Stavanger 0 Posted January 27, 2008 The mapper rimmer published his newest map called Saltbeach Island on Armaholic.com. The palm-fringed map with his salty beaches and small towns is an allover felicitous map. Description: Saltbeach island for all ArmA versions, requires no addons. I've designed this island for mission creators so there are not many buildings but plenty of space for them. Also includes new high resolution ground textures with high detail normal mapping, so for those with expensive graphics cards you will see some nice eye candy with textures set to high. Changelog: v2.0: - fixed rvmat files Screenshots: Screenshot 1 Screenshot 2 Screenshot 3 Screenshot 4 Screenshot 5 Screenshot 6 Feedback: ArmAholic.com Foren Mirrors: ArmAholic.com ePrison.de Armed-Assault.de ofp-arma.cznhl.com ArmedAssault.info Mirrors are welcome, I will add them! best Regards, Stavanger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miles teg 1 Posted January 28, 2008 Beautiful looking island...looks more like a vacation spot rather then a warzone. Maybe a whaling/fishing town? Well maybe a few divisions of American armor and air power will pound that island into the ground. I know they got terrorists hiding there somewhere!!! At any rate, pretty island!

Stewy 1 Posted January 28, 2008 This is a great island! Not too much detail to lag, but still a good bit of scenery and space! It really has that 'wasteland/outpost' type feel which is cool. One minior gripe though - AI chopper pilots seem to crash into the trees when they fly over forests. Is this an island thing or AI thing? Great stuff - Stav, please thank Rimmer for the work!

icebreakr 3107 Posted January 28, 2008 Does anyone of you get that ugly blue-texture on the beaches of lake and river? It looks terrible from, for example, chopper. Otherwise great map, but it needs more settlements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted January 28, 2008 One minior gripe though - AI chopper pilots seem to crash into the trees when they fly over forests. Is this an island thing or AI thing? AI. I've seen it happen a lot in North Sahrani too Guess their terrain/object avoidance needs to be improved a bit. The island looks very good. Nice to see new island addons coming out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGuderian 0 Posted January 28, 2008 @IceBreakr I've the same problem. Is there anyone who can solve that? From screenshots I've seen the Island seems to work flawless: is it related to videocard settings? I've 8800GTX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3107 Posted January 28, 2008 I looks like a crappy lowres sat image on my 8800GT. Hopefully that image texture will be removed in next version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gsleighter 0 Posted January 29, 2008 If your texture setting is high or better, it looks MUCH better. The texture needs polish on the coasts and rivers, but it looks great, in my opinion. Needs much more ground cover, rocks, bushes, maybe some more buildings. I think this is a great piece of work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks50 0 Posted January 29, 2008 I got some blueish beaches too, Got a 8800 GTX. Its not too notable though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Makake 0 Posted January 29, 2008 The blue textures on beaches and river shores look strange indeed. And I also think, that texture transitions are mostly too hard. You use southern sahrani groundtexture with its grass, in the distance it changes to bluish meadows / plains which does not fit very well. Maybe there's a way to change the closeup groundtexture and grass so that it matches better with the overall look. Otherwise very nice island, indeed. Has great potential. Looking forward to missions / campaigns on it. Will be there any further versions with changes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jojimbo 0 Posted January 30, 2008 great island,i bet those bluish textures are missmatched sat water images spilling over,ie should be underwater.making an island in this detail is no mean feat,nice job. is there any treasue near the tree? thats what i want to know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
