It is composed of 5 inhabiteds islands, of which only 3 have been taken into the map along with some of the lesser islands.

The map is fictionnal and contain elements which aren't part of the real islands.

Enjoy!

5 islands
Around 22km²

A large airport
A smaller airfield
Many small villages and compounds

Great job again!

Looks nice, will have a look at it!

[Wiki 1558]

Nice.

However, it's written "Porquerolles" in the installation explanation :P

Congrats for the release, very nice concept! Sadly AI doesn't cross bridges and got a lot problems recognizing roads and move around in vehicles in cities and stuck into a lot of different objects  :k:

Thx for reply....so,  we know the problem and have no solutions for bridges.

Kerama is still in beta , and I continue to work on it

Wonderful work once again. The rice paddies need some love but are lovely regardless. The ponds are showing up black at high altitudes.

 

The submarine base is interior lit at night by the lighthouse, in ways it shouldn't be. But what a base! There's an Ohio-class sub mod coming out soon, and it's a great place for a Splinter Cell-type mission.

 

Keep it up keep it up.

Hey, Thanks for the feedback. For many things we are just limited by what the engine offers. You have to do with what you're given!

But we'll look to improve those aspects whenever we find solutions to these problems.

Well, as far as I know, those are problems you'll always encounter in most maps. But yeah, we're working on improving it.

 

I've modded a Domination and other missions on the map though and didn't have that many problems.

Apart for the bridges, can you be more specific as to where you had problems?

[bullet purveyor 85]

Great work guys, looking forward to try it out.

[reaper lok 82]

Is this map @ALiVE ready - has it been indexed?  I know the current ALiVE Mod comes with an indexing module (not looked at it yet), just curious.  Island/s look great - cannot wait to download and explore.  Your work is very much appreciated!!

[caboose816 38]

This looks really good. Downloading.

Nope, I've played with @Alive a bit, but haven't had time to really dive into it.

When that happens, I'll do it, but for now, I don't have the time to investigate it. Maybe someone else in the Team will do it.

[alexcroox 29]

Very impressive thank you!

[Coding42 18]

you are awesome!

is it possible to add "angel island" as a landmass?

in the specops base, when you try to drive jets from the lower area to the upper area, there are some trees dangerously close to the taxiway

[Meik Will Made It 45]

wow, so nice

[wollfen 4]

THX !

 

no, it's impossible because the gride of "angel island" is not the same :

 

Angel : gride of 5 meters

kerama : gride of 10 meters

 

I'm going to clean the taxiway, but be carefull, we have always a pb with the bridge: IA cant cross !....if community have a solution !!! ^^

[Coding42 18]

noticed it but i already noticed that issue with multiple maps so i guess its enginerelated

as workaround addan action and call a setPos? :P

 

rock on road near [11517.7,13640,1.13416]

roof textures on multiple locations on ground are a bit disturbing

gras and stones on road near [9937.12,11849,1.14362]

 

keep on the good work

[Coding42 18]

nice!

you are really fast!!!

and an issue i have with several custom maps:

roads are not displayed after a certain distance ~1km

in your map, there are underlying dirtpaths. is it a problem with my settings or an issue for you?

[Coding42 18]

upper stair at [13437.4,16989.1,-0.000839233] not useable

and vegetation on this small road intended?

concrete visual at [13463.8,16459.2,0.00151062]

 

btw. dont feel offended by me, just want to help on it and testing is a work in a project which is generally "liked a lot"

[wollfen 4]

no pb, this map is big, and we are a small team to debug it : that's why your help is important ;)
