Sqeezorz 839 Posted February 10, 2018 The map is not just land and objects. The CLE was inserted into this structure and I think it sticks on the map like a puzzle (the AI needs surely also data). If it was just about the visual presentation it would certainly be easier. But there are so many things in it that would make a change to the marathon.... we should accept that Chernarus is part of a mainland .... an island would be easier to understand ... but it is not an island. (And no one would ever have been able to travel many miles to find the black box where we go in when "you are dead" appears. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I won't :D since I checked now and the size of Altis is 270 km2. South Zagoria is 225 km2 (15x15km). Edited February 10, 2018 by gorvi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cirkular 178 Posted February 10, 2018 Missed it by 30km2... Wait a minute, that's Limnos now you're showing! You said Altis! Still not 4x bigger then South Zagoria :P the numbers! And they are naming it wrong there on that map. It's not 'full map of Chernarus' size they're showing but one section, South Zagoria which is what we have in Dayz. And again, in Arma they call the map Chernarus+ :D so confusing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And again, in Arma they call the map Chernarus+ :D so confusing Altis and Limnos are the same thing. Also, Altis's total land mass is 300km2. The actual map size is much larger. 625km2. If you were to overlay South Zagoria over Altis from the top left there would still be 5/8 left. Edited February 10, 2018 by gorvi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cirkular 178 Posted February 10, 2018 Ah, yeah, I guess if the sea counts too, than it's true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sqeezorz 839 Posted February 10, 2018 The size of the map is actually irrelevant. The crucial question is: how is a map created. when is the size of the work surface defined? I suspect at the beginning. (I do not know, but it would be logical). So I will have massive problems if I want to implement the idea shortly before completion, expand everything to implement a "realistic border". What I mean is: clearly it is possible .... but who would be pleased to read that the beta is delayed by 6-8 months ... because of work on the map edge .... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cirkular 178 Posted February 10, 2018 Oh, my. 6-8 months. Forget everything we said. :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sqeezorz 839 Posted February 10, 2018 I would also like to see a better border, but there are other things that I expect more than that.
