Defunkt 431 Posted April 24, 2015 By the way, do you guys think the runways/taxiways should be just a ground texture as in A3 or actual object tiles like in the previous ArmA games? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think objects should mean that you could have a 'noisier' mid-detail texture (because it doesn't display on objects) which goes a long way toward adding visual interest and authenticity to the terrain. If mid-detail is too muted/subtle you get that nude, OFP-look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chompster 29 Posted April 24, 2015 By the way, do you guys think the runways/taxiways should be just a ground texture as in A3 or actual object tiles like in the previous ArmA games?Looking at that image it's a fairly large area, so i'd say as long as it doesn't have too much of a performance impact, go for it. It'll no doubt look way better than just using ground textures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takoda 10 Posted April 24, 2015 Opteryx I have a friendly suggestion regarding the map, I'm not sure how difficult this would be to achieve but I will put it forward anyway. One of my favourite features about VBS3 is buildings with loopholes, perhaps you could consider adding this feature to some Al Kut buildings and walls. https://manuals.bisimulations.com/vbs3/3-6/manuals/Content/User_Manual/Adv_Features_Infantry_Loophole.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might not happen in the initial release, but I will certainly try to implement this idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drifter 167 Posted April 25, 2015 This already looks like its going to be a beautiful map! Looking at the SAT map and your custom buildings, I can already see the level of detail you can put on this map. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikiforos 450 Posted April 26, 2015 Ohh excellent work !!! Compared to Fallujah(Arma2) how much bigger or smaller is this map? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phronk 898 Posted April 26, 2015 It's Fallujah on crystal meth. Love how it's coming out! I know you initially said you wouldn't bring all this to A3 standards, but are you going to configure the objects to have the correct materials and all that? For example, glass windows break and/or make glass shatter sound when shot, shooting metal or tin surfaces creates sparks instead of dirt puffs, etc.? Also footstep sounds on different surfaces like concrete and such? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opteryx 1562 Posted April 26, 2015 Ohh excellent work !!!Compared to Fallujah(Arma2) how much bigger or smaller is this map? The terrain itself is 24km, which would make it 4 times larger than the Fallujah map. As for the city, I'm not sure maybe about the same size or maybe a little bit smaller.

I have to get most of the content game ready then gradually and incrementally enhance stuff from there on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
