Warpo 10 Posted May 28, 2011 If it is to be a Czech language, so there are couple mistakes. Otherwise the island looks very pretty and I can't wait for the official release. Probably the most beautiful island in to Arma 2. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-martin- 10 Posted May 28, 2011 If it is to be a Czech language, so there are couple mistakes. I know, I'm Czech myself, but the language on Taviana is not Czech. I was talking about the alphabet used on Taviana. For anyone whos interested: Basically Czech and Polish was written in the alphabet that Poland still uses now, but in the 15th century Jan Hus updated the old alphabet and created the Czech alphabet which we use now. The new Czech and old Polish alphabet was also used by Ljudevit Gaj, to create Gajica which is used to write the Croatian language and a variant of that is used to write Slovene. Anyway 'nough of the history, I'm going to work on Taviana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Archosaurusrev 12 Posted May 28, 2011 Holy shit, this is very detailed. I hate Chernarus just because every town and city except Chernogorks are all nearly the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-martin- 10 Posted June 3, 2011 Is this map as insanely detailed as it looks? lol Yep Btw guys, more screenies and a map of how much progress I've made so far comming soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alkar Cammer 10 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Thanks. Also, does this map have a big airport? Another thing, will the AI be able to follow and stay on the roads correctly? I know it won't be perfect because of the BIS engine, but still, you know what I mean. The four lane roads though.....that's what I'm especially wondering about.

grensvegter 10 Posted June 3, 2011 This is looking awesome you mentioned in the tu95 thread that youd like to fly it around your map,are you having a proper large airport with hangars to house that beast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it won't be perfect because of the BIS engine, but still, you know what I mean. The four lane roads though.....that's what I'm especially wondering about. + This is looking awesome you mentioned in the tu95 thread that you’d like to fly it around your map, are you having a proper large airport with hangars to house that beast? There will actually be 2 or 3 airports on the island (2 for sure and maybe the 3rd one too), one will be on the main island with a decent amount of space and 1 or 2 runways and a second much larger airport on the second island which will definitely have enough space for the TU95 as it will be a military airport with lots of open space. The third airport might be a simple flat patch of land for small aircraft like Cessnas but I don't know if I will find a place for it. The airports will also have custom buildings. Anyway here is the definite location of the first airport: And the second airport (don't mind the straneg colour): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belgerot 33 Posted June 3, 2011 This is one of the most innovative approaches to creating an island that I have seen in a long time, I'm always eager to see more progress and am pleased with what you've done so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sv5000 127 Posted July 8, 2011 Looking Good -Martin-, I love the detail behind the island, adds so much more to the immersion. Bring on the updates! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicago 13 Posted July 8, 2011 Amazing work -Martin-. I have to agree with sv5000 the details look fantastic. I like to see that you decide to create the island so varied Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-martin- 10 Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) So gentlemen, the time has finally come! New screenshots! Sorry for taking so long but I was very busy on the island, after this there won't be much to show anymore because all I will be doing is fixing up models and getting ready to release the beta. So let's get started: This is a statue beside Tavianas University of science and mechanics, based on the GDR (DDR) coat of arms. If you ever want to buy a Lada, Zastava, Škoda or any other Eastern Bloc car, this is the place to come! The national auto saloon in the capital of Taviana. This is a memorial to Planck who passed away last year (R.I.P) The train station in Novi Bor (modern and electrified, not like Chernorus) A Škoda CHS4-052. Now this isn't my model, my friend found it on a Russian train simulator site, free for download with permission to use it in non-commercial projects. (Thanks to the author) Some freight wagons with logs that will soon be transformed in to furniture and newspapers. Another shot of the train station in Novi Bor, and what a surprise, my coaches are there too :blush: A W.I.P swamp beside a sewage processing plant Looks like one of the drains at the plant is overflowing... Anyone one wanna a buy a house? Castle Čtirglav, based on fort Nehaj in Croatia (http://www.croatia.ch/zanimljivosti/images/100207/100207_clip_image002.jpg) I bought that red Lada and took it out for a drive (note the custom traffic sign, you'll be seeing a lot more of these on the island) So that's it... Anyone up for some Taviana Pivo?... (damn I just realised that I forgot to texture the wood with bread and salami) (hope I don’t get a bollocking from the admins about this one) Enjoy and please leave your thoughts.
