[Terrain] Khogyani, Ghazni Province, Afghanistan (Release Thread)

[Drifter 167]

Khogyani, Ghazni Province, Afghanistan

 

ALPHA Version Notes:

This is an ALPHA version of this terrain, I still have lots of work to for the best looks of this terrain. For now most of the terrain is flat, in future updates I will be adding more ditches and bumps in the ground to add a more realistic feel to the terrain. Don't expect too much from this release, as I just want feedback about the terrain and some suggestions about the ALPHA version.

 

There are a few issues with this terrain, biggest issue is the 2d editor and navigation map not showing the gray outlines of objects and houses, along with green shapes and circles marking tree lines and bushes.

 

About this project:
This terrain is based in the Ghazni Province of Afghanistan. For a google maps location click here. This terrain will be as close to the real life satellite images. The structures will be different, but the compounds layouts, roads, foliage and geographical features will be as accurate as I can get them.

 

This terrain is intended for missions like foot patrols. For those realism units or groups that like to do some foot patrol missions, this might be a terrain to try out.

Congrats! Been following your updates over in the discussion area.

Sorry for the obligatory 'had this been indexed for ALiVE' question, but, has it been indexed for ALiVE?

I see you plan on adding more buildings throughout development so definitely no hurry if the buildings aren't super complete right now (the buildings are what would need to be indexed I think). I'm still very excited and will be following this closely. Thanks Drifter.

Since I am happy with this terrain and the way things are going, I plan on finishing this terrain. I feel this terrain is not too much to Drain myself of ArmA and end up not finishing like my past terrains, which I do have plans on finishing, mainly Waziristan.

 

Thank you.

This terrain looks really good so far!   Looking forward to seeing the rest of it populated.   You're definitely on the right track   B)

I belive this is caused by the type of p3d, it's easily fixed by using Mikeros pro tools, the free version won't show them.

Congrats of the 1st release though, looks great :)

I figured it was that, I use to use Mikeros free tools when they did work before the Eden update. I am looking into buying the pro version.

Wardak I might cancel due to the quality of it for being my first terrain. Waziristan is still active.

 

Thank you.

Update on the terrain. My group and I will be working on the terrain for the Beta release of Khogyani, when it will be done? Not sure, I will announce a date once we get near release time.

[Drifter 167]

Sorry for the lack of updates, just having issues some of my communities game servers and also had issues with the lighting and waited for APEX to release in case any problems popped up with my terrain, development is still going for this terrain.

 

Thank you.

Hello DonbassCZ, this project is definitely not dead. As a matter of fact, this is the terrain I am most proud of right now. I can 100% assure this project will not die :)

 

Sorry for the late response. Been busy with my ArmA unit as we had issues with our servers lately and I had to chip away at them for the past 2-3 weeks. Which is now fixed, so now I can pay more attention to this terrain.

[Drifter 167]

Hello, for anyone following this terrain I will be planning a live stream either on Friday (8/5/16) or Sunday (8/7/16) on my YouTube channel to show the progress made on the terrain. I also have plans to release a Pre-Beta update due to my recent inactivity to give back to those who follow and support this project, it will be half of the Beta version zone completed with buildings and foliage, terraforming will be minor due to Pre-Beta.

I managed to catch the stream on Monday.....I found it absolutely fascinating to watch you build those beautiful compounds. It really shows why this terrain is the one your most proud of.

Thank you for going that little bit extra to stream your WIP....inspirational stuff indeed.

Can't you build your cities on EDEN now ? Then export them back to terrain builder ?

Yes I can, but I cant resize the walls in Eden. I resize quite a lot of walls on this terrain and also change terrain elevations when building compounds and other objects. So I choose to continue to build the terrain in terrain builder.
