Easily my favorite map I have ever used on this workshop period. Maybe it is just the familiarity of it. Excellent work!

Thanks for a great map. We used it in one of our weekend coop missions Force Kaska. Have posted a short youtube video. Great fun was had by all. Thanks again.

This map overall looks amazing, certainly brought me nostalgia from Operation Flashpoint, and has a lot of content, i could imagine myself doing some missions with this.
I think if there is only one thing wrong with this map would be the lack of rocks on the coasts, specially the ones near cliffs, and the fact that cities don't have much building variety. But aside from all of that good terrain and i certainly hope more people like this.

Wow, finally someone finished this map. I had an unfinished build of this map for years on my drive. Never sadly finished it by myself. Thanks! Now i can re-create the ofp campgain.

You can freely use Tanoa and Livonia buildings and vegetation.
Numerous maps did and they did not need the DLC.

It is highly recommended, as these are some of the best objects in the game and they are especially important because base game object line-up is simply very lackluster.

Even if the map stays in the Mediterranean setting.

Griffith did nothing wrong

OF:DR was one of my favourite military games, im gonna enjoy doing the campaign missions in arma for me and my buddies to play, thanks you very much for your work!

Awesome! Nice to see this map is still getting some love.

If you use contact buildings, they shouldn't create a dependency on them. CUP used the buildings for Chernarus 2020, and it didn't require players to have Contact DLC

Kaska v1.4 has been released. Improvements has been made across the map with an added 147,000 objects, including new and updated built-up areas.

For those needing the key, it has been moved to the parent folder, akin to how others manage their mod key.

Hi @The_77_Ronin - The Mediterranean pallet was chosen when development started as it was readily available for all players without needing additional mods or DLC.

@Chaplato Will the update bring buildings that fit the terrain and not Mediterranean buildings? Thank you for releasing my map btw

Kaska v1.4 should be released in the coming weeks to coincide with its 2-year anniversary

When is the next update/

The first mission of the original campaign

very nice & cool

Kaska v1.3 has been released. The update brings sizeable improvements to the map. Please see the Change notes for details.

For those needing the key, it can be found in the /Addons/key/ folder.

Hi! im having troubles with your mission. im trying to run it in a host but the only thing it shows it's an error. is there a possibility the key it's wrong?

Wish that it can be made using Livonian assets

You sir, are a legend! OFPDR got me into PC gaming when back when, then
A3 came out and I was forever trying to get this map into A3. Thankyou for this.

I've added you as a friend to possibly dm you about some suggestions regarding the map.

More vanilla arma maps!

Hi all, I have made an update (1.2.4) including the bikey, as well as some minor updates to the Southern areas of the map, notably Little Kaska.

Thanks for letting me know. I will look into making it included.

Links got removed annoyingly so I'm re-adding them here:
Example of bikey files [drive.google.com]
3den enhanced

As an example of the file you're looking for, here are the bikey's we've taken from various mods for our server {LINK REMOVED}https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/153_KxT0V4wrC0VrQKh1nUp2CJj_ej1Pj. We need a file that looks like this (you can generate one using the instructions in the link I sent in my first comment).

If you need an example of a mod that has done this, download the 3den Enhanced mod {LINK REMOVED}(https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=623475643) and have a look at it's mod folder (you can find it by opening the arma launcher, clicking on the mod and then the 3 dots "..." next to it and then click "Open Folder in Windows Explorer"). It has a folder called "keys" with one .bikey file in there.

If you need help or have questions, feel free to add me on Steam or reply to this comment.

Hey Chaplato, I'm afraid it hasn't be provided.

There is a kaska.pbo.Kaska.bisign file (which shows that the mod has been signed), the main kaska.pbo file and that's it. What we need is a file ending in .bikey, this is the public key that you used to sign the mod and can be shared and is what people refer to when they mention ".bikey".

It tends to be common practice to share it in a folder called "keys" to make it easy for server owners to extract it from a mod into their server. Without it, servers that are verifying players (e.g. "allowedFilePatching" set to "2" in their config) can't actually use your mod as they have no way to check if a player's mod is the right one or not.

Hi Toxic, the bikey is already provided - please look inside the 'Addons' folder.

Any chance of a bikey in a keys/ folder? Even though the mod is signed, without a bikey we can't run it on our dedicated server https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/174126-dear-mod-makers-sign-your-mods-its-easy/

I think the mediteranian houses don't fit in the terrain, would have rather used Livonia/contact assets

@Chaplato, please DM me. I am a map creator and want to help enhance the terrain.

nice

Hi all - Kaska 1.2 has been released. The update should be around 62.2mb. This updates adds and updates a lot of the areas on the map. Please see the change log for further details.

Where did you learn to mod it?

Thank you very much for the island :) Now the transfer of the campaign will be much easier. You can already download the campaign in my profile. Or here - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2877503448

Hi @Vipus - I tested the workshop release version and it appears to be working as intended.

Is it just me, or are the Buildings not loading in?

tested your island. In general, it is very difficult to play with bots on it. mountains are too steep, and it gets stuck or falls into the water. your island looks like islands with arma1 (sahrani). also too many blinders and peaks. http://joxi.ru/52aBgKlCloGbbA

Saw your post on linkedin and read your blog, so giving this a try!

@Gary the fish - I had a look, the key should be in the Addons folder alongside the pbo, seems the way it was built and signed it was not put in a dedicated Keys folder

Hello i was looking forward to playing this on a server but there is no key? can you please add this for server use?

Lovely map!

An update to Kaska is now out. For those with it already installed it should be a ~61 MB update. Please see the change log for further details.

Hi all, thanks so much for your support. Kaska 1.1 should be coming in the next few days.

@WOLFkraut - not me. And I think some of the missions are starting to appear. I've again been playing through the campaign and making improvements to those areas where I can as well.

Holy shit, this is really cool. I remember someone working on a remaking of this on the old OFP:DR forums like 5 or 6 years ago. Are you the same guy...? It'd be awesome to see a remake of the DR campaign on here.

it would be very nice if you could change the coast a bit and make them less high and steep.

Thanks all for the feedback. I will be sure to look at any bugs or issues mentioned. I'll soon be running through all the feedback and making a list of items to-do for the next update that should come through in the next few weeks.

Problems:
1. Very steep and high coasts on the islands and the continent. technique and ai just roll into the water.
2. all stones are transparent and shootable. it is useless to hide behind them.
3. AI does not recognize the houses and tries to drive through and shoot through them.
4. uneven airfields (not completed)

Very cool!

But some roads are to much upright to be authentic. The meadows and mountains are a bit boring, they deserve some mor details and changes for my opinion :)

Hello,

Could you please provide the bikey inside a keys folder with the mod? (NOT the private bikey!)
This allows us to run the map on servers without it opening it up for every other mod.

If you have any questions about the process feel free to ask me.

Thanks in Advance!
