Working on a map really close to the actual Wake Island scale, 1:1. While an amazing layout, most games condense the island for a quicker gameplay loop. A large, 1:1 Wake should offer much more realistic pace, far more tactical approaches, but also offer the same sense of cut-throat objective taking. Only mod used in this will be JM Trees, which are used for the Vietnam maps.

Will this be early wake Island like 1941 when we had control of it then the Japanese invaded it or late wake Island

Wake Island 1989

64 vs 64 wake island 🤑
That's the intention. Specifically why I made it closer to the real Wake size. Gives a lot of room to breath but also still has iconic choke points and island capping.

are you gonna to import custom models into your terrain?
sharp oasis
If I have time. V1 will be all stock, albiet vetted so the models don't look "so" off, with things like clay tile roofed buildings not being in it, all non-english posters and signs removed, etc
Custom object importing isn't my forte so it's not a priority until the first version is done
Airport almost done, with custom terminal interior placements
sharp oasis
are you gonna to import custom models into your terrain?
Although custom posters is super easy since they are just splines with no geometry so I will probably add a ton relevant to Wake around the map interiors to help increase the world-building in V1

What’s the ETA for this going on the workshop?

when its ready and hopefully done
sharp oasis
a few more days

Incredible work ! i feel very nostalgic now, remember 22 years ago.........

I can’t wait for it to he done we going there next
onyx glacier
do you post on the bi forums ?
sharp oasis
Almost done. Just adding Conflict objective and figuring out the workshop upload process. Having issues with both of those. No idea how long.
Will upload final screenshots tomorrow. If any map maker could help me with the uploading and Conflict editing id appreciate it.
onyx glacier
gonna have to ask in mission makers for create a conflict mission.
sharp oasis
Yeah. I got close. Made some objectives and play tested the map against the FIA and it was a ton of fun. But running into some crashes, misaligned in-game map, missing SCR stuff etc. also using the JMTree mod and the entire project is made in a read-only folder... Worst case is I just need to replace palm trees since that's the only thing in the read only
Anyway GN I'll figure it out soon. So close to done

Can’t wait to see this map, been wanting a proper wake island for a while!

Anyone know a good place for map making questions on Discord? Map is done, but I am having trouble with the in-game map and conflict setup, which kind of works
When that's done I will release to workshop with a Conflict mode so people can just roll it on servers day 1

I would think that the Terrain channel would be a good place to start, I don't see any other discord channel being better at asking these question than the Arma one. Will definitely check this map when it's fully done!

Wake Island (Version 1.0 Released)
Wake Island version 1.0 is in the workshop! Grab it now. Along with the map, the release includes a Game Master mode so you can jump into it. Will update it accordingly.

Hey, so I tested your map out, and I think it is one of the better map mods. A lot of nice attention to detail and care was put into this map. However, as much as I like the mod, there is one issue I noticed when playing in the Game Master scenario, where the AI don't know how to move around the map (they run into walls and buildings). The issue is that your map might not have a navmesh set up, so here are some links to try and help you in adding a navmesh (I don't actually know how to set up the navmesh, as I don't make map mods, but I know this is what the issue would be)

I appreciate the feedback. I never linked the Generated Navmesh after saving it, so thanks for pointing it out. Updated the Workshop file. AI should now work as expected.

love it, bless you

Map markings are off center for me
Also, are some of the bunkers supposed to be "tilted" due to age/time or did they mess up when they "snapped" to the terrain?
Besides those couple things. Map is amazing. Can't wait to do an amphibious assault on this map
sharp oasis
They are supposed to be a bit goofy from erosion. I should/will add some concrete rubble around them to emphisis this
Glad you guys are enjoying. Conflict version should be up later tonight
The map issue is one I have not figured out, the terrain is not at 0,0,0 so it's off, but I can't seem to find a way to fix it other than shift everything to 0,0,0 which is really not worth the time
onyx glacier
too much erosion for something that has such large footing
sharp oasis
Was going for this look, will fix ones that are further inland. Ones on the beach should be pretty titled imo
One on Wake Island today
But I agree, I will clean up the large in-ground bunkers as you said
onyx glacier
would be easy to make models for these
left shore
Ok. Kind of figured the costal ones were suppose to be like that. But wasn't sure about the underground one, lol...
The map issue's rather annoying though
sharp oasis
The map issue is indeed annoying

Well hope you can figure it out soon and it's an easy fix

This is beautiful!
How long did this take you? I've been on my project for months now lol
sharp oasis
Thanks, this was about two weeks, but I used to work at a AAA studio for about 2 years so I've had time to get used to game engines. 😛
hazy spoke
That's impressive! Good stuff man I hope to achieve this level of detail in my map!
Definitely checking this out more when I get home

Already have an op planned out. Just waiting on the map markers/symbols to be fixed... can't wait to run this map ❤️

@sharp oasis
What happened? It showed an update then dropped from the workshop?
😢
sharp oasis
Should be fixed shortly, sorry. Good news is the map is now working for the next update. Should be 20 minutes or so to fix the rest. Will also include Conflict
Just in a mad rush to get it all working and it broke some stuff. Will sort it out and let the map simmer for a few weeks on Workshop.
left shore
Glad that's all it was.
I'm eagerly awaiting this Sunday to do an op on this amazing map
sharp oasis
Thanks - been having a blast playtesting but once its done I should be able to get myself some proper time in the map as well ;D

Is your conflict a pvp or pve ?

Back up and updated. Now it's not showing GM or conflict in the scenarios list 😢
sharp oasis
It is now listed in the Test, GameMaster is back with working map fix finally implimented
However a final update can be expected to drop shortly with Conflict. Then I will keep my hands off of updating for a while
sharp oasis
All is good - play your hearts out. Map fixed, conflict mode up, game master is functioning!

After you've taken a break. Any chance of a PvE (US players vs Russian AI) Conflict mode in the future?
With more ai than the PvPvE usually spawns at each point?

Chat fix uploading now. Let me know if there are other things missing you need to run on a dedicated server, as this is the intent so it's good ot have a test. I'll try to update it asap as you find things so you can run it smoothly.
sharp oasis
US PvE Conflict Mode Added. Ambient USSR Patrols around the island and respawnable USSR units at all untaken enemy capture points. There is also FIA who will occasionally cause trouble to increase immersion (distant battles), but don't spawn again once killed at any point unlike the USSR.

Great work!
sharp oasis
Thanks! Updates are mostly done now. Last one for a while unless it's regarding improving the PVP Conflict for dedicated server use

@sharp oasis are you planning on make a WW2 version?

No. There is no IJN assets/troops so it's kind of pointless

Oh okay

Awesome thanks 🙌
left shore
Thank you for the PvE Conflict.
so many modders neglect the pve side of arma reforger and only do pvp conflict or pvpve but there's very few ai
sharp oasis
No worries, I agree. It's a lot of fun, even if it's just you solo or with a friend some night it's a fun time
left shore
Yeah. Solo, small groups. Or an operation where main objs and majority of ai are in place already
sharp oasis

It always kind of bothered me when I download a cool looking map, but if there is no servers with it, I can't do much outside of Game Master to check it out or use it. So yeah, a PvE version serves as a nice showcase for people to get into it

The radios you have at spawn(conflict) when turned on causes people to disconnect and no one can connect back in..
actually any civilian radio I place on the map and turn on causes a crash
