@william1: roger, its a beta so we have a lot space for changes!

There are no additional Anything in my mod folder (although it still boots up the islands I hav in my reg ArmA Addons Folder)

Noob question: what's that command line I need to make the game use a modfolder?

[Sled88 0]

Just do it like the readme says... on page 1!

[ziiip 1]

Whoops really, I just noticed that! Thanks anyway.

[Chip360 0]

It still doesnt work for me  

I follow all the directions just as they say,

I even added another mod exec command line in the shortcut (and it boots up fine) while this one doesnt

Are yuo sure I dont need the origional Sara Lite? Or something?

What is that? The standard sahrini map?

I ges im gonna just have to wait till you change the name of the island so I can just add it like normal and not have to overwrite anything  

I wish u luck with that,

If u need help just look at the Afghan maps as an example, they are under a new name...

Edit: I just forgot that the textures overide the norm... O well,

it was worth a try (Or should I say several...)

Thanx for the island,

Im sure it looks superb..

Excellent work!!!! thx thx!!!

[Sled88 0]

Thx to all...

To your case:

You are loading a lot of unofficial addons oin your original addonfolder of arma. Maybe you try to pack all unofficial addons in another folder. Then try to use Winter Sahrani. The path is right, the folder is also correct.

You are using Version 1.06... The american Version of Arma... Never tested with this but try to make it like I said!

[Chip360 0]

Ok, will do, and btw, when I try to start it with the beta (or just try to start the beta for that matter) I get a config error, then something about a shader...

[Sled88 0]

Yep because the beta uses new stuff in the plants.pbo I think.

Hi guys. I've got a bad news...

It seems that we are not able to change the buildings on the official islands. I just replaced the big hotel house with another nordish one... but the nordish one now sticks in the ground...

Any ideas?

[eddyd 0]

i dunno but maybe hereArMa

or ask deanosbeano

256 MB!!! Jeeeesssseee!

lol

The other islands were only like 9 mb and 14 mb ;-(!

[Sled88 0]

yeah but the other islands have no new textures and plants!

[bravo 6 0]

its my turn to test this beauty..

downloading now ----

i bet its lag free for sure, except the handle leaks..

edit: @Curatalo, LOL your a funny person.. i understood it was the entire island, and not just south. Note that sara.pbo island is 747mb, so i wouldn't expect less then 250mb

edit2: tested this addon and its only the south part of sara. Should be mentioned in the download link

[Sled88 0]

The size consists of the plants.pbo and saralite.pbo!

You have nothing else to say than its the south part? :P

[bravo 6 0]

You have nothing else to say than its the south part? :P

i actually have, its not much but..

i remember in OFP that in winter islands when we walked in the snow we could hear the respective steps sounds and also the foot prints in the snow.

In this addon i can not see nor hear like a snow ground.

Maybe a suggestion for a next version.

The rest i like

[ck-claw 1]

Will have to re-check,but i thought i could hear the crunching foot steps-but not all the time?

[Sled88 0]

Footsteps should be included of the original ArmA.

[bravo 6 0]

Footsteps should be included of the original ArmA.

lol, they are included.. but not as if you step a ground with snow.

Dont know if you ever played OFP but if you did not, try and look on the winter islands from OFP. You will know what i mean.

It has a different sound and very particular, different from the ones we hear in ARMA normally.

edit: check this OFP Winter Nogova for OFP (Not for ARMA): download to compair the sounds (15.6 MB)

[ck-claw 1]

I know what you mean bravo!

something so basic as the snow crunching just made it so atmospheric!
