Hi every one,

 

I would like to thank all guys who worked hard for Unsung mod. A very best of!

 

I would like to add my humble contribution by making what is on my scope. I hope this mission will give you as much as pleasure i had to script it:

Has this been released on the Steam Workshop? If not will you release it soon?

Doubt it will EVER be released on steam.  Sorry!

[chas gate 23]

Will this mod be restored to the arma 2 ratio were it has the same maps and missions.

 

i want the old map from arma were you had the airfeild with every thing

[hcpookie 3770]

Ratio?  If you are asking will we import more stuff, yes when we get a chance.  These things take more time than what mere mortals can provide.  A map can literally take YEARS to develop.

[eggbeast 3684]

right now, we need some new volunteers (WITH MODDING EXPERIENCE) to form a a small team (with assistance and encouragement from the old hands in the team) to convert our maps from A2.  We think we know how it can be done, but it needs a couple of guys to take on the challenge.  PM me and sav (sgy_savage) if you are interested.

[eggbeast 3684]

The team has recently expanded to take on Skelig (who worked on the WW1 mod among other things) and who is proving himself extremely valuable in the weapons porting team (with me, spock and von knudenberg), and NZDFCrash who is helping with a variety of stuff like our unbinned O1 bird-dog and OH6 Cayuse, the artillery, and a NZ faction.

 

We're still looking for more people to help speed things up.

 

Likely release candidates are:

 

This may vary so don't mortgage your house to bet on the outcome!

When will the planes be relesed?  Want them soo bad....Keep up the good work!

[Alex150201 894]

Doubt it will EVER be released on steam.  Sorry!

Any particular reason why you won't release it on steam?

[eggbeast 3684]

we'd rather not have this discussion if you can accept that. Let's keep the conversation on the mod content

[eggbeast 3684]

some of the planes will be in the BRAVO release - detailed two posts above yours!

[zukov 490]

we will see the MIG 21 from nightitruder?  :D

[eggbeast 3684]

potentially. we'll have to talk to him about it, though it won't be sporting R73's!

Hi Eggbeast,

 

In your project roadmap during BRAVO phase you mentioned updates to the Da Krong map, curious what sorts of changes do you foresee? I already think the map is one of the best, updated textures after Tonoa release, expanded and made larger?

Nah m8, the only true thing that will change is the final release of the location of the tunnel system to the public XD

[chas gate 23]

if you guys are willing to teach me i could try and learn how to port the maps over or if you can try the all in arma crew who ported all arma 2 maps to arma 3.

[pierremgi 4889]

- new realistic persistent MP co-op nam mission by EW

 

If I could help... this is my great pleasure.

[eggbeast 3684]

re map porting - we are working with binarized maps, so they need extracting and recreating - tedious, labour intensive work - we need a couple of guys who are prepared to learn, stick at the job, and work together to port 1 map in maybe a 3 month period.  then they can have the pleasure of adding to those maps forA3. andthey will win a place in the teams heart lol.

 

re Da Krong changes -

mostly little fixes as the map is already perfect.

examples are:

- enable boats to pass unharmed under bridges - DONE

- add southern gate to the Camp Sarge - DONE

- widen northern gate to Camp Sarge to allow an M113 to pass inside - DONE

- etc etc

[stephsen 79]

i've noticed on Da Krong that the shadows from the sun has a problem with the trees and bushes when i move or turn around then blink it so strange sometimes.

[eggbeast 3684]

yeah that's a generic engine thing i think. we all see that even with ultra settings.

we're also all finding ultra settings are better performance-wise than the lower settings.

if you have a bit of lag, turn the settings HIGHER - to force the GPU to get involved! and less on the CPU.

or so it seems.

[pierremgi 4889]

I play sometimes on a laptop and i remarked the (2) last drivers for NVidia (GTX860M) induce bad rendering with Unsung units equipment (black triangles or lines) at certain distances (mode utra or else). This seems not linked to the map but the units. The only way to correct that was to turn shadows off  or downgrade the graphic driver (to 358.91 if I remember, I don't have the laptop at this time).
