I too, have fallen waaay behind because of 2 missed weeks of school due to having the swine flu twice, so my DMI lot is far from done.

Don't be silly, they haven't even made the swine vaccine yet.

Pretty sure they have, it was on the news the other day that the vaccine was now being given to high priority people, eg elderly people with underlying health problems.

I took advantage of the holiday break and got some lots in. There are now 17 layers succesfully in the map. It still looks quite empty though. I have a few more to add and I think that will be all for the betas that were submitted to me.

I plan on adding the rest of the lots, adding in Mav's sides, adding some Urban Map stock buildings, then calling it quits. I just don't have the time/energy to do much else with it. I plan on doing most of this during Christmas Break, so hopefully the map will be uploaded by the end of the year.

A big thanks to all those who submitted, DMI would be just be an empty field without you!

Same here. My lot that I sent you was kinda a place holder. The lot is still cool, and if I don't get another one to you, that one will do just fine. But yeah, I may send one too.

I added a deadline, July 30th, 2010 for lot submissions. Any submissions later than this date will not be guaranteed to be put in DMI Version 1.0.

I wish there were a more attractive way of spelling it though, hmm

Diemai .. nah reads like Die-My
De'mai .. nah sounds like duh-my
Diamai .. mmm better. too many i's and a's going on though


Or we could have an artsy name like Alaris or Avaria.. . but I think I am subconsciously taking these off pharmaceutical brand-names.

Or do we just call it Dynamic Map Idea. .... I think this was discussed once and we settled for Dynamic Map Idea.

EDIT: I got it, lets call it DMI; 3 letters, easy to remember. I don't know if this is a joke or not. I'm interested in what others think because this is not a city of me it's a city of weee -- oh I mean "we."

My lot is about 1/3 done, do you care about if it has any 'features' or just want buildings?

Whatever you can do is good. I suggest keep working on it till you get bored/till it gets close to end of july then send it to me.

how many lots are still open? If I can get a lot would someone be willing to make a .obj file from sketchup ready for BF2?

I'm 99% sure that Blender can import .obj files but the textures might not come through....
