smokedog3para 365 Posted February 14, 2011 More Realistic Hellmand 40x40 at the moment but might scale it down Hi all im currently trying to make a more realistic map of hellmand province with its mass production of heroin and cannibis fields with the big tall wadis and tight street and alley formations making up the compounds with big metal double doors on entrances . i would like the battles to feel more like you see on you tube fire fights from compound to compound roof top scenarios and open ground movement some times not even seeing the tally just hearing those lead wasps flying over loads of cover in the surrounding field borders but when you have to move in open ground your the target. Also have another map in production that is a tunnel and cave system map what torabora should really have had ive cut segments out the hills then put rocks through and over the top to make the cave system gives a diffrent kind of feel to the fire fights Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3157 Posted February 14, 2011 I'll probably convert my Lingor island to Whingola (for all the desert-loving whinners), a full desert island with couple of green patches... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smokedog3para 365 Posted February 14, 2011 Icebreaker nice work you do fella will look forward to your new 1. Good to see so many projects out there just hope there all come to fruit. i know i felt like chucking it it a few times mainly down to the tools not being so friendly or just crashing but keep a cool head have a smoke get back in the zone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tupolov 520 Posted February 17, 2011 Here's an update to my map... Created a pretty cheesy trailer to showcase the terrain and features. Enjoy!

beton 2 Posted February 17, 2011 Wow, Tupolov... great work.... :) i think it´s time to open a new thread over at the "addons and mods discussion" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkxess 60 Posted February 17, 2011 Tupolov .. great vid! bad news for me though is that YouTube and Veoh is blocked here in good old China, lol. I used a proxy to see the one on YouTube, nice ... Anyways, ive got 3 maps in the works! (working all 3 back to back) why? cause its my new hobby and im enjoying doing them, lol. The maps im working on are Kandahar / Musa Qaleh / Nahr-e Saraj All 40km maps. More news will be coming soon in the wip thread for them here! Lucky to be back on track after yesterday crap with the ArmA2P troubles :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tupolov 520 Posted February 17, 2011 Added a thread to the Addon Discussions... Will contact Armaholic once its in Beta! Dark - respect, that's a lot of work. This 10x10km has taken me since October... Determined to get it finished before end of March. Good luck with your maps, don't be afraid to scale back! I found focusing on a few short term objectives has helped me avoid the feeling of been overwhelmed by the amount of work to do. Cheers, Tup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oktyabr 12 Posted March 3, 2011 I'm finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel on my first map... "Isla Del Fuego". It's loosely based on Montserrat in the West Indies and a good deal of inspiration comes from Icebreakr's Lingor as well as Prowler's Mana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldbear 390 Posted March 3, 2011 Vostok and Winter Vostok are nearing public release and intensively tested by my ADO Clan's mates. I have switch back to Tigeria. I have rebuild the terrain one more time, I have lost count of versions since 2009, November 12th . Half covered with tropical forest -Berghoff's African Foliage of course-, featuring high mountains and boat-able long rivers as well as huge mangrove area, this map is slowly populated with towns and villages, sometimes only small hut villages -using IceBreaker's huts port from ArmA and BIS ArmA2 and OA buildings as well-; the island, I must say the archipelago is hosting a lot of air strips, 2 of them able to accommodate huge planes such as the B-52.

oktyabr 12 Posted March 3, 2011 Oktyabr great, any sneak pics err peaks? ;) Well... I'm really not that far yet, spent most of my time trying to get the HF to look something like what I wanted (it's completely made from scratch... no DEM datas were used) and then the last two days tweaking road networks. Now I'm messing around with african foliage and see first hand how difficult it can be to use them optimized and still have some of that tropical feeling! Also looking for the right buildings... Anyone have any simple grass huts they can spare? But how can I refuse a request from an artist who's work I admire so much? ;) (I've spent literally days in Lingor and Duala... and Mana... trying to get a feel for what is possible yet still playable.) clicky thumbnail things: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gunny1987 0 Posted March 9, 2011 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jarl_hruodbhert/sets/72157625168087247/ I have to make a correct config for clutters, finish some village & town and then I will release a beta with some mission. I will also make a sommer and winter version (if is it possible to use summer and winter vegetation...I have to ask permission). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bushlurker 46 Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Screenshots look excellent, Gunny... Sat layer looks particularly good... Theres a full pack of BIS summer vegetation already available here... Link is to the first page but if you flip to page 3 you'll see theres a (not quite final) version 1.0 out now... I'll be using this pack in my own main project, and I believe Beton is using it on one of his forthcoming project - so it's likely there'll be at least one more update in the future... (I've been tweaking quite a few of the trees)... B Edited March 9, 2011 by Bushlurker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oktyabr 12 Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Bad Benson said he wanted to see some screenshots of my "Isla Del Fuego" I'm working on so here they are... Be forewarned that these are from a VERY "beta" stage and I'm aware that there are some obvious problems, even visible in these screenshots (need a full rework of sat_lco, mask_lco, and my tree masks... and some vertice smoothing to start with)... Comments and suggestions welcome! http://img858.imageshack.us/g/ss286.jpg/ EDIT: Big thanks to Old Bear who pointed out it didn't look like I was using a "middle texture" and then taking the time to help line me out with it!
