nvm i just read the pbo prefix stuff, but i couldn't get it to work, gonna try some other time

i asked that because i was trying to change the ground textures for another map, but it seems the close ground texture is baked into a file i forgot the name, if you can point me in the direction to change the close-up texture even if via brute force, you'll have my thanks

although its been so long and i dont have any plans on touching arma modding so maybe something broke? not sure i dont play anymore xD

this mod is a brute force override for textures so it should work whenever you load the mod (using pbo prefix to override the file path to all the landscape textures ect)

Hey Mike. Perhaps I am asking a dumb question (new to the game) , but how to turn 'on' the snow in Altis ?

how did you manage to change the terrain texture?

Hey there! I love this mod but I seem to have found a very odd bug.

I'm using Deformer to make Oreokastro look way more sci-fi and stuff yada yada, but I've noticed that when I load Winter 2035 it just disables the Deformer mod

@stapp - I noticed this as well. However Deformer doesn't seem to be working even after removing this map. Any suggestions?

Really immersive map - well done! The snow covered roof tops and some object surfaces coupled to automated light snow falls when the weather is overcast makes this one of the more believable winter maps imo.

can you make the mod include malden that is provided by bohemia?

This mod disables Deformer for some reason - if anyone else is going crazy trying to bug-fix a UA scenario.

Could you make winter Livonia for a3?

Really good mod, works great and looks great. Can lead to some fun scenarios.

Globeheads don't understand Altis sits on a flat plane. There's no Coriolis effect in shooting here.
And Zeus exists, so the four wind gods must have been blowing hot air in the sea like a hot spring to keep the water from freezing.

You should make everything water frozen and heavy snowstroms because of global warming !

Hi, is it possible to retex more trees on my own? And how does it work that the Textures inside of the PBO's replace the standard Textures?

I want to retex the Tanoa trees but i dont know how your retex mod works.

mans is changing the textures for the biggest map in vanilla arma, give em a break

why is this 1 gigabyte lol

I was just speechless as I see "my" lovely Altis in snowwhite with this lightweight Mod. Thanks for your work and sharing to us. But small question to you: May it be possible to convert your Mod to SOG CDLC Map Cam Lao Nam? I am starting this days for preparing a Christmas Event for our Mike Force Community and your work is quite awesome and would match perfect. Thanks for your reply and best for you.

Love it ofc, Malden next please, hopefully it's not too much work.

youd need to add new landscape layers which are *somewhat* baked deeper into the map / .wrp file so you couldnt really do that without the map source, when arma 4 comes out and altis is released as sample files like the arma 2 files maybe?

@crazy Mike - this is really clever work - thank you! I saw some of your early transitions on BI forum - it would great if you could have snow in only parts of a map with gradual transition if that's possible.Also is there a way to kill the rain sf on Dedi?

Works 100% on Dedicated server - we're using it for Liberation - winter.

News abaout this map on a dedicated server? Does it work?
Thanks

Great mod, but does not seems to be working on dedicated server, unable to load mission with this mod installed:

>12:27:36 No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgPatches.a3_plants_f_bush' .

Maybe realted to Exocet and r0dx's comment's
Thanks anyway.

yea i highly doubt i could have fixed it myself, this mod is extremely simple in that all it does is load my texture pbos instead of the vanilla ones, no idea what could have been deleting foliage across the map xD

Update: Issue have been reported to A3 devs on the discord, and it was related to a certain feature present only in the performance branch, they say it will be fixed in 2 weeks :)

Hi mike, i want to add to r0dx's comment, that it also doesnt work on performance branch and reports the same error: addon 'a3_data_f_loadorder' requires addon a3_plants_F_bush. In-game all bushes and trees disappear, if possible please do a fix, this map is so awesome but couldnt play it because of the error :(

we are making own map by terrain builder and there is very useful to have winter object of Livonia, Malden etc

your mod doesn't work in dev version. same as the autumn livonia mod (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2623774554) . something is going wrong in dev version that prevents the load order from working with your two mods.

k

i meannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn maybe ill look into doing it one night soon but im quite busy so not much free time

@Crazy Mike thomahawk's snowblind campaign would go super well with it

why does everybody want winter malde-

yo, do winter mal-

gave us malware 0/10

rip vegetation, they all gone.

Winter lol eheheheheehehheheheheheheh

Guys you get your trees & vegetation back by going into video settings , AA & PP and turning ATOC off.

i can look into it in the near future, currently dont have the arma tools installed

Hi mike! WOuld like to report that when running the mod with newest A3 Performance branch update, version 2.04.147581, all plants and vegetation disappear from the map. My guess is it's probably because of a new tweak implemented in the new perf branch update:
"- Tweaked: Performance improvement for PBO file lookups"

If possible can you make a fix? as changes in perf branch usually makes it to the next stable version release.
Thanks and awesome mod! Love playing in it

Bonjour je voulais savoir si il y aurais prévus la mémé version mes sur malden ?

I found that if you want to uninstall it. Uncheck it from the loaded mods first. Go into editor and make sure Altis and Stratis maps are showing green. Then go back out and uninstall the mod.

I checked if I had the problem with textures, and no I do not. Mod works fine.

that doesnt make any sense if the mod isnt loaded its content shouldnt be in game

can somebody tell me, how can i remove the mod and restore the vanilla textures ?

I would caution using this mod. If you install it from Steam workshop and later uninstall it, the winter map graphics will remain and you will need to dig through threads how to get the old one back :(

@Crazy Mike ---Ironically, there was suddenly white, green and desert grass to be seen ...

@Crazy Mike --- I've played on Altis, but for me it was the WY_Snow_Winter_Effects_and_Retexture_Pack that created this extra grass on the map.

Hm, and that might be what's affecting the winter malden...
