Island Panthera for ArmA 2

[icebreakr 3157]

What version are you using?

Are you sure you have ibr_plants.pbo installed in the same folder as panthera2.pbo?

[ArmAIIholic 10]

I created CO20 sandbox / free roam mission for Panthera if anyone is interested.

I thought it is convenient to post announcement here, since I downloaded map from here.

Thanx for the great island and jungle/hills/desert fights. It is fantastic for sandboxing.

I'm making a snow version of Panthera in couple of months. Are there any capable modelers out there who would dedicated couple of hours to create various snow bumps of different sizes and shapes that could be used through out the map? ;) tnx.

hmmm and how will it be with the desert & jungel parts?? I sugget you to make an Northern part with snow but its your island so you decide ;)

[icebreakr 3157]

It would be a full convert, so entire island would be covered in snow. There are not too many trees used so they will get replaced with snow-covered versions (retex only). Jungle vegetation will be replaced with pines and beech. Too bad that we cannot simulate physics for snow like its featured in Mafia II where snow drops from carroof when you put the vehicle in motion ;)

Of course, blizzard would be cool. Map time will be set to December so bad weather automatically brings snow and fog when using Arrowhead content.

[galzohar 31]

Does the game even allow for snow bumps to not be bullet proof (yet also not totally transparent to bullets)?

[sweguy96 10]

Jungle vegetation will be replaced with pines and beech.

or you could make a crysis "snow jungel" http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/article/901/901140/crysis-warhead-20080820032554447.jpg :D. now that would be cool but i dont think berghoff (or whats his name is) would be pretty happy if you stole his jungel vegetion (spelling) :D

[nettrucker 142]

That's cool I was hoping for some more good winter and snow maps.

keep it up IceBreakr.

Emm sweguy96, Panthera does not use Berghoff's work. I have A1 trees that I've imported directly from Sahrani :P courtesy of BIS of course.

aha i thought that the jungel vegetaion (spelling) was berghoffs & i'm pretty sure you cant do anything with BIS work either b/c you doesnt have the license

[andersson 285]

As long as you use it in other BIS games its ok.

Did you use the mlods or did you take the models straight as they are? You have all right regardless, just curious :)

I have this problem not just with panthera. I think it's the game trying to find a mission script when "running" the island as the background in the main menu, but since the mission is over it can't find the script anymore. Probably wouldn't cause any issues as it's just the background in the main menu. At least that's my guess ;)

You got it right. I found a temp solution is if when making a mission on Panthera you have units as playable only & none as player is says "no player selected" on exit instead of the "cant find UPS" error which look less buggy.

[bearbison 10]

Just started using Panthera again after a long time and notice that in the RPT file I am getting a lot of the following warnings appearing:

Warning: Road selection asf10 25_0.05 has wrong name format
Warning: Road selection asf10 100_0.05 has wrong name format
Warning: Road selection asf10 75_0.05 has wrong name format

[jgaz-uk 132]

Icebreaker Re; the "UPS not found" on Panthera Would an intro for this island fix the problem?????

ps No loadscreen or outro or whatever you call it for when you finish a mission on Panthera. Your other islands dont have this problem?:bounce3:

[icebreakr 3157]

Its not a island bug, its BIS bug. When you play mission with such a script as UPS.sqf and then return to the main menu your old mission gets loaded but such script is not included in the "AI demo" rolling in the back of menu ;)

BearBison: thats strange, are you sure you're not using CAA or any other mods?

[mr.peanut 1]

IceBreakr. Would you please take a few minutes to add:

scenes\intro.panthera2\intro.sqs

scenes\intro.panthera2\mission.sqm

It would be greatly appreciated. :bounce3:

I'll send you a gerbil!

[bearbison 10]

No addons running other than the island, only thing is it is with OA/BAF now rather than just A2.

[icebreakr 3157]

Will check it out when I'm done with Lingor project.

[mr.peanut 1]

Thanks!

Any clues on how to get ambient civilians functioning on this island? I tried ALICE and ALICE (Expansion) with debug mode - I can see the markers are present to spawn civilians, but none ever seem to spawn. Same seems to go for Isla Duala.

[icebreakr 3157]

Fatty86: well, Panthera doesn't have any "alice-compatible" buildings present or very few I should say. But there are other ways to spawn civilians via scripting.

Duala should have working civilians via standard Alice (Ambient Civilians module) but you need Duala full version (not Lite).

[icebreakr 3157]

So far I didn't manage to find time to make a desert of winter versions on this popular map based on RL data.

If you think I made a substantial contribution to the community with Project Panthera, please take a moment and vote for me in Community Awards 2010.

Are you a member of a distant group of chaps who have allegedly stolen large amounts of content and then produced a medium quality addon for an old game? Because if you aren't.......
