panzereich Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Just wondering, because it looks like the entire state of Tasmania was abducted by Aliens and the south east part of Victoria was blown up and then flooded. This must have been what caused the city of Melbourne to panic and move a few hundred kilometers west. The rest of Australia looks pretty good. Now it takes me 3 hours to drive to work and when I get home, my house is under the pacific ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Some photoshop editing that accidentally removed too much shallow waters/beach. I have no idea about why the city has been moved though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 On the up side house prices in your area are lower than they have ever been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yes, this'll be redone. Look on the bright side, at least your country is still there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnarly Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 No great loss re tassie IMO, and I'm quite happy for Victoria to get a shake-up; I've explored it to death, and would love some new topography to explore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidfoam Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Actually i wonder, how much changes will the map see before release? Any more citys? Can you add citys easily with modding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giovanni Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Can you add citys easily with modding? You can easily add cities by editing the assets/cities.xml file. Open it in a text editor like notepad, and inside the <Cities> tag insert this text (I'll use Rome as example): <City> <Name>Rome</Name> <Country>Italy</Country> <Population>2786034</Population> <Location>4380,1090</Location> <PopupDistance>0.5</PopupDistance> <DetailDistance>0.7</DetailDistance> </City> The parameters you need to change are the city name, its country, the population and most important the location on the map (to retrieve this one, just open the geoscape view in the game, moving the mouse around the screen you should see its coordinates in the top left corner). Second thing to do is adding the city and country names in strings.xml, which needs to be edited using Excel or similar. Somewhere at the end of the file add a new line with the city name in both the first and second column, then do the same for the country if is not already present (for example, united kingdom doesn't need to be added because there's already a city there). Save and exit (click "keep current format" if prompted), run the game and it's done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidfoam Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Alrighty, ty Giovanni. I must add the nordic capitals so i can save Stockholm and Oslo if terrorized, and of course ignore to aid Copenhagen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The entire map is going to be redone though so maybe hold your horses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Or in the case of the OP, hold your seahorses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Pancakes Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Current city tileset is probably the only one we're getting. Remember, the maps are supposed to be randomized in the final version so don't lose hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishguy117 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 If you're going to redo the entire map can you make sure crete is selectable? I really want to be able to put a base there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzereich Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 If your going to make Crete or any part of Greece selectable, then you might want to be careful. We want Chris to finish the game. http://www.geek.com/articles/games/arma-3-developers-arrested-for-spying-on-military-camp-20120912/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiminyJickers Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The South Island of New Zeland is also missing a big chunk. Damn those aliens for abducting a large part of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzereich Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 I think it was a tsunami caused by using the magic wand in Photoshop. Since the planet isn't really that big or complex, maybe pen tool and pathfinder would be a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
