South Asia v1.5 No errors!!

[ANZACSAS Steven 395]

What is so hard to believe?

A guys gets into contact with me to help on a couple of aspects.

I share my files with him.

He then throws a tantrum because he wants to change things set in place 12 months ago.

Less that 24 hours later my work shows up on steam and then here.

 

Simple story and not an uncommon one if youve been around here for awhile...

The fact of the matter is you have very little understanding of modding this engine, think only you can do things, and if a config looks similar to yours, it must be stolen.

Bis dont seem to think so.

Again talking about me, and again lying.

I contacted you and I told you clearly, I was doing my version of South Asia and you published yours. Look at your mod and share with you the improvements that mine included.
Nor did he have the 8 digits on the map strings (which makes it impossible for the AI to know where it is and where it is going), of sharing the start image of the map for a more polished distribution, I indicated and shared the ILS code of the South Asia airports.

You didn't share any files with me, I had to do everything about my code and share it with you.

The one who got angry was you, when I wanted to "separate our paths" I literally told him. All because you didn't want to modify your work, or add roads, or restore the old sky in the Take on Helicopters style.

Less that 24 hours later my work shows up on steam and then here.

My project was finished before I spoke with you the first time, it was not published before because I like to collaborate on many projects. The difference is that I do not strut and I scream all day how wonderful I am. Since February without uploading anything, I'm still working and I can't go up the DMCA. Think...

Simple story and not an uncommon one if youve been around here for awhile...

Very rare story, of a person who separates official code of Arma 2 and Take on Helicopters, modifies it and says that he has created a mod that nobody can replicate. The first one that used another's code, was you... The Bohemia Interactive code.

 

I am not a programmer, I copy and modify code. But I put my references and share my code freely (good codes, not yours).
I am a graphic designer, I create 3D models and textures. But I still share my work and explain my tricks to people.
I'm older than you in game development, from Quake 2 to Half-Life 1. You can also search my name on google.
So do not try to play the card "I am the great Steven and this Jove Chiere is a poor steal codes." because the shot will come out through the butt.

[ANZACSAS Steven 395]

Jove chiere, Theres no more to say.No need to carry this on.

PS: You accused me of stealing your config work in A2 days. Seems your memory is not so well, or you preferred to forget about your mishap.

 

 

I still have no idea what your saying...If you accuse someone of something show something .

 

Btw.You implying that it is common knowledge that i take credit for others work means that i have done it before and to many ppl.But you can only come up with your own complaint.Just now.Hardly what you accused me of...

this has become common knowledge as your DMCA of somebody else uploading share-alike content was done very publicly by yourself. you yourself have provided all the facts and they are not in your favour.

 

further on your steam page it says

"Copyright 2019[ANZACSAS Steven].This item is not authorised for posting on Steam, except under the Steam account named ANZACSAS Steven."

 

which seems entirely inconsistent with the share alike license your port of BI's content is actually released on whereby others are

(with some conditions)

from your recent activity  i can either conclude that you are up to no good or completely ignorant of the licenses you are working under. either way its not been pretty to watch.

[ANZACSAS Steven 395]

I've no time for any more of this rubbish from everyone.

The 14 days for steam DMCA ruling has passed and ppl can download whatever version of my work they like.

This community has lost what it used to be.Its a shame.

I have been bullied by members who dont know the inner details of what is/was going on.

 

P.S

Highly recommend against letting ppl in to help with any aspect of their projects.

[sgtfuzzle17 8]

Just asking on the chance there's an update, any idea roughly when the patch with 8 digit grids will be coming? Nearly have a big mission finalized for it and wondering when I can think about rolling it out.

[ANZACSAS Steven 395]

sgtfuzzle17,Soon bud,week or two.Ive got files pulled apart all over the place atm.

Thanks bud.

[ANZACSAS Steven 395]

Version 1.4

[sgtfuzzle17 8]

With the new patch (v1.4), the new roads are crashing the game any time I try to load into it and giving the error "too many virtual blocks requested". This is also an issue with the other South Asia map floating around on the Workshop. Are you planning on releasing an optional patch file to exclude the roads? Unfortunately in its current state I can't actually use the map unless I patch out the roads.

 

On a completely unrelated note, you said in the 1.3 changelog you added a satmap for use with aircraft map screens. Where is that texture located? Is it a different file to "SouthAsiaMapPic3.paa"? A friend and I have gotten it working with Firewill's mapscreens but it seems to be misaligned. We're using the following code in a description.ext (his recommended implmentation):

Spoiler

class CfgAWS_MAP
{
    class South_Asia_H
    {
        aws_mapdata = "South_Asia_H.paa";
        aws_mapsize = 122880;
    };
};

 

 

We got the mapsize from using the worldSize command. Is that number wrong or is there something we're missing?

[ANZACSAS Steven 395]

sgtfuzzle17,Sorry bud.My files have been pulled apart due to the hassles with the re upload.I am  now uploading an update removing the roads files.

Sry for the inconvenience.

[ANZACSAS Steven 395]

@sgtfuzzle17,

 

south_asia_h\data\images\SouthAsiaMapPic3.paa

 

Yes thats the one m8.Also the mapsize is correct also.I havnt gotten around to doing that with firewill addons,so your one step ahead on that with me.Maybe mention it to firewill.He might have a solution hopefully.

Thanx bud,:)

 If it helps at all, the below link is how he recommended setting it up. We're doing it the description.ext way just to keep our modset light and so we don't need to put anything on the workshop but it may be of help to you.

Don't mean to be a pain in the ass, but the new update seems to have completely removed the map from my game - I can't load into it at all.

Happy to help. Honestly this map is really the only thing on the workshop of this scale that doesn't require a few GB of extra mods as dependencies, and the fact that it runs so well is great. I'm very happy I came across it; while I really like a lot of the PMC Terrains the fact you need to go through so much effort to install them kind of kills any mission development opportunities.

Hi, ANZACSAS Steven, I wanted to ask you, about this...

How could you do the conversion to a series not allowed as ArmA?

Thank you.-

Take On was never licensed under the license you linked. Thats just a license that modders/people can use for their projects.

 I can`t create vehicle with scripts on  South Asia v1.6 ANZACSAS. I think it is cause this map don`t have proper roads maybe..
