Mynock 244 Posted August 13, 2015 Good looking map. I like it. Not sure if it's on Arma's end or your guys end when making the map, but in some of the buildings the rain sound randomly switches to sounding like you're back outside then goes back to sounding like you're inside. Not sure what the deal is with that. Not really anything that prevents one from playing the map, just odd sounding to me. I was also curious if there are plans to change all of the structure doors to being closed? I realize you're going for the post apocalyptic theme, so maybe that's part of it, but having nearly every door hanging wide open seems a bit strange to me personally.

kan 11 Posted August 13, 2015 Hiya I don't know if its possible, but are you able to release a version of this map (and your other maps) that is interdependent of massive downloads like the mammoth 6.4gb download for the all in arma terrain pack? A lot of my friends have very slow internet speeds and that size of download is just too big. We are not interested in additional units, vehicles or anything like that. We just want to use the terrain as a setting for our Zeus missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pulstar 55 Posted August 14, 2015 Such maps could benefit greatly from ambient sounds not included with Arma. Remember STALKER's creepy atmosphere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dakaodo 52 Posted August 26, 2015 EDIT 2: Got so caught up in mid-mission-building that I didn't balance out my post. So I'll start with how much I appreciate this map. The detail is amazing. Terrain contours flow well and are very natural. Objects and debris/wreckage are very artfully and strategically scattered around the landscape, roads, and towns. Some nice landmarks and isolated buildings. I love the touches that show erosion on roadways (nearly lost my BRDM on a scouting run!). The ruined resorts look fantastic. Even with my problems below, I love this map. I really look forward to seeing the remaining portions of the map that I can't access right now due to crashes. I spend most of my time in the editor these days, it feels like. But I had to take the time out for a few playthroughs of my WIP UN aid worker rescue mission (with Ryan's zombies and demons, like most new zombie missions recently released). Day or night, sunny or overcast, this map is gorgeous. In case anyone is interested, 15 minutes before sunset (or after sunrise) with 0.8 fog and 0.75 overcast (with 50-100 bloom) makes for a pretty eerie / infernal red fog. I deliberately used setTimeMultiplier 0.1 just to make the 20 minutes of sunset last longer. :D I also forced no NVGs with flashlights forced on to make the darkness creepier. But the map is also wonderfully moody with 1.0 fog, 1.0 overcast and pouring rain. Issues: Is anyone else getting crashes near Plava Vrana Military Complex? I've tried it with only AIA terrain and Esseker mods loaded on version 1.50 (not dev). Walking in on foot up the road (from the south side), from the east, flying over, etc. As soon as some object in the location comes into line of sight, the game crashes every time. Last line I get in my .rpt file is:16:39:15 Bad simulation fire, type Land_Campfire_F (class=house), a3\structures_f\civ\camping\campfire_f.p3dAlso, an unrelated error, I get this in editor but doesn't cause immediate crashes: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicleClasses.ES_Old_House_low01'.Let me know if more info is needed. EDIT: Upon further playtesting with just the map and a single playable BLUFOR rifleman, I found more areas that caused the game to crash:headed westbound into Kulagrid 051980x 5198y 5231headed eastbound towards the power stationgrid 037972x 3732y 4410west side of Esseker Industrial Zonegrid 081986x 8133y 5818 Entering the Pilana sawmill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobile_medic 43 Posted September 6, 2015 This map is excellent with excellent performance. I would love to see ALiVE compatibility, personally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaykePC 5 Posted September 6, 2015 It is a very well done map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted September 8, 2015 Great map, just one problem for me. I have no idea what could be the cause, so lets take a look. At the town Gulash, everything is fine for me. Graphics are only on normal to high, some things on very high. But, when i drive East down the main road, about under a minute in, i start getting serious lag spikes. Then, either at some point it Freezes my game forcing me to shut down Arma 3 entirely, or it just crashes the game, and forces it to CTD anyway. Not sure what it is, not sure if it's loading something up, but for now, this map is completely unplayable for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adios113 11 Posted September 29, 2015 Hi guys. Im in the middle of creating a modpack for the Arma Community I am a part of. We've stepped on a problem with your map, causing AIA and other maps using Arma 1 content to come up with this error message: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/423693713849737107/550BD52FAF6A4F0BB6EA066E89A9EC291096A5A3/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/423693713849736769/B306489DCFBA74E74ABB531EFD24C1927D658C56/ This problem does not occur with Esseker disabled. It prevents us to use your map in our modpack, because it may cause some crashes while changing the map. The only map outside the AIA on which this errors are coming is Mogadishu. Is there a way to fix it? Am I doing something wrong? I hope that together we can find a solution to this problem. Thanks. PS. I started the game with only AIA and Esseker - same error shows up, while launching Arma 1 maps. It shows only once and after I reload the map, no errors occurs, but still some random crashes while changing the map itself are occuring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cosmic10r 2331 Posted September 29, 2015 Adios... I remember that problem... it is actually related to a config file from aiatp. Read this https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/171988-all-in-arma-terrain-pack-aia-tp-a1a2oa-terrains-from-bi-in-a3/?view=findpost&p=2723477 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adios113 11 Posted September 29, 2015 Okay! Thanks for a quick response. I understand, but which config file are we talking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cosmic10r 2331 Posted September 29, 2015 My guess would be esseker. Although as I type this I realize I finally got esseker the other day and use aiatp and don't have that error... is your aiatp updated and is esseker... I think latest is 0.7.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adios113 11 Posted September 29, 2015 I got AIA 2015-01-01 Hotfix and Esseker 0.7.0.5. Looking more into the mod configs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cosmic10r 2331 Posted September 29, 2015 Hmm... weird... thats an old aiaTP thing that I havent seen in ages (sure that got fixed)... i remember when it was happening to me tho which is why it immediately seemed familiar... As stated in that post... If you can find where in the configs its pulling that from then you are good to go after you take out the destruct line for that object. edit... i just loaded mine and it seems fine ... do you get the message on load of the editor or after working in it...

