Few questions need answering about multiplayer?

[JMareel 0]

Hello my name is JMareel ([V-sog]JMareel & [GUN]JMareel when playing or on mirc) and I am the PR Director for GUN (Gaming Unlimited Network). I have a few questions about OFP and setting up mp maps and servers. Can you please answer them for me if you are knowledgeable even about one of them. I would really appreciate it as we are working on a big project.

1) What are the maximum dimensions/limits of a "map" that you can have? i.e. 5 X 5 miles, 10 X 10 miles, etc. If it isn't like that then can you please explain the dimensions and its limitations.

2) Can you, as admin, setup either your own spawn points for both teams on the fly 15min. before a match or have random spawn points generated 15min. before the fly OR is it a lengthy process to set spawn points?

3) Can anyone send me the full big map in .jpg or .gif versions of all 3 islands (Everon, Malden, Kolgujev)? I found a site, 3Dactionplanet.com, but the links are broken =(. I need the full big version that you see in the game.

I would greatly appreciate the help.

1. An entire island can be in the playable map. You cannot have a mission that spans more than one island.

2. Spawn points cannot easily be configured externally. Two options are using non-packaged (non-PBO, i.e. source) missions, and editing the source before starting the mission. A mission can also be designed to pick the spawn points randomly if you just want to introduce some variety.

3. The maps for the islands are on the CD as high-resolution PDF (Adobe Acrobat) files. If you have access to a high-resolution color printer, it is well worth printing them out.

Hmm... double post, here and on general forum?

1. No limitations unless set my mission creator.  The entire island is playable, however, multiple "kill zones" can be added my mission creator.  So if you leave a desigrated area, you die.  But not a lot of missions have this.

2. Spawn zones are set by mission creator.  Cant be changes.  Well, there is a small exception.  On a certain map (RTS2, the most kickass map there is! you can set your respawn zone to a building.  But this is very complicated thing, lets not get into it just yet.  I'll keep it basic.

3. By asking for screenshots of the island, I will assume you have not yet bought/played Operation Flashpoint.  Check out the Avon Lady OFP site http://www.theavonlady.org/theofpfaq/ Shes pretty popular around these parts.

 Any other needed info, well, just post here at the forums.  We will be happy to supply you with it.
