"dry" south-Sahrani in progress.

Recommended Posts

Well, I got a bit bored with the tropical style of south sahrani, and I'm retexturing it so it's, well, more "dry", much more brown etc. (not dark-brown though), the trees, bushes and grass won't be retextured, but it looks quite nice I suppose, I'm using the "southern sahrani"-map that someone (can't remember who) imported into the ArmA full-version, I'm just wondering if anyone would be interested in having this, it'll replace the "souther-sahrani"-map though.

And if anyone's interested, I could use somewhere to upload it too (it's about 70mb I think)

I would be interested in a dried up Rahmadi map.

Got pics of what you have now?

Yes I have smile_o.gif just took some and was about to post them, enjoy

(also note that this just took a few hours, and the areas with farms look like farms from far off, but when near the ground is just dry, didn't have the patience to change that right now, but it's possible).

I like it a lot smile_o.gif

Thanks! I'm quite pleased with it myself actually ;D I think I'll mail the guys who took it from the demo and ask them if it's okay if I release it, just to be polite.

edit: but meh, couldn't find their email anywhere in the readme, and their site was down, and they didn't really make it or anything, so I'll release it anyway, if I can upload it someplace.

Edit again: I put it in a .rar, and it's only a bit over 30mb now.

Could be done, however, you would need to retexture all the trees, grass etc. etc. and it would take lots of time and skill that I don't have, it will surely be done eventually. Also, does anyone know wich .pbo "Rahmadi" is in? I could do what I did here with it quite quickly, just for you Ironsight smile_o.gif

Thanks, I might do a little retexture later.

Anyways, the retextured SaraLite is ready, I need a place to upload it .

Nice. Maybe now the "coalition" forces won't stick out in

the green like a bulldog's nads.  wink_o.gif  I do wish the ArmA

islands weren't all quite so mountainous though.

When it comes to serious addon-making time, it'd be nice to

have a new flat featureless island to test stuff on. The

OFP "desert island" was great for quick testing (also great

for a 2,000 metres firing range).

When the tools are out I'm going try to to make an island that consists mostly of flat desert areas like the desert-part of south-Sahrani smile_o.gif

Also, when the tools are out, a flat desert-island like the one in ofp would be childs play to make.

OffT:

I'd love to see an Crysis mod when the tools are out, just to keep me from actually buying that game icon_rolleyes.gif

OnT:

If it really is that easy to transform Sahrani into snow island, I may make up something in photoshop biggrin_o.gif

Actually like this look for Sahrani allthough I'd rather love too see the more lush island to smile_o.gif

hehe a frozen island would be cool too see, wonder how it would look in all the pixel shading anisotropic antialiasing glory biggrin_o.gif

though im intrested too see how a medium sized island is compared to the big original island and the small rahmadi island performance wise and visually.

what tool do you use to edit the world (wrp) files huh.gif?

I used ArmAUnpbo on saralite.pbo but non of the OFP tools will open the saralite.wrp file.

I definitely will be looking out for your new island when released

Im working on a new set of palm trees which you could use for your island when the tools come out

"Dry South-Sahrani" looks good.

The grass clutter should be reduced though. You should be able to change it in a config file, I haven't tried that myself so I'm not sure.

I don't think there is any point asking for permission from the guys that took saralite.pbo from the demo, it was just a matter of taking the pbo file from the demo and uploading it somewhere. You could have easily taken the file from the demo yourself.
