I love the double roads (2 roads next to eachother), if this could be on more places, it would give some illusion of being able to go around the map faster.

yes, but the Highway is at the original place so it will be only this one at  the map. I won't overload the map :)

I cant wait to play this map^^

 

Will be opening a server right away for this : ))

[Richie]

I can't wait to host this map :D Quarry looks exellent Falconsan.

[Grinchen]

I'd really love to host my new server with this map, it looks great. :D

 

However my dedicated server scripting skills are below useless so I won't be hosting it any time soon. :(

[Windfighter]

I like the map :D

I was looking into the map size for the map centrum, and concluded that the map size is 25,5 x 25,5 km2, which is 650.25 k2. Making the center be at 12750,12750,0?

 

I'm just strying to get this straight for my center marker :P

		class Item0
		{
			position[]={12750,0,12750};
			name="center";
			type="Empty";
		};

Does this look correct to you? 

[falconsan]

Maybe, but the SCript is overworked, so that this is changed.

 

If you want to to this on your server, feel free to do :)

Will your map expand, or are the limits as they are now permanent? And this is from my own mission file (since we have custom traders and stuff), I didn't see any other working yet (didnt bother looking to be honest).

[falconsan]

The Size of the map is fix!!

 

So you will have no problem

[chrisb]

Just wanted to say its a great terrain you've made. Don't play dayz just A2, but had to congratulate you on the terrain. Thanks.

[falconsan]

Thanx,

 

with the next update on friday will come a totaly reworked lake "Hennesee" and if it works and the time let it be an waterfall. Teh lake will have a road around them, smoothed shores and hills. and of course, any bugfixes :))

[Bambit]

Make a cave behind the waterfall! :)

[falconsan]

Make a cave behind the waterfall! :)

 

Its not possible, because you cant go under the earth with the Arma 3D engine. :(

[Bambit]

I know, but I thought you could do something like with this road that goes under rocks somewhere on your map, and so the water could drop from these rocks to the lake, but I'm not sure if the engine allows water over the sea level

[falconsan]

Yes, with a little trick. I will finish the road along the lake. Then i will try to make the waterfall with a cave behind :)

[Bambit]

Yay :D You are my hero :* :D

How to configure Sarge Ai on this map?

Anybody help :)

[falconsan]

Hello and thx for your positive/negative feedback. Here some infos:

 

The map is still WIP, so that some regions not filled with nature or other stuff. The lake will be at this moment totaly reworked. The shores of the lake where more flatten, a road called B55 will go along the lake. Some touristsplaces will insert near the lake, a waterfalll will be implemented, so if  i can finish the model just in time.

A new town will be created near the lake and some things at the Quarry will reworked.

 

I have a many ideas for my map. Some examples:

- an abandoned theme park is planned

- a little abandoned zoo will be made

- a brewery will be implemented

- Some ski-lifts will be build in, so the Sauerland region is in reallife a wintersports region

- The Highway A46 will be pimped up.

- more "Scenarios" will come and some more stuff.

 

Remember: I am a one man team. I made the Map, the models, the textures all by my own, so that it can take some time to finish the map. I must work, have family  and so on.  So i do my best... 

 

 

You may be curious!

I think its best to take your time with it. At the moment it looks and feels really great, I know its for dayz, but I have been looking at it from a arma2 viewpoint and it can easily be used for that too. Anyway, family always comes first and must always be the case, I'm sure all the players that use your map will understand that it takes lots of time.

The plans you have for your map sound great, hope you manage to implement them over time.

 

I've been having a really good look around the map, and I think its going to be up in my top 10 best maps (I have around 250-300 now), its a really well put together project, first class. It also performs very well for quite a heavy subject i.e. lots of foilage, tree's, cities etc, but still gives very good fps, even in the large cities.

Great work.

:)

Here you can see a little video about some shorechanges and the new Road B55 at lake hennesee during the building proces.
