topas 1 Posted February 7, 2008 It sure does look like an ambitious project. Judging form the pics and videos it's gonna be big. As far as I know the real life El Hierro is someting around 300 square kilometers - what scale are you going to choose? 1:1? Anyway; Fingers crossed - looks very promissing even as an early WIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opteryx 1562 Posted February 7, 2008 Yes I forgot to mention that, it's 1:1 scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Tea 0 Posted February 7, 2008 That would be the kickass island for ArmA. I really hope you find some help for that project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted February 7, 2008 That would be an awesome island for ArmA. I really hope it gets finished some day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[aps]gnat 28 Posted February 7, 2008 Wow, big and nice looking. Nice job But is it too mountainious for good battles? ie armour might have a hard job getting around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wipman 1 Posted February 7, 2008 Hi, the Canarias are placed in Afrika and the "tipical spanish" house wouldn't fit right in that part of Afrika; the fellas that moved to work in the Canarias islands told me that they've they're own kind of "tipical" house, and seems that the most common small 2 floors house is more close to a Jerez's house, Malaga... Granada... and those southern places; but i could be wrong... im from the North of spain and i never was down there and hopefully i'll never be. That island looks good, seems interesting.

icebreakr 3157 Posted February 7, 2008 I still prefer small islands with couple of settlements... big areas just can't have all the details... better to have a realistic small isle than a half empty huge one. my 2c. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickboy 13 Posted February 7, 2008 Looks very interesting. Can not wait for beta's let alone the final Thanks Opt!

With ArmA's terrain and object streaming I believe it should still be possible to have a huge island with lots o stuff.Suma wrote on the blog that Sahrani doesn't make perfect use of the features and as such isn't that optimized atm. I believe this means that other Islands in fact can make use of the technology more properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here you can see some pics of Garachico, a city on Tenerife http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garachico And also here you have a lots of pics of canary islands http://www.webtenerife.com/PortalT....&81=458 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wipman 1 Posted February 7, 2008 Hi, im 100% from asturias, Gijón is the place 28Km from the born place of Alonso; so i can't bring much help on how Tenerife is other than share the lazy descriptions that the fellas that went down there to work or that are working there rightnow. But i can't bring any helpfull graphic material other than the pics that i may find in altavista.com . Let's C ya P.S: UOE = Unidad de Operaciones Especiales, right?; are you from the IDM too?.

PSYCHOSIM 0 Posted February 7, 2008 Thats a great looking island, will look forward to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3244 Posted February 7, 2008 Why do you not release the island as it is as a preview package? This might get people more interested in helping you as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benoist 0 Posted February 7, 2008 Well, my parents went to Spain (first the Northe, then France and other contries and then the travel in the South) and they said (yes i show them the pics) that it looks like the South of Spain. That's what they told me, i never been there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HotShot 0 Posted February 7, 2008 The Lowlands Warrior mod was making a tropical island, Bonaire, which may have objects you could use? No idea if they still have the files. Berghoff was also making vegetation for it. Looks like it will be a good island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
granQ 293 Posted February 7, 2008 great another island with the same "theme" i want to recreate.. i guess thats what many wants to see now. Wished i could help but i am so busy right now.. but one day i will make islands like yours, maybe could include yours, in my mod for drug lords missions.. looks perfect.

Enigma85 2 Posted February 7, 2008 definitly looks good i'll look forward to playing this whenever it comes out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3157 Posted February 7, 2008 GranQ: what a coincidence, today at 2000Z our team is hunting down druglord Victor Esteban and shutting down his evil operations i took another look of Canary island and it seems it wouldn't be too much difficult to recreate, since there are many slopes that don't have any objects except random trees/bushes. Good luck Opteryx! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strother 0 Posted February 7, 2008 I think people should make more islands based on real world locations mainly because I'm a realism guy, and having real terrain and real town layouts is so much better than someone making an island that has mixed climits and random terrain.
