[Linker Split]

The-Pain, I heard about a map.. can you already do a new one?
with what tool? I think Visitor... I have already tried to import my HDT Island into ArmA (it's a project I'm working on since the release on OFP) but I still can't figure out the trick...
can you explain me? PM me please
Thanks

GOOD MOD, it will be the first to be downloaded for me
Linker Split

[The-Pain]

Well Sled tried to import maps from ofp but it didn't work... So we will modify the demo-island... The island isn't that big as Sahrani full... so we can add more details to the virus-island. He changed a lot of textures now and the grass, and I am working on the groundtextures but I've got a problem... The textures near the player changed, but in the distance it's the old one... There must be a lil trick! Maybe you could help us linker split... I know that you created the very great jungle island for ofp some time ago... beautiful stuff mate! We can talk about our experiences in making island for arma... just add me or Sled later in Icq! I think Sled knows Arma better than me now! He's a f****** workaholic

[Linker Split]

I would help you the-Pain... but I'm currently involved in BHD MOD...
anyway, if I discovered something, I'll make you know

[The-Pain]

We managed to change all textures! Take a look! Ah and you can see the new 3rd person view^^

[Linker Split]

wow that's good! I will wait for the tools... anyway... hoc can you know the extension of a single grass model?
I mean: if for example the model is 25x25m, how can you know that and replace it with a model you have made?

[Lt. Earth Apple]

I prefered the original Textures of South Sahrani :S

[The-Pain]

I am not sure what you mean Linker...

[Linker Split]

I'll try to explain...

well, a model, is for example 25x25m... I mean the extension of the model in a 3D program like O2... now, for example, the Sahrani grass is 5x5m (I don't really know)... then if you create a grass model that must replace the old one, and you make a 20x20m model, will it cover more than a 5x5m one? do you understand what I mean now?

[The-Pain]

Yes but the size and all other stuff in fact of the grass is written in the config of the specific island! I only changed textures no models!

[R0adki11]

ahh just changing textures, but thats a good step in the right direction

[The-Pain]

Yeah thx all... working on some additional scripts now for the gameplay... just created a sleeping-script with a little arma-animation when go sleeping... looks good so far... i think the releasedate will be the 15th march as sled said! just working a bit on the campaign, this is nearly done.... but the multiplayer part is a problem... our new script doesn't work like we wanna have it... the mainproblem is the CTT (Conquer The Towns) mp-game. but if we wont made it to include all mp features we will deliver them with a patch after the release... all other stuff should be ready to the 15.03.07!!!

[Linker Split]

for the map, I understood man

[The-Pain]

You may noticed the releasedate may change... A concrete decision will be on wendsday, next week. If we make a deal with PC-Action and PC-Games, the releasedate would be the 21.03.2007 in germany. And the 08.04.2007 for the world.

ABOUT THE V.I.R.U.S. EXPANSION!!!! NOT THE MAINGAME!!!!

First of all I want to share these 3 little pics with you! This time I let the community decide what weapons and vehicles will be included. Okay one thing is clear... This time the mod plays in the year 2037.
