Namalsk light patch PGM version

Description
This is my own version of light patch for original Namalsk map by Sumrak ported to A3 by Lappihuan & Exile Mod Team .
I've decided to publish it for future development of Namalsk lightening and some other properities of this heroic map .
Thanks all guys who've worked on it in the past !

*** NEW UPDATE ***

The major and most important change was to "move" the geographical location of Namalsk Archipelago from [...hmm...somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean ...] (why the hell was it placed there ...?? ) - into more "realistic" location - just in the middle of the White Sea ( nothern frontier of Russia) . This new geographical position of Namalsk are: 65,15 N, ~35 E - just like the Solovetskiy Ostrov or Anzerskiy Ostrov. This caused severall important changes :
- change of the positions of the sun (the more nothern latitude we are the sun is placed lower on the sky during daylight )
- change of amount of light which is delivered to the ground and the angle of sunrays (on the latitudes near the Polar Circle even in the summer months there are less sunlight during the whole day )
- change the climate and daylight time .

In addition of those changes - I manipulated the day and mostly night amount of light and the level of humidity, which cause the namalsk nights (mostly in winter months) to be more deep, dark, and moist (sometimes you can almost feel the droplets of water blowing in off the sea... :) )
Most pictures in describtion of this mod - were taken in autumn and winter months (from November to March) .
At the end - I changed the amount of light which you can get while using NVG.

No.
First you should understand the rules, and the basics of licencing model in Arma3 (by BI)
From one side there is a original map created by Sumr4k and this belongs to him (he has rights to his work, that's obvious )
But from the other side - licencing under the GNU GPL , BI APL and so on - alllows others to modify, improve, etc the original content of mods under one condition : You have to add an info of Athor(s) of the original content. And that's what I did in the first few lines of THIS MOD DESCRIPTION.
So original map belongs to Sumr4k, then A3 port belongs to Lappihuan and Exile team (thanks Guys for doing that!) , and finally this little modification belongs to me.

You can use it together (map + PGM Lightpatch) , but You're not forced to do so .
Thats all .

There is no "your" version, map belongs to Sumr4k and this is his lore
markooff  [author] 31 May, 2022 @ 6:06pm 
Maybe.
But I'm rather not interested in " Namalsk lore " (by any means), or other Sci-Fi based Arrna 3 conventions. I preffer to keep myself and my mods as close to the nature, real geography (and milsim) as I can (as the Arma3 engine let me do so).
So - in my version of reality - Namalsk Archipelago (fictional of course) is placed on the White Sea and that's the point :)

Doesn't matter where it was placed im scripts, if you will read Namalsk lore, you will find out that it based in Bering Sea

Eventually - the problem of geographic coordinates.
If You look at the geographic map of this region - You will see that the geographic coordinates (esp. latitude ) of my "repeared" version of Namalsk :) are exactly near the Polar Circle. I've done this deliberately, because I wanted to obtain this special sort of climate and exactly that amount of dailight as You can spot near the Polar Circle (66,33 N). And unformtunately, all of Bering Sea Islands lay far away from the Polar Circle (even up to 12 degr. from there). There's of course one small archipelago (called Diomedea Islands) which has "quite good" geographic coordinates because they are directly in the middle of Bering Strait, but it's still far away from Bering Sea...

So - assuming all of that - the localisation on the White Sea was more or less good choice in my opinion :)

But most of them belong to the USA and there are only few of them (like Bering Island, Copper Island, Kartaghena's Island and so on) which still belong to Russian Federation. And nothing changed in this situation during last 6-7 decades ...

From the other side - the Bering Sea (which lays east from Kamtchatka Penisula on the border between North America and Asia) is quite sterilise if we speak about the islands, archipelagos and so on ... Of course there is one maine archipelago there (the Aleuts Archipelago (USA)) and few lonely islands (like st.Matthews, st.Lawrence or Hall Island) but nothing more. You can also take a look on some of my maps/satviews of that region : https://markooff.net/obrazki/PGM/!!modding/Namalsk_Light_Patch_by_PGM_info/geographic_coordinates_and_discussion/Bering_Straits_and_Bering_Sea_GE_Pro.png

Hmm, and that's the problem. Originally, on the Arma 3 World Map,
You can find the Namalsk Archipelago placed somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean
which is either very stupid idea or Author of the map wasn't geographically educated at all . But, based on the history of the Russian Frontiers (from 18'th century up to late 20'th century Soviet Union boundaries), You can find several quite similiar looking places, most of them are placed on the nothern territories (e.g. Barents Sea, Karskoye Sea, Łaptieyev Sea,... and the White sea as well) There are plenty of little lonely islands, bigger islands, much bigger islands and at the end - archipelagos there. Some of them were seriously affected by the soviet cold-war industrial power - together with 'the power' of the soviet criminal GUlag Organisation. And that's the 'Namalsk way'...

Namalsk based in Bering Sea, not White Sea
