Very nice,great job. bit heavy on the extra addons but nice you added them in. do any off the module's work on it like civilians and vehicle module?

[s@ndbob 12]

Vehicles, aircraft and units are built, but they are not part of the map.

[Guest]

Is it possible that you provide an archive without all those additional addons and instead add links to the required addons in a readme?

Many authrs do not want their work to be repacked with others without their permission, you should include a readme about all those addons and also keep in mind people now need to download over a GB of data of which the chances are they already have all those addons.

Think it over ;)

[s@ndbob 12]

@Foxhound

I do not understand.

I make it no different than the other map makers... Lingor, CLAfghan etc. etc. The buildings are part of the map.

Why people should search all building addon itself?

Many objects are also of myself that are listed there.

Should I this then omit from the list?

The best way is, I leave the list away completely.

If people want to download it, then they do that.

I want people just decrease the work and deliver the whole package.

[Guest]

Nevermind....if you think this is the best way I wont discuss it.

I hope people will enjoy the works :)

Release frontpaged on the Armaholic homepage.

Gulf Of Aqaba Map v0.1

[intermaus 10]

Vehicles, aircraft and units are built, but they are not part of the map.

Interesting !

So, there are units and vehicles too. Is this gonna be a full mod or different standalone addons ?

[s@ndbob 12]

a little is in progress, but not finished.

[DerBiwi 10]

Love it Bob. Great to see your project becomes "adult".

What are the next plans for you except the camps and buildings in the north?

[s@ndbob 12]

build Jordanian soldiers and many camels.

Israeli soldiers we have already.

Terrorists we have in Spain Mod.

A very impressive terrain indeed, you have captured the vastness really well. Great work and thanks for sharing it.

Only slight problem I have so far is the greenhouses/glass houses, really drain fps, look in one direction away from them and I’m getting 90fps, look back at the glass houses 35fps, that’s a large drop. Only happens with those glass houses, may of course be just my pc not liking them for some reason, not sure.

The rest of the terrain performs really well.

There are parts that are absolutely beautiful, really great job you have done.

Thanks again.:)

[s@ndbob 12]

Thank you for the report.

I will check the greenhouses again.

In the next update it will be repaired, if there are errors or over-capacity.

[chrisb 196]

Just a tree in the road on the r/bout in the royal residence there. Haven't seen anything else yet. Look forward to your findings concerning the fps drop, if there is nothing wrong there, it must be something my card or cpu doesn't like.

[s@ndbob 12]

Thank you for your attention.

The tree is gone in the next update.

The greenhouse I add to distance LODs.

I fear that the plantations and the thousands of trees are also resource-heavy. Maybe I halve the number of plantation trees.

[chrisb 196]

To be honest I didn't find the trees that heavy, just the greenhouses. Nice to hear regards the update, looking forward to it.

If I see anything else I will list it here for you.

[Valken 622]

This map is incredible. I was wondering if this map will be AEG compatible? So at night we can have working street and house lights? I'm sure it would be beautiful view looking down from the sky.

[aviatormoser 6]

Oh my god....will download and port Insurgency to it now.

[aviatormoser 6]

Map looks great! Something is killing my frames though when I'm not zooming in. Could it be all the trees?

[dalber24 142]

Thanks for this map, is an excellent work, I look forward to the next update.

[s@ndbob 12]

To be honest I didn't find the trees that heavy, just the greenhouses. Nice to hear regards the update, looking forward to it.

If I see anything else I will list it here for you.

Hi Chris,

I tested with 500 greenhouses that were actually some CPU-heavy.

The greenhouse I have improved with distance LODs.

Download them mis_ind the new file and move them into the @MIS_GulfOfAqaba\addons folder.

[chrisb 196]

That certainly makes a difference, fps much better now looking at the greenhouses.

Thanks for the update to those, can go plant some tomatoes now ;)

[buenaventura 10]
