Darkguerilla 10 Posted April 8, 2011 I'm wanting to create an island that is a recreation of the Bahrain-Saudi Arabia "Border Island". I looked at your tutorial, but it won't work in my case. How can I create my island? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroG 23 Posted April 8, 2011 Why wont it work in your case? You can choose any place in the world? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkguerilla 10 Posted April 8, 2011 Well for one I have no idea what I am doing, two: this island is on the causeway from Bahrain to Saudi Arabia and does not show up on Aster, three I think there is something having to do with shaders and exe that has something to help operate bulldozer that I don't have correct. The island is flat and shaped alot like a dog bone. Shape: "O=O" kinda. Length: 2 miles maybe sits kinda cockeyed http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/6666/collagenova.png I plan on recreating it and naming it Nova Island. I'd like to think it would be like UTES except no airport and this is a man-made island that will be urban/industrial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exikutioner 10 Posted April 10, 2011 So when I try and get the sat img from UMD, it only downloads one image. I put all the values in dd.ddddddd format. Tried different zoom settings to no avail. The only way I can get UMD to download more than one image is to leave out one of the Lon/Lat values. I am using the full version of UMD 6.62. Any ideas?

ZeroG 23 Posted April 10, 2011 To be honest, I always copy and paste coordinates 1:1 from Global mapper to UMD with the same format as you describe....and always download 12000-48000 files?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laminator 10 Posted April 12, 2011 So when I try and get the sat img from UMD, it only downloads one image. I put all the values in dd.ddddddd format. ... Take care to use the correct decimal-symbol. I accidently used "," instead of "." and had the same problem. In my case it should have something to do with european decimal settings or so. regards Laminator p.s.: thx ZeroG for this great tutorial, really curious for the upcoming parts:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroG 23 Posted June 17, 2011 Hello folks! Well, with ARMA3 on the horizon and (hopefully) better editing tools, I will continue my map creation-accompanying-tutorial with that release, as my A2 map would surely still take 3 months of daily work, which I don't have at the moment and which I see in vain once A3 is released. However though, I will continue to write tutorials, no matter which version of the game :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[aps]gnat 28 Posted June 18, 2011 Well, with ARMA3 on the horizon and (hopefully) better editing tools !! :confused: 12 or more months for a possible release PLUS another 6-12 months wait for any tools .......... that is a long time in the ArmA2 world.

ZeroG 23 Posted June 18, 2011 Gnat;1958758']!! :confused: 12 or more months for a possible release PLUS another 6-12 months wait for any tools .......... that is a long time in the ArmA2 world. True. But at the moment, I am focussed on working on a Warfare improvement and as I said: finishing my map would take at least 3-6 months, if I WASNT doint anything besides that project. After the release of A3, A2 will soon be forgotten about...just look how many threads there are already! So, continuing on such a big project as my map will be useless, as too few people will actually use it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wessix 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Hi guys, First of all great tutorial! After trying a lot things for several times and f*** around with the folder structure of my island i've reached a point where I can say "lets start doing something that will look great" ;-) I have a Addition to the tutorial, If you use GM you can make the Streets from the downloaded Vector-Layer broader via Tools>Configure>LineStyles, that will save you some work in photoshop or gimp. Ok i've reached a lot so far, but still there are some questions, I'm from Germany and would appreciate to talk or write with someone who is still doing island building for arma2. At th moment: how can i move vertices of e-G. a wood placed in visitor3 or make more sophisticated areas than a square. Please Write me a PM or answer to this. Also wenn jemand das liest und am Erfahrungsaustausch interessiert ist. Ich würde mich freuen, denn zusammengetragenes wissen bringt einen gleich viel weiter. Grüße Wessix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
132nd.Holloway 10 Posted July 6, 2011 Hey ZeroG I'm following your map making tutorial and I ran into a problem. When I use the Universal map downloader in your tutorial you get 2 big pictures that you had to combine and it was real high quality I used the 17 zoom as well and got 1 tiny picture 256 x 256. So if you know would the source of the problem is could you please let me know. Thanks for the tutorial as well its great. Thanks, Holloway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
