ollem 4 Posted January 4, 2011 Tnx for the great feedback, outdoor combat is just awesome :) We just finished a 2.5h coop mission on TB and a real blast! A combat patrol from Garuntha to the town of Jool Hul. Some very exciting long ranged firefights from hilltop to hilltop and severall times we all of the sudden had an enemy patrol right on top of us. Flanking around hilltops, really diggin it (if i can say that of my own map lol).Anyway, im trying at the moment how the map is without any horizon texture as the fog and objects popping up might be better without it. If not, i will aply Takistan horizon. The full mission on this awesome map (starring map-maker Chill XL himself) can be found here: ('a long walk around... ;) ') GwvQTKSxHls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcnools 62 Posted January 4, 2011 Nice video! I just watched Restrepo yesterday, reminded me alot of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ollem 4 Posted January 4, 2011 It's no coincidence it reminds you of Restrepo: the mission and the Outpost in part 5/6 and 6/6 were inspired by it :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcnools 62 Posted January 5, 2011 Will the next update provide support for ambient animals aswell? It would be nice to see some randomly-spawned herds of goats around the village-areas. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chill xl 10 Posted January 5, 2011 For the next update i'm woking on Alice support to spawn civilians. I have seen goats and cows so far without any specific work on it... Otherwise i might add it in a future update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcnools 62 Posted January 5, 2011 Ah, so ambient animals does work? I honestly haven't tried it. Anyway, placing goats etc. manually isn't much of a problem :) Looking forward to the next update! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chill xl 10 Posted January 5, 2011 Just "baked" a new version to test the Alice civ module... the towns are now "living" :) Anyway, i guess u need to add / drop the right module for the animals on the map to get it working of course. I'm also thinking about redoing the sat map as i'm not satisfied with it, distant does not always match what is seen close by, hope to be able to fix that whikst not losing the nice color feel of the map that is mentioned sometimes.

mcnools 62 Posted January 5, 2011 Sounds nice! I have noticed that the distance doesn't always match what's seen close by, but I hope you can keep the same colouring mostly, I like the colours alot. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sowens 71 Posted January 5, 2011 We copied our toolset over, made a few changes in some positions and had Enemy AI spawn automagically all over the map. Its perfect and had some nice fights just the way the map is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissileMoose 10 Posted January 5, 2011 Hey, I've just re-downloaded this as you've updated it, I must say I absolutely love it! I only have one problem as I run OA-Stand alone, the road textures don't show and it gives me an error saying file not found... I'm not sure if it's been posted before, but I really hope that you could fix it! :D -MissileMoose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ollem 4 Posted January 5, 2011 Post #15: I have been messing around with roads prior to this release. Still need to learn alot there... However, as far as i know at the moment, i can only add Arma 2 roads making this map a Combined Ops map only (it now is only dependant on OA). Still not completely sure what to with this...

Chill xl 10 Posted January 5, 2011 Tnx for the report, unfortunally i cannot "fix" it... The roads are from Arma2 as OA roads arent yet available to me/us mapmakers. Only way is to get Arma2... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpw 2315 Posted January 5, 2011 For the next update i'm woking on Alice support to spawn civilians. I have seen goats and cows so far without any specific work on it... Otherwise i might add it in a future update. I can confirm that ambient goats/cows are present. ALICE support would be great though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnimalMother92 10 Posted January 6, 2011 Will the next version use the OA sky texture with the snowy mountains? Gotta say, I'm really loving this map, good work. Looking forward to ALICE support/other improvements :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcash2009 0 Posted January 6, 2011 I dont know why I took so long downloading this map, its excellent. Perfect for C130 script action / DAC / and general flying and hunting. Great work, BTW that 6th Sense mission video was also a great watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fingolfin 1972 Posted January 7, 2011 I've found the time to check out two more villages today... Circle: bush sticking out of the floor Square: rock sticking out of the floor Cross: ground/building sticking out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chill xl 10 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Tnx again for you reports. I've just uploaded my latest version to the Six updater, it will soon be available. Version 1.5 * Roads are a bit smoothed * Support Alice module, Takistan civilians can now be auto spawned * Tweaked sat & mask map, still some minor flaws here and there though * Added Takistan sky textures, horizon is removed (somehow takistan horizon will not work) * Cleaned up towns, most building should be clear of objects and ground now * Possibly more but i forgot it :) Cheers Will try to get it to Armaholic this weekend...

mcnools 62 Posted January 7, 2011 Sounds nice! Looking forward to seeing it on ArmAHolic. :) Shame the Takistan horizon won't work though. Would it work to use the Takistan sky but the Chernarus horizon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcnools 62 Posted January 7, 2011 Just spent around 40 minutes hunting Takiban mortar-squads on the peaks of the Kambanush-mountain with my Tier One-team, this terrain is really scary, got two squadmates taken out by enemies hiding behinds rocks and bushes right next to us. Excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EddiePrice 16 Posted January 7, 2011 Nice work on the map Chill, it's really coming along. Found a bug with version 6 in MP: Clientside version: Version 6 via SIX updater Server version: Version 6 via SIX updater I've doubled checked, reinstalled and tested several different missions with the same issue. Objects placed in the mission editor, aside from playable units, appear 5 feet in the air. Only happens in MP not in the editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galzohar 31 Posted January 8, 2011 Did you try to open and re-save the mission while running the latest version, to make sure all editor positions are updated in case terrain was changed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
