Messiah 2 Posted April 14, 2013 It's a peninsula, we're connected to Germany, after all.

HunterUK 10 Posted April 14, 2013 My Apologies guys :o. I spent a few months in around Jutland when I was in the British Army in the 80's, a time I enjoyed very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem :) it happens a lot happy you enjoyed it. Were you a part of operation nighthawk? or was that later? Must have been in the summer since it always rains and i can't enjoy it :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HunterUK 10 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) yep and the one in winter Viking :) were'nt far from Randers in the winter one, I loved the Danish Rations Etc :) I was thinking the landscape , terrain etc would be great to use in Arma 2 and Arma 3, and use one off the small Islands as an enemy base so we can attack them by what ever means. Not a Fan of this Arma 3 Island to be honest. I have Idea's but cannot mod :(( Edited April 14, 2013 by HunterUK ADDED MORE WORDS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 410 Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) I would stay away from arma 3 Map making for the moment since we don't have the proper tools just yet, and since this would be your first map. Check this link out it should have most things you need to get you started. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?152993-Need-help!-What-programms-do-i-need-to-make-an-map-on-arma-2-CO heres another link which is was extremely helpful for me when I started http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?94222-Resourcelink-collection-How-to-make-a-map-beginning-from-the-idea-in-your-head Edited April 15, 2013 by M1lkm8n Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroG 23 Posted April 15, 2013 Well, I wouldnt say stay away...general tools like Global Mapper also have to be understood in parts...plus you can spend quite some time obtaining and converting proper RL data. As for Jutland, I guess its too big to be mapped in your lifetime. :) Consider detailed 400 square km with 2-3 million objects as a maximum the average CPU can handle and a single person can create in half a year with some hours a day, meaning you have to shrink the region by the factor 75 or so... To make it easier, I would choose one of the smaller islands or island groups around DK for starters... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Messiah 2 Posted April 15, 2013 I'd suggest Fyn, but it's a flat and horrendously dull place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 410 Posted April 15, 2013 Well, I wouldnt say stay away... Sorry I didn't mean completely :) I was thinking it may be a bit easier to learn all that stuff while modding arma 2 since all the tools are available there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HunterUK 10 Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Yer Thanks ZeroG, I may look at the schleswig - Holstien area which is in the North of Germany not far from Kiel Canal as well which also is an Idea Place to use, good terrain etc there. Very similar to Chernarus but without to mountains , ideal for Amphibious Assaults, Air Assaults etc:). If anyone is Interested in helping me with this one please Pm me. Thanks for all your feedback. Here is the info :- Area • Total 15,763.18 km2 (6,086.20 sq mi) and here is the link:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleswig-Holstein Edited April 15, 2013 by HunterUK added more info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
