Beautiful!

goated

Thanks @GXTS ! :)
If I make more maps it will probably be in Enfusion for Arma 4.
Tools for A3 map making are really a pain to use.

Yo, this is actually really well done, good job mand and I hope you make some more maps in the future

Ok. Nothing is planned in this matter.

Or SOG Prairie fire

@Sparfell Like replacing some of the more modern looking buildings with buildings from Faces of war mod.
It's just a suggestion.

@MunkSWE92 : Thanks ! What do you exactly mean by that ?
I can already more or less be played as a WW2 map IMHO.

Great map.
Any possibilites that you could make a WW2 version of it ?

Cool, pas finie je dois l'améliorer encore. :)

J'ai trouvé la mission. merci ça me fait très plaisir.

@Dalia : Cool, merci pour ton message ! La mission est sur le workshop ? Si tu as des screenshots ou des vidéos n'hésite pas à me les partager. :)

Salut, merci pour la map, j'ai fait une tite mission dessus avec AMF.

Perfect for comitting war crimes 10/10

Maybe you can make a Taiwan map

Merci Lapin, c'est un plaisir pour moi si cette map t'es utile. Pour l'aérodrome, pas sûr que ce sera possible, il semblerait que ce soit parce que la piste est trop courte et la rallonger demanderait pas mal de travail. Cela dit, les IA sont à peu près capable d'atterrir dessus, c'est surtout le décollage qui pose problème.

salut, tout d'abord merci pour cette jolie carte, je voulais une carte petite, légère en ressource pour mes nouveaux scénar avec sog prairie fire et unsung , eh ben grâce à toi j'ai trouvé !! ^^ j'espère que l’aérodrome sera utilisable par l'IA dans un avenir proche ... ^^' , @+++

Oh yea, I remember reading about that. I remember I was upset because the repository holding the data pack wasn't working at the time, and I just gave up. I took a weak stab at level editing years ago, and immediately ran into trouble getting started. I remember L3DT or something, but that's about as far as I got. I have mad respect for anyone who follows one of these things through to the end, it can takes years to finish a big project, assuming you can figure out how.

The tools are not unintuitive but the one provided by BI is old and painfull to use and if you decide to use several other tools like I did it brings other issues like not being able to edit heightfield while I place down objects.
I also like Proving Grounds alot, I think someone in CUP want to work on an extension but, as always, things take time. Files are available in A2 licensed data pack but i requires some efforts to be able to edit them I think. The current CUP version is a 1-1 port from A2.

I agree with Vectif, I love small little maps like this that are slices of other worlds. Of course bigger is always better, but I enjoy the variety. The map making tools are "hella" unintuitive I've been told, so very few people get into level making. I've been waiting for years for an expanded version of Proving Grounds, CUP restored it very well, but they won't share the files with anyone, so no one. You'd have to find a way of ripping them from the original game. I don't even know where that map came from. The files for it all have "PMC" in their names. It's a small map, but I love the cold war atmosphere it has, with the dark cloudy lighting, and the dead foliage. The lumpy fields make for awesome armored combat, but the map is way too small for anything larger than 2 squads to fight in.

No other map like it I've found.

Same goes for this one. I think there is only one location on Tanoa like this, and it's smaller than this whole map.

@Vectif : Thanks !
I used the sat generated by L3DT and modified it a lot in GIMP by hand with brushes etc. Only the forests still use the texture noise generated by L3DT, the rest is hand work.

there's definitely not enough atoll maps for Arma 3, I thought of making one eventually but I haven't gotten around to it with my other terrain ideas. Good job dude! This is cool.

May I ask how did you go about the satellite imagery? Did you make your own seamless textures for the sat, did you salvage some from actual satellites to fuzz and make your own? Did you make a custom climate in L3DT or how did you go about it? Thanks and have a good one!

I could have swore there were concrete ones somewhere... Some assets are not available in the editor, but I don't remember. They were jax shaped, but that might have been some sort of mod... I doubt it, knowing there are very few mods with map assets like that.

Thats why I didn't use them, it looked off in my opinion. Maybe I'll add few more black lava rocks around the strip in the future.

Well, its not un-salvageable. I can see that location working as an airstrip, not knowing what the island looked like before it was plowed. I put some waterbreaks in myself, but sadly, the vanilla ones are a very bad color.

You are probably right. Realism was not the main goal of this terrain, airstrip is in this direction in order to form a nice G letter. In reality it would probably built following the general direction of the island.

I think the airport needs some hurricane walls around it, so it doesn't wash away into the sea. Even a temp strip needs some sort of protection. I've seen a beach that size wash out in less than a week.

@sniper799 : Thanks, yes, you can shoot from one island onto another. :D

Really great map. Plenty of scope (no pun intended) for sniper style missions

@kisstom503 Yes ! cool :)

it made it

@Corporal Ray Person : Thanks ! I have other projects in mind but not located in the pacific.

Really good shit dude, it's always good to see more Pacific maps on the workshop. Any chance there will be more?

@1st Lt. C. Henderson : Awesome, thanks. :)

I see us using this for one of our Marine Raider WWII operations. I'll be sharing a stream of it when we do it.

this needs to be on the front page

Nice work.

Looks great

Oui j'avais déjà jeté un oeil mais bon. Faut vraiment avoir le temps de se pencher dessus. Personnellement je suis très pro "historicité", je me vois pas faire moins qu'une 10x10 ultra chiadée. Je sais que ça peut vite chiffrer en "mois" de travail et comme je peux pas abandonner la création de mission et de contenu pour ma commu, je jette l'éponge ^^. Mais en tout cas, bravo à toi !

Merci. Ca me trottait aussi dans la tête depuis un bout de temps. J'ai décidé de me lancer lors d'une semaine de vacance. Ca représente beaucoup de boulot mais c'est un passe-temps très agréable.
Si un jour tu fais le pas, les tutos faits par la commu sont vraiment très bien.

Et bien bravo à toi ! ça fait des années que je fais des missions/script pour ma communauté, j'ai dépassé la centaine large et j'ai toujours eu envie de faire une map, sans jamais prendre le temps de le faire. Je surveille tes reskins et screens depuis un moment. T'as eu le courage de t'y attaquer, même si c'est une map "spéciale". Un grand bravo en tout cas toi ;) !

@Eralorn Oui ! :)

C'est toi qui a fait la map ?
