-martin- 10 Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) Taviana Island (1.0) Released! Dear friends and fellow community members, Today is a historic day for the ArmA community. A few years ago when playing Operation Flashpoint I had a dream - a vision - of an island perfect for any kind of mission. An island with breath-taking scenery, features that have never been seen before – such as a 2 kilometre suspension bridge, underground train station and large cities offering the most complete urban experience, but also a beautiful and detailed countryside. All this was to be crammed on to a single island, big enough for epic air battles, with enough space for epic sea missions, but detailed enough for spectacular urban combat. But best of all, this was all to be in my own back yard – Eastern Europe.I called this dream Taviana. Now after almost 2 years, approximately 10 000 hours of work and many setbacks, it is my greatest pleasure to inform you that Taviana Island is now officially complete! These two years have been an amazing, unforgettable learning experience for me, as well as an accomplishment of my great dream. I had great fun creating this add-on and now I hope that you also have an unforgettable experience and many countless hours of fun! - Martin For a complete book of information regarding Taviana Island, please refer to the Taviana Island User Guide PDF file contained within the addon archive. For more information, click the button bellow: Language Location and population Taviana (Officialy: Tavianska Sovjetskaja SocialistiÄiskaja Respublika - TSSR– The Soviet Socialist Republic of Taviana) is an island country situated in the Baltic Sea approximately 120km off the coast of Lithuania or Kaliningrad. It has a population of approximately 1 500 000 inhabitants of who 90% are ethnic Slavs called “Rustakiâ€, Russians or Poles and 10% ethnic Lithuanians. The capital and second largest city of the republic is Sabina which is located on the Southern coast of lake Umag, has a population of approximately 150 000 and has the republics main international airport. Flag http://shareimage.org/images/9gx78qk9k0ntuymheony.jpg The official spoken language on Taviana is Tavianian (Tavijanski Jazik) which is an Eastern Slavic language written in a variation of the Belarusian Cyrillic alphabet. Lithuanian, Russian and Polish are also officially recognised languages of the republic. Religion The largest religious group consisting of 70% of Tavianas population are Orthodox Christians, the second major religious group in the republic are Catholics consisting of approximately 15% population where as 15% of the population have no religion. Independence and the revolution Following the 1917 uprising against the Tsarist autocracy Taviana gained independence from the Russian empire and established a Socialist government lead by the SPT (SocialistiÄiskaja Partija Taviany – The Socialist party of Taviana) to the present day. A 50 meter statue of Lenin was also built in the capital cities main square called (Sredmestje Vladimira IliÄa Lenina - The Square of Vladimir Illich Lenin) to commemorate the 1917 revolution. Economy Approximately 50% Tavianas economy consists of the extraction of natural resources such as oil and gas which are drilled mainly on the islands North coasts. Fishing and farming form another 35% of the republics economy while heavy industry such as metal works, chemical plants and shipyards from the remaining 15% of the economy. Wars 874 – The first recorded conflict on Taviana took place on the site where today’s port Molotovsk stands in the year 874 between Slavic migrants from the East and native Nordic inhabitants which were eventually forced out of the island. 1240 – 1241 – In the year 1240 Norwegian forces invaded Taviana in an attempt to conquer the island but were forced out one year later in the final battle that took place on the fields of Stari Bor. 1015 – In the year 1015 the Roman empire launched a series of failed attempts to conquer the island. 1600-1611 – In the years between 1600 – 1611 Taviana was invaded by Swedish forces during the Polish-Swedish war but where forced off the island by Polish forces in the battle on the fields on Novi Bor. 1625-1629 – In the years between 1625 – 1629 Taviana took part in the Polish-Swedish war fighting on the Polish side. 1914–1918 (World war 1)- Taviana remained mostly untouched by World War 1 although some conflicts were fought in Prussia and Kaliningrad in attempts to seize the provinces from German control. The years between 1914 – 1918 also saw the Bolshevik revolution of 1917 which gave Taviana independence from Tsarist rule and in which the Socialist Republic of Taviana was born. 1939–1945 (World War 2) – World War 2 was a very dark chapter in Taviana’s History. The island was invaded by the Third Reich which forced the Socialist government and the Taviana armed forces in to exile in the Soviet Union where the Taviana armed forces merged with the Red Army and fought against the Third Reich. While fighting continued the Jewish population of Taviana was deported to death camps in Poland while the native population of Taviana was forced in to labour, manufacturing weapons. In the last phases of World War 2 Taviana was liberated by Red army troops and surviving troops of the Taviana armed forces who reinstalled the socialist government. 1945 onwards – From 1945 onwards Taviana saw a large number of Lithuanian, Russian and Polish migrants feeling from the destroyed European mainland who took on the task of re-building the republic. Today Taviana is still one of the Soviet Union’s key allies and serves as an important strategic location for the Soviet Union as well as a important submarine repair base.

lao fei mao 21 Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) I just tried the island, amazing details, thanks for sharing it with us, and I'd like to vote it the best non-BIS island ever. But I also encountered some stutter problem while I running in the city "Sabina", at the same time, the ArmA2OA.rpt file keep writing lots of "Error: Vertex shader ID out of limits", if this could be fixed, that would be better.

sickboy 13 Posted November 5, 2012 Congrats on the release! Updated on SIX Updater Network http://play.withsix.com/mods/312-taviana BTW the included BIsigns all are v1 signatures instead of v2 (http://sickboy-six.blogspot.nl/2011/11/v2-signatures-bisign-and-bikey-what-is.html) Also the usec_rig doesnt have a BISign at all. Also all BIkeys are missing. As service to our users and mod authors, we always make sure we have working v2 signatures, as such the addons on our network are signed with six_taviana and six_taviana_objects bikeys respectively.

scanwj 1 Posted November 5, 2012 Congrats on the release of Taviana! Such an awesome map to run around on. A few little bugs I've noticed. In the castle town of Lyubol' (grid ref. 104086), there's some floating rubble within the grounds of the castle. Additionally, within the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour on Lake Slepac, a tree is clipping through the eastern wall along with grass replacing the tiling in that section. The Church of Saint Ivan (grid ref. 156121) looks like it's abnormally large. Essentially, you walk in and feel like a hobbit. Grass textures have also replaced the tiling in that church and there's significant clipping when you walk in too. At grid ref. 168114 within the castle, you're unable to climb the western set of stairs along the wall, and instead clip through them. Finally, within the square behind the train station at 151156, there's zero grass foliage on the ground. One last thing that seemed a little quirky. One of the ships moored at grid ref 150070 has a kangaroo painted on the side indicating it's a Royal Australian Navy vessel. It seemed a tad out of place for the setting. Again, fantastic work on the map :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
