker, having a garrison population of 12 (4 squads - eg: 4 MG teams). The 'upgraded' version would retain this function, but would also gain doctrine/CP specific unlocked upgrades.

Version 2 (Doctrine 3/Improved Comms):
(http://imageshack.us/a/img443/3484/strongholdbunkerb.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/443/strongholdbunkerb.png/)
This version has been given a "Listening post" upgrade, giving it a stealth detection radius equal to its base visual radius. An addition possibility would be a passive 'comm intercept' ability (Like Brit SAS 'Ultra Decryption' - But with a limited radius).

Version 3 (Doctrine 2/Ostkrieg):
(http://imageshack.us/a/img690/2779/strongholdbunkerc.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/690/strongholdbunkerc.png/)
"Watch-post" Upgrade - The spotlights represent a significant boost in the buildings visual radius (But NOT detection), there-by alowing garrisoned units to target hostile units from further away (Making the most of their range increase from the 'Ostkrieg!' CP ability).

Version 4 (Doctrine 1/Brandenburger)
(http://imageshack.us/a/img440/3441/strongholdbunkerd.png) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/440/strongholdbunkerd.png/)
"Flak-turm" Upgrade - The building gets a flak battery (Either the quad shown or an Ostheer 'single') for AA and AI area denial. It is always manned, even if the structure itself in un-garrisoned (Though if that is OP, then its wouldn't be in-appropriate to require a garrison presence). The 'Brandenburger' ability (suggested) requirement is to represent the requirement for trained gunners for the flak. An additional option would be to make the Brandenburger unit itself trainable from the building.

Text wall much? I know, I know... :P

I use Photobucket. Once you've uploaded a picture, it will give you an [IMG] code. Just copy and paste that here directly.
Title: Re: Creative object compositions
Post by: krupp steel on October 22, 2012, 03:42:19 AM
I think I would go for attachments then, i don't feel like going through the trouble downloading Photobucket right now.

But anyways inspired by derkap10's building stacking i created a "hotel like" building with a balcony cafe about 10 stories high.  Unfortunately ingame you can't really see the roof or top floor, but thats what the heightmap editor is for.

Title: Re: Creative object compositions
Post by: MonolithicBacon on October 22, 2012, 07:36:39 PM
You would definitely need some coding to stop it from being garrisoned and to stop destruction of the bottom parts of the building. My Cathedral had the same issue; after a barrage or two, walls are left floating.
Title: Re: Creative object compositions
Post by: krupp steel on October 22, 2012, 09:15:38 PM
You can just put these of buildings as a OOB object in the unplayable area of your map, probably i guess since they are very tall and big and bugged...*shugs*
But as far as i know you cant enter any of the top floors or destroy them (unless v1 or howitzer  ;D) , since each building block ( i think i had over 50 of those ) acts as a shot blocker so it would take an awful long time to turn it into rubble.

PS.  Isn't there a blocker object that prevents buildings from being garrisoned?
