I am currently working on some modifications for Brk area, the "town" and the base as well :

- Adding building to Brk "town"

- Adding stones, rocks, bushes around town and base

- Adding walls and modifying the fences around base [along Chernarus large airfield model]

Many modifications already done around Severnsk, Zuud, Suppr town and base, Kombinat and also in the Sbrodj valley in order to provide a better cover for units movements.

- Adding stones, rocks, bushes.

I will try not to add too much objects in order not to change map character and playability.

sounds good! looking forward to it. not to rush greatness, but any guess as to when you'll be ready to release Old Bear?

EDIT: my fault, sorry for the confusion... has to do with Project 85, not Sbrodj.

updated /changed port of BE wafare @ Sbrodj to 2.049 http://urclan.org/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item40

Changelog of BE warfare v2.049 port to Clan ADO's Sbrodj Isle (Warfare@Sbrodj BE V2.049):

- civilian boats are present both tied up @ harbor and tooling around in the ocean. the resistance have captured several RHIBs and they are present and useable there as well.

- added light aa @ harbors and civil air transport. added some aa to airports and unmanned aa at camps sierra and november

- the resistance has acquired a sizable airforce by defections of insurgents and CDF from neighboring chernarus conflict. however, MOST of the air power is grounded due to lack of pilots. a purge of the defectors occurred due, in part, to their taste in music. all grounded air are useable if you can capture the airports without destroying them. caution is advised if starting or operating near the airports.

- placed "climb over" objects around the airport chain link fencing to assist ai infantry squads. temp fix but it works!

- additional tweaking to some start points

- numerous other small changes probably transparent to the user.

Thanks

Benny, Old Bear of Clan ADO and URC

Nice! d/l now, thanks Old Bear.

A great map with many possibilities for mission makers. I like the buildings too since you can actually put AI inside them. It has the same issue as the first version of Namalsk. Too much grass makes this map run slower than Chernarus.

[oldbear 390]

Slower than Chernarus ? Playing Sbrodj alone or with a lot of addons ? On a Commodore 64 ?

The 1.33 version adding many object is a bit more pulling on the rig but I still have a decent FPS count except around big town.

Of course my "Rolling Thunder" armour test battle featuring more than 200 tanks is pulling the FPS under 25 ...

The map has been built with middle/low PC specs in mind, that's the reason why I am a bit surprised.

[Gutm@sher 10]

I get much better performance on sbrodj vs chernarus. assumed it was due to less dense forests. pretty smooth here.

edit @Old Bear - small error report - on road headed north east out of pletky there is a line of bushes, a tree and a rock in the road. like what you've done with the place!

That's always the problem with vegetation trying to grow inconspicuously between releases.

I will try to correct the thing quickly.

I'm running the GDT Mod Plants addon which ofcourse slows the game down since there is more grass. Then again even Chernarus works just fine with the grass mod. The gameplay remains smooth if you go to the hills or other parts of the map with low grass. Many of the villages or open fields with tall grass have poor performance. I gotta say this map completely surprised me. So many different military bases, villages and farms.

Good job Old Bear :)

Here is an improved config:

Basing new worlds on Utes saves a lot of definitions.

Removed all obsolete and problematic definitions.

[oldbear 390]

A new step in building Sbrodj :

V1.34 Public release,

Changelog :

- Modified .cpp as suggested by Kju (Thanks Kju !)

- Repositioning misplaced trees and rocks in the Sbrodj Valley (bug report by Gutm@sher, thanks!)

- Repositioning misplaced walls in Sbrodj.

[sickboy 13]

Sbrodj mirrored on the rSync network

[Gutm@sher 10]

have updated BE warfare port on sbrodj to 2.050 both vanilla and ACE. will provide d/l link in 1-2 days. made some changes as well:

- further tweaking of town center / camps in some towns to ensure more urban combat at settlements.

- added 4 capture points (37 total) at hopefully fun locations.

- the resistance have recved a shipment of mines from ACME Corp. and have used them to bolster the airfield defenses

note: the editor placed resistance aircraft can cause the JIP fire bug. Jip fire bug...or...resistance airforce...tough choice. you'll have to decide.

I think I'll just be porting benny's ACE versions after vanilla 2.050. after you play ace a bit its hard to go back!

Hi Old Bear,

noticed your post with the last update included the line "a new step in building Sbrodj". are there future plans for the island that you can share with us?

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

He's building up to 2.0 if i remember correctly. I think that's what he meant.

[oldbear 390]

2.0 ? Hell no !

My goal is a 1.4 more or less final version, as said in a previous post :

The general overhaul of the map with a lot of tweaking , to do :

* _Sat enhanced,

* Mid.mco texture updated,

* Road net cut in shorter sections and "smoothed",

* Buildings, walls and side-walks moved to better position,

* Unwelcome trees and bushes cut from road and path.

... will be done after completion of the [too many ?] projects I am working on.

So I am going to that goal by small steps, often out of the previous path to fulfil my gamer friends needs ^^.

So next step was a projected work on roads, and I am currently working on textures and _Sat, but next release content will probably be different ...

For a while, I am building other maps and will go back to Sbrodj in 15 days.

I will wait a bit for bug report, expression of unexpected need and so on.

[Darkhorse 1-6 16]

Ahh. I said IF i remembered right. :D

[GLeek 10]

That's always the problem with vegetation trying to grow inconspicuously between releases.

I will try to correct the thing quickly.

Thanks :p*

edit: you still plan to sparse a bit grass right ?

[oldbear 390]

I am wondering about the right balance between objects/grass quantity and FPS level.

I think that the last added objects ... in fact much more than 10 000, are pulling down the FPS too much and I need some more feedback about that.

One of my objective in building the map was of making a map playable by all my fellow gamer, not only the top of the notch rig owner, ... and I have still this goal in mind.

[whisper 0]

/concur, FPS going down on latest release for me. Can't remember the name of the village, north-east of central castle ruins

the road there, surrounded by trees line, is quite CPU intensive now. I don't remember having this in 1st released version

[[aps]gnat 28]

Love this map!

Can't wait to try a few CTIs on it.

[oldbear 390]
