Namalsk island, v1.10

Sumrak · 10-06-2009, 08:11 AM

Namalsk island
A part of Nightstalkers: Shadow of Namalsk modification..

What is Namalsk?
Namalsk is fictional island, located in Bering Strait. It is island with hard conditions for life, island is covered by needle-leaved trees, with high mountains covered by perma snow blanket. On Namalsk are located lot of different objects, for example there is high transmitter Seraja in mountains, underground in object AII, big town Vorkuta and two harbors Tara and Lubjansk.

What is Nightstalkers: Shadow of Namalsk?
Namalsk is only the part of this modification, full modification, with campaign on Namalsk island and more features (more info here or here) will be released probably in summer 2010. Namalsk is using models of buildings from this mod and probably these models will be in this period more tune-up (added for more objects paths for AI, etc.). I tried to minimize size of this release, so, don't await full versions of all pbo's, there are only things, which are needed for playing on Namalsk.

Detailed description of Namalsk:

Very detailed island

Covered almost by new objects (buildings and smaller misc objects from Nightstalkers: Shadow of Namalsk modification)

You can found on Namalsk big town Vorkuta, old hospital, small factories and villages, yard,2 harbors, mountains covered by snow, big agricultural object Jalovisko, UNDEGROUND object AII (since 1.10 patch new part!!), train tracks, deep forests and more and more.. SEE Screenshots below they tells more than words

Since ArmA II, new island is near Namalsk, called Tara

Since ArmA II, Completely NEW painted satellite mask with higher resolution.

Since ArmA II, Enhaced quality of ground textures

Since ArmA II, Enhaced performance on whole island

Tweaked ArmA II trees for better performance on Namalsk

You can see map here

Details about 1.10 update..

New big patch for Namalsk island. Finally, after months of working on my mod (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=87625) i get some time also for island.
Included couple of changes (particullary based on reports by community). For more details, please, see changelog below..
New patch also changing appearance of underground, which have now also next floor. Mission makers are able to use module, which can spawn approximately 100 misc objects into underground.
New section on official website of the mod was also added - MODULES. Check http://www.nightstalkers.cz for more information about modules and their functions.

What is AII Laboratory?
AII object is a experimental object in ArmA II. It seems to be normal ground factory, but, under this factory is a 4 floor undeground.
This object exist since ArmA 1, 0.45 version, but, in this patch (Namalsk ArmA II 1.10) is object upgraded and got his final apperance. Added new floor, which is also particullary flooded with water. (see screenshots)
There are still problems, that underground isnt too dark in daylight, but, i tried to do with this something, so, underground is now darker and if you have turned shadows on, you get even better results.

(Screenshots - at night with AII Module, underground lights turned on)

AII Laboratory module
Because was underground quite empty, i created module, which can spawn approximately 100 misc objects.
With these objects are spawned lights also. (this is not a abandoned laboratory (according to Namalsk Crisis story))
Default state - lights off, but..
you can control lights with variables:
* control variable ns_aii_l_status (0 = lights off, 1 = lights on)
* lights intensity variable ns_aii_l_intensity (i recommend very small values = 0.01 - 0.05, 0 = off (dark), 1 = fully on (not recommended))
You don't have to put init of these variables into some inicialization. You can control them during mission.
Maybe you will have problems with very strength glow, if you have postprocess details on maximum, try to set lower setting for postprocess.
Small example, how to try this module:
1 2 3

Color schemes modules
You can use them for changing color scheme in your mission. The only thing, which you need to get these modules working, is inserting module into your mission.
From the last version, modules was improved and they are now with priority (def, defgray, cold <=> 1501, 1502, 1503)

This release contains:
Namalsk island, v1.10

Updated Nightstalkers data files (ns.pbo, ns2.pbo, ns_plants.pbo, ns_rocks.pbo,..)

Part of ns_modules addon, improved color schemes and module for controlling uderground.

All pbos signed with NST.bikey for safety use in MP

This release needs:
ArmA II (patches are optional, i think, it must work with all versions) (But, i recommend to you newest patch or beta patch.)
