Excellent news ebanks. I'm looking forward to it.

Can't wait for this :man3:

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

This week? Great xD, hopefully someone can shed some light on the unit updates too.

[Fox '09 14]

some pics of wip baghdad.

ebanks has done a very good job with the map, some neighborhoods have been reworked, added , etc. Here are some shots of some of the reworked neighborhoods.

Heh, sorry about the low lods.

Plenty of roadblocks to give you trouble!

A market area near the tip of the city

[Fox '09 14]

Some stuff near the market,

erm, palace thing :D

i hope you guys are excited as I was/am :D

[Devil Dogs SF 13]

Geez, that looks great! How is FPS on the new version compared to the older version, Fox?

[Fox '09 14]

it's around the same as the vanilla, but in one of the OA objects areas there is a very 'laggy' market but I think Ebanks is aware of it.

need to bug him about replacing and adding mosques + those laggy minarets (1 res lod, i think..)

[ebanks129 10]

about the same. I didnt notice any drop :)

Lol will look into the mosques and checking out the lag market.

i will check this out as soon as i finish my arrest report and after download is finished :) i knew my signature would work :P

edit : i cheked it out and as you said its a very small update but continue this way and before you know it it will look and FEEL like a realy big city (the OA houses strangly do fit very wel in this map and fills out those big gaps at certain places)

good job keep up the good work and can't wait for the next update :)

how are the other projects going especialy the Kunar Province ? it also looks very very well

i have been looking around the map and i got an small idea for you

how about a shady neighborhood with very small dirty streets with most of the OA shops and market stalls (something like bakara market) where people deal in all sorts of stuff (legal and illegal)

Edited August 22, 2010 by supergruntsb78
tried the map :) and watch the pics of the other projects and got an idea

[metalcraze 290]

I've tested this map since its betas, but now that it's getting closer to how it should look - some critique:

a) many estates have only 1 entrance/exit through walls (mostly the ones in blocks where buildings are in two rows). This forces the player to only use roads to move across the city. This should be fixed. Either make the hole in those inner walls or remove some altogether.

b) some districts are the exactly same building model copy-pasted all too many times - this in contrast with really great districts (like those where buildings don't repeat) look very very awkward

c) still many empty spaces - sometimes 500 m without any buildings. But I take it you will fill this with something later

Some recommendations:

a) I think you need to mix older districts with OA buildings now that you can

b) some more bushes would be nice to have or detail in general - like gates or something. Otherwise looks too copy-pasted, too artificial

c) would be nice to have a more varied ground texture

But some places on this map really do look great, like a real city. Actually those districts I mentioned give me a Tonal vibe. I really miss the map of such quality from OFP. I will certainly enjoy having missions on this map when it will be finished

Do we need to delete Baghdad objects.pbo and Baghdad.bisign's? All the Armaholic link had is Baghdad.pbo.

[Fox '09 14]

no, it needs to stay. mirrors need to be informed of this,

+1

i complety agree with the above

Looks like archive at armaholic is broken, there is only baghdad.pbo, and it fails at 98% unpack. downloaded from both mirrors, and also from rapidshare. strange.

downloaded it from both sites yesterday and all worked without problems.

ps baghdad.pbo is te only file as its the only one updated

[ebanks129 10]

Please be aware it might be awhile before I get back to this map. It wasn't really my intention to take on the full load of it. But I did it for you guys to keep making small updates slowly.

[Dominges 10]

baghdad.pbo is te only file as its the only one updated

ok. I found correct archive at another rapidshare mirror.

There to download full version? Here: http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&id=83012 ?

Also i see another small updates before 1.2, and there is baghdad_obj been updated too. So, there is no cumulative update? I need to download all updates? And also, bisign not updated in 1.2? (%

upd: downloaded full version, and patched with 1.2. Got error from avgani village (requires CAPlants, strange, i have CO), and error from baghdad map in editor: "Cannot open object baghdad_obj/cluttercutter.p3d". Also got strange bugs on map, airfield runway on incorrect place and some black buildings: png

And also, in-game error: "Cannot load texture ca\misc\data\klabosnice.pac."

[supergruntsb78 67]

do you run the CAA1 project ? its needed for afghani village and with that also for this island (the CA addons indicate ARMA 1 = CAA 1 project as its the conversion of arma 1 buildings and stuff to arma 2)

the black buildings are the icons used by afghani city and village and does'nt mean a lot as the building still show normaly (its the same with afghani / afghani village / Sekakah al Jawf)

please dont forget thisa island is still being worked on and some stuff needs to get done (like airfields etc.)

Edited August 27, 2010 by supergruntsb78

[Dominges 10]

do you run the CAA1 project?

Looks like my fault. Will test with CAA1. Thanks.

And yea, i'm understand that the project still WIP, and not all things finished

upd: tested with CAA1. "Cannot open object baghdad_obj/cluttercutter.p3d" error is still present, and black buildings on map too.

strange on the error did you instal baghdad version 1 (it looks like the baghdad_obj.pbo is missing) first and updated the baghdad.pbo file or did you only install the baghdad.pbo ?

the black buildings on map is normal and is not a problem it has to do with the OPX buildings pbo and is also present on afghani (at least with me)

[Dominges 10]

supergruntsb78, i installed full (maybe full) 258 mb version from http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&id=83012, and then updated baghdad.pbo from latest mini-update: http://www.multiupload.com/X244JOFAL3

i think, i missed another old mini-update with baghdad_obj.pbo updated too.
