Project IRAQ

[covert mauve]

So this project will aim to bring all iraqis famous locations and terrains. WIP

[vapid jackal]

Cant wait looks great so far

[glass idol]

Please do not fuck up the arabic 🙏🏻

[covert mauve]

What do u mean?

[spring hinge]

Hej GxY,
I'm hyped to see your work!.
I have a question, will there be a Urban scenario? i am hoping to see some intense urban stuff like Six Days in Fallujah, would be an interesting concept!.
Wish you all the best and stay healthy! 🙏 😄

[spare roost]

will there be irrigation streams?

[covert mauve]

Yes sure this is a part of the map

[covert mauve]

Hey man, so yea there will be some urban places around the map but it will be like abounded places which you can run these types of missions on it.

[jagged steeple]

Super excited for this, definitely hoping to see some places with feel’s like ramadi and sadr city

[pallid pilot]

Just need the old marine drip 🙏🙏

[covert mauve]

That’s what i’m aiming for 😉 as u can see the building and the wall these two are planned to, every house will has is own fence of wall and own environment

[covert mauve]

Definitely will be better i’m doing now this own terrain models too.

[pallid pilot]

It looks so good

[turbid bay]

Looking good there! Do you implement occluders in the your new models? Those will be important with flat terrains mainly to reduce the load on slower or low spec systems

[brisk fable]

Looks good, bro! Gl with your project

[covert mauve]

Sure they will have occluders

[covert mauve]

Thanks man🙏

[glass idol]

I mean if you're gonna use arabic please make sure its actually arabic

Some other iraq map had fkn persian writing on it
And when the mod maker tried fixing he put hindi writing instead 😭

[covert mauve]

Hahah don’t worry brother i know this issue already 😉

[spring hinge]

Will there be some tunnels or caves on the maps?

[covert mauve]

Yes so about tunnels sure i’m planning to add tunnel systems that connect the house to each other, i’m just now learning the mechanics and 3d modeling tho the map development will be a little bit slow, underground connections will take a part from the map, for caves i’m not sure cuz the map is flat it has some hills but not mounted map cuz in iraq terrain is flat.

[spring hinge]

Makes sense about the caves in Iraq, my bad! 😅
Cool, man. I'm really hyped about this! 🙏
Take your time; no need to rush. The more time you invest in learning the engine and modding, the better content you'll bring to the public, and it'll definitely make your workflow easier too.
PD: Thanks for your answer

[wet plume]

@wet pecan

[covert mauve]

Custom iraqi wall

This little nice details will make the map more realistic

[glass idol]

Damn this fr looks like iraq

You been to iraq or something?

[covert mauve]

I’m iraqi bro

[calm obsidian]

You're a legend for this! Peak immersion! Looking forward to see what else you put together

[pallid pilot]

This and takistan

Both maps are looking very nice, cant wait to check them out

[covert mauve]

Some wall grafitti

[karmic rose]

Hyped for this map can’t wait to trigger all my homies ptsd

[uneven peak]

Is there a pic of the overall map?

[covert mauve]

Sure

[uneven peak]

Noice

[spring hinge]

Hej GxY!
Do you have an idea of when you plan to release it, approximately?

[loud osprey]

@wraith heath

[covert mauve]

Hey man, well rn i’m full time work so as i sed before the dev time will take much longer

[covert mauve]

under ground tunnels wip

[covert mauve]

Testing new dust effect for driving? aney thoughts

[spring hinge]

Not bad, maybe evading that dust to be inside the car if posible, but that is some great stuff for the map

Does de dust react on the wind?

[calm obsidian]

How difficult would it be to create a network of tunnels/ cave systems for investigative reasons?

[calm obsidian]

In reference to these photos

[dry shard]

why is this so compressed LOL

[covert mauve]

Well not that hard just palce tunnel and some land sclupting

[covert mauve]

U mean the video?

[calm obsidian]

In addition I love the dust on the humvees. Does the dust cloud start at the front wheels or is it positioned to be in the middle of the vehicle constantly?

[covert mauve]

this is vanilla idid just make it larger and changed color

[calm obsidian]

Looks awesome! I'm just worried about the particles effect by volume for anyone driving behind and how it'll affect FPS

Can't wait to try it out! I appreciate you answering the questions I got. There will be more in the future so Apologies in advance

[covert mauve]

It will not effect the fps, and yes its changes

[covert mauve]

Heli dust effect?

[fleet pewter]

Pretty cool

Would be cool you make that effect a separated mod for the guys who do a desert mods too

[covert mauve]

Some highways

[covert mauve]

I will when i finish the project

[covert mauve]

Designd some street signs

[calm obsidian]

Are we going to see a variation of plant life and types of soil? For the extra beauty of iraq

[covert mauve]

I’m working on tow maps right now, the first one its called Al-anbar desert, there is nothing only desert and a little building here and there, the second map is Karbala village, in this map u going to see iraqi farms/ streams ext

[calm obsidian]

Awesome! I was going to ask if it's going to feature any of its cities. Thanks for the clarification.

