bracer 12 Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks for the comments everyone! It's all good ideas, redarmy. But as you say, I'll leave that stuff for missionbuilders to save performance. What do you think about the nighttime lightning in the video above? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redarmy 422 Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks for the comments everyone!It's all good ideas, redarmy. But as you say, I'll leave that stuff for missionbuilders to save performance. What do you think about the nighttime lightning in the video above? I think the neon lights and in general lighting looks fantastic. All the community made maps i find in arma are always good,usefull,able to work with etc... But this map is....unique. I say this as a person who sees maps generally better the bigger as it suits my mission making preference. However as i refererred to GRAW2(Nostalgia) from my kiddie console days,i see this map as excellent for my "small man team" missions. I will be adding in many objects to work with when making missions but it takes nothing away from the grandness of this map. very impressive and first true urban map iv seen(fallujah aside,but again different).

nikiforos 450 Posted September 30, 2014 Nice progress bracer. Does the map look better in A3? Or this is what we can expect? Regardless it looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bracer 12 Posted September 30, 2014 Nice progress bracer. Does the map look better in A3? Or this is what we can expect? Regardless it looks good. There is some texture issues when I use my models in A3, some are blurry until you get very close and some custom transparent textures disappear. But that should be solveable. On a more abstract and subjective view; I find the ambience from the Arma 2 configs better looking to Minihattan, can't really explain why.... It gets darker and grayer in A2? So I need to work a bit on the lightning in the configs when making the A3 version. The high poly vehicles and weapons from A3 of course make my buildings look like Nintendo 8-bit, so Minihattan would look best in OFP. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bracer 12 Posted October 8, 2014 Hey guys! I'm aiming at releasing v0.5 this weekend if I manage to fix some interiors and some small details before that. I need your opinion on one detail before the release of v0.5. Do you prefer windows with light or dark during night time? The difference is small in the following photos, but the light ones can be lighter or the dark ones darker aswell. Lighted windows http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/541880981165455782/973DCCA5950C90B6F4DF0FB19D558C93593F6002/1024x640.resizedimage Dark windows http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/541880981164780847/E868B29BCA493B0FE6E6E60D62B7696F305C622D/ Finally Minihattans street lights are working in Arma 3! Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phronk 898 Posted October 9, 2014 At least some of the windows should look like the lights are off inside the building, kind of like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/NY_skyscraper_at_Night.jpg Will probably look very repetitive though if you use the same skyscraper window layout for every building.

nikiforos 450 Posted October 12, 2014 You know you could put some parked cars on default. It will make the map more alive. What do you think about that? Looks great ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bracer 12 Posted October 12, 2014 You know you could put some parked cars on default. It will make the map more alive. What do you think about that?Looks great ! Yeah, it makes the map look alot better. So I would do it for looks! But unfortunatly I think it's better to create a missiontemplate with those kind of details for two reasons: -If I place them in Visitor they would probably be indestructable and static. -Performance. Should be very easy to create a template with all the details (cars, furniture, people) you would like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bracer 12 Posted October 13, 2014 I'm sorry to say that the update will be on hold for a few days more... I need to fix a few bugs that showed up and finish two new buildings. I would also like to solve this issue: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?184288-Z-fighting-or-texture-error Any help would be appreciated!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bracer 12 Posted October 19, 2014 Now it's finally time to release the update, Minihattan v0.5! Expect plenty of bugs and unfinished stuff, but it's well on the way to reach an acceptable status! :bounce3: I release now because I reached a milestone, and the next one is quite far away. What's most important is that I almost reached 30 unique buildings, which can be combined and create a large amount of variations. This means that with some work it will not look like it's repeating. What will be worked on from now is interiors of the buildings, which means both graphically and AI-paths. And the big part will be working on a proper terrain, making proper alleys, parks, different districts and so on. Download link will be up in a 15 minutes!
