Its not meant to be knee to waist height grass, but getting the right values with the correct model are a pain in the arse.

Is the asphalt texture too dark, don't you think? It's also creating visible contrast with garbage piles.

[AxiosODST 100]

No its Not, I think i took the screenshot to quickly when i went to the objects, as the road texture hasn't loaded correctly.  My Fault, should of waited.

This is a damn work of art.

Chernarus , is a main subject for me years now  ( Pre DayZ player! ) and an edition like this is missing!

So waiting for the release!

Asking for any kind of update or release date is against the rules friend.

Super excited about this !

[Ki aka Kyle 0]

Hey there, I have some questions.

1) Will you be removing problematic objects, such as Fences, Chairs and other objects that block paths into buildings?
2) Will the old buildings that weren't height adjusted be dropped back down to ground level?

3) Will you allow the map to be customised by individual communities or are you going to continue asking people to submit projects to be added?
Finally, will you be releasing a (Blank) version of the map so others can customise it to their liking and then you can take ideas you like to add to the main map?

 

Cheers in advance,

Ki

Time to go back to that old Arma 2 feel, with Arma 3 detailing

[haleks 8204]

Only explored for about 20 minutes so far, and I'm very impressed with the work done. The new vegetation looks awesome (no more weird, flashy green trees and grass - something that destroyed a lot of maps using Arma 2 assets after the graphical update). And the sense of detail in those derelict cities... <3

I was in Cherno and immediatly had that Fallout feeling as the sun was rising. Just awesome.

 

I'm very excited for this project, thanks for this release and to everyone involved!

Is there a way to remove some of the abandoned vehicles ?

The Abandoned Vehicle have been specially placed in a lot of areas to force players into a alternative route, giving it more diversity.  Not just being stuck on a empty road. Also gives to ability for players to setup ambushes so taking a short route may come at higher risk. We are trying to give the players more control over unique situations. For example the tunnel has a side dirt road past all the wrecks but taking that short route slows you down instead of taking a longer route into the country side. There have been some wreck taht have been removed, however for the community there is no way to remove them unless there are certain vehicles really becoming a problem with players trying to drive.
