Ryko Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=29752 We've all been saying how neat it would be if there was a winter map: well, as of the end of October, apparently there is. A listed requirement is the All in Arma Terrain Pack (AiA TP) - but that's a requirement for FSF Al Rayak, and we play that - so we should be good to go, right? -R Louis, Tim and Minipily 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minipily Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 +1 This does look pretty darn interesting! A winter map would definitely be a nice change of pace to the usual summer time kind of maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PERO Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Interesting, but I believe we don`t have any units that would fit this camo (regarding AI units). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Zwerger Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 About the camo: We could implement some camos (there are really good arctic camos) http://imgur.com/RgWbtQ7 http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryko Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'll bet it wouldn't be impossible to give custom loadouts to AI units which include an existing winter camo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 IIRC, before the switch to the CUP maps, which caused the dropping of AiA, the enemy was able to see me through foliage. I think I'd be finding the winter camo nice for three days after which I would probably be frustrated again by the lack of quality in the AiA. Then on a second thought: in winter there isn't any foliage in the trees.. or is there? Would we have to download the whole several gigabytes of AiA again and would it coexist with the CUP?

Ryko Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 My guess is that AiA = CUP terrain, which means this would work - at least, Al Rayak has AiA listed as a requirement, and I don't have that, and that works fine, so logically we should be able to run Cherno winter. And yes, there "should" be no foliage in winter... one of the reasons I'd really like this map! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheToxicPixels Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 It would be nice but valiant probably needs more focus at the moment because it's already amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessedUpSmiley Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Have played too much Cherno already. I'd rather play another snow map like Thursk if you guys really want one. PERO and duffyman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryko Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 Cool then - Thursk. It appears there are other options. How about Thursk? -R Louis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MessedUpSmiley Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Development can be a bit slow in December and I pretty sure Christiansen is working on some way cooler stuff. I'll try and see what strings I can pull and what I can do myself to realise this, but of course it's going to have to be discussed with our EU3 manager and others within the staff team whom it may concern first. Also; I'll need to know wether you guys would rather have Cherno winter or another winter map such as Thursk, seeing we've played so much Chernarus already.

At this point, anything covered in snow will do fine! Cherno Winter, Thursk, perhaps even A3 Namalsk (is that a thing?)

S0zi0p4th Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Main issues with all snow maps Lack off Snow camo for either side units and no we not adding another gear pack also the fps on them isnt that great and they are mostly bad arma2 port's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bad guys get close enough that I can see their camo, I'm probably screaming. My suggestion - we decide on a candidate, people can download it and try a basic mission, and see how it performs? -R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm shooting at little dots or stick figures 400-600mm away. 400 to 600 meters or milimeters . I know your a good enough of a player to know your pretty much ineffective at that range, and that we usually do about 300 meters silly . I think we should indeed try before we kill the idea!

Fraggloid Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 We have a few pieces of snow gear in our modpack already - in fact, I wandered around in some of it during a mission briefing the other day on Panthera. The AI could be given a single piece, like a plate carrier or backpack, and fit in, really. Full white snow camo is usually only used in arctic regions; for a snowy forest in a temperate region, you'd most likely have a white smock or parka over your usual gear.

BACONMOP Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Most of the snow maps for ARMA 3 are a bit sub-par and that there is no proper snow particle effect. I did find one okish blizzard script and I don't see it being used for more than 1 gamenight and I don't really see the point of a snow map without a snowstorm.