When the general timestamp for the map(s)? (1970-2005) and if it's regions are going to depict any landmarks in either location

[covert mauve]

Both going to be 2005-2014

[calm obsidian]

What do you propose the planned size of the desert Al-anbar will be?

[covert mauve]

Al-anbar is 100km

[covert mauve]

Some iraqi ruins will be around anbar

[loud osprey]

Dude your next level bro keep this ish up man, can't wait for the final results, whenever that is. From the looks of the sat, the map looks small and that's good.

[full blaze]

Haven’t really played Reforger since I got PC and moved to Arma 3 but this looks legit af might have to hop on the Xbox and play this map when it comes out

Is a An Nasiriyah style area with the 2 bridges planned? Would be sick to see and recreate the battle at

[covert mauve]

Well in iraq project all maps are expected but its coming sure when i feel want to create another maps

[full blaze]

Gotcha yeah that’s understandable looks incredible so far tho!

[covert mauve]

Hey everyone, i would love you to join our community Pathfinder, The Al-anbar dev process will post it there so welcome all guys

https://discord.gg/f5mnKTsUFA

[covert mauve]

Thank you Gxy 🔥

[covert mauve]

Iraqi Sidewalk

[pallid pilot]

Would be insane getting sand storms functional

Not sure if it’s possible

[uneven peak]

Are you making T-Walls?

[covert mauve]

No making sidewalk

[covert mauve]

This looks amazing

[calm obsidian]

If bacon made Fog, I'm sure sandstorm wouldn't be impossible

[pallid pilot]

I just dont know how it would look good

With the dust particles and what not

[calm obsidian]

You're right about that
I'm hoping it can look similar to BF2/3 sandstorm look. Even similarly to the blizzard we have in reforger.

I'm sure if we ask for a professional opinion it may work out somehow

[pallid pilot]

Def would be nice

[calm obsidian]

Do you think sandstorm would do your map justice?

[covert mauve]

Wll igess it will affect the performance

[covert mauve]

Some 20h work

[covert mauve]

Iraqi Graves

[jagged steeple]

With some of the bigger graves are they enterable?

[covert mauve]

Hmmm nope but ican make them enterable by build tunnels

[jagged steeple]

dude that would be awesome for hidden safe rooms for hvts

one thing we need to see is the saddam hole

[covert mauve]

Xd there is alot of holes around the map that u can get in

[jagged steeple]

I’m super excited mate, lots more Middle East and GWOT mods I’m starting to see pop up which makes my nerd brain happy

[covert mauve]

Saddams Villa

[jagged steeple]

Is there a Saddam hole lol looks awesome dude, would be great for GWOT ops but also for some ops in the gulf war

[covert mauve]

Thank you @covert mauve . that’s awesome

[modest loom]

What’s the rough timeline for this I wanna see some black water PMC chasing things down the street 🤣

[full blaze]

I believe he said 2005-2014 a bit ago in here

[covert mauve]

The HVT hit potential on this map is going to be off the charts

[covert mauve]

So in Europe the frontline of the fight is trunches, but i will take you guys to middle east iraqi frontline fight. Dirtpiles and Twalls are the cover line

[jagged steeple]

Not sure if maybe I’m thinking of the wrong era and location but will there be any remnants from the Iran Iraq war like a old battlefield, or anything from either the gulf war or 2003 invasion

[covert mauve]

Dirtpiels at desert terrain is the onley way that the defenders hold there area with

The terrain will contain sure places from 2004-20014 play ground modren and old, Anbar its large

[jagged steeple]

Awesome can’t wait to see this map released, gonna have plenty of long hours wandering around

[covert mauve]

Oil lines

[spring hinge]

Hej GxY!.
I have a question about a possible feature for your maps:
What do you thing about this? Would this be in some way possible to recreate on Reforger? this would be awesome tbh!.
If u ask what this is, here is the answer:
||When helicopters 🚁 operate in desert environments, their blades are exposed to friction with sand particles flying in the air. This friction generates sparks resulting from micro-erosion that occurs on the edges of the blades, even if they are made of highly hard metals such as titanium or nickel. The images taken of this phenomenon show the sparks resulting from this friction, demonstrating the effect of the desert environment on aviation equipment.||

[covert mauve]

Hmmm, looks nice, but these events happen only on sandstorm environment tho my map will not have sand storm environment. + seems hard to work on particulars like this idk how to add them. maybe ican figure out later

[austere star]

This map looks incredible

[covert mauve]

Alright guys, Al-Anbar is almost done, get ready to the invasion, the map will releas on Version 1.0.0, there is alot to work on still and im going to improve it, releass date on this weekend, also we going to run an ops on it so welcome to the unit guys, https://discord.gg/NBmGFJM5Md

[little bluff]

I'd say a little to strong but still amazing

[little bluff]

Will the map be open to the public by chance?

[covert mauve]

Yes its to public

[spare roost]

Do you have pictures of what kind of equipment the 2003 insurgency wore and fought with? Planning on making a faction mod when this comes out

[covert mauve]

Civi cloths with chest rig thats it

This is the current version of them

[spare roost]

Appreciate it, let’s hope all the clothes mods aren’t completely broken.

