1.3 RELEASED!

Well, I have a hard time leaving projects unfinished, and I got a bit of a plan for retextured plants, so here's a new version, this time with an addon-pack for new plants and some minor changes http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

From the readme:

V.1.3 Changelog:

Replaced the intro-scene with an empty undistractive one.
Removed/lowered birds and insects.
Changed the texture of the grass
Changed the textures of the plants (not fully standalone, read the separate readme for the plants)

From the plants readme:

"To install the custom plants, you'll need to put the plants.pbo & the "plants.pbo.bi.bisign" in a MOD-folder of your choice (NOTE: It is extremely important that you do NOT replace the original plants.pbo with this one, since that will cause missing textures etc., also not that this might not be compatible with other mods that changes the plants.pbo). If you don't know how to create mod folders, check further down.

Having this .pbo in the mod folder will cause missing textures in all islands execpt for the Dry South Saharni map, the reason I did this is because the original file is over 400mb large, so I removed pretty much all textures my map doesn't use. I don't know of any other way to do this, so this is as good as it gets for now."

Known issues:
Except for the error messages and missing textures in other islands, nothing really, there are probably bugs, but I don't have time to test it.

Hi Guys.

'This file is not going to show ingame if ou have the original saralite demo file already in your Addons folder. So I suggest you unpack the pbo and change in config.cpp (unrapped from config.bin) all Saralite references to SaraliteDes and then rename saralite.wrp the same: SaraliteDes.wrp
repack your pbo and up you go saralite as 'Southern sahrani' appears along side 'Southern sarhani Des' (or whatever name you 've put up in the title of your cpp file) http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif
by the way before repacking your SaraliteDes.pbo do not forget to delete config.bin and leave your unrapped config.cpp in it ! '

Sorry McNools i've put the above text where i dwnloaded the file because i couldn't get your email.

Did you replace all occurences of SaraLite ? the folder name too ?

http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/icon_rolleyes.gif

[/QUOTE]

Sorry i ommit on http://armed-assault.net/news/sara-lite---dry.html to mention that you need also to rename the folder SaraLiteDes before repacking as pbo?

So you have:
a folder [SaraLiteDes]
inside file config.cpp as above with all reference to SaraLite
replaced with SaraLiteDes
plus :...
description = "Southern Sahrani Des";
....
for the name to show in the editor the original was Southern Sahrani but you could put 'McNools Des Southern Sahrani'
instead http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

then you repack you folder SaraliteDes.pbo http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/yay.gif

McNools

Mar 30 2007, 09:05

could you explain a bit more the process you used ?
Well, I simply unPbo'd the file, found the detail textures for the terrain (those who show up close around the player), then I simply recolored and changed it a bit.

Then there was a long process of applying the texture to all the different parts of the "map"-textures, since those are the ones that show up farther away and on the map when you use "show textures". If I wouldn't have done this, everything would look green om the distance, but then when you get closer it would be brown, wich doesn't really look good.

So basicly I just took several tiles of the dry-grass texture and shrunk them together so it looked like they were seen from very high above, and I filled the map-textures with this and did some blending changes so that it only covered the green stuff.

I'm not good at explaining, but yeah, that's pretty much what I did.

Hi.
I just installed v1.1 and have no ground textures. Buildings, trees and such are normal but the ground is just plain white.
Textures, shading and filtering all set to normal. I dont have the original Saralite or dry saralite v1.0 installed, dunno if that makes a difference.

McNools

Mar 31 2007, 14:20

I'm going to try it out aswell and see if I have the same problem.

(I'll wait until I try it before I put the link in the first post, since it might need fixing)

Edit: Ah, as I suspected :/ it's white without the original in the addons folder, wich pretty much means it's still looking for the textures there, this could probably be changed with a hex-editor, I'll try it and see what I can manage. (good work on reducing the grass etc. though, looks nicer)

Edit again: Nope, dang, didn't get it working :/ the texture paths need to be changed somehow, but like I've stated before, I don't have much time to do this, I hope you can find a way OcramWeb :/. Anyway, anyone who's got the old version can download the new one and keep the old one in the addons folder if they want to play the new version with reduced grass. (if you have the original SaraLite.pbo from the demo in the addons folder, the textures will be the original green ones)

(also, OcramWeb, remember to put the readme in the .rar and not in the .pbo http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif ) Good job though!

You see what i meant....
it is a binary trouble, i try to leave rvmat files un binarised
to see if it works.

-for the trees it works fine but it is a min per square , i swaped it to 0 tree min per square instead of 3, the maximum beeing computed by the pc itself, so you do have less trees in total on the map and not necessarly on the same spot.
wich is better for frame rate because of less computed objects, ...even if the eyes cannot really spot it.

If i put the original island from the demo in the addons folder, and the new sara lite dry 1.1 from ocramweb, the dry island has the same green textures from the original island, it is not dry at all.

