New Upcoming map for Conflict (as soon as the Workshop allows)

New Upcoming Arma Reforger Map JRM_Island_Infiltration for Conflict Game Mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdCVNu2NYlA

About 90% complete on this Arma Reforger New Map I am working on. It has several different Islands with numerous Access Roads and paths to each one. There is A tunnel on the map and also a small cave. Many Bridges to get across to different Islands. It also has 1 Marsh / Wetland area with a wooden bridge you can take across or you can also drive in the water beside the bridge as it is shallow water.

As soon as the Workshop is back online again I will try to get the map uploaded so people can start using it. It is already ready to go all 11 of the control points work and then you have 2 Spawn HQ's for Conflict game mode. A little at a time I will finish the other 10% of the map adding more details and such, but right now it is very playable.

What server?

Its not available yet. Soon I will put it on the Workshop so anyone that wants to host a server with the map can. It is only currently setup for Conflict game mode. It has 11 control points and 2 HQ spawns. 64 Player server would be good and a 128 player server on this map would be nuts with a lot of action.

It has a little bots at the fia bases so after you take them out you can take the control points. It is set up for having actual real players join the server though like on WCS type servers.

Thank you for the nice reply! It is a fun map just to drive around on and explore.

I have worked on the map a LOT and added more details, bushes, rocks, etc.

I also added the ability for some boats to work ( for me if I start a server next month ).

Still waiting for the workshop to be back online or I would have thrown up a test version for people to play. Its at 95% done now and fully playable. Will continue to update.

Here is a new ground video showing off a lot of the map, I had to cut the video down a lot as if I just drove around every road non stop it would be 45mins long.

Enjoy.

I also forgot to say that I have it to where people cant "CHEAT" and see through grass and tree lines by putting the graphics settings to low or lower than low.

It forces everyone to use Medium grass settings at the lowest. You can obviously go high as you want too, it just wont go to low. This won't let people see through grass for up to say 150-200M close range whatever you set on the Server side to force. I would put it to 150-200m.

Also you can get a mod that forces on Contact Shadows for treelines / woods so people cant see right through trees.

I am using all of this in the video client side and you can see the performance is very very good. I have optimized the map pretty good too and even forcing people to use Medium Grass at the lowest you won't lose any performance. You will get the same or maybe even slightly better FPS as I have optimized things for PC and Xbox consoles.

I have also manually hand placed bushes along tree lines and trees in a way that you can actually have cover and hide.

In the pic above is an example of what 1 bush by a tree will do in my map. My player is actually in that bush and you cant see him.

New WCS Style Server just launched.

New WCS Style Server located in Virginia Data Center

[NA] JRM's BattleZONE 24/7 WCS Style New Server
IP 108.181.57.226:2001
80 slots for now, might bump it up more after testing.

Has all the mods like the other WCS servers and more.
Added Tanks on both sides.

Nato has M2a2 tanks 3 with different skins
RUS has 1 tank that works the OT-90 (the other 2 can be fixed later after the workshop is back online and allows people to push updates).

Added a lot of helis.

Bigger Arsenal of course.

For now am running a smaller map WCS_Zarichne_Conflict or similar until again workshop updates.

I have my own custom map made for the WCS style that is already Complete and adds everything mentioned + boats. (waiting on workshop to open back up).

[Jrm]

The Workshop is finally back up today!!

I have the map on the workshop if you want to test it.

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/6474009CA2949B16-JRM_Island_Infiltration_v2

*Do note the boats currently are just temporary but they work. I had to bump the boats speed down because when running as a dedicated server the camera would not update fast enough while you are on the water at fast speeds. It was causing some hitching using the modded boats. Its acceptable now, until I find better boats or update it.

Other than that everything is flawless.

Will continue to add more details and such, but its 100% playable.

I do have a server now, but it is brand new, only had 2 or 3 people at a time so far. I run a mix of Wcs smaller maps and sometimes I will switch on my map.

Enjoy.
