Have yall looked at the last update date???

THIS MAP IS DEAD!

And truth be told, it is a kinda crappy map anyway...not too much to it....just BLAH...

Wish you finished this map man. Cant Index it on ALiVE

Do you have an Airport index to the map?

@Mítia - It appears you do not do any research before asking did ya? ;)


YES, there ARE METHODS AND MODS to increase the viewing distance of grass!

They DO exist! BOTH!

You just did not put forth the effort to find them.... ;)



:)

I think the grass distance for the terrain is just too low and theres no mod nor tweaking the configs change that

C'est ma carte préférée...combinée avec Antistasi Ultimate et Expeditionary force, c'est un vrai délice...Merci

@Deuce - Based ONLY on my 20+ years of experience with ARMA, I think you called it correctly.

To help any others. There are usually 2 ways to see/tell if a mod is 'dead':

#1 - Last time the mod was updated. MAKE SURE it is NOT 'completed'. If so, there SHOULD BE NO updates. If it IS complete, then you HAVE TO use #2 as a 'guide'.

#2 - How 'active' is the dev on the mod's page? Do they answer every question right away or are they off 'hiding' somewhere?

A good example of this is to look at my mod's page and you will see #2 in action VERY clearly.

In this mod's case @Deuce, BOTH apply, thus why I agree with you that this DOES appear to be a 'dead mod'.


I think ya be right! ;)


:)

I guess this map isnt being updated now?

@Spicy - To give you some background, with THIS graphic engine, 11-12 years ago, computers STRUGGLED to run ARMA at max settings, so the DEFAULT is what you see. These can be increased by 'upping' the video settings in the game itself as well as mods that adjust 'under the hood' things that NORMALLY, a player could not access.


BEWARE: ALL computers and ALL computer programs WILL SLOW DOWN (lag), the larger the number of items it must handle. This INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO: # of players, # of objects, size of map, # of objects to be drawn (dynamic), lighting, and MANY MORE!.

So, yes, you can 'bump it up', BUT SOMETHING ELSE WILL SLOW DOWN!

:)

@Spicy - There are MANY mods that address this and other issues. YOU need to do YOUR own research.

And also check YOUR OWN VIDEO SETTINGS! ;)

:)

Is there any way to increase the grass draw distance beyond like 50m? Really the only thing holding this back :/

@Haze1744 - While this map is kinda 'crappy' and is NOT that good, I DOUBT it is causing your issues. I have this map and it has never 'lagged'. Granted, I am playing SP.


THINK...if its laggy on the server, it will ALSO BE LAGGY PLAYING SP! Remember! The PLAYER loads this map in MP!


4 things come to mind:

#1 - Sever is not setup correctly

#2 - Bad or too many mods in use (slowing things down)

#3 - All of you have 'poor' PC's which can not handle the load you are placing them under.

#4 - Some 'mod missions' like Antistasi/Liberation (and MANY others), will save things like every 30-60 seconds and these WILL CAUSE LAG! Increase the 'save time' or REMOVE IT.


Start with JUST THE MAP, test. THEN add ONE MOD AT A TIME AND TEST!


Good luck!

:)

Stutter issue while playing on the mp mission we have adjusted our view distance's yet we keep stuttering and cant find out the cause

To further my observations :
At least 3 bridges are bugged where no units can get on them
map coordinates
1: 007-982
2: 099-005
3 : 102- 099

The southern end of the bridge at montelivano is bugged where a unit can get on it from the north but not get to the southern bank, it will stop before the end of the bridge.

This map is absolutely awesome and might be even better than the vanilla ones. If this issues can be fixed it would be very nice !

Hi, I'm using this Map in antistasi and it seems there is a few bridges (wooden one center/east of the map) that the AI doesn't use resulting in entire convoys not moving. Any idea how to fix this?

*** PART ONE ***

@Undecieved - You're more than welcome! :)

Due to Steam's lame 1000 character limit, I had to split this into 2 parts...

