Edit: F*ck, this is way too epic! Yeah I had a texture problem too, but solved it enabling the A3MP map pack. Really awesome map :D Love it!

Rich_R 1087 Posted August 27, 2014 Just had a quick run around the map....wow, wow, wow, wow! You can see all the effort you've obviously put into it....very nice. Sangin really feels like the wild west; hills, vegetation....it comes together really nicely. The terrain works so well with the different villages as it stops you from getting a clear line of sight as you approach adding to the obvious tension. Arma 2 Sangin was great map, but you've taken advantage of the more organic feel to the Arma 3 terrain and made Sangin an incredible place!!! Like the guys above, I needed to use my A3MP to play it (and I still had some texture errors) but once in it ran smoothly. A few texture errors popped up as I roamed, but nothing to crash the game. I had good performance as well. Not sure if its your map or the Arma 3 engine but those wheat fields looked and 'felt' awesome! Amazing stuff...thank you for your hard work and I can't wait to see the finished project!!!! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingoftheSandbox 10 Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) great overhaul of your project, thanks alot! my biggest concerne, as i allready said, was that you cant play with AI on this kind of map. just tested some areas with AI, -definitly big improvments which help AI with pathfinding. however, the OA walls are still a big problem for AI. in some areas you can not use the route u want to, because AI cant climb over the OA ones, even if low. i suggest that you make sure that there´s allways a small hole in the longer OA walls to ensure that you dont have to search a completly different route to proceed to your target. keep up the great work! if you dont know what i mean, i cant send you some areas or a mission with repro of course! weed fields is the same sadly, they are so close to each other (the plants) that AI cant find a way through.

thesn4k3 47 Posted August 27, 2014 Any rough idea on when you will release the stand alone version? The map looks amazing just waiting to use it on my dedicated because of the size of a3mp. Regardless, keep up the great work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neodammerung 8 Posted August 27, 2014 It would be really good if tall walls wouldn't flip over themselves when they're getting destroyed and land in a strange position (and everyone can then walk trough since there's no collision anymore): I guess it's not your map's bug but the A2 assets ported to A.

Rich_R 1087 Posted August 27, 2014 LOL...had the same thing happen to me when my helicopters tail touched a wall as I was landing in a compound. Have to say though, this is probably the nicest 'beta' map I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mihikle 2 Posted August 27, 2014 It's because the walls are ports from A2 mate, therefore don't have PhysX. A3MP has the same issue. However some of them do already have it, and smoke is working on getting them all higher than 'standard'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Sullivan 5 Posted August 27, 2014 ALiVE is working on the map ? OPFOR and Civilians ? I will try this later this night or tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m1lkm8n 410 Posted August 27, 2014 Actually I don't even think the physx have anything to do with the walls falling in that weird direction. It's because bis added another destruction type = wall to the list. So a2 used tree a3 uses wall now. So being its a direct port from a2 then it'll randomize the falling like a tree. I'll talk to smoke about it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHuachuca 10 Posted August 27, 2014 Is 5x5km big for a map? Like is it as big as takistan? Sorry I don't know really much on measuring sizes on arma 3 lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich_R 1087 Posted August 27, 2014 Not sure if I've been away for Sangin too long or if it's my imagination, but this version of the map 'feels' bigger than the original. I put it down to there being more rolling terrain in this version, you can't see as much from one place and that makes it feel bigger. Regardless, this isn't as big as Takistan.

miketim 20 Posted August 27, 2014 Tristen 5km x5 km is not particularly big, but sangin is very detailed for its size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laxemann 1673 Posted August 27, 2014 Is 5x5km big for a map? Like is it as big as takistan? Sorry I don't know really much on measuring sizes on arma 3 lol Not really "big" but the details make it appear larger than other maps. Some maps consist of 200m with almost no objects and just flat/simple terrain and appear to be rather small when playing on them, Sangin however has so many details and terrain bumps etc. that it feels kind of overwhelming at first :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