[covert mauve]

Hello guys

Al-Anbar its now on workshop

There is isseu with GM that things spawn in air when you spawn them from gm, But use L ALT to avoid this, i will try to fix that, if aney one know how to fix it, pleas tell me.

See you in Iraq guys.

[covert mauve]

Congratulations Gxy, I know how hard you've worked on this. Looking forward to jumping on!

[covert mauve]

Thank my G

[spring hinge]

Hi GxY, amazing map!
I just realized that on the Workbench, I only have the GM terrain available. It doesn't work if I want to create a conflict scenario with it. Could you release an update with no game mode set for the scenario?

[covert mauve]

Hey bud Hmmm wierd it should give accses on eden

I will check

[covert mauve]

The world is in main file, dont go to Worlds file

[spring hinge]

oh aight! didn't found it :S ma bad 🙏🏽

[calm obsidian]

If I remember correctly, Kunar/Worthy Islands had the same issue where things loaded in GM would be set 10m in the air. Perhaps those terrain authors can lend you a hand.

[steel nimbus]

that is usally a problem when the Terrain is not at 0.0.0

[covert mauve]

Yep i know and if i put it on 0,0,0 it will mess up all the objects

[covert mauve]

If aneyone have isseu with spawning things from Gm, make sure that you have these settings in Gm settings

[safe quiver]

Most Iraq insurgents were loyal to the old Iraq before American occupation so they didn’t have any uniforms just civilian clothes with head covers and old Soviet chest rigs etc most dressed like a normal Iraq civilian with just a ak and a headscarf to hide they’re identity this is coming from a lot of my family that served during the early days in operation Iraq freedom

[spare roost]

Appreciate the info

[covert mauve]

WIP, Iraqi Spec ops humvee

[calm obsidian]

Had the opportunity to play on your map Anizay and I have to hand it to you. BEST MF Middle Eastern Map I've played in a while. Love the secrets the map has. Please continue to support this map 🙏🏾

[covert mauve]

Sure man i will keep working on the map 🙏

[lilac pendant]

What’s that on the front?

Like a tow something?

[mortal eagle]

Maybe anti-ied system.

[lilac pendant]

Probably

[covert mauve]

For towing

[spare roost]

will you expand the cities?

[covert mauve]

Yep planned i’m working on it

[spare roost]

awesome

[worldly elm]

@covert mauve would you make a special forces Land Cruiser?

[covert mauve]

Idk how to mod e car from scratch

[worldly elm]

copy that but if you learned in the future would you make one?

[opaque pagoda]

could just make a UAZ the "land cruiser" lol add some rails you could hang from the side and such

[worldly elm]

bet

[covert mauve]

Yes sure when i learn

[lilac pendant]

What mod are the humvees in?

[covert mauve]

Will be on Project Iraq that it’s not yet published

[jagged steeple]

Not sure how or where to find the model but it could be cool to have a humvee with the rhino anti ied system

[covert mauve]

Ican make one, but idk how to script

[jagged steeple]

Oh don’t worry dude, doesn’t need to be functional at all, I just think it looks cool

[round star]

phoenix has a nice model

[fresh holly]

Passat

[opaque pagoda]

I could possibly make it functional

[wind citrus]

Anyone upcoming updates?

[covert mauve]

WIP

[wind citrus]

Love the map btw if you take requests you should something like osamas compound

[loud osprey]

Anizay has this already if your really looking for it right now

[wicked notch]

Looks like one of those Roblox province games

[golden fable]

Xbox having a hard time installing Al anbar. Every thing else downloads except this

[odd yew]

The creator is banned I believe

[dense pewter]

So does Fallujah. That's also In Pakistan not Iraq

[spare roost]

He deleted his account

[arctic mural]

Possibly the worst news I’ve ever heard since the death of harambe

[spare roost]

There’s is kunar afghanistan which is probably the closest you will get to Syria. There is also a Helmand Province map

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/62D71E24A9619DB0-PhoenixStudiosMapHelmand

Hope it suits your needs but I agree there should be a Syria map

[dense pewter]

Syraq map

[dense pewter]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/61E2E852D531AA7B-Syraq

[primal osprey]

doesnt work

[spare roost]

worked fine last time i checked it out

[daring wing]

Need MUCH more volume its not close to irl

[raven breach]

Dude gave up the project. Typing to a deleted user lol.

[outer fjord]

he got banned for racial slurs or something his other mod was banned for ripped models as well

[raven breach]

Love to see it lol. Get em outta here.

[indigo kayak]

Did he bleed out from the shot😭

[stark geode]

his mod is not deleted Anbar is still on the workshop and it matches his screenshots

[safe quiver]

Obviously 😂

[indigo kayak]

💀

[spring hinge]

This has no issues with copyright and license stuff for what i saw. It may be taken down, but i don't thing so

[lethal vine]

He’s back if yall don’t know his current account in this server is @ ytysandstorm he’s currently working on Fallujah