It appears that ocramweb made a little error in the readme, you don't need that file, since it doesn't exist, so don't worry.

Edit: What it was supposed to say was that you should remove it along with the SaraLiteDry.pbo and then put the McNSaraLiteDryite.pbo in your addons folder.

Exactly, cut and past mistakes

remove SaraLiteDry.pbo and the "SaraLiteDry.bi.bisign" Place the files "McNSaraLiteDryite.pbo" in your

You do not need the sig file anymore on v1.1
I correct the misleading info in the readme.
Thanks for the feedback Anoik

Like I said, a guy from ArmaHolic put it in a .rar http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif so it's downloadable in .rar format too on the frontpage. It's probably just my comp that's messing with me, but it's good to have a .rar version too.

Unfortunatly.. no, I can't :/ atleast I don't know how. This is just a simple retexture (and some reconfig now) of the map that came with the demo, wich is just the southern part of sahrani :/ when the tools are out someone could probably do a north-sahrani map, and it might be possible by reconfiguration or something, but I don't know.

I can yes increase my viewdist a lot
because:
- there is less object to calculate ( took some trees out of the map, and that is not done in config)
- i downsized plants

- and I decreased or cut Wind effect on plants.
(you'll be able to do this in 1.06 in option cut grass i think)

- but now the north part if BIS is ok with it (South from demo was free), take some trees or plants out, is feasable it'll be hard work do, i had to decompile/edit/compile more than 460 files for south
north should make my fingers fall http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

and with Visitor3 it will take much less to do for the same.
so yes I can do North (witch has south anyway), might do it if tools doesn't turn up.

My mistake ! I shouldn't show my work on this topic,McNools I made your Dry Sahrani island work as a stand alone,made the anim, took out some trees from the map and reworked the configs,effect grass,wind...etc (20 hours of work) on Dry Southern Sahranie.and I gave you v1.1 on your island.
wich i shared with you with pleasure.

But I never said that I was also going to give you this one http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif
What I do is a brand new Island, I have now more than 80 hours of works on it and it is not finished yet,no worries McNools I am not taking your textures at all, I do all the layer changes myself ... and as I am not stopping at taking trees out, I'll open a new subject soon, to push my island further and not misleading with yours. on my side 70 % of job done for now.

Regarding your request on taking out or diminishing the wildlife
on your Island,I ll do this for you soon, and post the link or mp it to you, so you can carry on with your texturing work for Dry southern sahrani and release your Island pretty soon I hope.

I think it is good to have different surrounding under arma waiting for the tools, so long life dry southern sahrani.

Well, I won't do much work for this no more, since I really don't have time for ArmA-modding, however, if there's a new version, the changes will be that the few dense forest-parts that are in the map will have been removed.

And BUNNY, this is just a retexture, map-editing isn't possible yes (as far as I know) so you'll just have to wait for the proper tools to be released, they will, eventually.

Yeah I know, it's because the main-menu is loading the Rahmadi-island, wich is using textures I've removed http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif so everyone should get that error.

Nice work, but to many errors in the *.rpt ... http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/whistle.gif

Please use for further releases this ODST.P3D instead of yours

The "ODST class" errors are history after this 2 minute work and the island gain some more frames too. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif

Do it and enjoy, i use a modified version (including the old City names) and it significant speed up the framerate.

I see ... also some citynames would be nice in the next versions like in the islands before. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/whistle.gif

that is called stilling work from other people !

and I start to be fed up to see my work under other people's name,My files are not to be distributed or used outside of my addon. as written in the readme file of Saharalite v2.

ODST file is Ocram from DST not McNool.
my work to improove frame rate is Saharalite work

Moderator please take those links out.

He does not steal anything ... he fixed something and give it back !
No release of a new island and no new credits or something else.

Your thing does a lot of rpt entrys and this is not good for the performance

Not on clients and also not on servers

Sometimes i realy wonder why people do not use the rpt-entrys to check their work.

Both of you did a fine job and he would only be help you i think

Well, I'm not going to use the file he posted anyway, since this is most likely the last version of this island.

Yes, i have changed some things only for private use and have hoped that the "Original stealed by the ArmA Demo brom BIS" can also can use this performance gain and also Bugfixing in the next version. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/tounge2.gif

http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wow_o.gif I haven't say this at any point, i only show a easy method to enhance this island to the author/coauthor/whatever

... but the answer for that was flameing, as i see http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/confused_o.gif

I agree with you, I think everyone should share their knowledge freely, that's what makes a good community.

all i have to say is that Bis America's Army demo as not been published under EA games name !

so there is no raison for that to happen here.

and the demo island was not steeled, BIS was asked and said it was ok

now if you want a file from someone else i think the first thing to do is to ask the owner first, and then if he agreed, the second thing is not to take is name out of the files....

Respect regarding other people work is my only point here.

That is the only thing I have to say, agreed or not, that is the way I think it should work http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/wink_o.gif
