Just need OFrP to make missions on it ^^

[cirav 82]

Yes if it can motivate them to publish their mod.  ;)

Oh boy.

 

Looks like this one has a big ass town? Bye Fallujah, hello Kidal!

Very nice.

 

Cheers

Nice job!!!!

Hi Cirav, thanks for a truly enormous and detailed map.

 

I have a slight problem though, even though there are large numbers of houses in Kidal city, none of them show up as buildings if I use nearestbuilding player. This is causing one of my ambient sounds scripts to fail to spawn sounds into nearby buildings - it can't find any!

 

Any clues as to why this might be?

 

Thanks in advance.

Great job Cirav, those black rocks are gorgeous  :wub:

[cirav 82]

Thank you eltyranos, we have to wait for the release of your VAB.  :rolleyes:

 

@tpw : I'll try to watch it . Your script works well on other map with CUP buildings ?

[Redphoenix 1540]

If you add some intelligent clutter system, hell this could be a fun map.

[papanowel 120]

Thank you Cirav, should be perfect for my next mission.

Really nice map, although it's very barren outside the city, is it gonna be updated with some villages outside? There's a pretty huge road network, but it doesn't lead to much. If not, have you considered scaling down the size of the map to say, 30x30?

[Jack Ost 124]

Very nice, a big town

 

My Mirage 2000 is ready to take off :)

 

In my opinion : miss few village and miss some buildings for airport (I thought there was not :P)

[tpw 2315]

@tpw : I'll try to watch it . Your script works well on other map with CUP buildings ?

Yeah mate, yours is the only one that doesn't. Thanks for looking into it.

[cirav 82]

@Redphoenix : Yes it's part of the things to see in a future release.

 

@tinter : I do not think adding other villages. I voluntarily expanded the map to give importance to the vehicles. The battle in the desert is a few very special. There are already many Arma map with lots of small villages and I do not see the interest to do the same.

 

@Jack Ost : yes I think improving the airport in a future release by trying to stick to reality. For the military base, I think I'll change in depth to meet the current version.

 

@tpw : Is your script is on Armaholic to do my own tests and to resolve this problem quickly.

 

@Jack Ost : yes I think improving the airport in a future release by trying to stick to reality . For the military base, I think I'll change in depth to respect the reality .

[tpw 2315]

Hi cirav. I tweaked the script to use nearestobject instead of nearestbuilding when it's running on Kidal, so it's working again. But if you are interested, it's part of this mod.

[badanov 116]

Bring additional fuel supplies.  You're sure to need them.  :D

 

Don't change a thing, cirav.  The size is perfect. The map is tank/air assault country.

[froggyluv 2136]

Just a heads up the stadium seating stands Fire geo is bugged as you cant fire thru the open spaces of the back of the stands -the bullets just bounce off the empty air.

[SovietPanda 17]

Well, I think our Regiment is going to reenact Operation Serval...

[papanowel 120]

Hello Cirav, we had a game last night on it and we had fun to play on your newest map.

 

Here are my "request":

 

The start of the game was during the night in full moon but it was in my opinion way too dark. I would love to see it a bit "brighter".

 

There are also many rocks/bushes in the middle of the roads, it would be nice if you can remove most of them.

[cirav 82]

Hi Papanowel, thank you for your return.

For the moon, I 'll try to change that. I used the config.cpp file Stratis so I thought not having this kind of problem.

For objects on the road, it's one of the things I upgraded to the next version. It's a long job given the size of the card.

Is someone still working on this map? I like this map b/c it gives our helicopter pilots something to do but I think it needs some finishing touches.

Dude...last update is only 3 weeks ago! Chill and wait for the developer to get some time.

You can read in previous posts what he has planned to update.
