Taviana Island for ArmA 2!

[World_ 10]

Congratz Martin!

Damn it! I must change my shorts

[mondkalb 1087]

I claim the town to be mine!

I glitched out of the tunnel, sorry.

More proof:

Getting in there was a bit nasty. Roadway lods and GeoLods seem to be missing. Also I had many missing texture errors. But still, I am astonished by the texture and model quality.

Regarding the riddle I knew that proper caves and underground structures and the like aren't possible, so I just looked around the map screen for a suspicious formation of rocks, and found it. And I didn't even need to evade some giant rolling ball or Nazis driving British tanks. But I kept my Fedora on anyways. :)

I shall be declaring the name of my town soon. If I am allowed a humble amount of time to consider a suitable name.

But, since I'm quite familiar with how island design works and this may have given me a slight advantage in finding this structure, I am willing to pass on the reward to the next person who finds the "Tombe of Doom" after me.

LOL Mondkalb :) nice find.

[Blackfox34 14]

bastard. I just downloaded it 2 secs ago and you already found it :-D

EDIT:

Alright just played around with it and it looks magnificent, great atmosphere and great work all around. Can't wait till full release. I ran into a few geometry issues however, but it is still alpha. I took screen shots for you, so you can know what to fix if you aren't aware of it. Left some descriptions of the problems too. Hope I can help.

Damn only a few hours after its released and he find the tomb :butbut: Nice one Mondkalb, just PM me with the name or post it here when you decide, you can have s much time as you need and the town is yours. But I might have to make the name a tiny bit eastern European to fit in. Also thanks for making that multilayer texturing tutorial on BIS Wiki, I'm gonna be using it on some more buildings later on.

Thanks a lot, I'll have a look at it when I get back from Spain.

Nice work and congrats on the release. I took some screenshots hoping I could help and find some errors.

It seems like nearly every custom model is missing a finished geo lod. I was able to walk through almost all of the custom buildings except the school. I was also able to knock over many of the buildings in the city using a tank. The bank/office building at grid 154-158 is one of them.

Here are some pics of the issues and locations:

Also, when I started my game I got an error. I was still able to press ok and start my game but it was very slow and buggy.

I tested the map while I was on teamspeak with a few of my buddies who were also testing it, we all had the same issues.

Hope this helped. Again, really nice work on the map. Looking forward to the next update. Thanks for all your hard work. :cool:

Hi Martin

Thanks a million for this, looking forward to exploring the Island this weekend

Hope you're having a great holiday :)

Just downloaded both files without difficulty... except that MegaUpload just made my sh1t list. Clicking on the free download button results in a pop-up to some site called playpoker.com - WOT intercepted it with a full set of red warnings (privacy, child safety etc.).

Try again, first quick glance at the Island is amazing!

Cheers

its still alpha, but still awesome

[der_baer_fm 0]

You really captured a "feel" of a very oldschool eastern bloc country.

Even De-Stalinisation did not make it there!