I did look a little bit further after my original post and I noticed that the some person is doing what you're wanting to do. I would suggest that they might be your 'best bet' to ask, as they ARE running a server using the 'UMB Colombia' map with the 'Antistasi' mod with no issues (and 20+ other mods too).

Link:
https://www.reddit.com/r/A3AntistasiOfficial/comments/1asvjyn/the_three_month_war_begins_antistasi_one_life/?rdt=52896

The above post was made about 1 month ago, so it is quite recent!

*** PART TWO ***

Also, though it CAN BE considered 'cheating' and/or 'underhanded', you CAN join their server and as soon as you get in, quit. Then go and 'un-PBO' their mission file and you might find what you need from THEIR mission file. In other words, your error could be on the CLIENT END. Doing what I suggested will allow you to 'check' your mission file against theirs and hopefully find your mistake! ;)

This 'advice' is very old (50+ years old). It comes from the very early days of programming and it is termed:
"Do not re-invent the wheel" - i.e., Learn from others.


Do note: You will NOT be able to use their mission file as you do NOT have their server files! Do not even try - IT *WILL* FAIL! Nothing 'bad' will happen except the server will not start, that is about all that will happen! :)


Also remember! Google is your BEST FRIEND! ;) (This is how I found the Reddit post!)


Good luck to ya!

:)

thank you for your response sir. have a woderful day

@Undecieved - An 'Old Tech Tip' - NEVER throw 'everything together' and 'hope' it will work.

ARMA and map, then test.

I STRONGLY suspect it is NOT the map as I have NEVER HEARD OF a map working in SP yet crashing in MP. And I have been with ARMA for 22 years now, every since day one with OFP.

And there is NO WAY for us to tell you 'what is what' as there in NO CONFIG FILES LISTED!

As a former owner of 3 ARMA servers and admin on others, I am 99% sure your issue is 1 of 3:

1 - Improperly set up/configed server

2 - Bad/corrupt/out dated/missing mods

3 - Both 1 and 2


Besides, why would the Antistasi dev team say this works with this map if it did not?
( https://github.com/official-antistasi-community/A3-Antistasi/releases )


We can not help you - It is impossible.

The ONLY help is to: Read on how to setup an ARMA server and TEST ONE 'PART' AT A TIME!


Sorry
:(

hey guys , need help , this is my favorite map and I play it extensivly locally. I decided to rent a server and it craches my sever. can somone help please. I am playing antistasi ultimate.

@hateandcaffeine - It has been so long since I used this map, I do not remember.

BUT, here is what you do:

Load ARMA, this map, and NOTHING ELSE.

And if you REALLY want to be sure, create a new ARMA profile and use it to 'test with'. Make sure your 'hardness level' is set to REGULAR and NOT VETERAN (just in case).

If it works, then it IS a setting/mod on YOUR END.

However, if it FAILS with ARMA and just this map, it is the map,

Good luck!

:)

Is there a setting I'm missing to allow the map to have grid locations? The actual map does not appear to have grids, GPS, and CTAB also do not populate any form of location data. Is this an error on my side?

@☠ Booshy ☠ - Your issue is NOT from the map. This is an ARMA issue that has been around since A3.

Google this: arma dying on stairs

You will see a LOT of people with this issue.

If anything, it is an OBJECT issue and NOT a MAP issue.

It will happen on stairs and not ladders 99% of the time if I remember.

There are some 'fixes' for this, and if they will work for YOU, is unknown to me.

Google: arma dying on stairs script


You WILL have the SAME ISSUE ON ANY OTHER MAP THAT USES THESE SAME OBJECTS!

;)

Walking up the stairs of the crane at the mine & standing on the landing kills you, also the sugar refinery landing at the top after dropping from the top makes you hover and then die too, not using this map again.

COMO SE INSTALA PARA JUGAR EN CAMPAÑA AMIGO

@JRM - ALL maps are compatible to some degree with ALiVE.

Question is: HAS IT BEEN INDEXED???

For the BEST RESULTS, the map NEEDS TO BE INDEXED.

