Taviana Island for ArmA 2!

[armatech 8]

keep it up mate

[Jarinator90 10]

But getting drunk in the Kotva would be very dangerous because of really narrow way home... :D

-Martin-, you should team up with Mondkalb :)

(he already knows how to make the bar a busy place)

:)

-Martin-: mmmmm, very nice objects! How many hours do you put into making all of the new objects?

It doesn't take me very long to model the objects, the Kotva bar took me about 3 hours to get to how you see it in the screenshots and it will probably take another 4 hours to finish it with geometry and LODS. The main problem is finding the time.

Well, I just hope that we don't accidentally go for a swim when the bar gets busy as Janitor90 said :biggrin:

May I ask how many polygons the most detailed object on your island is?

Thanks. :)

Hmmm that's a hard question because it’s hard to choose from all the models.

But I would say that the most detailed model at the moment has 12960 polygons (and 9302 vertices) in its first LOD. But since the model isn't finished yet I think I might have to split it up in to two models later.

Thanks, -Martin-!

-Martin-: 7zipped filesize?

[-martin- 10]

-Martin-: 7zipped filesize?

No idea, I never compressed it in 7zip. But in .rar format it has around 290MB.

But I don't think that’s too much for a quality island like this, if people want features they can’t expect a 50MB file. Besides 300 Megs is nothing these days, I can download that in a few minutes. :smile:

What do you think?

I can download 500GB to have Tavianna...

[gossamersolid 155]

This is looking really awesome dude, cannot wait to play it :)

keep up the good work.

[grub 10]

You just do your thing and don't worry about filesize.

300 meg is not alot

I don't recall anyone complaining about the filesize.

300 megs is nothing :) great job -Martin-!

[jw custom 56]

Holy smoke you really took care of the details with this map :eek: :cool:

This map is screaming for mission makers

[topas 1]

Hey -Martin-, did you find any use for the pack after all, or did you decide it's too primitive maybe?

[grub 10]

For the record I wasn't saying anyone had, just if anyone did then ignore them. :D

[-martin- 10]

Well I'm glad that the files size is ok, to be honest I was a little bit worried about it. :o

Well most of the stuff in the pack is quite low polly but so far I found use of the kiosk. But because right now I've been working on an urban environment I was just using my own models, although later when I get back to villages and the countryside I'm sure that I will find use for more of the stuff in the pack.

Here is a screenie of the kiosk:

Ever thought about where all those tanks and vehicles that you blow up in your ArmA 2 missions go to when you finish playing? They go to this scrap yard on Taviana:

300 megs is nothing Martin. This mod is looking AMAZING! Keep it up!

Some mods out there like I44 and Vietnam and ACE are between 1-2 gigs and people download them like candy. Hell I think I have a unit pack that is over 300 megs.

[Rovka 14]

New realism integrated into the Armaversum, complete with occassionally inverse working Victory-Toilets. Enjoy moping away a slain foe per day!

I would love to see the freshwater-tap's trickle turn into blubbery body fluïds, red 'n smelly aswell. Thereby instantly humiliating my fallen enemies, and doing so Taviana-Style!! :D

So where can I find the nearest Sewage-Treatment Plant to properly dispose of those freshly shot-to-crap enemy corpses in order to achieve that nice brutal Tavian traditional Victory custom again??

On a serious note though: This map's gonna be another of those damn fine longtime classics! Well done!!

[topas 1]

go to this scrap yard

Oh.... you Tavianians should be ashamed of yourselves...A crappy scrapheap next to a lush forest... Not nice... :P

On a serious note; Glad to see the Kiosk back ingame after so many years :) Say, did I send you the various textures for it or just this on your screen? I remember having several versions ready for P'85; a grocery, newspaper, icecream, household goods and flowerhsop when I remember correctly... I know all the names are in Polish, but since Tavianian is an invented language being a mix of the slavic ones, I suppose some Polish would fit. (I did spot a 'slon' in the kid's book, so Polish is already there)

----------edit--------------

Yes, I do still have those as it seems :)

Will pack the .tga's up and send you. Sorry, no .psd's after all these years...

Nope you only sent me the one on my screen, would be great if you sent the ones on the screenshot, they look amazing and will fit the island perfectly.

Yep, all I will have to do is change the old Slavic Latin alphabet still used to write the Polish language in to the little bit newer Czech version so it’s consistent with other writing on the island. But I won't change the words; I think it’s good to preserve history.

EDIT:

So where can I find the nearest Sewage-Treatment Plant to properly dispose of those freshly shot-to-crap enemy corpses in order to achieve that nice brutal Tavian traditional Victory custom again??

I thought about a sewage treatment plant too, if I find a sensible place to put it I will make it, but putting it 10 meters beside a residential area probably wouldn’t make the residents too happy.
