BANTIKOW V1.0 FS17
The map was converted with fs15 and converted to fs17. Crops and cattle farms were added, as well as points of sales and purchases. 3 fields with grass remaining 22 with crops. All fields are yours. The tasks of farmers are not. The gates on the hangars and on the wickets are opened with the left mouse button.
-One door at the building where the Case tractor is at the beginning, does not work.
-Two back doors right next to that “case building” at the farm, south side from the water trigger, where you could load your tractor trailers, do not work.
-Doors at the first cowshed doesnt work.
-At the BGA, next to the domes, there is some thing stuck on a building wall.
-Also almost every water ditches or “rivers” and lake doesnt have any bushes on the shores, just couple of trees. That doesnt look realistic.
-Mud ways and roads are done really lazy (mud texture just painted on ground and grass only beside it). Just compare that to the F13 and F15 versions.
-Short mud roads next to old bridges between fields (south from the lake) look ridiculous. Keep the old bridges, but remove those short mud roads and add grass on them.
-Mud hole in the middle of one of those roads is just ridiculous, remove it, or make the hole more shallow. (not every puddle is meter deep! especially while the mud texture is clearly dry.)
-Large building at the end of main road (on the east side of the map), which was not on the original map, have wrong scale (it is too small.)
-Ditch and bridge, east from the pigs, doesnt have a water drum.
-Large storage building east side of the farm is not in right place (the pathways goes to wall, not to doors!)
-Every single hay bale stacks around the map MUST be removed (it is ok at the place where you can sell your excess haybales). Players can create their own bales and stack them wherever they want. No need to decorate things like that for the player!
-Also decorative manure heap at the cows needs to be removed. Players can shovel their own manure heaps!
This should be big farm with huge fields, but all the tractors and tools player get at the beginning are for the small farm. Change those starting vehicles to slightly bigger versions and add more of them.
So far im not impressed. While the original map had that “lovely” and ugly east germany communist feel, this map have lost it completely and instead it have west germany feeling. This map conversion is done lazily and not to respect the original map.
Also where are the credits for the original modder?
Just a suggestion… Lakes and some of the ditches are too deep and in multiplay almost begs all the trolls to drive all the vehicles into them. Make them more shallow, and change the lake to a forest.
Sell trigger for the vehicles and tools at the vehicleshop doesnt work. (is greyed out, didnt try the customization button)
