Isla Duala

[grub 10]

Ok, I'm getting close to the release of Isla Duala v1.0 and I'll soon have ready a new version of Panthera, too. Whats the big news? After more than 20 hours of config tweaking: Alice (Civilians & Civilian Vehicle) modules work on my custom island by simply placing module icons to the mission and I've been able to eliminate almost all of the RPT errors!

Enad: sent me PM, maybe a sketch what you would actually see on the map.

Thanks for all the work ICE.

@IceBreakr

It seems to be that the island @Panthera, and this island use the same name "ibr_plants.pbo"with the island Duala.

So we cannot combine it within our common Island addon map.

What i saw in the file itself is that they cannot be used together.

Renaming them would solve this simple matter ;)what are ur plans regarding this matter?

The used key is the same as panthera... can we use one key for both islands?

Great news and thanks!!

Not sure if you would know but maybe once someone creates proper African units, is there a way that they could make those units works with the ALICE mod instead of the Russian Civilians. It seems really hard to do, Im just wondering if its possible.

Also, A sketch of what? The town sizes or the more African oriented houses?

Enad altering Alice to use new "faction/nation" is possible. I just switch from CIV/RU to something else I guess? Right now only CIVs spawn, no Russian population :)

Killg0re: I'll release new ibr_plants.pbo so you can use it for Duala or Panthera, they will be the same. All RPT errors are removed from them and I've added couple of ruins.

Oh so it is possible. Cool!

But what do you mean..? What are the CIVs? They aren't the BIS Russian Civilians?

@Enad:

'CIV' and 'CIV_RU' are the civilian factions. 'CIV' = Chernarussian Civilians, 'CIV_RU' = ethnic Russian civilians.

I guess it's pretty straightforward to add new civilian factions to the list.

Hope you like new road signs I've been making yesterday ;)

Signs i can read! Nice one. Cant read any signs on Chernarus.

[icebreakr 3157]

Nazul tnx, next post will probably be from a guy complaining why we use metric system on Duala ;)

[roberthammer 582]

IceBreakr - awesome job on this :)

btw only missing some Africa animals lol :D

[Ville89 10]

Why are you using the metric system? :O just kidding.

Looking great IceBreakr!

Hey! Why are you using the metric system??? I cant read... EDIT:^^ lol same idea.

:D

Awesome sign Ice! And no - there is NOTHING to complain about regarding this island bud. :)

Latest improvements:

- Camp Noobia with following facilities: jogging course, obstacle course, driving school, shooting range (250-400m), bomb practice area, tactics range with house (to train flanking and overbounding), guard house on top of hill with great overview of the base and ambush alley (long road with fake settlement at the end). Hopefully A2 teams will use it to train their n00... err cannon foo.. ahm grunts.

- couple of town road signs at major crossroads to help players that get lost

- river crossings without bridges now have boards warning drivers of high tide :)

- satellite map with roads and runways

- removed bargates that can now be manually added by mission makers

- all four airports feature ILS and AI can use them

- AI with C130 can now take off from Afrenian airport without crashing

- fixed rpt errors in ibr_dtowns and ibr_plants (can be used on Panthera too!)

- added more savannah vegetation to the dull north areas, cut down couple of trees from roads

When? Probably today ;)

That is Awesome!!!

Seeing the runways from further away will be very welcome and the border crossings being removed was the simplest solution for everyone, truth be told, as is the high tide crossings (so we'll just use BMPs for the high tide crossings, no big deal) :)

I always thought the trees and rocks in the middle of the road were supposed to be there, to be honest... they caught me out a few times, I'll admit... I assume the rocks are still there?

Camp Noobia will be very useful, I think.

[sic-disaster 311]

Bring it on! :)
