    Uro reacted to Axle in About this sub-forum.   
    Due to a lot of people talking about map making I decided to open this and the Map Release section so those interested in map making can have a place to ask for help or provide help.
     
    I know getting started can be daunting with BI tools. Hopefully this section can make it less scary.

    Could we get a map section discussing arma 3 map creation and related? Released maps could be subforums.

    I know some people here are working on new terrains and just getting into it myself it would be nice to have somewhere to discuss it other than Off Topic.

    Uro got a reaction from TheVampire in [Request] Bornholm map image.   
    The proper size of that map is 22582x22582px, which made a 1.4GB file before I resized it to the dimension's Zupa is using, map is still fully eligable at 8192x8192px, but comes in at a paltry 192mb :)
     
    The method your using, you have a 160px overlap on every image (mapframe layer overlap x 10) and 4096 images to play with, trust me I tried it.
    I even tried photoshop's automation of processes which maxed out my pc for a while and gave me a 10 mile wide panoramic instead of the result I was after lol :D
     
    These overlaps and imagecounts vary for different maps depending on how the layers were generated in relation to the mapframe in Visitor/Terrain Builder.

    In what way ? I respect and support BIS, they're a small games company doing very well, good on them.
     
     
     
    Dayz SA has a seperate dedicated team, one day i'd like to see Cherno+ as DLC, you would only moan about that though :p
    They took a risk on Dayz SA, it has to have something exclusive
     
     
     
    BIS bought the rights to Dayz mod, they own the code and have invested time, money and resources to Dayz SA, they want to protect their investment.
    Nobody is stopping you making a 'Dayz' style mod, go for it :) you just can't use copyrighted code or call it Dayz
     
     
     
    The DLC was £11.99 for the 3 packs, I paid £19.99 for the game, total spent is £31.98 for a game i've put 946 hours into, I call that good value :)

    There's a reason for that, they spent millions to make that content for you. If you want to have the rights to edit and use everything they have as you wish,  you could just buy the whole company... Then you can try how much of a wanker you want to be when you're holding the strings.
     
    Edit: Ofcourse you cant afford to buy them, why? Because instead of doing something productive, you sit on the forums calling people names that -actually do stuff-.

    Uro got a reaction from Tobias Solem in Are there any Epoch Hardcore servers?   
    I've been watching these hardcore threads for some time, as I am also one of those people who only plays Arma in first person, so I thought I'd offer my thoughts on the whole Epoch - 3DP:ON v/s 3DP:OFF situation, and some general ramblings about the state of the mod atm. (I got carried away typing, what can i say :P )
     
     
    The first Epoch server I put up as an Official Host before the server files went public was a hardcore Altis server, with all the group icons etc working as they should etc etc.
     
    It was popular back then due to a limited number of servers for people to play on, which forced people onto the HC servers (UG and CPC's).  Generally people who played on our HC servers loved it because of the realiism of first person only, many of whom had never played on a first person only server before!
     
    For a while we were averaging ~50/60 players,  then the server files were made public, and both my own and CPC's HC server populations died.
     
    This was obviously because the server pool got diluted with hundreds of other servers, when the player population of Epoch wasn't there (yet) to support that many servers.
     
    Both of us, UG and CPC persevered with our HC servers hoping that we would find those niche players that do not like 3DP.  -  Personally I find it completely unrealistic, I even played DayZ in first person on 3DP servers :P
     
    I then switched map's to a map that was created for Arma3, Bornholm, in order to attract people after a different experience than the default A3 terrains.  We had hundreds of people come through our server in this time, but they baulked at it because it was hardcore. I have heaps of chat logs with people saying "what? no third person?" "user disconnected".
     
    I have even been working with the Epoch Dev's to add official support to the map and to make it as functional as possible for Epoch and to try and raise it's profile within the Epoch world - it's already a popular map in milsim circles..
     
    The populations we have had since the server pool got diluted from ~30 servers to 100's of servers has been mediocre at best and will continue to be this way until the mod comes into beta stage, becomes more feature complete (which the dev's are working on), picks up popularity and player numbers along the way.
     
    In short I feel that a lot of people here expected another instant DayZ clone, and server operators expected instant popularity - You dont get things like these from an Alpha version of a mod, these things come later when the mod has matured past the beta stage and all the planned features from the developers have went from concept idea > alpha testing > beta stage development > added into the mod as a feature.
     
    I personally think releasing the server files so soon was a bad move on the dev's part.  It has diluted the servers, and opened up an alpha version of a mod to the general public where they are adding(or attemping to add) scripts and functions from other Arma mods into Epoch, and therefore diluting the feedback and bug reports they recieve on the vanilla mod into one of pure confusion where it's harder to decipher if a bug or undesirable condition on a server is from Epoch code, or 3rd party addons/mods/scripts that people are trying to integrate into thier servers.
     
    I'll continue to keep my vanilla Bornholm server online, supporting the Epoch devs with a vanilla server, and for now we switched back to 3DP, to gain more feedback from players that we can report to the Epoch devs.  Which in turn allows us and the other official hosts to offer our thoughts on any existing, planned and possible future features of Epoch, many of which have been taken aboard by the developers and some of which have been incorporated into Epoch already. :)

    Uro reacted to Richie in Good server hosting uk?   
    I fail to see why any GSP should support scripts, that is the job of the server admin, so long as they give you what they promise, like a working Epoch server, any customisation is entirely your choice and optional.

    That's an Arma 3 update with Advanced Flight Dynamics - more realistic flight controls.
     
    You can disable them with these settings in your servers config.cfg:
     
    forceRotorLibSimulation = 0; Enforces the Advanced Flight Model on the server. Default = 0 (up to the player). 1 - forced AFM, 2 - forced SFM.

    Uro got a reaction from TheStainlessSteelRat in XCam Map   
    You do realise this is a prototype/showcase map to show what can be done with the X-Cam mod (when it gets released), and was never intended to be used for mission scenarios, let alone an MP mission scenario.
     
     
     
    I'm quite excited about X-Cam and have been following thier updates for a while now and im sure anyone else who is interested in Terrain generation and/or object/prefab composition will be too.
     
     
    TLDR; This is a showcase of a MOD; This is not suitable for a SP mission nor MP environment.
