It is 2010 just saying.

Looks awesome though.

Huh? I think he means he's gonna finish it before the end of the year.

Map looks good, will it be 1 download, or will it require a bunch of other huge downloads to make it work?

[the_antipop 10]

Hey mate, looking good.

Just curious, what area of Uruzagan are you focussing on? Around Tarin Kowt? Over to the west around Deh Rawood or the north near Baluchi?

Also, if you can, try not to use objects that require CAA1 download, or other island. If you can stick to OPX, OA and Mikebarts Veg, I'll be one happy man.

Here is an archive of images from the Australian Defence Force, look through the 'Afghanistan' pictures, all of which are set in Uruzagan. http://www.defence.gov.au/media/download/archive.htm (Search trough 2010, of which will be image galleries, read description to see if they are Afghan based pics)

[jeza 5416]

Nice work pall, loving the compounds

[AnimalMother92 10]

Will the OPX stuff be bundled though, or will it be necessary to download Arma 1 islands to extract the files we need?

[minimalaco 30]

the truth, not if pbo from OPX to the final file can be added. if it can, serious wonderful.

[Fox '09 14]

Don't unless you're using 1-2 objects from it. I'm not

Downloading 200 megs of files I already have

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

From first post it looks like he's using numerous OPX things, although I must say it'd look superb with OA items/buildings.

[minimalaco 30]

new pics:

oa buildings and objects will add, them in the end. fps depends on whatever loses.

Looks good, I'm glad you're making green zones, pure desert maps don't have a hell of a lot of mission possibilities.

[Requiem007 10]

Excellent screen shots there! I'm really looking forward to playing this when it's ready to be released. Great work, please keep it up!

lamentably, I believe that it cannot be possible to make a zone green as it must be. when joining many plants in a same sector, the game collapses. this is a real shiittt !!! :mad:

Looking good! with your vegetation try to randomize the size and orientation of the object;) will give it more of a natural look. That can be done in Visitor3 in the Natural objects menu if I can recall correctly

It sure can, and it's important to do so...

Right where ebanks says - in the "Natural Objects" menu - you can set an upper and lower scaling limit for each species of plant or tree individually, and every one you place will be randomised in size between those scaling limits...

Likewise theres another tickbox and set of parameters for setting randomisation of orientation - so by setting both of these parameters for all vegetation you'll get a much more natural look... every plant or tree you place will be randomised in orientation and size within the boundaries you set.

If theres a certain plant you want to be all the same height - a crop plant for example, then just untick the randomise size box for that one - they'll all be 100% standard size - you can still tick the randomise orientation though - so every plant will be rotated differently... even crops have some variation...

Theres one slight drawback though - even if you go in and set these parameters now - they won't affect any vegetation that has already been placed - only stuff you place from now on...

Looks really great, a shame about FPS problems in those poppy fields though.

[minimalaco 30]
