    great initiative, i am however lacking the skills so i will follow this from the sidelines.

    just one question , is the 1st of april, a fixed date ? because you know 1st of april ...

    If the participants come to the joint agreement that more time is required we can extend a month or 2 dependent on feedback!

     

    Had not thought of that! Haha

    First off, Welcome Back. 

    On its own and in absence of all the "Life Drama" that has plagued Arma in recent times, it sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, said drama has poisoned our once creative community. Where creators would have once seen a challenge, they now (rightly or wrongly) see someone trying to steal content or make money at someone else's expense. 

    On a positive note, I see it as an opportunity for a modder to showcase their abilities, gain some recognition and maybe make some money out of it. As the OP seems to suggest, if you have a suggestion about how the competition should be run (if at all) then make a suggestion to balance it back into the creators favour eg. Insist on a license that favours the modder or retain all rights...  If this seems like a bad idea, help turn it into a positive one. Constructive criticism and genuine feedback goes a long way.

    Thanks FM! Good to see you again.

     

    No negative intent here just wanted to give some blokes a good set of data and see what happens, but didn't want to be boring with it!

     

    I am happy to work with all of the community to make this better for everyone! Yeah, I have thick skin I like a bit of constructive criticism, makes you human!

    if you really want to put some money into it you may just offer it to the guy/team that actually picks it up and release a real A3 terrain out of it just to show them you appreciation.

    i do not think this is low quality source or anything but i think you will be lucky if anyone does actually pick it up and if you happen to be in the situation that two do start working on it, they maybe even join forces and share your appreciation.
    the reason why i think it would be unlikely that many guys will participate is mentioned before as a terrain maker usually wants to choose his own location.

    Again, a great idea, I had mentioned an individual or a team of people can enter! 

     

    Lets see what happens with it! Let me know if you do start a version!

    i feel like it would have gotten a much better reaction if you just provided the source data for anyone to peek in and eventually pick it up for a fully fleshed terrain project.
    the money kind of puts this past your described intention and leaves a bad taste behind.

     

    thats just my opinion so feel free to do whatever you please

    Again, fair point, I will happily remove the cash incentive then if the above is the general consensus! No skin off my back!

    Currently doing a quick and dirty import into A3 with your source files just to see how they look ingame, I really appreciate you giving these files to the community for free - uncoupled from anyone´s feelings towards the competition

    That is really nice to hear! It's not all perfect by anyone's standard but hopefully provides a base to build off!

    I appreciate the idea but as others have said before, restricting terrain makers to a specific island will put many people off. Furthermore it´s quite a lot to expect that anyone will be able to complete a quality terrain with a quality mission in 3 months. Certainly possible but pretty tough. 

     

    EDIT: These source files are pretty high quality ^^

     

     

    I see your POV mate! I can always extend past 3 months if people needed it! Just trying to give something back to a community that's been pretty supportive!

    Yeah times have changed, maybe put peoples minds at ease.

     

    What happens with the terrain/entries once you selected a winner ?

    Will it be free for all to use, available on PW6/Armaholic etc or exclusive to your server and community only ?

    Is your community monitized ?

    That sounds fair!

     

    They can be released into the public domain by their owners, completely at their discretion. 

     

    All free! Always free it's the ArmA community!

     

    I am not a community or a server, just a member of the community! Literally just got some high quality data and wanted to give it to the community, except with a cash incentive.

    All this "Free data" takes like 10mins to get. All you have done is zipped them up lol

     

    You are welcome to try and find 4M DTM of the Island for free. I couldn't! So I purchased some topographic maps (digital) traced the contours and then after some fiddling generated a pretty accurate DTM, I then tidied it up in Visitor 4 and VBS and exported the work in progress ASC.

    I can remove the cash incentives if people aren't interested!

     

    You can treat it as some free data, work in progress at a high resolution or you can jump in and create your best attempt at a project!

     

    The data is all geo projected and I am now aware that TB requires a different type of projection!

     

    Was just a quick thought to release it as a fun competition, no one has to jump in at all!

    Hello All!

     

    It has been a while since I have posted on the forums! (Personal Life and all that jazz) I have been a member of the community since OFP however, I didn't migrate my usernames and it seems it has all been lost in translation.

     

    My original usernames probably included something similar to OChristie etc! ;)

     

    Quick Background: OFP, ArmA 1/2/3, VBS 1/2/3. I make terrains and love it!

    Lampedusa Challenge

    The best terrain, mission and unit content pack wins!

     

    Summary

     

    The community that exists for any large game title always manages to bring a new dynamic to its respective platform. With the ease of modification to the ArmA platform since its conception, the possibilities have truly been endless. Because of all of this, I am very interested to see just how far we can take this little project.

     

    Lampedusa Island is here.

     

    I would do this myself however I don't feel that I have the skill in A3 terrain development and I love the power that the community have!

     

    Structure

     

    This challenge can be completed as an individual or as a team.

     

     

     

    The Challenge

     

    To create the best or most interesting terrain of Lampedusa, Italy combined with an in depth, diverse and fun mission to explore it. (Think CTI, COOP, Domination).

    If you want to create a content pack then feel free!

     

    Competition Rules

     

    You will have no more than 3 months to complete the challenge and all entries MUST be submitted as a reply to the main BI Forums thread by the 1st April 2017.

     

    Most importantly have fun!

     

    Tools

     

    You are able to use any GIS / Terrain / Mission tools that BI authorise the community to use.

     

    Data

     

    The starter pack contains Imagery, Elevation and Vector data which should point you in the right direction.

     

    You can download the data here: LampedusaChallenge.rar (via Google Drive ~275mb)

     

    Testing

     

    You are welcome to publicly test your Terrains / Missions on the A3 servers.

     

    Good luck.

     

    P.S. This thread will grow, please feel free to ask questions and I will add any key information to the thread.
