I think there were pics on the non-dev version, but they were equivalent and I had stopped working on it so there was no point in the up-keep between two different versions. Once arma 4 is out and the reforger style dev tools are finished, I'll probably work on it again and finish it. The arma 3 engine and dev tools are extremely buggy and limited and it took all the fun out of creating the map
Giraffe  [author] 25 Jun, 2024 @ 6:26pm 
nope. totally abandoned with reforger announcement. not worth your time anyways. map state is like super pre-alpha

Paused at the moment. Plan on picking back up again in the future with the help of Diveyez, but it’s possible it won’t be fully complete until maybe even Arma 4 comes out. I will most definitely be making it available for whatever new Arma game comes out, but it’s possible it will not be complete for a long time. I do plan to complete it eventually. I don’t want to abandon this project.

How is the dev coming along?
Giraffe  [author] 20 Jan, 2020 @ 3:23pm 
I am in your discord already. I will upload the folder in my P:/ drive to my google drive and send you the link.
diveyez 19 Jan, 2020 @ 10:56pm 
Come back to Discord, send me the source.

Giraffe, if you issue me access to the source files, and assets. I will help you with this terrain.

Hey,nice job,will tou continue work on this terrain?
Giraffe  [author] 15 Oct, 2019 @ 4:27pm 
Hello everyone, I have started a forum post you can use if you'd like to aid in development. Thank you!
Giraffe  [author] 15 Oct, 2019 @ 4:24pm 
@royal116, You could use pastebin and send me the link in a message. Feel free to send me a friend request. With Eden Extended Objects, I am not sure if that adds more content or unlocks content that is already in the game, but I am sure I can work it in somehow.

@Diveyez, I'll take any help I can get. It needs a lot of work and I can't get it done in a reasonable amount of time by myself. You are more than welcome to do what royal116 is doing and place objects around the map.
diveyez 15 Oct, 2019 @ 11:16am 
Want some help with the development of this map?
I am maintaining
Clafghan, think we could do some good here.
royal116 30 Sep, 2019 @ 2:09pm 
Alright I got a little area made out and everything was hand placed so just let me know how you want me to send you the .txt file so you can look at it. I will say I used Eden Extended Objects to get more of the vanilla objects so I'm not sure if that'll be a dependency or not but it's 7mb either way. Also realized it has this really useful multiplyer tool that would make setting the rocks super quick.
Giraffe  [author] 29 Sep, 2019 @ 12:50pm 
Yes, I can change anything to whatever it needs to be. As long as it is Arma or Cup assets, you can use whatever you want.
royal116 29 Sep, 2019 @ 11:18am 
Are you gonna be able to change assets to match the packs you intend to use? At the moment I'm trying just to use cup and vanilla (including some rocks from Livonia, hopefully that's alright) for the small terrain area I created to play around in.
Giraffe  [author] 29 Sep, 2019 @ 11:12am 
Excellent! Help would be greatly appreciated. Right now I am working on areas mostly in the west and central far south area, so if you want to build anything, anywhere west or NW would be awesome, and I would be able to throw your stuff in there without interfering with anything. Also, don't be too worried about road placements in cities. Roads can and will be changed to better fit city layouts
royal116 29 Sep, 2019 @ 11:03am 
That's awesome, I'll probably whip up something up today or in the coming days and you can check it out see if it's the style you want for the map.
Giraffe  [author] 28 Sep, 2019 @ 8:15pm 
Actually, yes. If you go to the eden editor, you can make a village or place objects. You can then export objects to a .txt file, and I can use that to import objects to their location automatically
royal116 28 Sep, 2019 @ 7:30pm 
If I were to work on say a village or a part of the terrain in the editor is there a way you could if you liked it, incorporate it into your map?
Giraffe  [author] 27 Sep, 2019 @ 2:05pm 
I haven't worked on it for a while and haven't made much progress, but I am working on it. I just get really burnt out because I have so many objects I have to place. I will not give up on it though. At the very least I am going to work on it for the new Arma, whenever that comes out.

It won't be abandoned. It will just take me a while because I am working on it alone and it's my first terrain, plus Arma terrain tools are really janky and I don't know all the tricks yet. I do have a tick list though, so I at least know what needs done and will eventually complete it.

Sorry guys.

How are things coming on this Giraffe?
royal116 9 Jul, 2019 @ 12:36pm 
Try JBAD buildings they're fantastic.
Maze 28 Jun, 2019 @ 9:46am 
next update ETA?
[ACPL] Jon 15 Jun, 2019 @ 9:42pm 
Use RSO Building Pack.
*******ive father 13 Jun, 2019 @ 11:23am 
Ahh thank you so much !
Giraffe  [author] 2 Jun, 2019 @ 10:18am 
@palad. I'll write that down. most of the cwa stuff is pretty low-res, so I've been avoiding trying to use it. I'll check on that
Paladinknightsword 1 Jun, 2019 @ 10:16pm 
possible to remove CWA dependency and only terrains/maps?
Maze 1 Jun, 2019 @ 4:19am 
great, these are good news. thanks for your work and effort.
Giraffe  [author] 29 May, 2019 @ 2:39pm 
yes. steam version is not up to date. I will update when I make more progress
Maze 29 May, 2019 @ 12:27pm 
still in progress?
*******ive father 21 Apr, 2019 @ 3:19am 
Why are the textures of the lower areas grass? Great map btw.
Giraffe  [author] 20 Apr, 2019 @ 7:26pm 
@RHDent Will do. Have been really busy with real life stuff lately and haven't updated in a while, and the map is super empty right now, but I will add that next update.
Shiver Me Timbers 18 Apr, 2019 @ 12:53pm 
@RHDent Its a good map for mountain warfare and outpost type stuff but yeah no buildings, road setups and that's it
BlackGSD 15 Apr, 2019 @ 11:29am 
oooooh. Cant wait. Hope this turns out well.
gorka 14 Apr, 2019 @ 7:01am 
I'd recommend posting pictures of the terrain so people can see it before subbing.
Griz 11 Apr, 2019 @ 11:11am 
very interesting, looking forward to how this turns out over time. I might suggest actually skipping a lot of the big cliff rocks and stuff on the mountain sides, they almost look better without. certain places its good, like that one mountaintop with the encampment, but others not so much. the satellite textures in the valleys can look a little flat but thats not too bad. very promising terrain for sure. love the snowy mountain tops and the rough terrain. love how the ground geometry is scaled almost perfectly, the mountains aren't too small, but aren't too big where you can't see them across a valley. love all the pathways and switchbacks. really good stuff. obviously not really in a playable state yet since theres a lot of placement to go, but I definitely be watching this.
O B S E R V E R 11 Apr, 2019 @ 12:33am 
Nice so far. Keep up the hard work. I cant wait till its done.
