Anyone know of any servers that will possibly be hosting a Arma 3 Epoch Namalsk after server files are released

 I think whoever does it will have to edit the map pretty hard for it, was my favorite Epoch map for Arma 2.

Don't think any arma 2 maps will be getting ported over for some time.

[nedfox]

It's going to take some time indeed.. I've seen ported maps but they're crap.. Coders will have to write from scratch to use all the neat Arma3 content.

Yeah I've tried New Haven on Breaking Point and it's buggy, laggy and horrible, the FPS randomly drops on and off and the buildings kill you constantly, stairs are the worst.

I'm looking forward to this  be a while but hopefully worth the wait.

It's like you read my mind!

 

 

I started working on a port to Namalsk yesterday

Map loads fine, no big errors, it runs nice and smooth

 

To do

 

Loot table
Antagonists and possibly blood suckers

Traders and cities
Snow/Cold weather/Warm Clothes
Package Namalsk map into a simple download

 

Will be getting help from the devs as the setup could be applied to any of the Arma 2 maps

This is gonna be the shit man!

 

Do not let this project die! If you need help testing and that just send us a PM.

 

Nice one.

There is a whole pack of already ported maps.. lingor, panthera, chernarus, dingor ... most of the popular maps are in there already

Yeah just loaded up namalsk from one of the packs. Pretty buggy has missing textures here and there, advance flying doesn't work choppers go mental and spin like crazy.

Sound effects + objects at object a2 missing (fixed that already easily)

 

And a whole lot more more then likely. 

 

 

Edit>>>

 

Textures are working fine the pack I was using was missing a load of assets.

 

Advance flying is still messed up :/

These two addons should make it already possible to load Namalsk into A3:

 

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?182072-All-in-Arma-Terrain-Pack-%28AiA-TP%29-A1-A2-OA-terrains-from-BI-in-A3

This the terrain pack with Arma 2 default maps.

 

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?182032-ASCZ-A2-Community-Map-Fixes-%28for-AIA-TP-SA%29

This a pack that has fixes for some of the Arma 2 comminity made maps, including Namalsk. I haven't tested it.

 

Third addon you need is the Namalsk map itself, it probably needs to be loaded before the map fixes.

 

MGT, how big is the file size of your addon? If it is a single download, some A2 assets must be included in it? Great job anyway. :)

Those are what I used, i'm trying to extract what's needed as atm its ~6gb for the whole pack

So Panthera just came out for arma 3 and requires AiA pack even tho was just updated/made for arma 3 specifically. Looking like it would be easier just to get people to download AiA alongside Namalsk light instead of trying to make a single pack? I'm guessing people will be wanting to port the other maps in the pack anyways?

 

It would be as simple as adding one extra mod to the start up perimeters "-mod=@epoch;@AiA" for all the extra A2 maps +A3 Panthera because you can just dump Namalsk light and Panthera in the AiA addons folder anyways.

 

(Forgot the default AiA folder name as I renamed mine.)

 

Edit>>

Just remembered you would need verify signatures off to mash it all together in the one folder.

I think I just fell in love...awesome MGT!

Only problem is devas are not allowing changing of the server files and from the sound of it mission files either. I am super bummed about this cuts people like you can make an do some awesome things with this.

Personally I'm pretty happy with a more restricted license. Everyone being a mod-chef usually results in 99 terrible adaptations out of a hundred. Makes it a lot harder for people to find a decent server that doesn't have a bunch of shit thrown on it because the owners "got creative". For the 1 in a hundred that knows their stuff, yeah it's pretty sad, but a lot of that can probably suggested for the developers to have it in the vanilla mod.

 

A lot of stuff is going to happen that are in the plans, like the Epoch we're playing right now isn't representative of the final product, just look at the loot tables for example, they're definitely going to be re-vamped already with the next patch when they add more of their own weapons, the added variety itself will mean more weapon diversity and less "Oh clone #50 with a Lynx".
