mondkalb 1087 Posted December 12, 2009 (edited) Yes, yet another Island... Image #6 Overview map of Kellu Features: Four new -walkable- buildingsParliament Store Office Outlook 145 new, smaller Objects Parking lots Roadsigns/Signposts Street-name sings Four new bird species Potato clutter Five to Six times bigger than Utes Island No Airport Nine Cities/Villages I have tried (and hope to have succeeded in) creating an island, that is supporting infantry fight in many ways. Therefore this island has some distinct key locations to aid missiondesigners in creating thrilling and demanding tasks. The island features huge cliffs, a remote castle, thrilling forests, mountains, raw countrysides, urban areas with larger towns, a rather sophisticated road net, and much more. But most important: It's kept realistic. So don't expect sky scraping cities next to poor villages, bombastic Industry or an International Airport. In fact, since the Island of Kellu is quite small compared to real life islands, it doesn't even have any airports at all. A scruffy harbor has to do the trick.. The island's mountain region contains a large gold mine which created enormous prosperity, which resulted in a rather modern island.

Simon C 0 Posted December 12, 2009 Only one bug for me so far, terrain appears to be missing parts at distance, all is good otherwise! Looks like this: http://img40.imageshack.us/i/arma22009120217053448.png/ (yes, I know the picture is of namalsk, but the bug looks much the same.) :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johncage 30 Posted December 13, 2009 very nice sprawling terrain. i have some suggestions though. the edge of the roads where it blends into the grass seems to be grey and concrete-like. shouldn't it be grassy or muddy? several of the mountain tops could use more varied texture. such as a combination of patches of gravel, rocks, grass and dirt. also, about the urban areas. they seem to stick out. many of the buildings are build very close to the grass.

Joona 10 Posted December 13, 2009 Great island, but that grey texture under the buldings is annoying specially in small villages or farms. And I know it looks good from map, but isnt it better to remove them since I think that the actual playing view is more important then the map. Someones may think this not annoying, but this is just my oppinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rubberkite 19 Posted December 13, 2009 Great Island :) I also like the golden mine area.. If the open is little larger ... airwolf can take off or land in the mine :) I find some rpt problem: Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 143, 137, 144 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 141, 135, 142 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 140, 147, 136 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 147, 139, 148 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 140, 139, 147 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 147, 148, 141 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 147, 141, 142 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 145, 146, 143 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 145, 143, 144 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 145, 138, 146 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 146, 147, 142 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 146, 142, 143 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 105, 123, 102 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 105, 102, 104 these ST are performance enemy so I hope you'll try to fix thank you rubber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krycek 349 Posted December 13, 2009 Really like this island and especially the towns layout,not some random houses scattered around. But the mountains could get some improvement maybe bigger and rockier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mondkalb 1087 Posted December 13, 2009 Warning: mbg_kellu_objects\m\buildings\mbg_parlament.p3d:0 Error while trying to generate ST for points: 143, 137, 144[...] As said in the readme.txt these errors inherit from the only unbinarised object I used. I had to leave it as mlod, since otherwise the Geo-Lod wouldn't work. I have no idea why this happens to this particular .p3d, all the others work fine when binarised.

Dmahon 10 Posted December 13, 2009 This terrain is stunning, but I have found a bit of a bug when it comes to using the map with lower terrain settings... a picture says a thousand words ( All settings on very high apart from terrain, post processing and Anti-aliasing ) I've never seen this sort of bug before, but it only seems to happen when I try to play the map with anything below "Very High" terrain settings which can be quite demanding from my rig (Same settings as last time but with Terrain set to "Very High") Just thought I would leave this as a bug report, hope it works out!
