sgt m.stonebridge 38 Posted March 6, 2016 This is an age old argument concerning this thread, it's been active a long time but a nun see's more action than this mod to be honest. The mod author has said it's still going but doesn't post updates showing screen shots or anything else as such. To me this mod is dead by all accounts and the topic should be deleted.

rip31st 98 Posted March 7, 2016 You are the ultimate authority, delete the thread per Stonebridge because he's a mod right. Patience has no virtue. I'll start a new one when I have progress to post. Oh wait, here's some progress... Terrain features are still in work. More Buildings on a town scale are being built meaning the big cities are pretty much complete. Were working on the smaller towns and small details with lots of vegetation and foliage. It's a LOT of work as previously posted. I guess you don't understand. For those that have patience, they do. There's multiplayer testing on terrain objects this coming week. You won't be part of that. There is a select group. It's released when it's released. We divuldge details when we see fit, not you. Maybe a video soon, maybe not. This is probably the biggest mod ever for this game engine. If you want to wait, then you'll wait, otherwise, move along. It's only been since 2008 we've been working on this. What's a little more time for something big? 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My bad on that and sorry for starting the "This mod is dead" thing. Also how big is the map? Is it more than 1600Km2 which right now is the biggest custom terrain for arma 3 I believe?

Some modders just disappear and never tell that their mod is canceled , postponed or whatever.. Of course it's not your fault but that creates a culture of people waiting for a mod forever and the modder don't bother informing people. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rip31st 98 Posted March 10, 2016 Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know that you were actually continuing the project without posting progress. My bad on that and sorry for starting the "This mod is dead" thing. Also how big is the map? Is it more than 1600Km2 which right now is the biggest custom terrain for arma 3 I believe? That's only 40 km x 40 km. Ours is 327.68km x 327.68km. If someone makes one bigger than that, good for them. It's not a contest. We're doing this to create a realistic feel for time, distance, and scale. You can take a C47 for a 45 minute flight across the channel. Radar can give you time to scramble fighters to intercept an incoming bomber run. There's plenty of ocean for ship's to have long range engagements. Etc,etc. I would feel great sympathy for them considering how long it would take to populate it with objects. Hahaha we've been working on ours for ever now. I guess someone could do a barren desert and call it good to go. Goodluck with that right! :) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atunero 44 Posted March 11, 2016 I'm following this thread since the beginning, i assume that making such a big map take a lot of time, i hope to see some screenshots when possible. Good job. ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aenigma 13 Posted March 18, 2016 I have been away from Arma for a while now, and only just started looking back into the mod discussion forums. This mod really does have the ingredients to be fantastic. I wish you all the trouble free coding you can get guys :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorribleGoat 1473 Posted March 19, 2016 You guys are really stretching the limits of the engine! :D Fantastic work!How well does a huge map like that perform? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rip31st 98 Posted March 23, 2016 Performance is quite good. We create our terrain textures by BIS's standards. You'll need an upper end card as areas are dense with objects. On the Eiffel, it's a giant stair case. Not sure if we're going to pursue installing lifts. Maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorribleGoat 1473 Posted March 23, 2016 Performance is quite good. We create our terrain textures by BIS's standards. You'll need an upper end card as areas are dense with objects. Great! I remember reading that big maps tend to start suffering from coordinate errors and stuttering but if youre still maintaining playable performance that is superb!

rip31st 98 Posted March 24, 2016 If you have a big map with coordinate errors it's because the terrain grid wasn't calculated properly which will result in randomore crashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lato190 55 Posted March 27, 2016 Glitches...big map... I mean if you're experienced in making big maps then you already know what they are. If you don't use proper calculations for your terrain grid, then there's going to be all sorts of issues. This map however loads quickly, has high FPS, and does not have any positioning issues you're describing. I am aware of what you're referring to. It happened a long long time ago when I first started building large maps so I avoid using those variables that cause that issue. hello rip31st, can you explain the part with proper calculations please? i am playing around with terrain builder and could create successfully small terrains with objects (tho still i want to learn more), but when i create 100km x 100km terrain, i have issues with low quality textures and freezing when placing AI in right upper corner of the map (must exit with task manager then). Can you please explain what terrain grid etc. you uses? another question: how many objects do your map currently uses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rip31st 98 Posted March 31, 2016 You should check the A3 terrain editing section of this forum for your answers. Tutorials there will explain and guide you through the process of setting up a map properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1stLt Marsden 1 Posted April 5, 2016 This mod seems like a huge undertaking. Its awesome to see that the team is still working hard after the years put into it.
