    Introduction
    =========
    Welcome to Sahrani a fictional Atlantic island created by Bohemia Interactive (BI) for "ArmA: Armed Assault" (Better known as Arma 1)
    ArmA

    Bohemia later revised the map and re-titled it "United Sahrani" for the DLC "Queen's Gambit"

    Thanks to the hard work of .kju[PvPscene] and the rest of the contributers to the Caa1 Project we are able to bring this amazing BI map to the DayZ Audience.
    CAA1 Thread

    Sahrani has a robust history and we will eventually add to this story by way of revealing the events that led to "Day Z" on Sahrani.

    The Sahrani Map is approx. 400 km2, however actual land mass is closer to 100 km2 for the mainlands (Kingdom of South Sahrani (KSS) and Democratic Republic of Sahrani (DRS)) and approximately 120 km2 including all the smaller islands.

    The topography and terrain is varied and dramatic, offering what many consider to be the most dynamic setting ever put forward for the ArmA Universe.

    State of the Mod:
    =================
    We are under active and heavy development. We have received the source files for the map from Bohemia Interactive and are doing a full port over of the map for Arma 2, this will fix lots of stuff users likely don't notice, and some that they do. Long term it will allow us to make the map higher resolution and add/remove ANYTHING we want. We are also going to be opening up buildings from Arma 1 in order to allow a MUCH higher percentage of the cities to be open. We have a couple people working on it now, but can always use more coders, and modellers, Map editing is pretty well in hand, as is art it would seem, Yoshi our newest addition is cranking out some amazing art work that will get added incrementally on the Sahrani DayZ Mod, and will help make the map even more impressive than it already is.

    I played tonight and have to say as someone who's never played arma, the map absolutely KILLS anything thats out there. The topography and city planning are amazing. I've spent a few hours touring around but The terrain is varied and detailed in a way I don't think any other port or Chernarus even approaches...

    There should be a video up on my youtube channel shortly... Cifordayzserver

    I see that the OpenDayz mods made a section just for this port, thanks for the support guys. I am working to release this asap, there will be more media posted soon and the beta for Dayz Sahrani is not to far away.

    Hi Sherman,

    Look forward to seeing this! Its also really nice to see someone else branching out and doing there own modeling too. I don't believe a lot of people realise just how much is involved in modeling & coding new in game material. Most modders just go down the path of using existing arma 2 models.

    Looks like some new buildings there, whats the 'enterable' percentage?

    Also if you need help with how to map out loot spawn for new buildings, send me a PM and have a script I can set you up with. If you're already good, then look forward to seeing progress.

    There are no new buildings. I do have plans to add custom open buildings later into the port. I would say you can enter about 20% of the buildings.

    Any idea if it will get released to dayzcommander @ beta stage ?

    I am looking into getting it on Dayzcommander and hope to have it on later in the beta. I believe Sahrani is slightly smaller than cherno. The whole map is 400km2 acorrding to wiki, but that is including water, which there is alot of around Sahrani since it is a large Island. I believe from one end of the main island to the other is about 20km.

    I am thinking about packing caa1 with dayzsahrani since I will be editing some of the files in caa1 later in the development.

    Sahrani is larger map wise, but has a smaller land mass, however its not just one big blob and has that one choke point.
    Code:
    Sahrani                                            Chernarus
Map area......400 km2.................235.92 km2
Map size......20480*20480 m...........15360*15360 m
Land..........102.2 km2...............180.1 km2
grid size.....10 m....................7.5 m

    The thing I love though is it's not a Taviana style choke point... it's a whole city, you can skirt past it on the edges sneaky sneaky... IF you don't get sniped from one side or the other, or from within the city... and it's not nearly as long as the divide between the two Taviana islands... Tavianna bridge is like a canned slaughter alley. 1 patient guy with a satchel charge could kill a squad of 18 in a V3S... which is a cool dynamic but I don't like ANYTHING to be "on rails" in this game.... with the debri placement on that bridge there are 3-4 places where a GOOD sniper or a bomber could kill a massive squad or convoy without much effort.

    Thanks for the info and the website link learned a lot from it. When I went from playing Arma to playing Arma 2 I was very disappointed with Chernarus. I still think Sahrani is the best map BI has ever made.

    Trash, bases, and wrecks from Chernarus have been removed.

    Are you blocking the location stream or overriding the cfgtowngenerator?, also please dont use the town generator if possible because its reallt laggy

    Blocking location stream, I was unable to locate the cfgtowngenerator in the Dayz code.
