Island Panthera for ArmA 2

[enad 11]

Yeah this is a really weird issue. I've been messing around with it for awhile....I cant seem to get it working. :(

[blaunarwal 10]

it works well with Duala deactivated, otherwise I have a crash to desktop. I feel like textures load longer, before it's ready, when starting a mission in preview.

The desert is way too inhabited now to my opinion. It was great to hide within the dunes before. Now it's kind of urban fighting there, what you can do in any village on every island. The special thing about the panthera desert is lost with 2.6.

I will stick to 2.5 for my mission. Hope this will stay compatible with future Duala versions.

I still do not know how to install and play Panthera V2.6.

can someone guide me step by step?

Thanks

Some people just have hard-of-thinking IceBreakr ! Seriously, some players need to

a) read the f*&*&king manual that comes with the game

b) be a troll around the forums and READ

c) USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION

d) ONLY after they have carried out a-c do they ask here !

I think you meant *lurker*, not troll. :)

Great Island !

But i have a crazy white border at all the beach (looks like white paint) where the water starts...looks really crazy.

And the Airport on the right of the Map has some "ground lights" at the start of the runway. If you are far away (standing at a hill) and look at the airport you see a strong and bright red glow effect.

Maybe you can look into that.

[kenosis 10]

I can see Panthera under Armoury.

is that correct to play Panthera?

look at the airport you see a strong and bright red glow effect.

this is also in chernarus and the other airports - it's a useful navigation feature for pilots...

right i just downloaded it - will put unmodded evo on sometime over the weekend.

Panthera/Duala Troubleshooting

The thing is, the solution you have listed for the grass problem...is not the soultion in my case. I even deleted Isla Duala and Panthera(again) and put Duala in the folder, then put Panthera in and overwrite the ibr_plants.pbo to make sure it was newest and I go ingame and its still missing all the grass.

:(

[icebreakr 3159]

Find all .pbo's in Arma2 install folder and recheck names? Dunno...

[Razor91 17]

Can you make it impossible to connect with an older version of Panthera to a server which runs the actually version?

Wouldn't work out well because of the whole new desert.

:(

you have 3 choices to have your grass

...

run only Isla Duala with updated IBR_PLANTS.PBO

OR

run only Panthera with updated IBR_PLANTS.PBO

OR

run BOTH Isla Duala AND Panthera, but delete IBR_PLANTS.PBO from Isla Duala/Addons.

hope this helps ;)

I'm not sure that's what he meant Grimes...

@Bier...

Do you mean... "Is it possible to actually prevent someone running an older version of Panthera from joining a server running the newest version?"

This can happen at the moment - not just with Panthera, but with any island where there's been several versions... It's an issue I'm interested in myself, for when the time comes to release my island... One obvious solution would be to have a new Key for each release - not a very practical or elegant solution though...

*edit* forgot to say - very impressed with the update!. Panthera's long been my favourite island... really good to see it being improved still further!

This only works for me if I dont run Duala at all. :/

But I just tested it out last night and let me tell you it is really amazing! This has become one of my new favorite maps. The grass/clutter looks great in the woodland region and the ground textures in the desert are insane! Great work Ice! :D

[AZCoder 921]

The updates are great. Thanks for the link on an earlier post about the ibr_plants.pbo, that fixed the CTD problem for me. :D

[icebreakr 3159]

The best solution is to put both islands files into the same directory and use the latest ibr_plants.pbo. Problem will also be solved with new version of Duala feat. local civilians.

[bushlurker 46]

new version of Duala feat. local civilians

You never stop, do you Ice! :D sounds fantastic!... reasonably convincing civilians will add a great deal of atmosphere to this already very convincing terrain!

That doesnt work. Atleast not for me. I gotta disable Duala for Panthera to work. :(

But looking forward to the civvys and updated Duala.

A rare post from me :p however, I just wanted to say that I love this 'island'. It's very well made and plays well. Thanks for all the hard work! :)