adios113 11 Posted September 29, 2015 Aight, found it in AIA's buildings_c.pbo class Land_Benzina_schnell: House { icon="\ca\buildings\icons\i_fuel_ca.paa"; displayName="Fuel Station"; animated=1; armor=400; model="\ca\buildings\benzina_schnell.p3d"; nameSound="building"; accuracy=0.5; cost=0; mapSize=7.5; destrType="destructBuilding"; class DestructionEffects: DestructionEffects class Land_Fuelstation: FuelStation { supplyRadius=3.3; ladders[]= { { "start", "end" } }; }; That's what i found and I really have no clue, what line should i delete from it.

I dont think that is the right config, altho I'm not sure. class Land_Fuel_tank_big: Land_fuel_tank_small { animated = 0; armor = 50; model = "\ca\misc\Fuel_tank_big.p3d"; icon = "\Ca\misc\data\icons\i_fuel_CA.paa"; displayName = "$STR_DN_FUEL_STATION"; nameSound = "fuelstation"; accuracy = 0.5; // transportFuel = 50000; /*I think this line is causing problems */ destrType = "DestructEngine"; }; And im just basing that on it only coming up with esseker enabled... altho it is strange that you are getting that error but i am not... i got the latest off steam 2 days ago I think when steam finally started installing the mod packages properly for me.

adios113 11 Posted September 29, 2015 Aight, I'll look for this inside Esseker config files, thanks for you help, buddy. Much appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adios113 11 Posted September 29, 2015 Wow. Found it inside the CST_Infrastructure.pbo -> Objects - > Fuelstations -> config.cpp And indeed it was being overwritten by this wrong config. Deleted the fuel line in both classes, saving and I am about to test it. I'll give you guys some heads up if it works. Problem solved - thanks, cosmic for help! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't touched Esseker since that post. I just checked for any updates I might have missed. I'm up to date on Esseker and AIATP. Fired up Esseker and sure enough, as soon as any of the above locations enter my drawing distance, my game crashes and I have to kill the process in Windows task manager. So nothing's changed. I'm now running Arma 1.52, fyi. I don't know the first thing about map editing or de-pbo to fix it myself. I noticed that Esseker has been processed as a map for ALiVE objectives, which is awesome and suggests people are successfully playing on it. Does this mean that other people are able to play this map without crashing the game? If so, can anyone point us at where to find the fixes? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
