PMC AEC islands released!

[snkman 351]

Or simply the original version.

Desert who need's desert i need Wood and hills.

Now all we need is a three-island CTI

Desert who need's desert i need Wood and hills.

And the trees high in the sky...  

Between pine trees in the sky and palm trees on the ground... well, I think the choice is obvious

[Commando84 0]

can i have both? time will tell... maybe if tools get out i'll see if i can try again if tools are a bit more easier to handle to make my own version with nogova too and all in sahrani textures.

Well just take a look at Everon Ace made all trees are on the ground.

If putting some more empty ocean between the islands aren't too much of a bother, then I'd also like to request it

[Snake Man 407]

My little suggestion, is to make the distances between the islands bigger.

I think its doable to change the map size from 25km to 51km.

any chance you can add runway textures in your next update?

I need to look into how Sgt.Ace did the Everon, cant promise anything though.

will you be adding all original forests if you update, like the one near the airport on everon and in the valley by the castle?

I'm not sure about the forest objects, still havent searched any info about them heh. But I'm not sure if its good idea to add the OFP data3d\ p3d object into the island release pbo, I guess its small and everything, but I'd like this conversion to be "ArmA" first of all.

But i think it would be better to do one island after another and then put them toghetter.

It just takes longer time to do it, besides Sgt.Ace is already doing Everon and OFMan is working on Kolgujev.

Quote[/b] ]So better do 1 island after another 100% instead of 3 same time 20%

You dont understand how this works, its conversion... straight out conversion. So wheter I do one or fiftyseven islands, it takes exactly the same amout of time (if put on all together in one wrp). What I do in the conversion applies to all islands at the same time.

BUZZARD @ June 08 2007,17:14)]Another idea would be to make a "desert version" of AEC map

Perhaps someone else can do it, like mapfact

Quote[/b] ]And the trees high in the sky...  Between pine trees in the sky and palm trees on the ground...

Are you telling me that some trees float in the air, in the SKY? I know some objects float a little bit, but I havent seen any which would be high up in the sky.

If putting some more empty ocean between the islands aren't too much of a bother, then I'd also like to request it

Yes seems like many people request this, so even if this is straight out conversion, I guess we can adjust the island size to ArmA standards of viewdistance and all. Its little bit funny as you can see Kolgujev coastline from Malde airbase heh.

So yeah next version should be on 51km island. However I would like to get some feedback on how far apart the islands should be in the larger area?

[ColonelSandersLite 0]

Out of curiosity, how come you and sgt ace aren't collaborating. Seems that 2 people can conver more ground together than 2 they can seperate. Even if it was something as simple as say just giving him everon on your AEC chain to work with while you work on the others or some such thing.

[luki 53]

I will no more longer work with island editings until BIS has released the tools. My Project has actually been created

through an coincidence only and its not my plan to continue with this work

About Runnway and floating tree problem, i will explaine my methods in PMC forums

Good to hear - on the subject of distance: Far away, far, far away

By 51km island you mean 51km x 51km, which means 2601km/2, yes?

I will take a look at the distances in the current version and come back to you after that

Edit:

I've just finished my flight above the islands in a cobra - love the terrain

All the islands more or less fit within a 5000 x 5000 trigger, and using the distance command, the distance between the main islands seem to be around 6km.

If we get 6km distance on a 21 x 21 map, then we'd get 14,4 by keeping the relative distances on a 51 x 51 map (unless I'm publicly displaying my demented math skills ).

How about 20km between the islands? Should give some room for the Antonov planes and hangar ships bound to show up some day.

Hi, i find a bug when you want to check map the game crash,

also the wood are missing and some texture (road conjonction, barrack roof, desert tex)...

[M.Andersson(SWE) 4]

The BIGGER maps, the BIGGER the fun....

Kidding...

But seriously, bigger maps (not islands, i mean MAP)

gives a fairplay with Planes and Boats..

I mean, when tools are out, there will be fast jets, cargo/

tranport planes (ANTONOV), fast attackships, hangarships,

cargo/transportships. I mean whats the fun in playing

with a ittybitty maps with a ANTONOV packed with stuff. Just

GO up, move 10sec, drop and get down for a refill.

BOOOOORING....

The bigger the better

I got pr'd/wl'd for asking that question, although I did kinda point out how that asking that question supposes the naive assumption that cooperation is possible contrary to historical fact.

Hey will you be finishing this at all

[Commando84 0]

yeah this would be sweet with multiple airports, maybe something close to evolution or cti or other large coop missions can be made that supports more than 1 base.

[Snake Man 407]

The biggest problem is the floating objects, these object types need to be manually aligned to the ground which is horrible trial and error work one object type at a time. I'm hoping that we get the new ODOL format read so we can find out the correct alignment automatically. We can already do this on OFP MLODs so all existing island objects work ok with proper alignment.

Then there is the widening the range issue, many people requested that the islands should be more apart, this is very easy to do and is on the TODO list for next release.

Multiple airports is now possible, and I again keep this on the TODO list, hopefully it will be done by the next release.

And when is the next release? Ehh no idea, not anytime soon at least

you mean this one?

or even bigger?

[nobrainer 0]

Has anyone heard what are happening with this one??

I would love to use this and make some missions on it, but if there is no update, I won't use it.

Since you had problems with most of the buildings (moving in and out of them) the addon is useless. But I love the idea.

v1.1 has been released, first post updated.

Enjoy.

[Binkowski 26]

Awesome Snake Man! Thank you.

Any chance of getting a Arma 2 version of this map. I agree bigger is better.
