icebreakr 3159 Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) Don't worry guys, just a little setback, I'm still using <sarcasm>this great V3 tool</sarcasm> ;) In order to justify the wait, here is the latest addition to Panthera, my little Asabana Desert: A gift to all those who love fighting in the desert, so they will have no more reason not to install v2.6 ;) I'm finalizing v2.6, release date: when its done.

KC Grimes 79 Posted April 4, 2010 This new desert you speak of sounds and looks very nice. Do you have a picture of the map so we can see where it is located? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC Grimes 79 Posted April 4, 2010 Awesome, thank you. And even with the new bit of desert, there should not be any compatibility issues with maps made in 2.31? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3159 Posted April 5, 2010 Most probably not, just bugfixes. In any case load the old mission and make a new pbo (Editor>Save as multiplayer) - it should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twisted 128 Posted April 5, 2010 dig this island. but find i can see some houses through landscape for example the a little north west of freckles in north of the island. start at freckles and head towards the nearest houses and you see building through land.

eggbeast 3685 Posted April 5, 2010 one little bit of critical feedback Ice, and meant to be nothing but helpful in your busy time here lol! some of the roads have little bits of vertex crease coming from their edges and going up a steep rise. This makes a triangular ridge that in some places impinges on the road surface itself. When driving at speed in a landrover or a chenowth dune buggy - and believe me we've been doing a lot of that - chased by hinds and havocs - if you clip the vertex crease then you can do amazing triple back corkscrew somersaults often ending in death.... :( but to much hilarity for the crew. - If you could see your way to smoothing the vertices around the edges ofthe roads, that would be a real bonus. Oneother thing - the day/night cycle is a little too quick, although we do love playing it in the dark, it's a shame to waste the eye-candy as it looks amazing at dawn/dusk. Is this set in your design? Ifso, making daylight last from 6am to 8pm would be nicer. Apart from this, the map rocks for the following reasons: a) occasionally the undergrowth is totally impenetrable! =realism! b) the rivers going into the south central area are awesome for boat patrols c) the valleys and mountains are just awe-inspiring and negotiating the passes with enemy aircraft hunting you is a real buzz d) the mapping of the land and towns really feels like a real geography = immersion! e) the aerial view is like reality and a trip to the wilderness = beautiful! f) the secret mountain bases and tropical island base are cool features g) the choice of open houses in each area is fantastic - loads of opportunity to do house-to-house, and the AI use them too. you have to watch rooftops etc... all in all - apart from sahrani which was made by a huge team - this is the best island for arma, so totally WELL DONE MATE! can't wait to see the next version.

Yeah, well known bug reported to BIS like 6 months ago. Their old hangar (old_hut02 I think is the name) shadow LOD is bugged. Only solution to that is to set Shadows from Low/Normal to High. eggbeast: thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it! Will take a ride today and try to flatten the road edges :) same happened to our team 2 weeks ago, humvee did a double flip but we managed to fix it and continue with the mission :) I have no clue about the daylight, I put Panthera to real location coordinates (Slovenia, Europe) try changing the month in mission?

It will be the biggest town on Panthera. [note: desert part of Panthera is fictional and only intended to improve the gameplay] Release of v2.6 is planned for tommorow.

kremator 1065 Posted April 7, 2010 Icebreakr this is WONDERFUL news - am an avid fan of Panthera ! Now I'm not sure about others but i found that I was getting graphics tearing around the main airport when it was destroyed. Will investigate further but wanted to flag it just in case.

eggbeast 3685 Posted April 7, 2010 krem - if this was in my version it was caused by the wmik HMG - which the UKF boys have fixed but not released, so I've taken off all wmiks HMG's for now Ice - can't wait mate. good work. I'll update evo panthera (and un-mod it) as soon as i have the island... should be a good way into the place for some people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
