Well I dout they would use so many 2048x2048 textures on a island, it wouldn't be to efficient memory wise along with all other trees, buildings and unit textures etc etc running at once in a battle.

I'd say the textures for the new Armed Assault island will be in 1024x1024.

And the new grass in Armed Assault should help make the ground look better anyway.

Fully sick, dudes. I second the need for tree replacements, though. Otherwise, awesomecross!

This is amazing but with the tree replacement it would be better

For those that have asked for a version of the island with replaced trees, etc - please just take the 5 minutes required to do this yourself with WRPtool's 'replace objects' feature.

What do I use for the objects to replace? Well, personally my choice would be Berghoff's Nature Pack v2. I hear a new version is in the pipeline, so it will be supported in the future with some new additions and a bunch of bug fixes. In the meantime, the current pack is 95% bugfree - I'm using it myself for a Hi_Res Kolgujev and some new versions of my own European islands, it is very nice!

the airport looks stunning... its the Å50mb that's concerning me, seeing as my addon folder is already running at 1.5 gig or so (even with mod folders, it's coming close to running out of memory)

i'll be waiting for the smaller version i think, but great job none the less

[redface 1]

looking top-notch

how does it perform in terms of playability/lag?

[honchoblack 2]

Just tested the new textures ingame, and they are much less demanding than I would have thought. Missions play very smooth even with textures of this size on 1gig ram with a 256 mb 6800gt.

And the textures themselves are stunning, I never really like Malden, but with these textures its a complete different deal. Excellent job on the textures, its great to have such detailed textures ingame.

[wheres my rabbit ? 10]

gonna download and give it a go..i am very curious about performance hit

it looks very nice in the pics ..infact too nice i think everything else in the game will look out of place on it.

wot did you use to convert the textures with textview ??

i tried to make some 2048x textures b4 and i managed 1 then texview would just crash after that and refused to do any more that size

I think they used PaNTool in order to convert the textures.

Btw, great island! I'll test it ASAP.

[HC]Para, I'm WRPtool handicapped... reckon you could send me a copy? I'd be eternally grateful!

Am I the only person who actually likes the yellowish, sun-baked look of the grass in the original Malden?

That said, this pack looks fantastic. Ace transitions, too. I'll be sticking around for the 1024 version, though. At least until I get some money and can afford to stick an extra gig of RAM in my machine.

damn thats some nice ground textures,, i said in the other thread i would wait for the 1024 version, but now im getting hungry to try the highres version

@[HC]Para you should maybe release your replacement island , islands for the public maybe, i would like to see how everon and kolgujev looks like new textures and berghof tree's , dunno but could be a killer combo

[wheres my rabbit ? 10]

500+ mb for 1 island

just had a quick look around and(with nothing going on only me on map) the performance hit is hardly noticable.. although the mission editor nearly had a fit when i turned on show textures

nice work

[ShadowY 0]

nice but not good enough for me

From the ground it`s kinda nice but flying over it is just as dull as old Malden

I didn`t like the rock textures and the beachtextures, they are to desertlike redish so they dont fit malden.

But are very good for a desert island, so I guess some people will use those for their islands.

ShadowY

Just try to activate Anisotropic Filtering in videocard settings like it was sad in the readme......  

You will see the difference.....

And try to set you gamma in the game

I flew over it with viewdistance 3500 AA-AF full

I'm sure Bergoff's trees on this islands would show better differences between this malden and BIS one.

Btw, we expect to decrease the sizes of this malden's island textures to 512x512 in order to implement it in FFUR Islands pack.

Big thanks to Symbiot and to Atherakhia.

Whenever i start the game with this replacement i got the FFUR mod island version of malden. I tried it with the new abel.pbo in dta, and i tried the modfolder way. And yes, i tested this without the FFUR mod.

I love this. Incredibly detailed textures. Are there plans for the other islands?
