The PKL version on steam will be updated. It won't require any dlc and most likely your old missions will work with easy to no adjustment.

I don't know anything aobut no PKL but I like your signature image 😉

Started using GM veg and structures.. ALPHA soon? probably.

Said it before but FTR saying it again. My terrains will require ALL and ANY coming DLC with content appropriate for the settings. Vidda will be updated with GM dlc requirement for splendid new vegetation and structures. Katya will also require it. PKL will require any future DLC that offers something for that settings should one appear. The current version of Vidda on steam will NEVER be updated. New version with dlc requirement will get it's own WS page. Vidda was actually started long ago when mondkalb told me he was working on the map for GM dlc. I would have informed of this earlier but obviously. It was secret up until last week. The vidda version currently up, will not be maintained as I overwrite the sourcefiles and can't be arsed keeping iterations sititng around so if BI does something that breaks it, tough luck. Get the real version (which may or may not be coming soon ;))

Nothing. that vidda will never ever be updated.

Just rename the folder -.-

There is very little in GM that could be used on PKL so no, it will only rely on the TERRACORE mod which yes, all my terrains will also require from next updates. Setting this up is the only big thing left before PKL is coming.

you know me too well my dude! Also I think we informed our boy candle on discord a while ago 😉

important:

I don't respond to rumors.. just spread them some times and they are almost always false. I don't know anything about no RHS. If for instance say there was something called RHS and that somebody else from that organization were to make something for Katya, they would probably show it off themselves 😉 I don't know anything about that though.. Just speculating.

That's how it is...

-.- That is a reflection map. Ever seen actual interior reflections in arma buildings? well..

???

RHSAFRF + secret

Done with airstation for now..

That depends.. usually I have the ideas built up in my head for a few months and so when I start working on one, I know the method before I start, which saves an insane amount of time. Exactly what the method is will depend on each terrain. Usually it is very hard to find good actual terrain data. There is also the thing with Arma limitations vs real terrain. Most terrain isn't even reproducible in the game. Vidda is based on actual elevation data but heavily processed and modified just to make it playable in arma. Some of this is modifying terrain slope gradients, reducing slopes above certain degrees.. etc etc etc. There are also many engine and performance related problems with a lot of altitude variation. Like if you take a real world mountain and put it in game, it might look pretty but more likely than not it is going to suck to play on. If you take a snippet of mostly any part of Norway, it won't be very fun to play on because everyone knows how certain hills suck in this game as infantry or vehicle and that AI is even worse. Then there is the issue with view ranges most people use and the distance between dominating terrain features. For instance: if you have 3km view range, 2km object draw distance and two hilltop OP with 2500m between them, you are going to have a bad time. This is just some of the forethought that goes into it and what determines the intial (and most important part) of the approach.

Meet Katya: 12x12km Russia terrain test. Who knows if it will become a thing or not? Go a few 100km east of Vidda and you will end up near the northern Russian coast. Somewhere around there you might one day find Katya.

watch in fullscreen :3

I can say with absolute certainty there may not necessarily be an update this month. Sure it is probable.. maybe even likely but I also spread rumors some months ago that it would be out before new year and those turned out to be lies... II know there are rumors floating around about such a thing and I started most of them but they are not to be trusted.

Then I did something right I guess. It is supposed to be just east of north Thailand 😛 Also not sure whose rumors you heard but I don't know anything about this month..

Thanks my dude. Bunch more things tweaked incl all textures: https://imgur.com/a/uSlnaqx <-album
