Nirrum 2 Posted January 5, 2014 I searched the forum and I couldn't find an answer why Chernarus still has no significant river on the map. Is it because of engine restrictions and water flow physics? In fact I cant think of any Arma maps with rivers. A few still water ditches and minor lakes really don't pose any real obstacle currently in the game. However, a wide deep river with just a few crossings would significantly enhance and focus tactics whilst traversing the map. I can think of so many scenarios where river crossings would be really exciting and dangerous. Perhaps even consider placing a ferry system somewhere, (think Buckleberry ferry in Fellowship of the Ring) where you could pull a raft across by rope and pulley. New loot, inflatable dinghy, paddle not included :P Bridge Bandits (new trolls) that want a toll! Fishing and hunting would be better. Falling in the river in the black of night, and being pulled away by the current. I appreciate Chernarus as was in the Mod didn't have a river but I really feel the Standalone with its current map has missed a serious enhancement here. This must have been considered by the Dev team at some stage, is it not possible or too difficult I wonder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karmaterror 982 Posted January 5, 2014 I heard that the water level was constent, and to make a river all the terrain would have to be lowwered to that sea level. That bieng said, iv seen all those little streams everywhere, that makes me think it is possible. It would be great to have aswell. A nice new use for boats, well, make boats usable lol. And all the things in OP. Give us a river! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nirrum 2 Posted January 5, 2014 The jpg with the rivers drawn on it looks pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrvik 2409 Posted January 5, 2014 I have no confirmation on any of this but if you find a stream and follow it you will see that "paths" of dirt has been made to connect the water when the terrain change elevation. Like there is a ditch made with a different texture. This makes me suspect running water is coming at some point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah, folks mentioned it a lot of times, that rivers would be great to have.In SA we get just small streams, which is a start! But yes, proper river running through whole map would be uber cool. Imagine the river piracy if you could shoot from some fishing boat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
