silola 1086 Posted September 27, 2015 Hi, we currently working on a new map called Taunus and we want to show you some progress regularly within this thread. The map will be powered by X-Cam of course and we will invest hundreds of hours, during many MP sessions, in order to finish this map ... asap. Please don't ask about any "release date" because we have only recently started ;) So far 4 people are working on this map:MemphisBelle (MIA)Hotzenplotz Chaser Silola Map size is 20480x20480 m Grid size is 4096 cells Cell size is 5 m If you want to see the whole "first Taunus album", then please follow this link: http://imgur.com/a/7Cuud Silola 47 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Undeceived 392 Posted September 27, 2015 ACH DU SCHEISSE!! :D The map I dreamt of since Schmalfelden in Arma 1! Wow... :wub: 2 questions: - Will the goal of this map be similar to the XCam-prototype map? Or will you guys (try to) improve it for AI as well? - Is it based on the real Taunus? What's the coordinates / towns? @ icebreakr: Naah, keep up the great work, mate! EDIT: After taking a look at the screenshots: Damn - This is absolutely authentic. You even created these typical wooden frames for young trees. Nice job! https://i.imgur.com/ATUUqyu.jpg EDIT 2: I think I found the location (at least the location from the header in the first post): The area between Oberursel and Glashütten. Comparing both images, you removed much of the towns, which is cool. A bit more rural terrain. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silola 1086 Posted September 27, 2015 Hi, many thanks for all the nice comments :) You all know ... map making, based on real data is always a huge compromise. So ... we have flatten the terrain in some areas, changed some sat data, in order to make the map editable as good as possible. And with all these changes it's not the real "Taunus" anymore. But anyway, I think it will be a nice looking and good playable map (only based on Taunus). There will be areas of course again, which are not suitable for AI. So for example crash barriers or other objects along some roads, maybe some bridges, and also the large road network will be problematic, I think.If you want to create an AI friendly map, then it's not realy possible to let your creativity run free, and we don't want to circumcise our ideas ;) @icebreakr: If you are interested to join the Taunus team ... let me know ;) Silola Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJFox 56 Posted September 27, 2015 This map looks amazing, and the attention to detail, SPEECHLESS!! I for one am keen to test this map in the future. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deathwatch4 89 Posted September 28, 2015 Will this require AllinArma terrain pack or A3MP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silola 1086 Posted September 28, 2015 Yes, AiA TP is currently required, but maybe we can change to CUP later. Don't know if this is possible for already imported objects without any problems. We will see it later. Silola 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
