Island Panthera for ArmA 2

[TheCappy 10]

Is there a Benny Edition 2.057 available for this island, or only earlier versions? It doesn't seem to be one of the islands supported in the main download.

So, I see there will be multiple texture changes and changes to trees, but will there there be any changes that would effect a mission? AGW is going to be having a campaign soon and I need to know if I need to go over the maps again to make sure nothing is overlapped and such with changes.

Basically what I'm asking for is a changelog ASAP, if possible. I don't mean to rush.

There are no changes to the layout. Yesterday we completed several SP/MP tests on the clutter and trees. Bugfixes will be incorporated in the public v2.5 release (hopefully day or two). Sorry for the delay.

hey Ice

Now I've finished Evolution for Duala, can I make a Panthera version?

[icebreakr 3159]

That would be awesome eggbeast.

[icebreakr 3159]

I've overcame the optimization problems and download will be available soon.

[vasmkd 12]

@Icebreakr

I noticed some of the buildings on Panthera have doors where you can walk through without opening them, and when inside some of the buildings you can see out, as there were no doors and no windows. Will this be corrected in the updated version?

PS. Or maybe does this have to do with the Proper addon I am using? I am using the buildings low visuals addon from kju, for better performance. On other islands it looks good, but on Panthera like I described above.

[icebreakr 3159]

Send me PM with pic or location coordinates so I can check it out. So far I didn't encounter that.

[mikebart 1]

looking good, im assuming you adjusted the water colour to make it that blue? looks nice.

[icebreakr 3159]

Yeah, same as I did on Duala. I've compared reallife photos of rivers and they match due to very bright pebble stones. But lakes are usually much darker.

Interesting facts:

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian movie has been filmed near Bovec (center W of Panthera), you can check out shots here.

Here is a photo of Bohinj Lake, its too bad that current V3 tools are limiting me way too much to create it more like this:

just had a go on this map and its bloody awsome. well made map for sure

[JSj 12]

Yes, awesome map. I do not know of any other map where it's fun just walking around on the empty island just enjoying the amazing scenery.

Hey IceBreakr,

any news on your Panthera-Update? We are playing Panthera once a week on Thursday on our BCA-Gaming Nights and of course I am very excited to review your latest work. ;-)

By the way there will be minimum of 19 AAS-Missions so far (not counting Templates) for Panthera with the upcoming final release of the AAS-Package (most require the Little-Bird-Addons as well!). The 3rd Campaign of the AAS-Based AGW-Tournament with up to 100 players is also taking place on Panthera with these missions. Just in case someone wants to see this awesome masterpiece of a terrain in Multiplayer-Environments.

cu!

Well, I still need to look if I can incorporate the taxi path and ILS systems for Boryana in Smugglers airports. Then its done.

Next project is Duala v1.5 featuring civilians and armies.

And another island in the works together with Diablo: Jade Groove.

@Icebreakr

Coming back on the problem with the houses on Panthera. It was the low visuals PROPER addon from kju causing this. I removed the low visuals for buildings and the problem is gone.

Waiting for the updated version :)

:eek:

Sweet, will ALICE spawn the African civilians?

[warden308 0]

Looking very promising!
