-----------

- some trees of forests dont fit to the ground

[...]

first bug - probably Berghoff didnt aply "On Surface" setting to vertexes that should stay on the ground.

try to conact him, and ask, or just check by yourself.

Released addons, even beta versions, go in A&M:C

why i can't post it on a Newsite?

Even it's a beta version.

Raptor

And from the pics it looks excellent and realistic,Armed Assault kinda realistic too,cant wait to try out my bird in that map.

Quote[/b] ]why i can't post it on a Newsite?

well for several reasons:

1. ppl like to complain (even though its a beta)

2. berghoffs work is also beta 0.1

3. final versions will include more goodies

(4. my traffic is limited)

as far as i can tell, its fully playable. thats why we released it. though its not yet done and its better if just "some" ppl test it ...

hope this works out as planned

ok...

very nice island, especially with berghoffs addon

and playable, too.

Raptor

Those Screens... Hell it looks damn good. Will give it a try immidiately. Impressing Work.

Whats that for a ground texture size looks very good?

Will there be a non replacement version?

wow its awsome, looking realy good

Providing mirror to take strain off your bandwidth :P

Wildo

Oh - my - god. What do you need AA for if you have this

Good job!

Edit: Is this also planed for other (official) Islands?

this "upgrade" would be very nice on ALL BIS islands

and yes, that includes Nogova

How do u get everything to look so.....shniy? :P

is that DXDLL or what?

How do u get everything to look so.....shniy? :P

is that DXDLL or what?

And most likely some Photoshop/PSP too

Still, it looks very nice

lol, i think malden is beyond help

Well if you replace everything with pine trees and such it could be a nice Malden Island with FatWombat textures.

Haven't seen any real problem with this Island yet only the airport texture don't connect very well on the north side. Looks nice =)

IT what is the latest with WGL 5.0. I know Phaeden is out but has anything been done on it since.

okay, it looks great. two gripes:

on the southern end of the runway, there are rows of little fences on top of the runway, dunno why, but obviously they aren't supposed to be there?  

the concerete textures around some of the towns should go.  everon probably isn't exactly the most wealthy 'country' ever, if they can't afford to pave all of their roads, i seriously doubt they are gonna waste money pouring concerete on ever square inch of their towns greattt island.

and the best part of all, it doesn't lag any more than the original everon, even with the new trees & textures. GREAT addon. i expect malden & the works ASAP )

thanks everyone for your feedback !

@olemissrebel:

we will look into this - is imperative to have this one backwards compatible (for missions and campaigns).

hopefully we can do sth about the rows of little fences.

concerete textures - we see what we can do about it  

re-read first post for more general answers

best regards

Q

does the island need wgl mod? or is it just the heat from outside getting on me?

No just download the .rar. You won't need extra files.

Try the replaceObjects{}; code for fixing the forests. It's in the manual.

Amazing !!

Thanks a lot for this high quality island that I'll definately use for the incoming woodland FFUR theme.

Keep up the nice work, I hope you'll do the same thing for the other BIS islands

Best Regards

okay, i tried to fix the forest bug, it wouldnt work. i even tried replacing the pine forests with default resistance, they are still in mid air. i tried replacing them with the CWC forests, they are still in mid air, no matter how you align them to ground; i even made sure they were all unlocked & did it again, i have no idea what causes this.
