orson 0 Posted July 23, 2008 Looks fantastic   *edit* looking back over the thread.. the accessable roofs ... do laders work sideways too ? might look ugly i dunno .. guess you wanted a more dynamic action ..like just runing from one roof to another .

bravo 6 0 Posted July 23, 2008 1024x768 1024x768 Yes, ladders work. I just don't know why sometimes they have blue color and other times they have rusty color I already had in the terrain, after binarize it, the rusty color ladder. But for this pic i got a blue color.. Can someone explain why this happens? edit: the ladders im using are the BIS original ones.

bravo 6 0 Posted July 29, 2008 I would like to inform Al Amiriya might take more time them the planed, because i now intend to build my own Iraqi models/houses. Im still a noob at it, but im learning and i intend to improve my skills and hope i can do it. Ill try by best so i can continue with Al Amiriya it self. This decision was taken because i would like to have more diversified models for these kinda war theme. I believe its a good bet because this 'war style' will probably remain for alot of time. If people want to suggest type of houses, textures etc, please do. It might help even if its only for inspiration and ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcash2009 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Its your baby and that's great news, but would you consider wrapping this up as is for release and tests to then take the feedback / and add your models on the final release (so selfish people like ma can get my hands on the map so far with current models) If not cool either way really.

Edvri 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Pherhaps something like these dwellings?? http://lh6.ggpht.com/_c9QK9G....00_1624 Sorry bout that!! Maybe you can fabricate some areas like this it woud look very nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 6 0 Posted July 30, 2008 @mrcash2009: a lot things really miss in the terrain, i can't just release it.. it would not make sense if i did. @Edvri: your link is not working My first model ever, not finished though. Just started yesterday from zero, but when i tested in game it almost works as i wanted. Solid floor and walls with the proper floors sound also Ais can't shoot trough them nor pass. 1024x768 1024x768 Have the same bug as one of the pics of Avgani when building are destroyed, they become in "sleep position" hihi.. (don't know why yet, but i will find out) Still have alot to learn and it takes time. Hope people understand "again" this new decision PS- textured will be improved.

Ah I see, sorry thought from screenies that part was near done. Your own models would certainly make for an original map so its well worth the extra effort I guess. Have you scouted the net for free 3ds models that might be around to use as base point to then re-work? I am so far behind with 3D etc I haven't looked but many moons ago I remember making a street/subway scene and after sniffing around I found many real nice models free to manipulate. Might speed up the process a little .. im rambling really but that model you have already is a good start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 6 0 Posted July 30, 2008 one villa and one small city are almost done but i have another 3 or 4 villas do build. The rest is and huge empty space with palm trees and ground textures and some rocks. (maybe animals, who knows) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kerry 0 Posted July 31, 2008 GREAT news that you'le be making you're own models! That will add a hole other element to ArmA! I wish you luck with your map, and keep up the awesome work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edvri 0 Posted July 31, 2008 Well here is the pic: http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/2615/1001624yj1.jpg If you can somehow manage to get the buildings like this it would be great. Some buildings just look like standard Bis buildings, although the walls on the roofs are a bit higher. Also would it be possible to enter most of the buildings? It would be great for missions with searching for weapons cashes. Keep on the great work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some buildings just look like standard Bis buildings, although the walls on the roofs are a bit higher. Also would it be possible to enter most of the buildings? It would be great for missions with searching for weapons cashes. Keep on the great work I intend to do most (if not all) buildings enterable. Compatible with AI path. (its what im doing atm) But theres alot to learn and some nice technics i want to learn (its only my 1st model ever) The most difficult (imo) in all of this is to get a good texture for the models, but i found a way of saving space and use the ones we know. Heres an wip example: 1024x768 1024x768 Obs: It's far from finished! keep posting images of Iraqi houses for inspiration and more ideas. Suggestions/critics are also welcome. The model already have the destruction and ruin animation, tested and working.. WEeee! (its ironic, building them to be able to destroy hihi) edit: added the inside pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callsign 128 Posted July 31, 2008 heya, good looking island. I'd say a generic sand/ mud colour would be better for most of the buildings, maybe brick and concrete for the more modern looking buildings, and lots or rubbish and heaps around the place. Not sure of the bamboo huts as well for iraq. just a thought though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 6 0 Posted August 2, 2008 yup, i have to agree. Huts will probably be replaced for some home made models and i found a way of using good textures Edit1: the image Edvri posted is very inspiring by the way. Keep posting for more diversified models. Edit2: i also intend to make some of the models with animation (garage, doors etc..) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 6 0 Posted August 2, 2008 PM monty67t and ask for access to his reference library. what does it contain exactly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linker Split 0 Posted August 2, 2008 PM monty67t and ask for access to his reference library. lo monty67t, Opteryx suggested in Al Amiriya thread to contact you and ask you for your reference library. I noticed in an ACE thread that you posted some Iraq photos while your tour of duty in Iraq. Don't know if you read my post some time ago asking if you had some pics of Al Amiriya, so i could get a better idea of the exact environment. Now that im able to do my own models in O2, any Iraq picture with the local buildings etc would be very useful for simulating Al Amiriya as it is in reality. So, im writing this mp to ask if you can give me access to your reference library, like Opteryx suggested. Thanks for your attention. cheers, b6 Lol... maybe you forgot to access the PM creation page? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 6 0 Posted August 4, 2008 Damn forum bug! It just screwed up my mp to monty67t! I just checked my sent mp's and it registered that i sent a message with what Linker Split wrote above. I bet i won't get hes help now that this happened. And i too damn tired to explain what really happened. Too bad Placebo locked the "Get the forum fixed" thread, i was going to post there this situation that happened to me and what this bugs are exactly doing.
