    Faces of War [WW2]

    @FormerHITPmodTeam & @FOWmodteam & contributors & players & Bohemia & Community etc.... Keep up the good work, keep developing your excellent modding gaming craftman skills. Big up for keeping and expanding this beautifull mod. It lifts up my spirit. Greetz Waxbutter+SD, former HIPmod Nerd 😉
  2. Hell in the Pacific 0.5 beta release Finally after many years of development, we witness the first release of Hell in the Pacific, a mod that tries to cover the events that took place in Asia and the Pacific during the Second World War. We decided to give our first release the rather arbitrary version number 0.5. We felt the need to release the mod now for various reasons, but would like to point out that the mod is still in beta phase as there are many unfinished and missing things we have yet to implement. This first release is dedicated to land combat in the Pacific and the India/Burma theatres, mainly on the finished or at least almost finished maps 'Tarawa', 'Peleliu' and 'Kohima Ridge'. We will include other WIP islands as well, so you can see what we are working on. The same is true for many of the air and sea components of the mod. These things are still in beta stage of development, but will be included as some sort of sneak peek or preview. Feature List Below is a small feature list of what is included in HIP 0.5 beta: -Three factions complete with vehicles and aircraft -Three more or less finished islands along with some very WIP ones -Several Modules that add new features like Logistics, Artillery, Suppression, ... -A mission pack Requirements & Installation Hell in the Pacific requires: ArmA 2: Combined Operations (CO; this is ArmA 2 and the Add-on Operation Arrowhead combined into one game) with at least Patch 1.62 Community Base Addons (CBA) Installation: If you are installing the archive version of Hell in the Pacific: -Extract the archive and copy its contents (the mod folder) to your ArmA 2 main folder. -Get more information on how to use mod folders on Armaholic.

    Hell in the Pacific MOD

    Hi Nickmow, yes we are planning LVT (A) 1 and / or (A) 4 for the second phase of the mod. But first we are focussing on gameplay and basic/most common vehicles (Beta release) . Getting all variations of vehicles will require more time/work for our small developer crew, which will push back our Beta release date. So expect a beta release without the variations, and additional releases/patches will contain variation for most of the vehicles. Greetz Waxbutter

    very nice job there, ProfTournesol do you wanna put your skills back in action for Arma2/OA/CO ? Greetz Waxbutter ;-)

    @ Yamatoforever : we would like to cover the whole period but due to our limited resources we will focus our efforts on the time frame of the Tarawa and Peleliu campaigns. @ Stephsen : we will keep the autozoom on the weapons as is for now, but will take you advise/suggestion under consideration.

    Peleliu : 2.5x2.5 km (512x512px*5meters) (Progress 80%) Tarawa : 5x5 km (1024x1024px*5meters) (Progress 75%) Guadalcanal : 20x20 km (2048x2048px*10meters) (Progress 30%) Birma : 20x20km (2048x2048px*10meters) (Progress 0%) We did test real life scaled terrain and its huge ingame, eats alot of time to get from A to B. So the terrain is scaled down, for the following reasons : - game engine handling, (less memory usage)(good FPS) - gameplay, players arent spread out too much, greater change of running into enemy troops. - Higher resolution on terrain vertex's so we can use trenches drawn into the terrain heightmap. The smaller maps are great for infantry battles and offcourse the larger maps support larger battles (Ships Airplanes Tanks etc.). The challange always is the balance between : Small-Map/HighResolution and Large-Map/Medium to Low Resolution. Greetz Waxbutter

    Its a combination of both, heightmap has the shape of the trenches, and with the custom objects you simulate the dug up sand/dirt walls. Its a trade off because you'll need some resolution on the heightmap, so its very hard to use this technique on large maps. I hope you'll find the right balance to achieve something similair.

    The issue hasnt been completely ignored, as Rip31st has contacted me and politely asked me to remove any models of which you guys claim to be the original owners, i will comply to this request. Also in that conversation Rip31st stated that Troc and Alper never gave us permission. But i can recall we had permission of all involded modellers !! : Troc told/emailed Pedersen he would be glad to help us out by contributing models to us, and i personally have asked Alper permission to use his base model of the LCM3, uponwhich i allready moddeled/build further, unwrapped, textured and rigged/configged. All this was shortly after Troc, Pedersen and Waxbutter left FOW due to a copyright issue. But as requested : We will stop using 31stMod/FOW content for our gameplaytests, so no upcoming gameplaytestvideos should contain any of these models. Hopefully this will suffise to clear up the issue, Greetz Waxbutter.
