Tilos : Greek Island

[anthariel 165]

Thanks you two!

@D787 : I wanted to take the idea of a greece island from Bohemia, though I found it quite lacked details on Stratis and Altis (caves, underwater environment, details on the rocks ...) so I added it to Tilos :)

I did just a quick look at the map and so far I love the size of the map. Also I love the shape!

The only two things I keep thinking about is it feels almost like stratis due to the hills. I was wondering if some flatland altis style would be implemented? Also rocks and arma 3 normally mean death. I want to say it was the south/south east side of the island there was a hills and just rocks. Kinda near a cave.(which was awesome by the way. I just wonder how many people are going to die due to getting arma-ed by the rocks.

However so far good job. Keep up the hard work.

Thanks!

About the flatland, I think it will be difficult on this map (due of its shape and size).

Here a screen http://i.imgur.com/oEe3BoZ.jpg : To the left of this image you can see very mountainous shape. To the right, the white texture represents a rocky shape ( not yet finished ) ( another screen by clicking here )

Now when you mention it, I realize that it really is mountainous ... even to much... :huh:

Unfortunately, as I said, this is partly due to the shape of the island.

Now, for the deathly rock, I noticed that certain rocks are dangerous if they are placed in a certain way, so I try now limited the rocks in some areas.

However, having worked on the CryEngine for few years, I notice if I put less rock, the gameplay would be really boring, I find Stratis and Altis mountains too "empty" with big lack of coverage for the soldiers. ( However, I understand that BIS will do anything to gain some FPS ).

So yes, I think you're right, but I think the players should think before going on a rock, normally it should not have to worry, but if someone told me about a deathly rock, I will fix this bug. :p

Anyway, I appreciate your feedback, thank you again! I will not forget this for my next map :)

I will give some new screens of few new locations today :)

Sorry for the delay, I had a busy day yesterday.

Here some screenshots of new locations ( Mikero Chorio and his cave, Agola Solar... )

I've also started an Infantry Showcase that will be available for the next release and I also created an addon made especially for missions makers with some nice features:

• Compatibility with the Jiri Wainar OSD Function ( this function ( that worked only on Stratis & Altis ) display an OSD with location, date time... )
  
• Custom PostProcess included for missions makers.
  
• Few pre-included screenshots for the mission maker that can be use for the loading.
  
• ...

For people who are interested I would do a livestream on Twitch today ( at 8 pm GMT+1 ) here : http://www.twitch.tv/anthariels

Had a chance to watch some of this... great stuff !!

[anthariel 165]

Well, This live was boring because I had problems with my streaming software that eats 40% of my CPU and prevents me from launching Bulldozer so ... I would be one later with another software :)

Anyway, thanks again! I recently started the largest city on the island (Livadia) ... and it a cool thing to do, I look forward to trying urban combat in this city :-) Like Megalo Chorio I wanted to give an " height " aspect for the city.

Here a early early early early... work in progress screenshot : http://i.imgur.com/SUgcrOm.jpg

For peoples who's interested, here a simple Zeus Mission for Tilos: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=376397101

[sebianoti 10]

This mod is amazing and I look forward for the rest of the map, I just tried it out by flying for a bit and it's simply stunning.

[cosmic10r 2325]

Had a chance to finally play a mission on Tilos today using Mcc and taped it...

really great stuff in there!!! Well done Anthariel!

last one is processing still I think so it may be a few before they can be viewed in HD

[anthariel 165]

Very cool videos CosmiC10R, glad you like Tilos :cool:

I hope you will enjoy the next update :)

[flex 1]

this map is already great and is probably going to be awesome when finished.

Just two small things

first: the street next to the concrete boardwalk in the south village has some strange bumbs

second: the sandbag bunkers in the fob are not usable atm.. you cant get an proper viewing angle down the hill to shoot at advancing enemies

keep up the outstanding work

[anthariel 165]

Thanks you Flex!

And, also thanks for your feedback, it's should be fixed for the next update :pistols: :868:

Edit: If you don't already play to the map, here a great video from Deathwatch where he made a short presentation of the island, thanks to him!

Threw up a server with @tilos. The map is the only mod you need, start with diving gear and uses Tonic's VSS to spawn vehicles. Jump in and start exploring!

108.21.52.216:2302

pass = p@ssword (just to keep randoms out)

Beware, I'm at work and there is no server restart set up so I have no idea what's going on in there, and you will receive no assistance!

[inlesco 233]

Very nice terrain, Anthariel. Looking forward to any updates and also your new creations!

I love the realistic and natural level design, it runs quite smooth as well. Excellent work on all ends! :)

[anthariel 165]

Thanks Soolie! I will try to come today :D

@Inlesco, Wow, thanks you a lot I am very glad that for my first terrain, I have so much positive feedback, i hope you will like the beta!

I still have much work to do for his release but 40% of Livadia is ended and some cool locations like Mikero Chorio, Tilos Military Airport, Agola Solar are finished to. From the last update a lot of work was made ( new mid texture, reworked satmap, reworked mask, +20.000 objects, ~1.000 misplaced object fixed... ( a full changelog will be released with the beta ).

I hope to release some new screenshots from new locations at the end of the month :)

Hey Anthariel really awsome map that you have made. really liking it.

Dont know if this might be something you have missed for the beta update but there is a random basketball court in the west side of a mountain at 027053 behind the construction site.

[anthariel 165]

Hi Granis, thanks for your comment!

Also, thanks for your feedback, I've not noticed this, it's probably a copy/paste fail :lookaround: ... Anyway, it's now solved for the next update and with that I also discover a couple of errors on Agios Antonios, so thank you again!

3 days before the beta :)

Hi Anthariel, this map is beautifully done and each of the different areas have a very distinct character and feel to them. I'm really looking forward to the next update.