This tells ALiVE where 'stuff is' in "ALiVE's terms".


The ALiVE site has info on how to do this as well as a list of all current indexed maps too.


Not indexed?

#1 - Do it yourself

OR

#2 - Ignore that some things will be 'limited in scope'.



Hope this helps ya!

:)

Is this compatible with alive? I'm trying to place the civilian ambient modules but the screen get stuck at loading and nothing happens

@JayWing - What is the error? ALWAYS include the error message. This way the dev or even someone like me, can help you.

As it stands now, it could be ANYTHING causing this 'unknown' error.

This mod has not been updated in approx 1.5 years, so if it was a map issue, MANY people, INCLUDING MYSELF, would ALSO HAVE THIS ISSUE IN THIS TIME - We do not.

No complaints about door issues. Just you. This POINTS (not DECLARED), that the issue might be on YOUR END.


* LOAD ONLY and make sure ARMA AND ALL REQUIRED MODS are up-to-date.

* Try creating a new profile in the launcher


I think you may have some 'bad file(s)/mods' and/or a corrupt 'ARMA System' (ARMA, mods, etc.).

'Bad' CAN mean: Outdated, misconfigured, corrupt, the mod itself is missing other required mods, not being loaded in under that profile, corrupt profile, inter-mod compatibility issues, etc. mods.


At least now, you have 'direction' in which you can proceed!

Good luck!

:)

Some of the buildings seem to throw an error when you open the doors. Not sure if this has anything to do with the terrain but I wanted to put that out there

Thanks to you for that great map ! An Big up to the 77th who are still doin some great thing for the A3 community.

Love the map layout and design. Only gripe is why is there SO MUCH military infrastructure around the map. Almost every town has some sort of military facility or outpost. I may or may not have been to Colombia, and the military facilities are few and far between.

Keep up the great work!

Very nice map - Thank you.

Any planned updates? I notice that lunar fases are absent and day/night duration is the same no matter what month you set the mission date.

Otherwise, awesome work. Is a pretty fun map to wipe out rebels on the jungle o have a good fight on cities.

@Chaser, echoing the comment made by @Costa, the coords are off using simplex. Is this a known bug?

Yeah, it is. There are still some smaller bits and pieces, which I could improve, but I would give it a 99% done.

What's the status of this map? I assume that it's pretty much finished?

Hi, i noticed, that helicopters don't work with coordinates on this map when i use SImplex support services. Do you know anything about that?

This map is shockingly good. Performance seems to be decent despite the jungle environment.

Great map, but I do think you could change the grass colour to match up with the ground, that's really bugging me

Awesome and severly underappreciated map.

podrias habilitarme la llave?

Thanks for your feedback - appreciate it! ☺️

Hands down the best modmap i habe built qnd played mp missions on. Especially the rivers are awesome and open up new play styles with the speedboats.

Me: Mom can i buy Apex DLC to play on Tanoa?
Mom: No, we have Tanoa at home
Tanoa at home: UMB Colombia

Numerical values are too small for some grass, so the AI can see much better through grass
configFile >> "CfgSurfaces" >> _x>> "AIAvoidStance"
configFile >> "CfgSurfaces" >> _x >> "grassCover"

No worries, I get the workload must be never ending! Love the terrain mate!

Well maybe one day... every update breaks the map for the Alive Index, so I am not really gonna push an update for removing things I forgot about ;)

Quick preview of the map, love it so far - I noticed in the South East corner there is a collection of roads, logs, trees and rocks you've used, will that remain or be removed eventually? (I get weird with details like that, so I just need to know whether I should get over myself or not haha)

@Chaser - You're welcome! I know some people do not know as much as we might and to 'help them', stuff needs to be 'pointed out'. I suspect this is how you got your 'start'. I know it was for me and STILL IS! ;)

As you know, ARMA can be quite complex in things and on some games such as RDR2 or COD, weather IS part of the map, so I do understand their question.

Thanks again for your kind words as well as your map!

:)
